whatwhat say what

the umpiring has absolutely no effect on our appalling skills, lack of second efforts, poor decision making, and lazy footballers

wow we are bad

lol 'retirement'

as a midfielder trent rivers make a solid half-back

the minute they get the ball on the outside they're off to the races we are in big trouble

kolt has been appalling trying to do way, way too much we're lucky they haven't kicked straight

we are SO SLOW to start the transition from attaining possession to putting speed on the ball movement

these look like two super ordinary football teams lack of pressure from both is...bad

yep - their slingshot from the back half run-and-gun game into three big forwards with swooping smalls is basically the modern game we wanted to go with that at the start of the year, but the triumvirate of jvr / el jefe / aj ain't no fogarty / tex / thilthorpe, and only lasted one week to start the year!

i would have lindsay ahead of reid, and both kako and langford in front of him as well outside of a 15 min purple patch in his debut game, he hasn't been that great

methinks he means flagmantle's murphy - not harley - reid oliver's lack of return to his incredible best is a disappointment anything we trade him for will not be worth it

oh i heard it at 22,500 so we had about 5k more in a better location and - i'd argue - at a better timeslot the docklands carpark is a horrible place to go

correct

22,500 ish very similar to what we get against flagmantle aints are a remarkably similar-sized club to our own, albeit with significant more $$s coming their way from head office

crom the in the mid-00s, aints in the late 00s, pear in the late 10s-20s, flagmantle...forever premierships are hard to win and should be savoured

wouldn't have traded him if it had been known brayshaw was going to be forced to retire footscray going great guns

i have no confidence he can get through a pre-season, let alone 25 games

it's funny, from 2020-2024 i was incredibly confident us winning every game now i have uncertainty as to whether or not we can even be competitive my mfcss is tingling; not helped by some random stat i saw the other day that meth coke win more round 8 games than any other team or some such poppycock do it for plugger mac, dees

go aints i want flagmantle failing every year while dog jackson remains there come home, luke...

rookie me central is a great service

i reckon max has had two standout games, and a couple of ones where his colours have been lowered bowey and plugger mac have been very consistent, while chandler does all the little things that get votes from the coaches

i reckon way higher he's been more consistent than gawn, and other than plugger the backline star has been bowey, while chandler and - gulp - sparrow have been the best of the forwards i'd go current top 3 of: 1. bowey 2. plugger mac 3. chandler

tbh i don't wonder at all evidence points to the fact that we're not very good

pert was coming from a culture of: the stench of death at fitzroy the post-1990 premiership and death of darren millane at the filth austereo going from a giant in radio to a minnow channel 9 being an absolute mess under eddie the filth's second rise under malthouse into the mess with figjam taking over took over at mfc and saw us have biggest and our most successful era since the 55-64 make finals for the first time in 12 years in his first 6 months in the gig win a premiership three years hence two top four finishes thereafter record membership numbers record revenue numbers so, yeah, i would argue that the 'culture' that he saw at the mfc from 2018-2023 probably WAS the best he'd seen in 40 years of football then working life

tipping: peptides flagmantle footscray? crom? filth? us? gw$? dingley bears? best for us would be relatively similar, possibly with the exception of north getting up tonight, aints tomorrow night
