whatwhat say what

no stone left unturned but alas no sods neither

head office memo's finally got thru

captain's goal

pear need a goal cos bloods feel well on top

they've nearly all been there imo

grundy getting a pantsing

game definitely being played to pear's style at the moment

what is bomberblitz saying about all this?

i don't think nuffie is a pejorative is it? i 100% consider myself one! and everyone on here...only nuffies would be this engaged

another example of them showing that they are exploring every opportunity that they can

first two years under pert were to try and get us closer to the mcg - was a bust, but at least they tried, including going through a process and getting knocked back caulfield has been in train for the last two years, and it's another throw at the stumps but at least we can clearly see that the board is trying everything to make it happen you've said you don't trust the board; cool, i guess i am giving the benefit of the doubt as they have - from what i can determine - been pretty clear in their aims and outcomes and timelines around trying to get us a home base for the duration of the time since ol mate out west, jackson, and roos were parachuted into the club first step was casey (win), next was yarra park (fail), third is caulfield (we'll see) arguably, we're closer to something actually happening than we've ever been since 1964 i see that as a good thing rather than a bad one, which to me says that - despite massive issues amongst themselves, clearly - the board and administration have worked as best as they can to actually make it happen i look at the prospect of a base at caulfield and a satellite site at casey to accommodate our four sides as a massive win that should give us a leg up in the competition for years to come i hope it happens; you expect it won't i couldn't deal with being that negative about something that i, ultimately, have no control over

but i don't understand why you expected it to be any different they said this time last year the feasibility study was expected to take the majority of the 2024 year an announcement has now been made of next steps the way you automatically assume the worst outcome is mfcss to which i can only aspire; i'm not that hardwired to negativity i say 'we'll see' i have hope, which i think as a football fan is what you want, rather than going full hanrahan - "we'll all be rooned!"

holes? as opposed to the 'not what i'm hearing' from 3aw? hearing from..? this was always going to the process - the notion that it's 'had holes picked within it within 12 hours' and that releasing it has 'bought [someone] a year' is such a negative way of looking at the announcement mfcss manifest, indeed

if noble was a non-event then there's no way that he'd be getting a 4-5 year deal at gc17 and the filth would be demanding pick 12 for him as an opening gambit speedy half-backs who can hit targets = the new inside bulls; every team wants two of em

hanrahan's "we'll all be rooned!"

until proven otherwise, one is a piece of scuttlebutt by a 3aw rumour and the other is an official statement by the club no need to jump at shadows

The Melbourne Racing Club has sensationally ruled out rebel John Kanga’s push to spill the board at a special general meeting. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/racing/melbourne-racing-club-bury-caulfield-rebel-s-push-to-spill-the-board-20240919-p5kbww.html

he's anything but precise by foot imo

i'm sorry but i just don't see it houston is a much better ball user by foot, accrues more disposals, impacts the play much more... personally, i'd like both! don't see this as a knock on callaghan; more of an indication of how highly houston is as a player in my estimation

did you see the game where gw$ beat the puddy tatts down at sleepy hollow and it felt like he marked EVERY f50 entry?

no way houston is one of the best ball users in the competition callaghan is a good player, but houston is a two-time all oztrayan for good reason

2025-30 - we'll finish somewhere between 1 and 19, hopefully closer to 1 coffee i think you missed my follow-up where i said how excited i am by this announcement, and that to get it fully built by 2030 would be a brilliant result for the club

who briefed the slobbster on this? mates at the peptides i assume, given it attacks stringer, and stringer is making life 'difficult' for them at the moment

four teams with different programs able to experience different environments and tailor the training based upon different set-ups is the ideal situation for the years, decades, and hopefully centuries to come i am very, very curious to see how the filth, the baggers, and the tigs manage everything in the future the latter already tried to augment their oval availability and got blocked at the pass

very unlikely i think we have a long term agreement to partner with casey plus the advantage of having caulfield and casey is two elite facilities, not one
