If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing... excessive is positively brain numbing. As the Trivago bloke might suggest....do I really have to say it again ?? We are not talking anything big. It only supports the turf above it. The Engineering of this is at the lower end of anything hard. Seriously. Bog standard cut and cover. Done and dusted.

When you dismiss all the noise its really one of but a very few realities that we can hang a hat on. We are still at Goschs We would like to develop a Home at Caulfield We are NOT at Waverley That's about it

I understand the desire for a proper home. God knows it's long overdue. Do you seriously ( not sarcasm ) think The Tip at Dingly drags the elite there ? Waverley would not particularly advantage the players . It might have some allure for Admin. Admin dont take the field so they must logically come after the needs of the players ? Is Gosch’s ideal. Of course not. But imho its not driving talent away. I would think ( pure supposition) that by this season's end we'll know what were doing. Without doubt the wait is frustrating. I don’t for one second give any legitimacy to the rubbish the likes of Betsy propagate but there is obviously some impediment currently. ( and strangely i dont think it's money ) But here we are wanting and waiting. Still. I find it curious that we have looked at Waverley, and quite seriously yet we dont seem as keen as some suggest. Or we'd be there. We're not. There must be elements that the club understands and gives weight to that tip the scales towards staying put for the present. 🤔🤷

Torn. Like to see Bill get a few runs...just to know. Like to see Trelly build 🤷

Chicken ??

Like your thinking...but No private school is going to do that. If i have to explain why...you dont understand their property strategy 😉 MFC needs to develop their own home.

That stops us training ? Get your hand off it ffs

Yeah.. a hoot Care to illuminate.? Share what you know perhaps ? Where are we ...same ol same ol Otherwise..maybe stfu

Are we non functional ? Coffey was full of 💩 We still train, etc. Some things are more idyllic in want than actually necessary.

Not minding that selection. Go us !!

The context to consider..possibly... Hawks had Glenferrie . Now I have mixed memberances of that place... but I did love the old suburban feel. [censored] of a place though. I get why they left THERE. Waverley undoubtedly better for them. Would it really be THAT much better for...us ? Just to get Admin all cozy ? Really 🤷

Ive given this some considerable thought. How much weight anyone should apportion... well... I understand the attraction of 'all under one roof' But do we simply go 'somewhere' because it might afford that ? Do we stay put until our preferred choice comes to fruition ? ( 🤔 if ) Context is both a wonderful thing and really the only metric. Waverley offers something.... and yet is very much a compromise. Goschs... certainly not ideal.... not totally unworkable either. But Gosch’s does provide something .. accessibility. The more I think about it the more Waverley is a pig in a poke. I can see why the Sqawkers left. In the classic vernacular...is Gosch’s 'broke' ... does it need fixing ? Ideal ? NO.. Broke ? No... it's effective. Thinking.....🤔🤔🤔 Do nothing 'cept push forward to Caulfield Just my 5c

It's a beautiful thing 'the closeness' .. by far the very best 'closeness' we've ever had !!

That was then... This is now .... May the belief be strong with the boys !!

Im neither disbelieving nor disputing your information. I'm just amazed.

Disco back for #4 ?? 🤔😳 Broken hand .... 4 !!! 🤔🤷😳

Thanks Ghosty

Afternoon all. @Trackwatchers and regular in-the-know's ... I can see no info for any training this week. Have we gone 'stealthy? 🤷 Any and all insights , information and gleanings most appreciated. @Ghostwriter @Harvey Wallbanger @anyone😆

🤔🤔🤔

Exactly. There's bound to be plenty of hits and misses this year. We did any number of things poorly but that can and will be addressed. To what result.... yet to see. Going to be interesting to see how we play . We can do nothing about the last result. We CAN do a lot of things better. Hopefully we do.

Could substitute any number of players in that consideration. This is where we start to really understand the what and where of this new FD. Easy to tinker and caress when all's going well but real character and ability comes on display through adversity. Most of this team has real ability and CAN play good footy ( we do need some more players of a higher ilk but that's another discussion) but they didn't on the weekend... well not nearly enough, for long enough. Hopefully the coaches can attend to this with positive reinforcement of what was done well and work with that. We got knocked down.. we need to get up

Interesting. A New coach wants/ needs the players to buy in,to believe to understand this requires resilience, patience and perseverance. Thats what is asked of the coach and fd. Now... you can't really expect players to buy in if the fd doesn't.. yes/no ? Only changes this week will be forced changes. Tmac for Disco. I expect the rest to remain pretty much the same. A lot of you lot are worry wart panic merchants. This year is about growing... not a flag.

Disregard if you will that this is just one game in. Actually, disregard the result. I'll be brazen enough to suggest we are at the start of a new era. I'm not disrespecting Goodie. He came , had a vision, had some very interesting ideas ( so much they changed the rules ...thats amazing really ) He guided his troops as we were under the realities that were and got us the best box of Choccies !! Thankyou. But we're here now and the club is different. Hence new era. Will we dance the dance again ?? 🤔🤔 I think we might. Not this year, nor likely next... but look out after that. I see something in this bloke.... I reckon all his charges see something, even seasoned gladiators feel reinvigorated. Viney's champing at the bit. All many of us felt for a long time is we have ability, some very decent talent on our list. Now, instead of 18 blokes defending, we've 18 blokes attacking !! We often comment about players buying in. King definitely has.. He's now a committed Demon. As ol Big Kev (rip) would say... I'm excited !!

He will be very much the 'quieter' achiever ... but am sure he gets that. A very astute acquisition

There is much to say about this. There are those who's only joy is to NAG ! Tbh a lot of the horsey set are right up themselves and can go [censored] themselves sideways Some in that 'field' are totally of themselves... To build MFC at Caulfield is not hard...truly There is a lot of rubbish debated here The problem is political... not about the build.
