  1. Not alone.. something very squirelly at MFC. But possibly at many clubs. Just...i'm not fussed about them ;)
  2. And your point ??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂
  3. Make some interesting observations and points. We are not Collingwood, this seemingly is Schadenfreudian , being both a good and bad thing. I want to see us attempt a good hard running game of football. Bit over this handball imitation. Go Dees You know...once again...but with meaning Melbourne
  4. No...possibly.. Might be easier if we did more right ;) That's down to the players/coaching.

    Or is his mind elsewhere ?
  6. Or... lose...and we will give critique as to why....and where that leads. Win.... and we'll have a look at what we did right. Either way.. look at the game....the result.. and move on. It's not really that hard surely ?
  7. The reality... and it is just a 'what is' to me, is we could be anything atm. Bit like a punch drunk fighter we're careering about seeming with no one in the bridgehouse. This doesn't go unnoticed by oppositions and they play to our weaknesses. We need to get back to a simpler method. We can start by cutting down the over-handballing. This smacks of indicisive hot-potato. We just don't have enough comensurate skilled artisans presently to carry off a style that's too clever, too cute. We seem rather devoid of confidence , though that might possibly be more me lol, and until the belief that doing X results in Y I really think we need to just keep to the basics. We may still lose but we might start rebuilding the style into a useful game. We need to get the Engine running again before we attempt to change up Gears or put pedal to the metal.
  8. I'll give you an insight as to how i think. Firstly... the glass half full, half empty correlation I all but dismiss as I don't agree to the merit of those relative outlooks. Im actually more inclined to favour my Engineering and suggest that that Glass is not fit for purpose as is obviously the wrong size...and it always seems to be ;) Speaking of not fit for purpose.... we have the MFC . I don't like that it is this way. We're currently playing like a committee designed horse ;) Will be very interested to to how we go about the game today. Personally the bookies have it arsecabout ... imho. But... Go Dees Just try and get going.
  9. And who are they..... these brutes you speak of .... I've seen more desperation and hardness at the local primary school tuckshop !! Agree about the "enough" We'll see

    If ???
  11. This bit most definitely... but I don't think it has to be a house hold established big name. Just someone who CAN

    May has a bit of mongrel.. Kept in check mainly. I just dont see that in Petty. Hes handy in the backline...but no Key Defender... just isn't
  13. Are we winning or losing.... ...asking for a friend
  14. Can have Billings back
  15. Have always abhored the very idea of a 'defensive' forward.. by all means have an idea how to 'attack' a defender with the ball but the job of a forward is to worry both thre scoreboard and the other team. I.e worry about your game, your efforts and let the other side worry about YOU.
  16. Be fantastic to get someone back who has very good footy nouse.
  17. He plays much "older" ;)
  18. Petty fwd.... why am I not exstatic For the 'happy people".... yes i guess that's negativity. I'm certainly POSITIVE it's nothing to get excited about. Looking forward to the young lads having a crack .
  19. Is Walker actually cooked ? seems not too shabby

    My thoughts go to any who have lost a loved one and also to those currently dealing/living with the scurge. Those that have survived I wish you many many more years. I also know that eve in remission you live with it everyday. My wife is also a survivor. You learn to never take anything for granted. Hopefully , one day, a cure. Strength to all

    No one cares what Yanks think.....other than Yanks of course.... They've bastardised the language and therefore forfeited any relevance. As in..Tonite I'm thru with donuts. That said at least there are those around who sorely test the limits of Darwinism that'll probably dial 911 thereby doing us all a favoUr ;)
  22. We do have a choice though... It's left field with no guarantee of success. So in a fashion a choice of similar certainties. Plan A aint working....soooooo... ???
  23. It is really... If someone is way off the boil then really what point gifting them games ? The argument sometimes is to play someone back into form. That hardly ever happens with us and certainly hasn't with Petty. Much better imo to play someone with 'some' ability who puts in and just maybe might grow. They are the only two choices at the moment. If A not working... insane to continue
  24. Tbh... the whole circus with JW was very poorly conceived and handled.. The hype was off the charts. No reason reallyba player can't debut in any game.
  25. Defenders tend to spoil unless a mark is easier or opportnistic. Not rocket surgery here. THE point is... Moore was defending.... attempting a spoil. Not marking... stay with me Daz ;) .... ergo.... the prefered movement is to punch... by launching forward..... NOT elevating as though to mark. By elevating you actually create a negative force because you're pushing off the back in front of you. So ...yes... i may have missrd your point.... what was it ??
