Training Ground?
Again ...i suggest someone got in on a false premise. Not just an empty PROMISE... but a fabricated premise. A good job our 'business' is sound these days.... the boardroom seems...well...bored.

Suns we struggled.. hardly convincing. Dockers....hmmm Giants....oh well

Training Ground?
I always get the impression the MFC board room has some bewitching quality. All who enter it become becalmed and content. Must be a cozy little gig for those so entrenched. Nothing really ever happens. After the sandwiches eaten and reds quaffed its down to the serious work ...of napping. Roffey was ALL about the new home...... ZZzzzzzz... Whenever a daring interloper raises their hand to mount a challenge amazingly the scurrilous memos and emails drop into our inboxes. The recalcitrant incursion is blanketed with the dare devil banished to Coventry. Its obviously more important to suggest something might get done....than do anything. That might disturb the nappers....so ..Shhhhh !!

Curious ...why ? If we're playing Port it must mean they are the most in form team to finish 1st. We'd be playing them on their deck . Not nearly as keen about that as you :)

The Run Home
Ahh.. the luck thing. Yes ...often a key ingredient in any venture. Lucky for them... no Oliver,no Fritta... and nothing resembling an on fure forward presence by us. It's intriguing that other teams manage "training runs" over lower placed competition... but we seem to struggle by comparison. Ww simply need to win this...somehow...otherwise they have it over us...and that wont be fun come September

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Brisbane
Interesting thoughts. Not sure we have sufficient players able to carry out a successful blitz at present. Happy to be wrong I can only suspect our ability to beat the Lions will again fall to our defenders. We managed a 'whopping' 12 goals the other night with Trac having a night out..he'll need to repeat that again....and have company. I expect we'll need to score in viciinity of 16-18 goals Friday.. and so it , to me, beckons.....from whom. Fagan will have set up big time for this game. He needs to banish the hoodoo and get his lads thinking the G aint such a bad place.... ( esp come Sept )

It's always about the IFS though. That's not to be deliberately pessimistic or such It's just to acknowledge nothing is a gimme in sport. Fagans had our measure of late. Goodwin will have to be on the ball as the Lions wont hesitate shuffling the magnets to shut down whatever party tricks we intend to employ. We just aren't consistent or settled.

Probably time to rescind that peppercorn lease. Im sure anadept legal type could find a loophole. Silly of the Saints to [censored] off so many Baysiders...Though thats a very StKilda type thing to do...lol.

PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Brisbane
Yes...theyve many more strings to their bow than the Sainters had. The game ought to be much more free flowing....cant see the Lions needing to think they need flood. Their defence has been pretty stingy too. Funny i thought we'd need to kick around 12 goals to beat the Aints...and we managed just that. That wont be enough to get over Fagans mob i feel. I truly dont understand how we're favourites going into this game...those odds ought to be reversed imo. Anyhow... good luck us....we're going to need buckets of it. Selection going to be interesting...again.

And if Port finishes first as opposed the Filth.....well thats a very different proposition. Personally i see the big dance as a prison bar event. Still...lets try and get over Brisbane and see what the view looks like then.

Who owns/controls it ? Cheers

The Run Home
Quite....if we cant knock off the Leos on our own deck......much of what comes after is moot imho. We'll be making up the numbers... This isnt an 8 point game coming up... its more than that....it's about relevance.

You can have both... You could say develop Caulfield as your primary base and still utilise Casey. After all Casey would still use/need Casey..

Rubbish... it simply predicts two things really.. you may retain the ball more in a pocket...and youre far more likely to score in the corridor. Pleased dont offef up the falacy that greater retention = scoring. This is the greatest furphy of all... Its about efficiency and accuracy. You may not have ir as much where youd like it...but youll score higher. Stangely the game is about the latter not the former. The best teams over history are the ones that dont stuff around.
