    Yes, No T$ No B$ is the biggest ever thread, this is #2. The now locked "Time to go Mark Neeld" thread is currently ranked third, while "Tanking" is fourth.

    Good luck!

    Petterd's form last year was stunning. Honestly, I'm amazed anyone's even bothering to mention him in the context of "lost" players. Delisting him was an absolute no-brainer on output at the time.

    Yes, went a little early on the reply button. Ah well, by the time I've posted this it'll be about 50 pages in anyway. Carry on.

    That's how real words come to be: either through misuse of an existing word or the recurring use of a non-existing word. Look for "agreeance" in a dictionary near you soon.

    My favourite stat: the "every game" player. Jumper numbers 2 and 45 were our only two for the year. Matt Jones proved the worth of ready made midfielders; he slotted right in and looked at home from minute one without needing the "grounding" time the young guys do. There's a lot to be said for having a body that is ready from minute one. If he can add some polish to his game he'll prove to be a real bargain. As for Nathan Jones - I wouldn't expect any less from him now. Not only is he our best midfielder, but he's also easily our most durable player. He's barely missed a game since his debut. While obviously nature plays a part, it's also a testimony to his professionalism and rigorous recovery practice. Well done lads.

    If Roos is a done deal, then I hope Craig gets the Brisbane job. I too have a soft spot for the bloke and just can't see where he would fit in our club with an experienced senior coach at the helm (just being realistic). Thanks Neil. The caretaker job of a struggling club really is the epitome of being on a hiding to nothing, and I think you did well under the circumstances.

    I've forgotten 2013 already.

    Not anywhere near a good enough player to warrant pick 3.

    I've spent Nev's whole career wanting more than anything for him to light up. As an MFC supporter, to have a kid who works really hard, is tough as nails turn and made entirely of the right stuff turn out to be no good just seems cruel, but alas, that's what we've got with him sadly.

    Nothing provides a guarantee on success, but what is guaranteed is that you won't have success unless you have the best in key roles. This is but one building block in the correct place; as far as pebble goes this one was pretty easy to find and toss out of the shoe.

    On the topic of Hawks vs Sydney (I know - super tenuous link to the topic) - Matt Spangher is doing his best Jesus impersonation these days. The man has grown some serious hair and beard since last time I saw him play.

    It amused me too Choke. I guess you and I will just float along in whatever non-reality it is we live in

    Haha, who couldn't see this coming from a mile away the minute said "I'm not interested... yet"? I guess nobody, since this thread is approaching page 130.

    Look, I agree that it's hard to argue that we got amazing value out of Rodan, but this is not the time or place to pan the bloke or carry on about poor recruitment. The guy went in to battle for us and got hurt doing so, to the point where his career is over. Show some respect.

    Sue, I don't see why 55's point is so weak. It's all about intent. Freo may lose, but it's not their *intention* to lose, that is just a likely by-product of their strategy to rest players. Clearly our intention was to lose. Anyone who wants to argue the point about the MFC wanting to lose is either being disingenuous, or is just thick. In the same manner that it's not the MFC's intention to make Casey bow out of the finals in straight sets, but it will probably happen for a third year straight as a consequence of MFC's injury management decisions. Are we going to say Melbourne/Casey are tanking now?
  18. Nasher
    Freo don't care whether they win or lose. If we'd won, we'd have had to have a moment's silence and a week in mourning. It's not the same coin.

    I'm not going to pretend I have any idea of the actual fitness levels of our players. They clearly don't work hard enough during matches, but anyone attributing that to Misson's fitness program is just guessing.

    If we'd won every game and won the flag, it would still be hard to make a case that Darwin was a success. Or that it wasn't a success.

    First time I've ever seen the MFC be accused of being dumb for following good governance practice.
  22. Nasher
    The punishment seems light, but let's not forget it's only "disrepute" they've been charged with and 'convicted' for. In that regards, it makes sense that Hird's sentence is equal to Connolly's - he's been found guilty of the same crime. The outcome of the ASADA investigation, and therefore any charges of players taking substances prohibited by WADA rules, are still yet to come. For those upset about the outcome, don't forget that this hasn't fully played out yet. I'd say the worst is still yet to come.
  23. Nasher
    These things aren't mutually exclusive. How about players who take behaviour and recovery seriously *and* are okay with the kids at clinics *and* play like demons on the field? Just an idea.

    Ashley Mallett said Ashton Agar was easily the best spinner in Australia. He may be eventually, but he isn't yet. Shane Warne once said Bryce McGain was the best spinner in Australia. You might forgive me if I don't take MacGill's word as gospel.

    I do love it how if someone doesn't agree with our point of view, it must be because they're not being objective. FWIW, I don't agree with the POV you and autocol have put forward, but I appreciate the way in which it's [mostly] being argued.
