Demon Disciple

I think it's more to do with the fact that we were born out of the MCC. We are not tied to any one suburb like all other clubs, we are effectively the MCGFC. But i agree, if we aren't able to train on it, there's little point besides the romanticism to keep us within a stones throw of the G.

They may or may not. Either way, it won't be because Kozzie (a 1 game veteran) isn't playing.

Small sample, but as the game wore on the lethargy was really apparent. Here's hoping DB has our boys still in good knick.

One things for sure, i'd take Watts over Weideman everyday of the week.

Totally agree @Sir Why You Little. He needs to want the ball and then bloody demand it. He ain't gonna clash with anyone else in our forward line at the moment (Petracca aside). Sought of like trying to kick a goal after the siren to win the game, some want the responsibility & others don't want a bar of it. I fear Weids is in the latter group and needs to adjust his mentality pronto.

Jeez i hope that is not the attitude held within the MFC. Sure we're not going to get any bums on seats for the short-term, but wins will do wonders for signing up members, if not this year then definitely next. We are in no way a powerhouse club, more like a shack in a shanty town. Wins + winning = the most important aspect for MFC's short, medium & long term outlook.

Those launches at the ball during the 2018 finals series seem so long ago now. He needs to get angry and throw his weight around. We've all seen what a presence he can be. He's gone so far backwards like the rest of the team (or did we play that far above ourselves for those 4 games from WCE-SF?)

For all we know, Richo could be saying that Goody has gone up a notch in his book. Putting him at notch one.

You make a good point RG. I'm not 100% up to date on the benefits of compression apparel, but is there a rule preventing HB from playing games in them? If that constant pressure applied to the calves even helps out 1%, why not wear them in games?

Unfortunately for everyone involved at the MFC (even the fairweather members), this have proven to be all too hard on too many occasions.

I think free fallin would be more apt D_s

Dominance in time of prosperity is one thing, dominance in times of extreme hardship is something else. Robbie the greatest demon for me.

pets don't live as long as humans KoD ?

If it takes that long so be it. 2000 doesn't seem that long ago.

Hoping his dedication to getting serious about his football rubs off on a lot of the playing group.

Trac has always been ripped. The problem in the past has been that he has been carrying too much muscle. He's never had a fat issue.

Going by the contracts thread, there are 17 players OOC. I'd have Fritsch as the third most important to sign behind Trac and Vines. He ain't going anywhere. But nice try Ralph you muppet.

from what i remember, John was a 2 fingers type of guy. Toby's not mucking about and gone with the 4. Poor Harmesy.

I would temper your astonishment DD. Having seen him in person recently, he is still quite rakish and skinny. Sure he's toned with little to no puppy fat (which enhances the illusion of size), but he's got a fair ways to go yet in having a body ready for AFL.

We should have exclusive rights to the indoor hall, 13th. Anything that is built for us as a training facility should be ours and only ours (from a professional organisation perspective). Happy for it to also be used as a community facility, except for all those [censored] NIMBYS (they'd be the first to want to access it too i reckon)

At the worst of gridlock times on the Monash carpark, you're getting closer to 1.5 hours Cards. It truly is a [censored] road. There are way too many on-ramps, imo.

That pompous fool has a very selective memory.

I 100% agree with you @58er. Nothing is given only earned. In order to earn a premiership, a club must properly prepare itself by providing all employees with the proper facilities (for which we have severely lacked for decades). If land near the G cannot provide for this, then it would be foolish to insufficiently cram it all in. Do it once. Do it right.

Good luck trying to convince the current board, who appear to be transfixed on being within the MCG precinct. I don't quite understand the stubborn fascination with the G. What has it done for us in the past 56 years? One thing it hasn't is given us a flag.

Agree with what you said @Half forward flank. If it is a bit of an issue, just get the player's to be sponsored by a jaguar dealership. A new $150k Jaguar in their driveways will probably keep em quiet ?.
