Demon Disciple

It will be just our luck that he nails every [censored] pick

I don't know, the AFL's current disdain for Hird would probably see his number being taken (Hird's that is)!

The excitement and anticipation towards the end of pre-season gets to us all

before

Why?.........................To rule them out as potential sponsors

As WJ has alluded to, MFC's previous experiences with so called "saviours" has hardly been fruitful. Poor old Jim tried to be, but to the detriment of his well-being. Gutnick came along and headed the anti-merger group, but if it wasn't for the Dorks and their supporters' voting against it, it would have happened. The closest we've had to a saviour in recent times is by far and away PJ, whilst Roos also got us back on track. But both have made a considerable effort to not be seen as "saviours". It's more that they are/were one piece of the jigsaw, to get things going in the right direction and that it takes more than one person to keep a football club on the straight and narrow. One thing is for sure though, i'm extremely pleased that we have PJ locked in until at least the end of 2018.

Ross Lyon picks his best 22, doesn't vary it too much, but gets the most out of them. The problem is, those outside the 22 simply don't improve under a RL coaching regime. He is not very good at managing the entire playing group. He is the antithesis of a list manager.

Ever since Saty alluded to you taking a lot of snaps, i've been hanging out for these!

Also, how do you see Mitch King developing when compared to Max King (ACL aside)?

What was the Bentleigh Club valued at???

Michelle Cowan is probably one big reason

40,000 will be broken this coming year. If we get off to a good start, we'll give 45,000 a serious shake too

What amazes me is that Max hasn't even turned 25 yet

i've always thought that a player running sub-10 minute 3km TT's is doing very well.

Why would they do that? They've got their saviour in Prestia. He'll solve all their problems!

The Tigs may rise slightly up the ladder this year and next, but will plummet back down near the bottom for an extended period, because outside of Rance, Reiwoldt and Martin their list falls away terribly. Prestia is an unknown, but his injuries won't allow him to get back to where he was prior to them, Cotchin is a shadow of his former self, and the coach and FD (not to mention the board) clearly overrates their list.

Yep, i still plan on listening to it via radio, but it will be a snooze-fest. And about bloody time too. I hate it that the most enjoyable part of the footy for the last 9 years has been in late November.

Tongue in cheek John. Conor McGregor is as tough as he is nuts.

Nah, too soft

Yes, which team will be the first to utter "we could not believe he was available at our pick" this year? My money is on the Dons with Hugh McCluggage!

We'd be lucky if he slipped down that far, imo.

How do you see him progressing, when compared to Max King after his first year at the club?

Agree. The club need to make a statement both to him and the rest of the playing group that such actions will not be tolerated. I'd be looking at handing him a 4 week suspension from round 1 (with the rest of his pre-season to determine is he is able to reduce it to only 2 weeks).

Maybe he doesn't need another pair to run in, but put on his mantlepiece and look at in awe

And that all relates to MFC how?
