The Great One 99

I think we will have an inspirational win. The leaders like Green, Maloney, Sylvia and Davey will stand up. Jones will have a strong 100th and have everyone believing that he really is good after all. Watts will improve again and Tapscott will be one of our best. And to top it all off, Evans will play well, and we will be talking about who should remain out of our line up so that he can keep his spot. After the game, all the talk will of course be about how bad Stkilda were, and the media will be bored of Melbourne for another week. Just incase I am an absolute freak, and all of this happens; I will also add that Tom Scully agrees to a new 4 year deal, and the AFL decide that they were wrong, and reinstate Jack Trengove to play next week. Can't wait.

Ok, so here goes, aciem: "a sharp edge, cutting part" nuces: "to relinquish the nuts" Could be way off the mark. No idea about "Pone," but I think I get the general idea.

Apologies.

In no particular order: 1. McIntyre final eight system. Especially in '98 2. Ticketing for Grand finals 3. Draft picks for GC and GWS. The player poaching part 3b. The extra funds for salary that the new clubs can use. I thought that a salary cap meant that all teams had the amount. 4. Taking away Waverley. 5. Taking away the U19's and then reserves. (I still really miss the pre match reserves game) 6. Monday, Thursday, Sunday bloody evening, and every other stupid fixture attempt. 7. The decision to suspend Jack Trengove for 3 weeks 8. New sub rule. I think it's stupid. It was fine before. 8b. The way they feel the need to change the rules all the time

I googled it. If google doesn't know, then it cannot be.

"Hunt Evans"....I dont get it

If someone else plays on Milne. Then Tappy can get a better run up to take him out. There is a nice red cross on the Saints jumper for the Bull to aim at.

My positive is the anger and sometimes crap that has filled these boards in recent times. (Hear me out) In recent years during our bottoming out/rebuilding phase, it has just been expected that we will lose most games, and mostly, we did. This year has given us a bigger expectancy from the club, and we enter most, if not all games with an expectancy to win, or at least be competetive. Surely this means that we are improving. The anger and rubbish that spills over into these threads is a direct result of passionate fans that are expecting more from our great club. I think it is fantastic. Would we all rather that no-one cared?

Would be sticking with Green. No one has stood out as a better option. Maloney is my pick if it had to be done, as the OP suggests. Interesting that you have not included Sylvia.

Would love to see Blease in the side next week. And also J.Howe. Does anyone who has been watching Casey think Howe is a chance?

Thats a catch 22. They are too stupid to realise how stupid they are.

Haha,, common sense. Good one

Can only hope that this in no way effects the way we go about tackling on the weekend and forward. IMO, do not change a thing.

Does this also effect Jack in the future? If he gets another incident, is he now looked at as having a bad record?

Hello Adam. Does Tinney have any friends? Was he picked on as a child? Adam wont answer my question.

Adam McNicol: Galbally wants to get the Appeals Board to watch the DVD made by the AFL as to what is a safe tackle and what isn't. The chairman says this cannot happen because it was not shown to the tribunal on Tuesday. This is a top call. Galbally would know this,(can't be shown) but it insinuates that the tackle was fair according to AFL rules.

Newton deserves his shot. OMG.... Dejavu

Curious to hear what he thinks should happen. It could be good if we could get him to speak out. I reckon he will get it back to 2 weeks, but i'm hoping it may get back to 1. If he gets off, which i dont think will happen, I will be stoked. I am also very proud to be a MFC member right now, as I think it is great that we are having a crack and not just accepting of the penalty. Great stuff from the MFC.

Isnt he supposed to get some sort of discount as he has a clean record?

In additional news: " Trengove given another 3 weeks for punching Andrew Tinney in the face" This is just absolute crap. Who is up for torching afl house or whatever it is called.

Ian Findlay = Perry Mason I like his style B)

This is all a loud of rubbish. The tribunal have seen the video. They would of made up their minds already anyway.

Mark Macgugan: Tinney asks: 'So is your teaching to bring the opponent to the ground with as much force as possible?' O'Donnell: no, we teach them to tackle in a way that will dispossess the opponent or affect his disposal. We don't see the technique that we teach as involving undue force. Maybe Trenners should politely ask Patrick to let go of the ball.....please

I am only stating that I also agree that we stick with the youth and build for the future. I was light-heartedly adding that if it meant we win even 1 premiership, then I will take that in a heartbeat.

Whilst I also dont agree, I will happily take that option. x2
