I'm not sure if terry will go 1st. I think mark williams will be lucky to see the mid season break. I saw an interview with him and he has a clause written in that he must be informed 6mths before his contract is due to expire that the PA FC must advise him of their intentions for a new contract. This falls mid season. PA is in big financil trouble, there is a new board so I would suggest it is highly likely that mid season he will be told no to a new contract. That then leaves the club in a position of having a coach coaching that knows he will not be there next year. Unlikely. So prediction - Bye Bye to MW 1st and Terry will be given until the tigers are no longer a chance of making the finals.

interesting that he has not been named in the squad at all for sunday. I wonder where he will be at in 7 days time. Wonna to come back in, watts maybe soon, maric, jetta looking good, petterd looking good, robbo getting closer? Whilst it isn't the best forward line on paper we are starting to have some real competition for place which can only be a good thing. I just wonder where CS fits into the bigger and long term picture?

With grimes & wonna not in, Petterd would have to be close to our most important "young" player for sunday. He or morton need to kick 3-4 if we are any chance. Spencer in the ruck is going to be very interesting as well. Looking forward to watching all our 1st, 2nd + newish 3rd yr players!

Isn't it, they are both struggling for members at the top of their game. What happens when some leaner times come. Nth is the biggest concern it seems like as a club they are going backwards even though they have been reasonable successful in the last few years. Lets hope they can rally like we have in the darker times coming

30k by monday? I wonder how many will sign up on Sunday. If we have a couple of early wins does any one think we're a chance for 35k?

bennell has a real up and under kick and IMO ATM is a week link across half back. Pro's-gets plenty of the ball and seems to do a job. Jetta is polished and looks snr standard for mine.

I think mcgain needs more then 1 innings. A good wrist spinner is worth a lot more in england then on flat tracks in S.A.. Warne went for 0/100+ in his first test (not for 9 an over though). If Hauritz gets a game ahead of a straight pace attack or mcgain I may boycot the tour. I'm sure I have the selectors shacking in their boots!

ess with 8 games, with their fan base this is a real supprise for me. Even though they have an average side I still would have thought they would have been up in the top 3? Good stuff 8 less essendon games I have to watch!

Most seem to have pettard on the bench. After his 1st half v doggies he will start in the forward line if his hip comes up. Sylvia or Wonna(inj?) to miss in the forward line to allow jetta to debut.

the game is on before the GP, foxtel so high 30's to low 40's (38,991).

25k is a great mark to achieve before a ball is even bounced!

I would hope all players would need to "train well" to make the side these days!

You never know, there might be 1 less SA side before long! Maybe the Port Auth____ Power (P.A FC)???

I for one like foxtel showing the games. Simply if it wasn't there we would not see 1/2 as many MFC games on free to air. Being that we are the highest ranking vic side I think it tells the tail of our ratings values for prime time ATM.

I wonder if PM has anything to say now? or any proof of the "potential" sponser(s) he had lined up. Well done to the current admin/board!

my pc's are due, so instant customer(s) if its a good deal

Thats right and our form was setting the competition alight rd1-3 last year! Nth is the problem we will be lucky if 5-10k of their fans turn up. I can't understand why they are staying in vic with no supporter base. What will happen if/when they have a couple of bad years. 1st game of the year, like I said if we have less then 25-30k MFC fans turn up

rnd 1, 2 vic sides playing. We have 25k members + MCC + General tickets + Roos fans should be well above 40k. Not rnd 18 after a poor year for either club. I suspect MFC will have 25-30k there, it will be the roo boys that let us down if we are well under 40k.

14 were not sure, they would take it one game at a time and are ticking all the right boxes for now!

surely not, has to be a bit more of a suprise? lets see in an hr. Who cares so long as the $$$$'s are there

Just about on the mark i would suspect. I would have frawley ahead slightly on cheney. Wona unlikely to play IMO so sylvia or jetta to come in there otherwise pretty close to a run on side at this stage

Did I also read some where that he does a bit of work for under privlidged kids, takes them to the footy etc.

Right on the money there, but I hope we and nth for that matter turn up in our 1000's. A crowd of under 45k will be a failure in my eyes for rd 1 weather permitting. Any chance of 25k by the start of next week?

Nth in doubt with a gastric bug, Mcgain has to play. If the selectors get this wrong we are going into the ashes with no spinner with any recent test practice which IMO is madness

We had an issue like this a few years ago where by a few days before rd 1 we were yet to have the correct cards etc. No worries we met somebody at the members tent who took us through the gates and to our seats. early the following week the memberships arrived. They did everything for us that year to make sure we were in the correct seats for rd 1 cards or no cards. Good to see that they are still ensuring the members are looked after. Plus a free hat with Davey's sig on it was a welcome supprise!
