We have a decent record against them in finals overall I believe, 2023 being the anomaly. Knocking them out in 88 and 89 were some of my sweetest footy memories as a kid.

Beat me to the punch, was about to write the same thing. Conversely they've only beaten us once, in 1958 🤬

The issue is not my ability to comprehend, it's your inability to hear anything critical about the club. You expressed shock at why we are considered a mess off field, I gave you a raft of reasons. Instead of considering that perhaps the club isn't being run as well as it should be and it's not actually some widespread conspiracy to disparage the MFC you put your fingers in your ears and try to browbeat anyone who provides a response. So who is being daft? 🙄

Keep living in denial mate, problems don't disappear just because you want them to. You want the club to be a success stop tolerating garbage and excusing poor behaviour/performance.

Board leaks, leadership issues, cultural issues, infighting with former staff/board members, public spats with prospective board members, interim President, interim CEO, no home base... That's a start.

How come Peter Jackson made it is his first point of call to ensure information stopped leaking out of the club? Stop making excuses for the club, it doesn't help.

Dannie Seow is on the list, don't ask me why I remember must be the uncommon name http://demonwiki.org/Dannie+Seow

We still have Brayshaw's salary or part thereof for the next 2-3 years? Oliver's contract is apparently backended. Not sure on Petracca. Viney signed for another 3 years. I'm sure overall our cap is ok but it feels like we don't have much wriggle room without freeing up one of those contracts especially with Brayshaw's salary to consider.

Windsors pace was good but his disposal/decision making was shocking. Hopefully gains composure with experience. Was great seeing Bowey forward, I've been wanting one of him, Salem or McVee across half forward for 2 years. We need some clean entries inside 50 and he offered it. Adams was good early but got found out as the game wore on. Went to ground too often and too easily pushed out of contests. Viney was Viney, all heart but an absolute butcher of the ball.

Would also make his position untenable if he went for it and wasn't successful, perhaps he's hoping to stay on as an assistant?

I thought the season was done after round 2. I thought Goodwin was done after round 5. That loss to the Bombers in Adelaide was unforgiveable.

Buckley Voss and Hird were clearly the best midfielders of the late 90s/early 00s

Season was over once we lost to North by 10 goals in round 2. The next few games just sealed the deal.

Yes that's another option

And even after he realised he still found it difficult to part with his favourites. This year should've been about getting midfield minutes into Rivers, Windsor, Langford even McVee one the season was done but Viney, Oliver and Petracca kept dominating midfield minutes. Petracca I can cop, one of Oliver or Viney as well but not both.

Keeping his powder dry for when Carlton inevitably sack Voss midway through next season.

2016 wasn't so much mental fragility as being ribbed by the umps for the fairytale Dogs win.

Would also be worth it for some inside intel on Pies players that may see us stop being their bunnies. Next Kings Bday game would be huge.

We did that once before and chose Bailey over Sheedy.

Nah I'm sure they all live in Cranbourne and Berwick 🤦

My hatred of the AFL is outweighing my love for the MFC. This league is a joke, who can stay invested in a comp so obviously corrupt?

Most footy players seem to live around the inner east, inner north, bayside suburbs or Ascot Vale area.

I've no idea what you're trying to say. It clearly is an issue.

But what if you could also get a mill a year and not have to drive to Casey and back a few times a week?

Probably but the post I was replying to mentioned housing the Admin at Waverley too
