Our confidence is completely gone - makes the entire team look 3rd rate

Gawn out, Jetta in Unfortunately, Maxy was ordinary & needs to drop back to VFL Jetta into the back line (which now has plenty of our top line players) Howe to the forward line (for more pace and to snag a few goals)

2 actually. sigh ..

Farkin bullsit

They keep pulling goals out of their arrse! We need a bit of luck our way to compliment the hard work

Of Strauss, Tappy and Blease .... i'll say Strauss (form in some games last year were very promising) Of Jamar, Gawn and Spencer .... I'll say Spencer (think he's about to hit his straps) Of the new experienced recruits ... I reckon Tyson has the most room for dramatic improvement Of the young guns ... The Toump

I love your optimism ... but the latter point is unrealistic

Anyone know why Jamar is unable to train? I can't recall his injury

Interesting stuff. The concern I have is that, due to our young list, we'll be peaking at the same time as the GC & GWS. Given their concesions, early picks, & talent it will be an incredibly tough period to take the ultimate prize. Need a bit of luck and great development and we'll hopefully (eventually) get there!

Really. Watch them win a premiership in a few years time

got me

Agreed! Great asset. And that's a pretty promising forward line ...

Stunning! Would be an exciting end to the year. Hope. Wonder if Craig would be considered for (& accept) a beefed up role to include Head of Footy?

Can we delete his account, & this toxic thread?

What a rediculously stupid idea

On The Couch tonight, I think Gerard and Mike were simply taking the [censored] with Roos. He's said on various occasions that he's not interested at the moment, so no need to say it again tonight - hence the non-answer. It's great for his brand (& of the TV shows that he is involved with) to keep the rumours going. Unfort, I just don't see him getting involved.

Agree. Fire sale / assisting guys find new homes

The payment strategy is to 'front-load' our contracts to select payers as much as posssible in the building phase of our list. For example, this means a higher salary in year 1 compared to year 3. By doing this, we can pay a higher amount now to select players, and then less in times when there is greater pressure on salaries across a large number of elite players. For example, Aaron Davey was paid more in the first year of his 4 year contract, on the presumption that in year 4 of his contract there would be many others demanding a greater slice of the salary cap. By paying more the salary cap now (with front loaded contracts) we effectively get better value in later years (if the players develop and their value goes up as anticipated) Geelong did this with great effect and great results over the past few years.

No, unfortunately not. MFC's multiple revenue streams, including a large AFL payment, but also sponsorship, membership, etc, go into a fat (we all wish it was fatter!) pot of revenue, which the club needs to pay its outgoings. We can pay 100% of the salary cap if we have sufficient revenue (and sufficiently capable players), but at the end of the day, we must balance the books. The salary cap will be shaped by the AFLPA negotiations with the AFL.

Not a bad initiative. However, i think it's pretty bad timing. Why now after a disasterous few weeks. Personally, I would have waited until the dust had settled (even towards the start of next season)

What did his manager have to say? Was he indicating Sylvia was wanting to stay, or looking at all options?

Your post doesn't deserve discussion ...
