good call

so a loss is a loss, even if Ricky drops a mark in the goal square and we lose to the premiers?

Tapscott's worth 10,000!

people have no background in medicine or sports science, and no idea what the injury is or how it was treated and just come on here with these big statements. 'Ill-informed' would be the term

I'm with you there, it's pretty pathetic to bag a bloke who finished top10 in the B+F ten years running including a win and two runner-ups I think the 'he might hit a demon target for once' line has been trotted out about 35 times this week

that will be brilliant if it happens

that's pretty much it and then the question of who the sub is i hope it's not ricky, we would have won if he'd been on all day last week

Ange sounds like a charmer

Also, in light of our seemingly-perpetual kick-in issues, Mr.T is one who can easily clear the centre square, and if allowed to kick-to-himself and play on, he can clear the centre. If we are going to kick to a contest we might as well be 20-40 metres closer to goal

you've just posted twice with zero football content purely to antagonise if that's not flaming I don't know what is

sorry, despite the fact you are obviously baiting me while adding zero substance, i am not allowed to respond and defend myself

gee let's all have a cry about it who do you think they is, his teammates that I have heard calling for the ball, that's who

they call him 'Jimma' not 'Chip' can't wait to have him back, he is one of the few we have that you can be confident he hardly ever messes it up

I agree it would be a bad call to drop Maric.He was one of our brightest lights in the pre-season, you can just sword him after one that is totally unfair and not the way to run a developing footy side. If we were in September and it was all about fielding the best possible side then maybe

took a kick-out, played on and his kick cleared the centre circle easily, that was 2 minutes into his AFL career

interesting to note who will not be there this time Backs Colin Garland Jared Rivers Clint Bartram Half backs Joel Macdonald James Frawley Rohan Bail Centreline Tom Scully James McDonald Cameron Bruce Half forwards Jamie Bennell Jack Watts Austin Wonaeamirri Forwards Liam Jurrah Brad Green Colin Sylvia Followers Mark Jamar Lynden Dunn Aaron Davey Interchange (from) Paul Johnson Nathan Jones Jordie McKenzie Jack Trengove Emergencies Brad Miller Cale Morton Matthew Warnock

there was a brilliant outmuscle and mark right on the last line of defense, followed by a nice long pass, in those tense last moments, and of course the big bomb for goal. Everyone notices his flaws but not when he does great things like that

will be extremely interesting to see how he goes, if we lose narrowly and he plays well i might spew

Hawthorn own us. They have beaten us the last six times over 4 years, all at the G (however our last meeting was close all day until the last few minutes). TAB is paying $1.38 vs $2.90 in their favour. we might have Frawley back someone give me a reason to believe

couldn't really be happier with a debut than that, Watts has played 19 and none as good as that

get well soon Jordie

got him at 67 earlier in the year.. worth a go

no I didn't. I said people like you will defend him for 8 years, you then went on to claim you are waiting another 5 and proved my point. Clap. 'picking out problems' pft you are the typical head-in-the-sander, sorry, youre right, Tom Scully is perfect I have never seen him shank one. He is obviously a gun but if you are unable to even see any weaknesses in his game at this stage then you prove yourself to be someone who can't watch football objectively, the exact type of person I described in that post oh and I'm so glad to be reassured we will have a KPF in 5 years, you sure you don't want to give it a little longer? Just 7 years or so to settle in eh? I suppose you have some brilliant ideas about how our forward line is going to produce winning scores in this timeframe too given all the other genuine key forward options we have

thank you I have never once made any type of prediction about Watts, I have only ever commented on what I have actually seen. I don't have a plutonium powered De Lorean so I'm not going to sit here and tell others what is going to happen in the future. But I don't know where some people get their confidence from... I could sit here all night listing past MFC players who were supposed to become superstars and DIDN'T. A much shorter list would be the genuine stars we HAVE managed to produce. Most people (understandably) can't stand the thought that we may have NOT got a champion with pick 1, and that we may have a total of ZERO genuine KPFs on our list right now. No matter how he plays, these people will violently defend Watts for 8 years until he gets delisted like Brad Miller. The same thing happens if you even dare suggest Tom Scully's kicking may not yet be 100% elite. What I am honestly mooting is that perhaps this attitude, this carefree, patient permisiveness and acceptance that most call 'support' is actually detrimental to the club and inherent in our abject failure to produce elite footballers over many decades.

sorry did you just miss my post on Brad Miller? It was the counterpoint to somebody else who already mnetioned COlin Garland. Now I could type the same thing again, but instead i'll request you just read the first one 'Kids develop' not all of them obviously.
