Hire a shrink, in the last five games we've led at three quarter time we've then kicked 5.23 in the last quarter and lost four times.

If that was true (and if Dwayne says it I can't help but be suspicious) they'd already have to split loyalties between Hobart and Launceston, surely they won't want to confuse the issue even more with a third faction of fans. Not a great time to be - or about to be - a broke Victorian club that relies on handouts and selling games interstate.

It's just the general meeting that clubs getting handouts from the AFL have to attend. Nothing dramatic except the fact that we were already a charity case before this year. Probably come out of it as the Gold Coast Demons.

His kicking is a liability? Maybe at goal but he's a better field kick than half our side.

Cut out the middle man and get Choco as the mentor. At least we'll die laughing.

Carlton being pulverised 15 years ago.

Well that makes me feel better.

Yes. The club is more important than the players, coaches or administrators.

Is this a ploy to get god on our side?

He also didn't give a rat's when Tom McDonald kicked the miracle goal at Subi so surely just 100% pure Stone Cold.

Hopefully he survives until Round 1 next year because he was massive when out there this year.

I agree, if you can catch him on one of the rare days where he's not injured.

We'll always remember him coaching us to an AFLX flag

In 1884 the MCG grandstand that housed our goalposts burnt down. I believe the trauma is still being felt.

Based on our record do you have the remotest faith we would have picked them?

The universe would do something nice for us for a change if we lost pick 2 via either our own hand or the AFL and pick 3 turned out to be the much better player. You know, like the time we tanked our hearts out to get pick 2.

Of course they'll lobby against it. And the AFL will pretend to be interested before doing whatever they want. We have zero influence so hopefully Adelaide hit the roof. The thing about Gold Coast is that they're no good, but they're a hell of a lot better than we were in 2013 (+1 win, +13%). The difference is the league is desperate to get them up and going so they'll treat them like the worst side in history and give them everything they want. They're also kicking a goal a game more than than us in 2014. What about giving them an extra pick after all the non-finals teams? I'm saying this out of self-interest but they've got to get something out of picks 1 and 11 and it's not disadvantaging the other pox teams in the competition.

How many second last sides have been relevant with three games to play? Caro still upset that her cheerleading for the AFL to nuke us after the Tankquiry failed.

Does he have psychic abilities to know where a ball is going to land when blindly hoofed out towards 50 by a midfielder not looking where he's kicking? Good player but in an era where the best full forwards kick 70 goals I'd rather try to broaden the mix instead of putting all the eggs in one basket. Would be nice to have somebody in a silly number though.

If the decision was made and Senior tried to intervene it would be the last gasp of the 2011 era boys club. Can't see it happening.

If that's the answer I'm terrified of the question. Meanwhile it's good to see King finally coming around to the MFC supporting experience two years after his famous "Melbourne fans, stop worrying, what could go wrong?" article.

If Gawn (god forbid) goes down for 3 months yes - although we covered that reasonably well a couple of years ago without a real second ruckman. If we're clear that he's a break in case of emergency ruckman who might play two games a year if Gawn is fit then I can handle it, but can also see benefit in a forward who can have an impact rucking F50 stoppages.

That's my point, don't ruck him for the rest of the year. Play him at full forward, kick it at him, and if he's not good enough to make something of it in the VFL then we'll know he's not going to do it in the AFL without further work.

If Gawn is upright the tank is irrelevant. Can't hurt getting fitter, but needs to develop his forward play.

Can't understand the point of playing Preuss as a tap ruckman against no competition when we know he can do that. It's holding marks in the forward line and kicking goals that will make him useful while Max is around. We run Casey now, let's use them to our advantage.
