    He might not have Pendles’ class or Bont’s boot but he’s in the same height and strength and has plenty of penetration on his left foot. A better overhead mark than Pendles and maybe even better overhead for his age than Bont.

    Is he a great athlete - probably not. Is he the most precise with his skills no. But he racks the ball up, dominates at stoppages and creates a lot of scores.

    To me he’s the pick 1 aside from Ashcroft.

    I really liked his vfl game. Because he did find it a bit hot early. But he started to find more space and make some really good inside 50 kicks as well as show his ability to break from packs and cut through traffic.

     

    Only one of his kicks is marked inside 50. Some of those entries are truly terrible. Like dees level forward entry terrible.

    Highlights - Ripper day at moorabbin. Great weather. Great win. Daughter snagged a footy from one of the girls and loved how they are all happy for a chat post game.

    Lowlights - Poorly run venue. One bar with 2 staff and one eftpos terminal catering to 3000. No ticket office and had to buy online at the gate. Shemozzle.

    As Chris Cornell sung, "Well someone let the dogs out

    Oh yeah"

    If Clarry goes to Geelong let's hope the pastures are greener for him in the dung filled fields of Corio.

     

    But Geelong are the cats. Dogs are in Footscray.

    It is possible that Pert believes his time is up. And so to help Goodie who may be playing the good cop, if nothing comes of it, he has opened up offers and facilitated Clarrys interview with Geelong. Just a possibility.

    I have a feeling you don't know Pert very well.

    Your overlying statement is that MFC  do not care for their members.

    I resent that and if our crowds fall or membership lessens then they will have to be creative and caring to maintain this pert of the club. 

    There will always be a small number of instances where some decisions don’t favour some members. 

    But that doesn’t mean MFC don’t care. Also ring or write to the Club about it. 

    On hold for 16 minutes and counting to renew my membership..... Its gone up in $ but the service keeps getting worse.

    That's not true 

    I can assure you it is. I was an mfc future fund member, where for $150 or so I'd get a few functions a year and meet some players. That doesn't exist these days. Want to join a function? Pay $300 for one presidents lunch.....

    What are they going to call you about?

    Seriously it’s not an aged care provider.

    Sorry you feel this way but maybe they should ring and ask  why you are not attending?

    I am disappointed with our style of footy that we have slipped back playing ( totally blame Goody and the coaches for that).

    But  it’s still the Club I love and have supported for 66 years. We have still some generational players and Club Champs and I don’t think  our window is closed providing some good recruitment and game style is planned this off season plus no real stars getting injured again then we can still challenge with some of our younger players developing also. 

    Nothoughts of altering my winter plans and will be as invested as usual for the trade AFLW and preseason action. Tickets as normal and bring it on!!

    In fairness, the club felt like a family 10 years ago when we were [censored]. Everyone was accessible. Now we are just bums/dollars in seats. The club couldn't care if we ain't there next year. 

    I'm trident, and my main complaint is the mcg has replaced our bar where we can view the game with a stupid fox tv studio they use for 4 minutes a game.

    So potentially within the span of 12 months

    Brayshaw - retired

    Oliver - linked to Adelaide 

    Viney - linked to North

    Petracca - possibly requesting a trade

    What the bleep has happened to this football club?

    Brayshaw - medically retired.

    oliver - still at the club last time I checked

    viney - still at the club

    petracca - still at the club

    its almost like most of the things the media says might happen don’t happen!

    Misses this table of worst shots at goal as he has only had 15 shots at goal, but his shot rating is an absolutely woeful -1.67 (next worst is -1.29). Bont, warner and heeney have 25+ more shots on goal AS MIDFIELDERS. Stinking it up waaaaaaay more than any other player in the league. How is he still getting a game?

    recruiting him for a second rounder or trading him out for second rounder. what’s your specific issue?

    clearly he didn’t work as a fwd and clearly we already have the best ruck in the league. 

    I personally thought he was worth the risk with very limited fwd options to trade in

    Or just keep him on the list to stop a contender from having an awesome ruck? Wasn't costing us a fortune...

    Operation get Mason Wood

     

    Petty and mcadam can’t be in that forward line next week. Petty averaging 6 disposals and has kicked one goal in 6 matches. Goodwin is clueless. Ben brown is cooked. Turner ain’t a forward. A complete failure on our coaching and recruiting staff to solve a problem that has been going on for years.

    I can’t wait to read his Autobiography post footy

    He has grown so much, and i’m proud we have a club that helped him become the man he is today. 

    I love Jimmy, but Max is a better player and certainly deserves a brownlow. He has been the best ruckman without any question for 8 years. Soon to have 7 AAs. Has any ruckman ever done this??

    Did you read his premiership captain's diary book? It was terrible!

    I do love max though. Ripping bloke.

    Grill'd have very questionable ethics. Offer trainee wages and get taxpayer subsidies for it. I refuse to eat anywhere that does'nt pay their employees a fair wage, and then they still charge $17 a burger!

    No doubt!

    A but a plastic bag floating around the SCG would have had more impact last night, and would have certainly offered more physicality. 

    Its mind-blowing that bloke was pick 2.  He had 1 Hit out and 1 effective disposal last night.... In fact, in his last 20 games at AFL level he has kicked 11 goals and had 22 hit-outs TOTAL! 

    This illustrates that he is not up to it as a key fwd or a ruck. its crazy he is even on our list yet alone getting a game at AFL level. 

    I remember when we had a mantra of "drafting competitors". That's clearly gone out the window now with players like Laurie, Schache, Billings skirting around the ground doing sweet FA and refusing to cop an contact whatsoever.  

    To be fair one of those games (elim final) he got zero stats as an unused sub. Another goodwin coaching genius decision.
