It seems like you were pumped over every player that was unlikely to be doing a lot at training yet... Joel Smith, AVB, KK, Nietschke (in the training thread) and now Bennell who I'm sure it was stated (maybe I'm wrong), was invited to train with us in December EDIT: something that is now a fact; from the MFC website, re Bennell formally accepting the club's offer to train: “Harley has undergone a new intervention into his calf issues and has committed to some lifestyle changes, and we are confident that he will bring the right attitude to attack the individual program he will be given. “We look forward to him starting training in December and working together.” I suggest lowering your expectations a tad when it comes to players who have been on the long term injury list, as I'm almost certain the fitness experts at the club will be wanting to assess them properly in a rehab environment, before letting them loose in full training on day one.

Yeah, just look at how Dustin Martin dragged the Tigers down with him and his poor culture.

Substitute “Excited” with “Dead”

Sorry McQueen, but I could only respond where the post I was quoting existed. I’ll desist now.

Why? What in any of his IG photos, is particularly worrying... or are you judging on the photo above? If you are, then I find that kind of judgemental attitude far more worrisome. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to other ways in which he has strayed from the path of righteousness? (and as much as I believe sometimes it should be, fashion sense is not a crime)

That stuff doesn't bother me. As long as he has learned his lesson re drugs and footy not mixing, I don't care who his mates are or how he dresses or the fact that he has poor taste in tats. I just look at a guy like Dustin Martin (or even Marlion Pickett) and see how he has straightened himself out and become a better footballer as well as a better person, and see no reason why Murray, who possibly(?) has a less checkered past, couldn't take the chance to prove himself. Personally, I hope we go for him.

I'm looking at his IG now, and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Is there more than one account?

What headline says that? (maybe I missed something?) Also, I would think that most clubs who have a player who made AA selection, would consider that player to be a star; so it makes sense that as he made AA as a Dee, we would consider him such. And let’s not forget he came to the club having been a star player at the Bummers. Putting injury interrupted seasons aside, Hibbo has really only had one down season, and that was this year; there’s no way I’d be writing him off just yet.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see anywhere that he suggested doing that?

I think CJK is saying that GWS can cough up their pick 6 if they want to get Green.

Hey, I’m responding to the fact that you said, and I quote: “Deludio plays Tomlinson doesn't.”, which is patently incorrect.

Yet Deledio played 7 games this year and Tomlinson played in every game.

Are you seriously saying that injuries kept him in their fielded team (aka best 22), for 3 years on the trot?

Goodwin’s 2018 Dees won their first two finals. Fagan’s 2019 Lions lost their only two finals. Who knows what Fagan’s 2020 will be like? I’d say that at this point in time they’re probably level pegging.

We need a pinned thread on coping with grief ?

Injury prone, yes... overrated?? Definitely not!!

Just like Ebola, MFCSS has started to flare up again. Is it a bridge too far to think that perhaps these players may have expressed a preference (behind closed doors) to get to the Dees if theirown clubs won’t come to the party?

So far you have us landing several players while retaining our pick 3 for use in the draft. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but in the meantime, and unless you can prove your credentials as an 8 post newcomer, then I’m calling BS of the highest order.

I’d say he was a very young child when his father left, judging by this from the article in The Age: “Toby's mother, Kate, released a statement to the Seven Network, saying: "Toby is estranged from his father. His father has battled mental health issues and has had nothing to do with this family for over 20 years".”

Haven’t heard anything, but Brad Green would be my preferred goal kicking coach. He was as close to the perfect kick for goal that this club has had.

I thought he looked like a drinks waiter

Yep, Houli and Edwards led the second half resurgence; some moments of true brilliance.

Are selectors ‘curating’ the team?

Really impressed with Houli after seeing him interviewed by Daisy.
