No offence LB, but if I hear that phrase one more time I'm going to spew up. 

It's a dumb, nothing phrase that comes from a lack of nuance.

'Drain the swamp' is the other one, thanks to Donald.

Apologies MS, I was at work and in a hurry.  I'll try to be better nuanced in the future

However if you're comparing me to the Donald then I will definitely be taking offence.

I was disappointed with Jones after the Round 1 loss. Someone asked him if they would do some soul searching given the nature of the loss. His response was "it's one game, $#! + happens." I thought that was a very poor attitude and this season has shown that the fish rots from the head. 

This would be a diabolical decision by our club. This bloke is one poor landing away from having a career ending knee injury. This is one of the main reasons he wasn't drafted until he was 21 and until pick 47 in that draft. 

Also as some have mentioned already in this thread, better delivery into the forward line would need to be looked at before we go hunting for more key forwards for our midfield to miss. 

I'm not too fussed where we set up shop to be honest, but I think the key is to get it right, make sure it can be our home for 20-30 years and also get it done ASAP. We have been dealing with this dumb issue for far too long and too many boards and CEOs haven't gotten it done but they have done a lot of talking about it. The time for talking is over (much like the on field aspect).

I thought AAMI Park was supposed to be the answer when we moved in there but alas it was just anothrr temporary solution. 

I'm not sure if anyone on this website listens to the Deebrief podcast but this week just gone they interviewed Fritsch and he named Spargo as one of the best leaders at the club. So that may go some way as to explaining why he is still in the team. 

I didn't watch the second half so no blame on Oscar for the loss from me. 

However one thing he continues to do, which he did last year and still does this year, is spoil to the corridor. If you're going to spoil you should be spoiling to the boundary line or over the goal line. O Mac still hasn't learnt this and constantly send the ball back into the run of play or worse still to the top of the goal square.

Anyone who has been to Manuka give me an idea of how the Hill stand Geneal admin fills up ? Just wondering what time I'll have to get there to get a decent seat... Assuming it shouldn't be too early!

@JV7 Sorry to say but Hill GA is grass, no seats unless it has changed since I was last there earlier this year.

15 game membership yes and only for entry, none of the other benefits apply.

Looks very American sports inspired to me, which i personally dont like, but I can understand how they'd think it was a good idea.

$50 paid yesterday, DN122939.

Bump my $20 up to $50 too.

I'm in for a $20.

Frawley and Maric get a yes but aren't in your team.

Also i'm not sure how you can give Watts an N/A but still put him in the team while Blease and Strauss get N/A's but don't get in? I'd have those two locked in for our next premiership side.

Jimmy, can we bocott the AFL if they dont give the MFC decent game times!

What ever happened to a Saturday afternoons?

There's a Saturday afternoon too?

From Mount Gravatt, so some kid Bails has been hiding up there?

No stats at all on the AFL draft tracker, not even height or weight.

Can play anywhere on the ground and has the body to play next year, while Watts will still be skinny.

I'd go with Naitanui, if we don't get Warnock he can ruck, if we do he can play a key position.

I'd suggest a modest profit's on the way!

I'd be happy with a 1 dollar profit

I worry about speed more than endurance to keep with Harvey. So Bruce is out and I don't know if Dunn is quick enough either. Bartram is quick enough so maybe use him. Bell is also a good idea High Tower, definitely has the quickness.

What about Davey?

When's he out of contract?

Pavlich is the same age as Brown, and is from SA, so he would be an unlikely target IMO.

Do you mean Jace Bode instead of Matthew Bode?

Kicked something like 1.6 at Sandy this weekend, so maybe the Dutchy style player is exactly what they're molding him for.

I doubt Kennett would go, good stuff Jimmy.

Are you kidding? The bloke is a disgrace to the game of AFL. He can ruck but then butchers the ball when he gets it.

At worst he was even with Charman, some might argue he was better. His kick was a shocker but other than that he had a good game. Even with horrible disposal the 3 word summary is still spot on. His disposal efficiency was better than McLean, Jones, Wonna, CJ, Bode and Valenti, more than a quarter of the team.

MCC predicted 20k. Good to be ahead of both their and the club's predictions.

Black's disposal efficiency was only 52.17%. He also had 7 clangers. These stats show good pressure from Dunn, which means that 23 Black possessions is not as good as it sounds.
