In my current state of depression I read this as "Are you going to attend our last game?" My first thought was my god I have not heard the news the MFC is disbanding. I knew this year was crap but not this bad surely or perhaps I had been in a coma and it was Monday the 29th and we had been badly beaten by GC and decided to leave the league. But no just missed the "home " word. Yes I am going against my better judgement. I have a horrible feeling about this game. They beat Richmond a few weeks back. Where does that leave us?

and if your aunty had

Agree and who says he is leaving "the channel 10 news" Well that is straight from the horses mouth! Well some part of a horse!

So be it. It is only my opinion. he has been with the MFC for 4 years now. Next year will make 5. Is that enough do you think?

Works for me

Mate he has never had an injury free season. What gives you any reason to believe it will happen in 2012 This may seem very callous but I am over being sympathetic That only last so long. Step up or get out of the way is the message for 2012

Well said Tony Tea. For years I have been saying we constantly recruit Choir boys. Last year we picked Cook instead of Darling. Now time may show that Cook is the better player. But right now the MFC need tough large bodies. And we have precious little of them. I think we should use our draft picks this year to get these types that have 3 - 6 seasons into their careers. I admit it is easier said than done. But we have got to try.

Good point HT I was thinking this over the weekend They made a lot better job of playing Collingwood than we did. Perhaps we could recruit Voss?

Not for me but there seems to be an ellement within the MFC that see him as the chosen son or something similar. He must be a really nice guy because he has IMO been cut a lot of slack over the years.

Is everyone on agro pills this afternoon. I was just making a few suggestions on why he might not see Melbourne as desirable.

I was not suggesting he was wonderful. The suggestion by rudeboy was he had been out of the game for a long time. Unless I read it wrong

Hey BB I am not saying I am any better than you. I thought we would push for eighth spot. But it has been staring me in the face for some months now. We are a bottom 5 side

Because he has a year to run on his contract and he may think the back up at St Kilda is a long way in front of Melbourne. On top of that we may have a group of potentially good kids. But the experienced players are fairly ordinary or close to the end. Who is going to carry our side over the next couple of years?

We are in total agreement

GK are we talking about the same "Harley" He played in the Cats 2009 premiership

You will not get a argument from me HT. A lot of people seem to have missed this over the last 6 months.

I believe Lethal is on the Adelaide selection panel. So that probably makes him unavailable!

At the risk of offending you with my negativity RR I have always had doubts on Wona. How many good games has he played? From my reckoning 5 - 6, by good I mean ones that justified his selection the following week. But the biggest problem is he does not make it onto the park very often. I acknowledge he has had a bad run with injuries. But I don't know if he has the will to get himself fit enough for AFL. IMO if you cannot get onto the playing field on a regular basis Then your chances of having an AFL career are severely limited. The latest injury could not have come at a worse time for his future. How long do we keep a spot on the list for him? AT this point I would rather have Lawerence on the list. The MFC has quite a few tough decisions to make over the next 3 months and he is one of them.

Agree with you Goag. What is the use of rushing Bail back. I know you said reading between the lines Scully look fine to me physically on Sunday. His bloody poor decision making of when to hand pass annoys me

This does not surprise me if true. I was thinking this might happen once the dust settles in November.

I agree, funny bb I have not had a call fromm CC either

It is amazing that just 12 months ago he was "all Australian" and went off to play for Australia v the irish. Was made the captain of the club ( which I thought was a good move ) Now we are considering if he has a future at the club and if he will stay Or if we even want him! That must be the biggest fall from Grace of all time. I have been a critic this year but! The Poor bugger my heart goes out to him

Not sure perhaps someone to pat me on the head and tell me it is all a dream.

Hallelujah to that redleg But only if you can get past me in the Queue
