Four of that five played last year, big holes to fill

The swans form improved after that game and they went onto play finals, ours fell away! Pre season semi final vs the Pies they took it right up to them and only lost it in the last 10 minutes. Our pre season form!! enough said! Hope I am wrong but I cannot see our mid field getting it forward enough to kick a winning score.

They have not returned yet so the jury is still out. I would agree with you that it is not an exact science So are you going with the clubs idea Scully on 28 th April and May 8th for Mckenzie? It will be interesting to see what happens!

99% agreement RR except 18 to 24points

All of what you say is correct maurie however that is different to what they tell us out here in the outer and what is the real situation. "lets not alarm the great un washed to much". When do you think Mckenzie will be back? approx. date is fine. Based on the info supplied in the last couple of days he should be playing around 7th / 8th May. What do you think? I will stick with June.

Since when were facts necessary to work out what goes on at a football club, The amounts of facts that they supply is usually what they want us to believe. I will stick with my predications, time will tell which of us is correct. I might add I will be very happy to be proved wrong

Thanks for your wisdom HT! over 4000 members from last year have not signed up yet Why is that do you think? I hope Tapscott turns it on because we sure as hell need him to have a big first game.

Crashes constantly for me after about 5 minutes. A pain at present as I constantly have to log in. Every other web site I visit is fine!

How often is the Club position the truth, Mckenzie started out as 2 weeks now it is 6 weeks and mounting. In my view he has OP with a different name, Moloney lost a year with it and it will not surprise me if the same happens to Mckenzie. Both his and Scullys injuries stop them from doing much in the way of aerobic training, so whenever they resume it will be some time before they are fit enough to resume playing at senior level. I just know from previous experience the club gives us all the positive spin when the truth is very often something different. Remember there are memberships to be sold!

If you think this is a 4 match injury you are kidding. 4 games is the club spin. even with 4 matches rest then he has to get fit as he will not be able to run in this "rest period" Start thinking June at the earliest before we see him in the seniors.

How are your rose coloured glasses today Nasher? Gysberts has played two games and is obviously still has injury issues and Tapscott no games and a handful of average performances for Casey! Truely do not expect much from either of them this side of June. In the mean time we are without three of our best middle field players from last year. My glasses are are bit more clear!

Jnr. Mac would be handy around about now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you BB59!

Unfortunately they may be right. I hope we make the eight But I am far from confident we have a lot of players with low game counts and little experience. The captains would be a better judge than me.

Sorry RR you are wrong I know this person very well. He buys based on early season results. I do not like it but that is him and I do not think he is on his own. See my earlier comment

I have no idea! I am simply making the point that a win against Hawthorn is in my view likely to increase the take up of membership at a higher rate than a loss. I maintain that view. I know the friend that I mentioned very well, I know he buys a membership based early season results. Other wise he buys at the gate for a lower number of games he attends.

Unless mine has not loaded correctly there is no "my team " section. Do not like the new one. It will not get as much use by me. Might as well go straight to the MFC site.

I think you seriously under estimate how many half committed supporters there are out there! I know three who will become a member if they think we are in for a good year, that is their normal practise. They have not purchased yet and one told me last saturday night that after poor pre season form he is waiting for the first game result. A poor showing and his money will stay in his pocket. I still believe that a win last Friday night would mean more members today.

Tell him he's dreamin!

Agree with the first part but I think Morton and Grimes are proven good players. I think the worth of selection people is how well they do at picking talent after the 30+ mark. The likes of Fizpatrick, Gawn, Spencer, Jetta, Howe, Lawerence and Bennel will show us how clever they are.

I wonder how many we would have now if we had won on friday night!

Oh Please MM it is difficult to put newton and In fact I cannot Put Goodes in the same sentence. Whatever Juice's talents are he is not a defender.

No! I doubt it will go done there often enough.

No please I promised myself I was not going to talk about that person for two weeks well 13 days!

I have just gone through our list. There is no one who even comes close to his ability. Best we can hope for is someone to fall over in front of him and obstruct the path to the ball a few times.
