I don't come on much other than match days and a day or two during the week because of the foam that constantly spews out on these boards. If it's not outlandish sweeping negative statements about how [censored] we are, it's people who whinge about negative behaviour on here before it's even happened which is just as negative. 

You want to go back to the times of just chatting footy? Find a few mates and text them regularly, that's what I've been doing. It's better than running the open gauntlet of garbage here day after day like a soap opera.

Not sure why you continue.

This thread is like 'barley', or parliament with its privilege, isn't it, layze; you can safely say stuff that would elsewhere be roundly slinged and arrowed! 😄

That's because this thread has knowledge and experience. The great unwashed don't come on here.

Not that it would happen, but it would be funny to replace a coach accused of wasting a golden era with another coach accused of wasting a golden era. 

Goodwin is going nowhere. He will be with us till the end of his contract.

yeah soft as

Trac just played on with broken ribs and ruptured spleen

not physically or mentally soft, our Trac. He is just able to differentiate during game with pre or post game 

Its a mental thing. In your wildest dreams could you imagine a Pies player doing the same thing? The pies just wanted to win more than us it was obvious to everyone.

Wait who did that?  I did not see that, thankfully, I would have threw up on the spot.

Whether we need a new coach or coaching team.   We definitely need more mongrel. 
 

far too soft. You should never share a joke with someone who has DELIBERATELY ended a mates career. 

When you see a player shake hands with a thug who ended one of your team mates career you know we are as soft as butter.

No change

Probably because with the exception of 3 players the rest are just VFL standard.

Of course he would say that dc.

We can. Did I say we can't?

My view is he's unlikely do any better than Petty or Turner.

I was not suggesting you did.  let's find out. At least he would be playing in his rightful position. This year is a bust let's play some of these guys and find out if they are keepers or not.

It is a pattern isn't it? Take out one of our best five players in the first quarter so we play one man down for the entire game. We really do have to go after them hard after this.

That's not the way we fly. E.G Petracca shaking hands with the thug before the game started.

Not only that, Pies and Blues fans are obsessed with the MFC. We live rent free in their heads.

There is something in there?

I don’t suffer fools old dee, they don’t warrant my time or response. Hope you’re going well and not to disheartened by the current situation we find ourselves in.

I have my health, a roof over my head, a wonderful wife, sons who are turning into fine young men and the family overall are in a good place.

On the footy side of things, what can I say, us older folk have seen this all before, whilst the MFC are currently struggling, it’s not all bad, I have a role that I love and keeps me busy, I occasionally get to watch my boys play and still regularly get to go to the Ammo’s to share good times, talk about old stories and a few beers with good friends. In a nutshell as bad as things may seem there are always positives.

Keep the faith and enjoy your time with family and if you’re still getting along to the Ammo’s smile and enjoy 

Sadly I don't get to the ammos these days. My eldest grand daughter is into basketball so we go to that every Saturday. The be honest I enjoy that much more than the MFC these days. If it wasn't for the Dees I would have no interest in AFL.

Why do you and others bother trying to reason with this [censored]. he’s an absolute embarrassment to himself and his game day posting coupled with his ideas of what he would do if he was the coach highlight how out of touch he is.

I am not over the moon about the current status and way we’re playing but to kick us while we’re down and continually trying to rewrite recent history is not the way to go about getting out of the current slump we’re in.

Thank god people like this are miles away from making any meaningful decisions around the club

 

Sorry PSD can you be a little more direct? I am not sure what you mean.

I'd like to see Woewodin into the starting 22 for a full game, and for a few weeks straight.

I do not need to see Laurie or Billings in the side, probably not for a while for either of them.

I'm inclined to keep TMac back, particularly with Lever still out, as I don't think it's anywhere near guaranteed that his 2024 defensive form means he can play forward. We probably have no choice but to persist with Petty and Turner, despite my personal view that we've been sucked far too far into the idea of them as forwards off the back of 1-2 decent games early on from each of them. I'm not sure Brown or Fullarton can do any better.

Why can't we try Fullarton?

Great news, Melbourne have announced Schache is available 

You have made my day.

No to Fullarton from me, just don't see what he brings. Has AMW shown enough? I'm still leaning to Lever for Petracca and maybe Taj as the only changes. These guys need to stand up and North will be no easy beats. Lose this week and it'll be  a [censored] around here. God last year disappoints me more and more by the week, 2 Flags would have been so much better than 1.

 

Then why did we bring Fullarton to the club? We are desperately short of KPF's. He plays a very good game at Casey. The senior team is desperate for a forward who can help out in ruck Seems the perfect candidate to me.

We have been screwed over far too many times, I hope the entitled blogs get the message loud and clear.

Could the negative press about Petracca be the reason for the no show?

We created that ourselves.

INCORRECT, we are the oldest professional football club in the world.

168 years old.

And we'll be around for another 168 years - long after we are all forgotten.

A proud club, with a proud history, with players who have given their all, even in the many barren years. 

A proud club that deserves respect- least of all from supposed supporters.

 I've had it up to here with posters on this forum taking every opportunity to slag off the mighty dees.

My eye sight is not as good as it used to be binman where is "up to here" just a small joke . I understand your annoyance but in all honesty the MFC means very little in the scheme of things to non diehards. In the general football community we are small potatoes.

verral to get a game at the back end of the season if form maintains. 

I have seen nothing to suggest he is AFL ready. From the games I have seen where he displayed good form was against a seriously  depleted pies team. I am much more interested in seeing Fullarton get a game.
