Good question BAMF, I hope he does as well as some are suggesting because we sure need a decent Forward to help take the pressure of TMac.
-
I am assuming it will be televised. On that basis I would not be going so have little interest. As I understand it will be at the dome. How that fits with things already booked there I have no idea.
-
I actually think we can win the first game. Every player comes to the end pd. I think Jones was close in 2019. 2020 might be a bridge too far.
-
Sounds like it is run by Myki DC. I have two auto debit s and this one of them.
-
Do we care Steve?
-
You can have mine DC.

Needs a big 2020 Damo because his first year was crap!
-
Pattern forming.

May worries me binman, i get a feeling that we have bought a pup. He cost a lot and so far not a lot of return. Are we trying to make him into a different player that does not have the body for it? He should be one of the anchors of our backline and we need him to be if we are to improve this season.
-
Injuries to Jones at this point don't concern me anywhere near as much in 2020. The guy is very close to his last season and based on last year he will struggle to be a regular. We will need to get on without him at best from 2021 it just may come a little earlier due to injury. Not having him in round 1 will make little difference to the result in WA.
-
Same thing I would have thought LDC.
-
My gut tells me not to expect much from May. Looks like the classic " we bought a crock"
-
Perhaps we should have traded him to the Hawks and kept Frost!
-
Zones did affect interstate recruiting. IMO the club that did the best out of zones was Carlton. They got a beauty in Bendigo. Anyway here we are in 2020 as always hoping a new season will be different.
-
Deeoldfart surely by this age you realise this will never happen. Injury reports are seldom truthful. The second language of the AFL is lying.

I maintain that the MFC took decades to escape the success is the 50's. Back then players flocked to join the MFC because we were successful and were the establishment team. However during the sixties the competition started to go professional and the MFC believe that players would still want to come to the MFC simply because we were Melbourne and played at the G. Norm Smith tried to tell the club things were changing but they could not see it. We stayed stuck in this mind set for decades and the rest is history. IMO we have only really got with it in the last 7-8 years. We still have no home. I place the blame on decades of "conservative" management.

Agree Macca as members there is nothing more we can do. However it raises a question, after 56 years of dismal results it would appear a group is letting the club down rather severely. Who are they?

He is 13 foot tall?

Start worrying if he does not turn up today!
-
That may well be true rjay but for most of his games last year he played as an average backman. Then when he was switched to the forward line it is only human nature for players to think "I have an easier opponent today" That will not happen this season. I will be very happy if he kicks 45 goals but that is not achieved by many players in the game these days.
-
Then you have some sad days ahead.
-
One reason. He probably caught a few defences out in 2019. They will be right on to him this year.
-
40 - 50! I would have thought 25 might be more realistic total 58r.
-
He is now in his third year jnr and so far he has not shown much. Admittedly he has been injured a bit and is again this year. Another year spent mainly on the sidelines will not serve him well. IMO he is an average talent with injury problems. Those types usually don't have long careers at AFL level.
