We finished second last this year. Top four is a long way back, 13 places is a huge jump. If we don't play a final I would agree with you but with the holes we still have making finals will be a good result after 2019.

Big error there dpositive, you should never think of supporting the MFC as an investment. That is the road to insanity. Think of it as a charitable donation.

I agree with you Dante but I am not quite as bullish as you. I think we are a 7-8th placed talent at present. We cannot expect miracles from our draftees in 2020 and I still worry about our ability to kick winning scores against the better sides. Imo it all still hangs too much on TMac. However I think we will make the eight in 2020 probably in that spot.

How on earth did you know who I was talking about!!!!!!!!

Not sure I agree on one of those pitmaster but like all these discussions beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Logic now that is something we don't need around here Mr. Shadow.

This is the AFL we are dealing with dc. 2021 it will be 10 mins. Total Media driven, they pay the dollars and get their way in the end.

This thread must win the " hardly news" award for December.

Silly boy dc!

There is a debate going on now in amo ranks about this very thing WJ. Seems things are not as amateur as some people believe. They have a weighting system that supposedly stops the bigger clubs getting bigger but does not seem to be working.

Uni Blues I believe.

Love your confidence Fifty-5 I used to think that way all through the 70's 80's and 90's sadly the MFC have beaten that confidence out of me. A good team I will agree with but the no flag tradition will live on.

You are correct 58er. However I have chosen not to pay more / increase the complexity of going to a football game. When it is too hard ( for me) it becomes a tv game ( if it is on free to air). For years I have considered my membership as a charitable donation. Like Gorgoroth there is a year not too far away that I will become a 3 game member. And just go to games against interstate teams. Life changes and that is the way it goes.

I know exactly how you feel Gorgoroth. Sadly the MFC membership has a high ratio of older people and our problem will only increase. We need sustained success to get young people to replace us.

Sadly yes Bbo. I think the main word there is eternal dc.

More likely to swing based on the number of games we win Bbo. seriously do you really think we are any chance of getting a flag in the next decade?

Correct LDC. I don't go to any games at the G against Pies /Tigers just too hard. As the saying goes every cloud has a silver lining.

Similar to myself LH. My membership just renews automatically and will continue till my end. I go to a number of games each year depending on what else is happening on particular weekends. Beyond that I expect little from the MFC beyond the hope we will play finals. I sincerely don't expect a flag now in the years I have left.

Good question perhaps insanity has already set in.

All that may be true but as I said the trick is knowing when to cut.

I agree with your last item. The rest not so much, 190 goals between 3 players hmm ...........

The only way to think of a MFC membership is that it is a chartible donation. It is the only way to maintain your sanity. If you try to attach any value to it then you are doomed to disappointment.

I am fairly confident that Ralph would not have seen one of these guys play. Must be December when there is little to justify your existence.

Now all he has to do is stay off the injured list.

How dare you have a differing opinion Deemania.
