Steven May Injury Update
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.

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!

Deeoldfart surely by this age you realise this will never happen. Injury reports are seldom truthful. The second language of the AFL is lying.

Defining Success in 2020 - Is Just Making Finals Enough?
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.

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.

Tomlinson or KK
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.

Well fd I thought I posted something funny but it has been deleted. Never mind looks like the PC police have got me.

Tomlinson or KK
Honestly has he shown anything at senior level? Rarely in the best five at Casey. If it was not for injuries in 2019 I doubt he would have a senior game to his name.

State of Origin for Bushfire Appeal
Tend to agree with you adc, when lots of money is involved largess appears. Also who is dediding where the AFL money goes? Gill! Having said that there is much to do and the need for money and lots of it is high. I guess we just have to accept that substantial amounts will not be spent wisely and be happy that the majority of money will hit the right spots. To do anything else means that no one will get the much needed funds.

Thanks for that BB now some will think I am being sarcastic but I am not, good to see you were happy with the Weid's performance today. We need him to be consistently in the best players in 2020.

Richardson Impressed
Always intrigues me why people get wound up about stories on club websites. By its very nature a club website is about promotion and positivity of the club. The stories will always be positive about the club. Can you imagine this piece written in any other fashion. If he had nothing positive to say the article would not exist. You go to club websites for factual information like entre times to games etc not warts and all stories about the club's chances or real injury information. E.G. AVB last year. His injury was never discussed, in fact I don't think the nature of his injury was ever listed.
