  1. There lies the big problem, you want two out but have no one to put in their place. The simple fact is that in early April we have so many injuries that the cupboard is bare. There will be minimal changes.
  2. Chicken is fairly soft and won't break the screen. However a stubbie would be devastating.
  3. 80% will not get you on the field in 2019. Still think he will struggle this year like the team in general. No team has ever come back from bottom after three games to make a GF let alone win one. Think 2020.
  4. Sadly I think that is accurate.
  5. On a good day it holds 20k, facilities ordinary and no Swans signage . And in the end the afl could not care less.
  6. I said right now! May is weeks off returning and then he has to develop. Best from him won't be till next year with a proper pre season behind him.
  7. You might be a little premature, what was that his first or second game. A talent that produces 50 goals in a season does not vanish. Right now I would swap him for May in a heart beat.
  8. Japanese Whiskies have a very good reputation RN. Don't know that one but will try and check it out on my next visit to DM.
  9. Don't you know the injury code? 3 weeks means 4-6 4-6 means we don't know but have to tell the fans something. The only truthful one is out for the season.
  10. Why picket? the same number will go to the ground and the same number will watch on TV no matter what the ground condition. That is what fills their coffers. If one game over the weekend looks poor or a player suffers a long term injury then too bad. Does not matter in the overall scheme of things.
  11. First round vs Port. They had about five top liners out! We know how that ended. WE have too many injuries, a suspect game plan under 666 and too many players with lost form. On a ground where we almost never win that is in bad shape, imagine how we will slip and slide. Think 2020 when we have a chance at the SCG.
  12. Yep RN the fact is it will not improve much over the next month. I think I need a new bottle of single malt.
  13. If you believe half the stuff talked about with May joining us then it would seem it was less than an ideal start. He is clearly injured and he will be out for some weeks. My experience at watching such things suggests to me that he will not be 100% till much later in the season if at all this year. We know he can play and for me I don't think we will see the best from him till 2020, Sad but that is the way of the world. A similar situation exists with Tmac he has clearly not recovered from his surgery over the break. IMO he will not be a 50+ goal kicking forward again till 2020.
  14. If it takes another four or five years 30% of MFC members will be in the ground me included. No loss you say and you maybe right however I would prefer him performing well soon as I would like to enjoy my last few watching years.
  15. He has played 17 games in his first three years, IMO irrespective of his age that is not a good tally for a number 9 KPF draft pick. What is clear to me is that unless we change our bomb it high into the forward line game plan he will never be successful. He is just not that sort of player. He appears to be a more lead up player and then mark a well direct kick. If we are not going to deliver the ball that way to him we might as well clear him now as he will definitely not succeed at the MFC if we continue the bomb it in method. You will not believe me but I actually feel sorry for him, whatever his talent level the MFC is crucifying him at present.
  16. That was the high spot last week bb. By Saturday morning I was into all things non football.
  17. The big difference Mr Shadow is May and TMac have proved they can preform at a high level over a number of years. May will get healthy and have a good 2020. Tmac's form will come good. It too maybe in 2020. We can forget this year for a variety of reasons not the least being long term injuries. My mind has switched to next year, 2019 is now a sorting out year. The FD will realise at some point this year that the 2018 plan is now history and it will be changed to take into account the 666 changes and hopefully we will recruit with it in mind. I feel confident about 2020.
  18. Yep buddy will kick that on his own. This is a grave yard for us like Geelong. Our high injury list will be added to by the loss of TMac ( not that he has done anything this year ). our confidence is zero and we are saddled with two who are now past it, six who have lost their way in 2019 and are playing poorly, a significant number who are vfl talents and if that is not enough we are using a game plan that is pre 666.
  19. Geelong all over again, Swans by 8.
  20. Or injured?
  21. I think sides have woken up to that, our bomb it in does not suit him. One of two things has to change, change the game plan or change the Weid IMO the two are not compatible.
  22. Me too, we have been doing this for three years now and just a few weeks ago the coach said no need to change much from 2018. If they don't change the weid will be gone.
  23. You have to be on the park Mr Leg or your contribution is as big as yours and mine.
  24. That error has been already been pointed out.
