old dee

Back in the tanking days I hated it DV8 and I still hate it. To do anything other than to try and win every game IMO creates an atmosphere that you don't have to give your best every game. You play every game to win, now wether you have the talent/game plan/ coaching ability is another matter.

Win every game possible and worry about the draft picks come September. If it 9th so be it.

Unless there has been a dramatic change amongst the board members DJ I don't believe there is any chance the Roos will change their minds about staying in Melbourne. IMO replacing the coach is all about him having been there for nearly ten years and they are not going anywhere fast. After nearly a decade it is time for a new coach. Simple in my view.

How on earth did you guess which one DJ? Obviously an astute follower of the game.

3 out of four ain't bad DJ

Nah just coincidence!!!!!!!

I have been there mentally since the end of April DF. We can consign 2019 to the MFC bin of regularity.

Anyone who things it is not hard is not across all the probems associated with the locations mentioned around the adjoining suburbs to the MCG. The two main ones as I understand it are, there is not enough room for a large enough playing area / facilities and or the local councils are against the change in use for these mainly public space areas.

Agree dc he is like the boy with the barrow the job is in front of him. Not an easy one, he is trying to solve a problem that has existed for half a century and one that numerous administrations have failed at achieving. I think walking on water would be easier than this task.

I would have swallowed that last line 30 years ago 58er. Now it does not hold water. Having said that you are right we have choice but to wait.

How about him being in the middle of the Pies move to Olympic park? That seems a pretty good qualification to me.

Depends on wether you like bananas!

To me it seems the MFC has set themselves a very difficult objective i.e. To get a training ground close to the MCG. Once you set that as the major objective you are at the least making it difficult and at the most impossible. i am just like everyone else right now a mushroom! who knows the club might spring a Hugh surprise on us all and achieve that objective. It is extremely disappointing that the club that started the game has after half a century no home, we are the only team in the AFL in this position. Surprise me soon Mr Pert or for god sake let's move to the surburbs and give our team the best chance of success.

There lies the rub DD. " when he is fit" Who do you believe? e.g. Viney, a number of times he has said he is fit only to prove he wasn't and or made the injury worse. When there is little to be gained by rushing back I would punt on the cautious side.

AS you say IF. Even if we can beat GWS doesn't that mean we can win without him so why make absolutely sure he is fit, we have ten games after the break.

Forget him till after the break why rush it is not as thought we going the play finals so make sure he is healthy.

He knows I am sadly only an MFC member RN.

Or maybe they were just trying to avoid questions at the then AGM dc. there may be a plan b however on past form you would be excused for thinking the Yarra park plan had a far bit of mushroom factory involved.

He was dropped for poor form, played a poor game at Casey, out injured the next TWO games. They must be pulling our legs pf.

He is in the squad don't be surprised if he plays for Casey.

You have my vote NC. You have to wonder why the MFC thought they could over come these problems.

Another reason for willy.

Think it is Sunday DJ but you are correct the weather looks poor and that means it will be terrible at willy. Could be the deciding factor as poor weather at willy is like the visiting the south pole. Noticed the MFC are giving away tickets for the G match. Must be expecting a big crowd!!!!!!

So once in 54 years. I think 2020 looks a lot better year

I received an email for the MFC yesterday saying I can bring a friend for free on Sunday. They must think the numbers going are going to be low. Probably because we are playing GWS and our form is ordinary on our best days this year. No joke with this but I asked a friend if he wanted to go and he said " will you buy lunch and a few beers"? Hmm rapidly becoming an x friend.
