You said Petracca,s return. I was merely pointing out he has not started yet. No. Yes and Yes

I wrote this in another thread. Article in todays HUN about Melbourne trying to recruit Tom Lynch. Further in it says Melbourne is adamant it will not over pay Howe. List Chief Todd Viney said the club " cannot be foolish about how we spend our money" "we need to be really disciplined the way we manage our list , so Jeremy is an important player for us, but within the constraints of the model we have got " Viney said. " We will pay him what we think he is worth and hopefully he is going to be happy with that along with ( how) all the Geelong and Hawthorn players have done". If there was any doubt Howe will not be at the MFC next year that settles it for me. I read between the lines that Howe wants more than the MFC thinks he is worth. Big signal to the fans IMO from Viney and the club.

I am not having a go at you P-man. I have read numerous comments about Petracca this year. He has not played a single game yet at senior level be that VFL or AFL. The signs look good but there is not guarantee he will be a star player. Can we just wait and see before proclaiming him the greatest thing since slice bread.

h_h I just had a serious accident after reading no. 4

I want to be a one club player.

Not for me Chris you have to be playing to be blamed. Just serving out his time. Ancient history sadly

I am actually astounded no one has blamed JW!

I may be incorrect but I think so

This is the classic Chicken and Egg. Do you think if we could suddenly swap all the MFC supporters to Hawthorn and vice versa that the MFC side would start winning most of their games? I

Hell No! it ain't us that runs out each week. And can you tell me what is wrong with Point 6 please?

I would suggest the last part is " because I have already decided to leave

Thank god I was beginning to think I had missed something.

I think that applies to a small minority rpfc. I don't think ( I hope not ) that you are suggesting that line belongs to the majority of supporters and defines the club. Or are you?

Not sure what you are trying to tell me Spirit? Are you telling me I should accept the status quo or complain loudly about our current situation?

He was known by his men as "Old Blood and Guts" Our blood and his guts.

I would be happy if some of them were at 30 dc

What percentage do I use on 51 years mongrel?

Let go of it!

Their belief system is correct. They ain't

Wow deanox that is a cold shower if ever I have seen one. Realistic though. I have been saying for sometime it is going to take some years before we will play finals and your comments above confirm my thoughts. Perhaps it would be better if I lived off shore for a couple of years and came back in 2018 we will have solved the problem one way or the other by then. Either a much better playing group or out backwards.

Sad, cynical and even more sad, accurate jnr

They could probably play it in Bali both lots of players are already there mentally.

Don't think there will be a shortage Gorgoroth.

Honestly Lloyd was a very good player but as a commentator he is way down the pack. If he told me it was night time I would go outside and check.
