old dee

We need him six months ago pitmaster. He is standing on the wharf but the ship has sailed and sunk.

Well Wrecker very true but you have dated yourself. I thought only ancient ones like me remember that one

Only big changes in the FD will achieve that frankie_d. We are a club who has not had a CEO for almost 12 months and a stand in President while we wait for a retired guy to enjoy retirement for 6 months. I am not convince Smith wanted the job but had to be talked into it. The road ahead looks very bleak. Getting beaten on Saturday may not be the worst thing that could happen to us. The worst might actually be to win and maintain the status quo.

Fixed that for you Dt.

After Sunday nothing is impossible after losing the unloseable JNM. How often do we smash teams? In the last few weeks it took us 3 quarters to shake off North who then get pulverized by the Cats. Watching the players after the pies loss, then the first saints loss then Sunday I think they have checked out for 2025. They don't show any signs of frustration just hang dog looks.

I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you fell out of bed poita!

That gets us to above 5 goals closer to the weagles.

Your attendance just ensured a 4 figure result roy11. 900 eagles and 100 Dees.

My Granddaughter is playing basketball near that time, you can bet the bank of England on where I will be and it won't be anywhere near comic park.

You have my vote

Today there was a board meeting at the mfc. I suspect that before yesterday Goodwin and the vast majority of the team were set to continue in 2026. 24 hours can be a long time in the world of football. I believe we will see Goodwin exit at years end and a couple of our big names traded this trade season. We need the introduction of some quality players who don't go missing when it gets hot. You get these players by trading quality. Watch this space in September when cull begins.

Yesterday's team played with way more desire. Swap them at least they will give it 4 quarters of effort.

Play the Casey side from yesterday. We would lose but the senior side might understand the level of their failure.

Amen to that, Spargo is not a senior level talent.

After days like yesterday I decided some time ago to just stay quiet. My father many years ago told me never act when you are angry. You always make the wrong decision or say something you will later regret. So here I am 24 hours after the worst result I have ever witnessed by the MFC. I have watched numerous games when we had a poor playing group when the game was over at quarter time. Over half a century I have seen a lot of poor games by this club. I have never seen anything like yesterday. 7 goals 3 ahead at 3/4 time and then lose. This team is not without talent as the 3/4 time score line showed. The complete abdecation by the playing group and coaches in that last quarter has never been seen before in the league, it is a record. I am devastated in all those [censored] decades this a new low. I am abanding the MFC senior side for the next month. On Saturday my grand daughters basketball team with only 5 players due to sickness played their hearts out to lose by 2 points. They fought to the end with no rest. Pity I cannot show our weak minded players what determination achieves.

He played in a pretty good team at the Lions and was similar to senior games with us. Sadly he is a NQR.

KC he has played numerous games for the Lions and they let him go. He has had a number of senior games this year. He is a VFL standard player nothing more nothing less.

This is his 3rd season, from my memory he had an uninterrupted preseason. He simply isn't a Senior level player. Nothing can be judged about his form today. He is playing against poor backs at VFL level.

That covers it sns.

Agree on Kolt, however Jefferson will need to show more against better vfl teams before I am convinced.

This shows my age I have never heard of either!

I hope you are 100% correct NC. It's a shame Kentfield had such a poor preseason, he wasn't just injured he had a very serious lung infection which keep him from any training for at least 6 weeks. I don't think Petracca has Yet got over his horrendous injury 13 months ago. On a number of occasions this year he has seemed hesitant. The second half on Sunday was the best 2 quarters I have seen from him this year. Sadly at present his kicking has been poor, no idea why. Before the season started I wonder how well he would be this year. Most players take a while to recover from big injuries even if they look physically fit. Here's hoping for a much better 2026. I hope so I am running out of years.

Very good points bluey. Particularly Brayshaw!

There is only one stat that matters, its the one when the games final siren blows. That stat places us 13th on the ladder with 6 wins and a low percentage. The rest is for the stat devotees!

Spot on DJ! unless injury intervenes IMO we have 2026 to find a replacement. Have a look at how fit and lean he is, deserves another year contract.
