old dee

No I did not. I told him to ring me back when we had won six games. He said he was making a note to do that.

admit it you are just playing with words.

That is not what I was about here PSD. Redleg simple made the comment on why did the media pick us out with that statement. I was simple suggesting it was true . We did over look him. Not comment on whether that was good or bad. It is a fact we overlooked him. Just the same as saying we overlooked Darling. Now a number of others did similar but it does not alter the fact that the MFC overlooked him.

Ok I get your drift. This person sounded way to young for either but I guess you never know. Even If it was either they did well today in my eyes.

You are just being difficult H_T We over looked him and took someone else who is going to be our UN ambassador in 20 years time. In case you have not guessed I am over seeing a red in every media statement. Wins games regularly and they all shut up. Until then ignore all the little barbs

I usually get your cryptic messages dc But this ones has beaten me ?

If we had a couple of the Richmond Boys and we were winning games and making the finals would people be complaining that they had friends of dubious reputation or really poor taste in tattoos ? No They would be lapping up the success.

I was today rang by the club trying to get more money from me. It was an interesting discussion ( not the money ) as we discussed the coming season. The person who contact me I believe was not expecting a lot more than 2013 it is was refreshingly honest. I have no idea how these people get themselves up for this thankless job. They have my admiration way more than the Players and officials who get paid handsomely to perform their functions. I think he was surprised that I was so cheerful. He seemed to brighten up substantially after I cracked a couple of jokes with him. Thank God for these people I wonder where clubs would be without them.

Well he was Redleg It is a statement of fact

Now you are being as ridiculous as you claim I am. OF course I don't want an murderer of any kind. But I am certain that the major quality I want is the ability to play well. We have for too long recruited choir boys who are not up to it. Just get some good players and worry about the rest later if at all.

Agree, the problem as been we denuded the playing list of senior players with experience and replaced them almost exclusively with kids the net result was there was no one to carry the load while the kids developed an stiil is not enough to this day.. So expecting too much was not the fault of supporters but the lunacy of the management during the 2007 - 2011 period.

That is all wonderful I hope it comes to fruition as you describe. But you know the only thing I care about is him becoming a very good player at the MFC anything else is nice but to be brutally honest I could not care less. If he is not a good player for a long time I don't care if he ends up as Australia's ambassador to the UN.

That is true but if there is no case to answer the howls will go on for years. Most on here want blood and lots of it.

Oh god so we gave up eight years to early on Cook and seven years on Gysberts. Sorry Machsy I could not resist.

Carefully D26 some will say you think he is the next GA I will be happy if he is half as good.

Remind again of the reasons to cheer Machsy?

Plenty of well rated players don't make it D26. there are no guarantees in recruiting

It is not as though it was a new experience most of them have been there on numerous accasions

Correction "Football club"

Yep I doubt it will be at any stage this year.

I think you will find that there has not been the need for a vote for some years. The situation is well organized to have no contests well before the AGM. I cannot remember voting in over a decade so I am fairly sure the figures from whenever would be fairly meaningless. I just rail at the suggestion that the situation the MFC finds itself in is the fault of the membership.

Amazing but two sentences covers it well rpfc.

membership is immediately transferable LH with no waiting period.

Yes I know mjt but I could not resist. The assumption that all good juniors will instantly transfer into champion AFL players never ceases to amuse me.

Now that is true. But is an often heard excuse for all and sundry. We must be the unluckiest team in the AFL to have so many fail for this reason.
