old dee

We need a replacement for Gus he was sorely missed this year. I know they don't grow on trees. End of story.

What’s your thoughts on Kentfield? I like his first game but after that he seemed to become invisible.

I really hope you are right Mr. Leg! But when?

Quite obviously the injuries had a big impact on him physically and mentally. I had a big injury at 18. It affected me mentally for some time. I don't find it hard to believe at all.

Are you sure he will play many in the first half of the season? He had injuries considered similar to a car crash. Not to mention the mental side of the last 3 months.

His development is slower than his leg speed.

Unless we recruit one it ain't Verrall.

Last year we had the best and worst recruits. Windsor is very good. Not many first year players play 95% of games and play well in most games.

I think I said this elsewhere but I would not be surprised if he doesn't play many games in 2025. It was a big bad injury he sustained. Add mental problems. I am worried he might struggle.

Spot on Bbo night games are a nightmare for me too. Might be good for sponsors etc but not me.

Contact the club via email and air your thoughts. Every time I have done so I have been contacted and the complaint discussed. The last time was after that disaster of sending Trac back onto the ground when he was clearly very distressed. IMO that was the low point of this season.

Hmm just about to have breakfast! That last line delayed things.

Add they lucked in with 3 wins below a goal and drew one. IMO all of those were from late dubious umpiring decision. By contrast the dees lost 3 by less than a goal.

I have been watching the MFC now for nearly 70 years and he is without doubt the best Ruckman we have ever had and in my opinion the best player we have ever had. Yep that includes RF. He is seldom if ever beaten.

You are better off no matter with the money hardtack. Believe me a month after not buying a membership the pain will be the same and you will have spent it on something way more enjoyable. Buy $100 of chocolate and $100 good coffee. You can enjoy both together for the next 100 days.

I haven't renew yet Dante but I am thinking about it. Some times I think they only thing that brings change is the loss of money. It is the thing that drives the AFL and clubs.

Good move layzie buy a cheaper membership.

Keep the money hardtack. There is more to life than the MFC.

You know it would not surprise me if he did not play in 2025. The injuries he sustained were very bad. It will take some time mentally and physically to get over.

He is a lightly framed player. If you are lightly framed you need to be very talented to make it at senior level. Very talented! No where near it. May well be our worst recruit in a decade.

Yes one of the poorest trades in the last decade!

He won’t want to go to a club that has a number of years in the bottom half of the ladder coming up.

If he wants a big Vic club that makes a field of four IMO. Carlton, Collingwood, Geelong or Hawthorn. He won’t want Richmond they have a long stay at the bottom coming up. None of those have the draft picks or the salary space for a salary that he wants without releasing a well paid very good player. Don’t relent MFC a top five draft pick and a good player or he remains at the MFC.
