Give the forum more credit!

Hmmmmm, let me think about that.....

NO

Very tongue in cheek, and a comment on the forum not the poster!

Not enough of a sample size for 2020 yet - Before you all stick the boots in, he copped a big hit yesterday from McKay arriving late at a pack, initially I thought he was playing for a free, but I reckon he was out of it after half time.

Clarry played a good game yesterday (and Brayshaw was serviceable if not stellar)! 

Brayshaw copped a late hit from McKay, was surprised it wasn't a free, near end of 2nd I think. I don't think he was right after that.

So basically we are an Italian motorcycle looking for a German mechanic?

On a serious note, no finals this year and I would seriously assess who is available as head coach, and not be troubled if the club said no thanks to Goodwhen.

Are people just jumping on a band wagon out of frustration, or is there some sort of covert campaign on his behalf? I see more people name checking him in various posts and am curious.

I know nothing of Yze as a coach, it seems a pretty big call based on not alot of evidence.

That Yze was a top flight player is not in doubt, although I remember him going missing more than once as a player.

I look at Richmond and Collingwood who stuck fat with their coaches when everyone was losing, I'm not ready to bin Goodwhen yet and think it would be a backwards step, we're not losing players,  I like our recruiting and our style was forced to change alot with 6/6/6. Yes I would like to see the magnets move a bit more. I actually thought the team changes for this round were fair considering those tossed were all guilty of bombing it.

So anyway can one of his boosters please explain why Yze is some sort of messiah, or it Bruce or maybe Robertson?

I think this would be a hoot. Watching the reactions of landers’ during a match and at the same time watching them post on the game day thread.

Loved all the shoutouts he gave, his Mum, Ross, his agent, beyond I reckon what he would be taught to do, sounds like honest appreciation, suggests he is a quality bloke beyond being a brilliant footballer.

Also just by the by but Ross always had wraps for HB as a bloke and a footy player. If HB had been able to get up sooner I reckon he'd still be coaching.

This thread could have many better titles, the Waleed Ali thread for instance, whats that loud ticking sound I hear??? Like the crocodile in Peter Pan... Why it's the mods about to shut it down, I can feel the fingers quivering.

Maybe, but Demonstone is a Border Collie to your Pekingese.

There were a lot of reports about the use of Zoom during isolation, especially around conversations being hacked and inappropriate material being displayed by the hackers.

We would just need to make sure that if anything like this happens, that before we report it we check that it's not @Bitter but optimistic just logging in.

Zoom, FB, whatsapp, vizeo, not fussed, send a PM if you are keen. So far participants are passionate optimists, whoever wants that particular type of tea.

Are pants optional?

Underwear minimum! It will be early here in Djibouti, have already made clear to my French family that the big tv is mine for the morning, no japanese anime cartoons etc. 

So just an idea, not particularly novel but thought I'd mention it anyway

I'm watching with a mate in Switzerland and thought what would it look like with a larger crew and i could see reactions from other supporters. 

I am more than a little cautious about possible meltdowns considering how much we love each other generally, but am semi inclined to give it a go.

Any interest?

Tears of joy here, clapping, and cheering and feeling amazing, this is a fair dinkum movie script. I hate to go early but we will SMASH Carlton, our man HB with 4 goals.

So proud of my club, very very proud.

Am more than happy about Bennell but Rivers and Jackson, so soon? Really want to see a team list I'm feeling like it's  a praccy match and not a 4 pt game.

Great post. I thik you may have trouble fitting Jetta in as he slipping with Rivers or even Jordan taking his place.

Do you mean Jetta in 12 months time? I'm pretty sure over the last 5 years Betts average against Jetta is .3 of a goal a game.

If he plays you can expect ratings to peak early, reckon there will be alot of interest, I think it has been said before but this is 'The Natural' all over again.

Am so so excited, MFC should be proud of the staff for getting him on the field. 

The thing is if he stays fit he will be top ten in the bluey, his skills are sublime and his delivery will allow others to play to their strengths.

Love Nev, looking forward to seeing him in all his majesty. 150 Nevs in the stand, great idea.

In two years time,  'DD'.?   He'll be 30 come September 2022.

This year he turns 28yrs.

I would (reluctantly) agree with you, if:

A, I didn't think he has four solid years of football left.

B, Firmly believe we will be contesting for a premiership in the next four.

C, Think he will help us get that tin mug.

2m Peter would have to be plugger or dermie for me to want to make that trade. But we are not a team looking to rebuild, we are a supercar warming up the tires.

Annoying cliche to finish, 'the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence'.

By era:

Warne-Smith- bias here, but until the 80's he was in all the top ten lists, 50 years after he played, Bunton, Coventry etc described him as their best opponent. Hard as nails and then there is his time as Chairman of Selectors working with Smith in the 50's

Barassi-Our Michael Voss but better. Obviously there is unanimous consent on this so i won't bore further...

Flower- Supremely skilled, lay down flush. Again consent on RF.

Stynes- Lion heart, what an amazing human. He could've the bloke from 'unbroken', just never gives up...

Smith and Hughes would obviously get gigs as coaches, I went players only.

Stiff: Many; Neitz, Adams, Allan La Fontaine - Captain of a hat trick of premierships ffs.

Even if it costs us TMc, and OMc,  to get it done.

 

Utter madness, (and not the ska music kind) Tmac is a machine with his cardio fitness and size. He also prospered under every coach, is not a sook, and had one tough season for injury. Hardest player to replace.

If I could make just one change it would have been Wight from 1994 for Nicholson 2000. I went 2000, thought it was a little more even.

I've had the fortune of meeting Neita on a charity event for mnd. Believe me he bleeds red and blue.

Looked pretty bloody happy during the 2018 finals run on the telly. I got a huge kick out of seeing blokes like Neitz and White et al, totally rapt with the two wins.

VB always tasted poor, the change just made it a different poor.

Cannot agree, used to be the best of the tap beers. Selling CUB was the sin! Is 46deg here in Djibouti a.t.m. what I wouldn't give for a Coopers red label right now though. Is Furphy made by the same mob that put out that horrible Geelong bitter?
