monoccular

What an absolute sham of an "organisation" the AFL has become. Gillon can't move on soon enough. "The head is sacrosanct" except when it isn't. Chandler must be feeling totally flabbergasted and abandoned having made the perfect tackle and getting two weeks without even an appeal.

I imagine that the protagonists are sitting amicably together sipping single malt and smoking cigars laughing at the peasants outside who are waiting with baited breath for their pronouncements.

With CarlScum demanding compo for Jones I guess they are seeking compo and damages from the MRO and tribunal for besmirching Cripps’ reputation.

Now way any 5 year deal would be "a good deal" given his injury history. Maybe 3 years with us paying 30%, and the Mugpies paying 70% for the 3 years, then 100% for the final two years after he limps off and away.

Webber?

"...Collingwood have just worked out they have been dudded once again.😂..." You mean they have greedily stuffed themselves up once again. Footscray' and Adam Trealor say "hi". Maybe the Magpies will have to pay well over 50% of their contracted payment? 😀

To me it looks like Crapps has the Brownlow sewn up and it wold be an enormous embarrassment to Gil on Brownlow night if he couldn't claim the medal. Prepare for an acquittal and an apology.

MFC have 100% conversion, in the past 58 years, of minor premiers to winning the big one!!

And what is all this BS about bringing in fresh vision not presented to the MRO? Surely in any professionally run organization ALL available evidence would be presented at the start. Ah, “professionally run organization” May explain it. What garbage.

The answer to the question raised in the thread title would appear to be NOBODY. 😱☹️ But I had thought that Choco had worked with his coloured ball with our guys last year - is he continuing with basic skill training still?

Next step - UN Human Rights Commissioner. Geneva or The Hague??

Spurge needs to be used as an option more: he rarely misses a target in a good position. Smart and clean deliverer. I cannot realistically see TMAC back in any useful position / form / fitness this season.

Pffff. KittyLitter Park while you are on your rampage. Then they can rebuild it in a proper shape, and add in adequate seats for visitors.

My MFCSS says 2 weeks, with the first week suspended, thus free to play Saturday 😱🤔🤮. But Michael Christian, although touted to be independent, is certainly very idiosyncratic (to be kind) and inconsistent. May even charge AH Che with head butting Cripps.

So they adapted their game style to suit their resources. How novel.

“..We're are still in the race but as previously mentioned, we almost certainly need to win all our remaining games to win it a….” Just 5 more wins please fellas, that’s all we ask for.

Just frustrated that v Port and Freo I got the impression that we speared lower into the forward line than in our games v Coll and Footscrag where we just bomber it king and high into the picket. Maybe it wasn’t so and just appeared to be because of the result, or maybe the opposition defence just didn’t handle it as well.

CYB - you mention "half decent forward coaching", presumably an advance on our current 1/10 th decent forward coaching. As well as big bodied forwards we need an executable plan not the easily negotiable plan we have now. As an aside re JVR, Mihocek at 192 cm and 97 kg does pretty wel, 36 goals in 2022l: many are saying that JVR 193 cm 92 kg (at start of 2022, so doubtless bigger that that now) isn't big enough to do a job. Is he worth a run even at this late stage?

Just as T McD did last year - and hopefully will be back to do again in 2023. But he could do that just as well with a Hogan T McD combination than with BBB, who anyone must see is on his last legs, or leg even. The boy Larkey from North looks OK - no idea of his contract status, but could he be lured into a (potentially) regulate top 4 team instead of watering away at the bottom of the ladder (or in Hobart?)

How about we offer Nort to swap / return our PREMIERSHIP FF, BBB, for Larkey who has never even played a final. Seems very fair. 🤗🤔🙄

OMG - even if we were to lead Carlton by 8 goals at ¾ time next week they will have belief in (a) their ability to come back and (b) our proven inability to defend any sort of lead.

You don't think the totally out of depth biases inept Christian won't find some way to get Criupps off? Shamefully one could say exactly the same for Demons.

old dee - maybe you should just book an overseas holiday for September right now preferably somewhere without internet Christian is inept, and biased with an extra conflict of interest this round. We sacrificed our “entitlement” over the last 10 weeks. Do we want it back enough? Does Max and the crew really want to deliver us a flag at the G, or would they just like to? Over to you, team. Cats got Norf and Eagles twice, as well as their gift of home ground advantage second to none.

Had we kicked straight in about three more games we would be safely in top 2 as well. MEMO Goody - big task on the off season. Kick bloody goals, both set shots and under pressure. I don't know how one teaches that sort of thing, but then I am not on the big bucks either.
