monoccular

"...Newcastle would be a gain; about twice as many people as Tas. A few AFL-sponsored matches there, would be a worthwhile experiment." Maybe GW$ could play a few there as well as or instead of Canberra?

Dropping M Brown means we still have Frittata who plays taller than he is .... and maybe, just maybe, debuting JVR for Mitch.

"no holding in the ruck" and "siren has blown - don't play on" Both well known rules - just bloody enforce them, don't coach the players.

If anyone is tossing up whether to go to a game or not, if one is offered less for more, ie shorter game but still the same travel time to and from, giving a greater percentage of the outing being in getting there and back - surely that would be a deterrent not an incentive. More AFL HQ madness.

Thanks. But just to clarify, I believe this is not the reason for his unavailability at this stage. Can anyone confirm he has a moderate physical injury to his pectoral muscles ?

Agree it is just another meaningless statistic, and by the sound of it but even properly researched. How about no team that has won only one flag after for 57 years has ever won the next after being 10-0 then 10-3. Does that actually mean anything? We are a very different team and a very different club than 2004-2006 with an unrecognisable culture change. Reset and advance. GO DEES.

Harry McKay anyone?

Saints would be a good fit - or Bombers (as others have said could find a good mate in Stringer)

Considering requires a functioning adult brain, so not applicable here. He does not appear to have broken any laws so probably nothing for the AFL to look at, though surely his bargaining position would be lowered considerably come contract time. There is no law against being a complete and utter bogan though.

I read the last two words first and nearly had heart failure. Would we then have A Brayshaw A, and A Brayshaw B?

Daisy. I am glad that you raised this. Have tried to find which players have missed with Covid protocols - as I recall they include BBB Jackson ?Tracc all of whom have been well below par. So instead of slanging off at our players for being “duds” maybe some can try to think a bit deeper. And of course maybe those of us who think the Eagles are tanking could reconsider that many of them also were out with covid related issues.

So Stu … in you first scenario Mitch Brown survives? Seriously?

1/ wait and see. Every team selection post has someone or more saying so and so shouldn’t be selected because they are a dud. 2/ I believe that some do. I think Disco posted prior to his debut thanking posters for their support.

Wrong. Jokes are humorous.

Bottom line is, IF Weed is selected then true MFC supporters should give him every support and encouragement. Deriding his selection cannot do him or the team any good at all.

PS Is Thursday game v Brisbane a fully ticketed game? Can MCC members walk up and pick any spare seat?

Just turned on the AFL Franchise v Footscray game - maybe 5,000 there? What a resounding investment that has been.

My issue with ticketed games is the inability to choose where one sits … for me, I hate level 1 and deep in the pockets. In the good old days I could walk up and sit roughly where I enjoy the game most. Now I can’t. Gil - my “game day experience” is becoming less and less enjoyable due to the incessant non game related NOISE. I guess in your corporate box you can enjoy a chat with others while we peasants endure the inane din.

Banking 10-0 has become far more important now than we realised back in April. ❤️💙

WCE at least pushing the arrogant Cats ….. maybe those here who complained that we didn’t beat them by 100 points can rethink.

And that is predictable 🙄

Jj. Gill will no doubt tout the “wonderful game day experience” with over amplified din under a tin roof. I am sure that it will attract multitudes from both families in Tasmania.

Well, Mr Jackson - the next 4 weeks or so gives YOU the enormous opportunity of laying claim to your real worth, hopefully at Melbourne. IF you can, without the onfield help of mentor Max, help is to get through the next month of footy relatively unscathed, then you may be worth millions.

Not this week anyway.
