monoccular

Exactly. They want their cake and eat it . Will Colonwood play there? Wouldn’t know how to find the place. Are you wanting us Victorian taxpayers to dip their hands in their pockets, yet again?? Maybe the maggots care as much about GW$ as the vast majority of footy followers.

Cats have given up trying to man up.

12:48 to go in Q4 - Hawkins loses a ruck contest and just whines and holds his arms out ..... typifies the feelings of entitlement that they get when playing at KP but not at the home of footy.

OMG Dangerfield and Hawkins are whingers - learned their trade very well from their coach. Really makes me feel a bit dirty but really want the Magpies to win this

Stephenson may have something to say about that. Odds on.

Maggots instructed to even it up it appears

10/0 inside 50s If it were us it would still be a scoreless draw And FFS we are made to use “clash jumpers” v Essendon and Adelaide. Yet these two get away with it.

Surely the Preliminary Final debacle should have convinced Badloss that Fritsch is needed in the forward line, AND that he is not a beckman. But of course, according to folklore at least, that game wasn't reviewed.

Well would you prefer him to start his travels after the finals, and so be another four weeks away from starting preseason?

Will The Pharmacist get shafted in favor of Golden Boy?

EssUndone are the ones flat lining tonight.

✔️ The bye has certainly lessened my already waning interest. Yet another typical AFL knee jerk reaction to Lyon’s failed tactic of resting his key players in a dead final round. It was tried once,and failed, but they made the change anyway. Clueless. And if whining Scott had his way there would be no games at the home of football! From what I took from the “Brayshaw had a great season” article earlier in the week I wouldn’t be certain that they feel that the season was all that bad ?

What a combo forward line Darling, Kennedy talks and Rioli and Ryan. Match up nightmare.

How terribly un-Melbournian, not snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, AND finding targets in a crunch time defending a lead. Maybe should have shown it to our current mob before the final match of this very forgettable season.

The first impression, and that is all the the vast majority will ever get, is that they are pretty satisfied with what was an awful season. If that is actually the case then we are genuinely doomed to eternally accepting mediocrity. I hope there is some underlying subtext that I have missed though.

No love for Fritsch forward? <Spargo?

David Neitz says “hi”!

Seriously, how would you think Tex would have gone with the same delivery forward that our guys got? No better I suspect. Ben Holland? ? D3564 - are you thinking for his “leadership”, his diplomacy or his dummy spits?

Don’t show this too widely. Michael Christian is watching and just musing as to whether this “dangerous sling tackle” is worth either 6 or 8 weeks ??

Tried to write Yze but my spell check said YES! That settles it.

Dressing up as Aussie cricketers? Sharing the skills and feelings of snatching defeat from the very jaws of victory? How MFC.

FD Thanks for that and I do respect your commitment and what you try to and seem to achieve, but there does seem to be a lot of "corporate jargon" (for want of a better term) there. How would this translate to a footy club where players (are they key stakeholders, or are we, the longstanding and long suffering supporters?) most of whom are pretty transient in the scheme of things and who may spend only one or just a few years at the club are required to buy in to the brand positioning and cultures, and live by the values? Are the players part of the working party? The coaching team? The recruiters? The bootstudder and the doorman?

I agree with those who are saying a mission statement is just corporate waffle. An organisation has to have one these days but does it seriously change anything? Were I asked to make a mission statement for MFC it would be bloody short - winning matches and winning premierships.

The vast majority of us here could only even dream of playing one game at AFL level (let alone in a MFC victory) so having you help us share Dec’s journey has been an inspiration. Thanks drunkn

None left anyway. All got drunk after our win over HFC last September South of the border for me.
