Dean Kent wasn't exactly injury free and ready to roll, and AVB's upside was far higher than Kent's.

...... AND play him forward.

Hibberd must be, on preseason showings, the one on the fringe?

Various views on one who could be a very important asset. Looking forward to hearing an authoritative response.

Knowing the MRP / Christian inconsistency they will both get 2 weeks. (MFCSS)

Slam tackle .... no prior opportunity ..... free kick hawthorn .... gimme goal.

Set shot goal kicking no better than last year

What - no flogging from the gamekeeper?

I guess the AFL feel the need to support one Victorian country team. Dangerfield, Ablett - both should be deregistered for 12 months!

I suspect it would also include balls coming into 50 and being locked in as a stoppage.

And Carey, Longmire, Martin, Cable ......

Every year we have a potentially star player “at the crossroads” and sadly Jayden looks like this year’s candidate. He certainly needs to do a lot more that grab the ball and run, however fast he can do that. Different build but like Frost in many respects. I sincerely hope he can regain his zip and bounce .... can anyone remember the details of the injury that knocked the stuffing out of him? My recollection is vague.

FD - yes, it is important to introduce new players when defending a premiership. (Is that what you mean?)

Cordner Oval might be able to be turned into a decent training surface, and the name certainly has MFC connections, but there is no way that anyone would be allowed to build anything like a training facility on that site. Fixing a playing surface surely cannot be that big a deal if there is a genuine commitment to the site, and I doubt if a top rate surface would suffer significantly from any amount of foot traffic that may wish to traverse that particular area. Is it feasible to get an exact size shape replica of the G playing surface in the existing footprint? Do that and build a facility on the car park ?F and the only real downer would be the inability to have closed sessions. Nowadays with the advent of drones, is that actually feasible anywhere other that a fully enclosed and roofed structure?

Did it for my one.

Yes, as a forward.. Just hope he doesn't become a whinging petulant prjck though. 1948, 1956, 1960, 1964? Are you a Broooce alias? Wasn't mindfulness something that Mrs Roos introduced?

???? courtesy of our new captain.

Sounds like this is actually designed as yet another bag Oscar thread. Getting boring.

One involving Tony Liberatore Isn’t it the Collingwood team that gets day release to allow them to play? Wasn’t that the year that the Bummers were on “the good stuff” from Dank?

Exactly. A run in this game isn’t going to do anything positive like a preseason hit out as a team, to tweak tactics and layout and carries possibly a greater chance of injury IF however fundraising was the prime purpose of this match then surely one or two players from each team would be likely to raise greater interest.

Footy should be his last consideration at this stage (other than as much as being involved with a club may aid his mental state). One can only hope he can return to a satisfying and happy life after footy.

Or the quadrella, throwing in the Coleman? So succinctly stated TheoX

Maybe we will eventually have all these politically correct woke competitions: LAFL GAFL TAFL BAFL IAFL

WTF!!! Why cat't these morons leave OUR game alone. Shocking is showing signs of too many concussions from his playing days.

MFCSS FCS Seriously cursed. Thanks Dr Don Duffy - the curse of Norm Smith raises its ugly head again.
