monoccular

I would very much doubt if many could without standing on a box, or in the case of Spargo, on a ladder.

Ross or Garry (this is a footy board)? Ronald, or Oscar?

Frees 15 to 6 !!!

Umpiring is dead set cheating Check their betting accounts though I guess it is very important for the AFL to have the tigers up near the top.

Lewis was held without the ball when he kicked that “Jakovich goal” ... no doubt the free would NOT have been paid

Lever! OMG. Does anyone really think we are NOT cursed?

Knee to JV’s head not worth a free?

Even fewer at the moment one would suspect !

More like the bad stuff. ? I don't think any of Norm Smih's teams took any supplements - how about just some good wholesome steak? ? Supplements have destroyed EssUndon's brand forever. Why use supplements at all? No Chinese players at MFC, and not too many performing so we are surely in the clear.

deanox - you make Goody sound like the coach of the century. Maybe we need to give him (Goody) another chance, and are you implying that we should do the same for the subject of this thread?

TBO was a decent surface for preseason training though the ‘oval’ was not good for planning on playing at the MCG (or any other AFL venue perhaps with the exception of Kardinia Park) as it was quite narrow with straight parts along the wings. The Sandy coach was at the time in a totally separate structure and they were not participating in the MFC game plan (I think it was ND during most of the period of affiliation) and had zero interest in MFC player development. And TBO was a good ground for access with parking and public transport.

Frankly beyond caring.

I would certainly be very interested in the WC vs visitor stats in regards to the WA maggot who is best mates with one of the Eagles ?

I didn’t year that but a couple of comments later were ...... well, quite creepy. Sad really. Gone on far too long. Was one of my favorites early on.

So has he coached prospective Everest mountaineers too? Surely no need for that ?

Not that I give a toss, but probably a good idea. However ..... that will only give Shocking / Gillon an opportunity to dream up some other monstrosity. I am sure they have it in them to make something far worse.

Are you suggesting EssUndone may be his final destination club??

poita - haven't had an opportunity to see Bedford and Chandler. Is it too early to tell if they have the skills or the pace? Having been a bit of a fan of Spargo last year, he either has a bad case of second year blues, or sadly, I tend to agree with you. Also have been a fan of JKH but his papers look to have been stamped if he can't squeeze into this line up despite good reports from Casey

I still hold high hopes for Weed as, for now, second KPP forward, though in the remainder of this dead season would a stint at CHB help his development? Hannan is better than he has shown this year. Injury has hit him hard and he is starting way behind the line. Lockart ... too soon to be sure. Spargo .... not enough pace for a midget Garlett .... retire while we still have some good memories, please

As we are now so close to the bottom, does that mean we won't even have the joy of skiing soon? Cross country skiing maybe? When did we last bully anyone - OK, Hawks and Cats last finals, but then .... ??? I agree, but he is right on this one. Of course, and remind me of how they got dragged through the media and were sanctioned by the AFL, like we were? They, and the prototypical tankers from up Sydney Road, between Parkville and Brunswick??

Jim Cardwell, secretary (ceo) - and recruiting officer as I recall. Got some decent return from the Goulburn Valley and I thought our suburban zone included Edithvale-Aspendale (Federal League) that yielded Stan Alves and perhaps others. I am fortunate enough to have been there. Never expected to lose, and never two in a row. Ahhhh . true glory days.

In fairness there is quite a lot of difference in their build! Certainly looks to have that burst of speed that is essential for a midget

Did anyone really expect that he would be an overnight fix? Can do a decent job when needed to ruck. Needs more time at Casey, when not needed to fill a role at MFC, especially to learn his forward work. So I see him as both insurance against Max being inured, but also a 'project player' in the forward line not as a KPP but as a tall forward / ruck when a combo is needed.

I though Tex showed all of his true leadership qualities, as he did in that GF a few years back.

T Mac’s dramatic unexplained and unexpected drop in form has been a huge factor in our fall from grace. (I do accept and realize that one man does not make a team but his absence has been enormous). Hopefully, whatever it was, has passed and the presumably unrelated meniscal tear will recover quickly and he can get a full and uninterrupted pre season and a full and productive 2020.
