Fisher McAsey sounds like he needs a proctologist.

How come the GW$ and GC$ guys looked like they were surrounded by like minded folk? I guess AI thinks that there are more than one of each, which is artificial.

Mr fence. Great to see outliers like you and s o n s suggesting patience. 👏. So many see anyone who doesn’t make it in year 1 or 2 as being a spud, a dud, a dud spud list clogger, or some other derogatory term Our new KPP forward, whose forthcoming prolonged absence we are now bemoaning, started in 2018 with one game best forgotten, many describing him as in my previous paragraph, calling for his immediate delisting. He didn’t really come into serious discussion until Tomlinson’s injury in 2021 when he worked hard and became a premiership KPP defender. So we can see that patience is required with these bigger players.

Mea culpa. I was one of many frustrated by Goody’s game day coaching ….. but he actually turns out to be a lot better than any of us armchair critics. Surprise that!

Good to be so positive, from someone who has reached the pinnacle before. Now though is the time to walk the walk and silence the doubters. ❤️💙❤️💙

Thanks for your positivity again, Roost. 🙄 Just maybe he has 6 more excellent games left in his foot - I for one hope so. ✔️ I love your detailed and positive analysis once again binman. Thanks.

Correct me if I am wrong, but did Tom Hawkins do much until at least his third season on the list? I can remember seeing one of his early games and he looked fairly ordinary. Just saying.

Surely you could have been a bit more negative - where is spud or list clogger ? From what I have heard he is a footballer, a good mark and kick who needs more meat on the bones.

Are YOU the archetypal MFC supporter? Agree. Not sure that Clarrie, our brilliant courageous footballer is ever in the running for a Nobel Prize in philosophy or rocket science. I do get the impression that he may either choose not to follow to the letter, or perhaps fully understand, his rehabilitation and recovery programme. He just loves the basics and wants to play footy.

dazzle - just saw this now 2 year old post. We have all had a lot more time to assess Josh both as an opponent in the 21 GF, throughout 22 at the Dogs and now a bit closer in 23. Have you anything to add or change about your views on his approach to the game and the contest? Can he really make the next step? Thanks in anticipation. PS I do realise that this is a Mitch Hannan thread.

Play - I am happy that you finally picked up my irony / sarcasm. 🤗🤗

Well that just goes to show that stats can mean very little. 40% or stats mean something and the other 80% don’t. 🙄

Full recovery, full preseason - absolutely no reason not to be > 50 goals actually. Especially with another preseason for JVR. They would be a very formidable combination - both aggressive, athletic, grab at the highest point and deadly accurate kicks. So unfortunate that he has twice started to show the goods and twice injured his foot. Any “experts” able to make observations re modern footy boots and foot injuries?

Is that Jimmy Toumpass? Maybe, like with May, they don’t want to scare anyone? Gonzo - I can see that a lot of readers did take it that way. OMG - even He could have re-injured his foot on that surface.

OMG the anointed Daicos / Magpies double now in serious doubt. 🤗🤗 Now for the Petracca / Demons double with Max or Clarrie for the Norm. Or maybe ANB just to peeve some of our regular posters.

Maybe that is why Gill in his infinite wisdom has decreed that a billion or two needs to be spent by Tasmania to have a team there. Meanwhile we get sent there, and to Geelong, every / most years whilst CFCx2, EFC, RFC don’t. Such is the depth of corruption of this competition.

To paraphrase Willy Nelson He is gone But he was here And his presence is still heavy in the air Oh what a taste Of forward love Now he’s gone and it don't matter anymore

No timeline on Frittaty? Praha - averages are meaningless when he played some games as a defender. The past two weeks he averaged 4. Big but not necessarily good. “Spargo also chatting with a friend rather than lining up” This is how rumours start. Clearly he has already signed up for the new Tasnaniac team.

Is this all MFCSS generated pessimism? (PS I can understand that)

Decent or deficient? Either way May is the key leader of our team defence - cannot see in any way he would be moved forward Even Shack would be a better option.

If JVR could notget a game a year ago when we were in desperate straits up forward there is zero chance of us debuting Jefferson this year I misread this as sprints and thought that there was an excess of pessimism here. Dunno - Schache could be an answer up forward if someone can give him some angry pills. Tom would certainly attack with all his ability. And he does have firm.

In that case you could explain things about Collingwood Richmond Port and Eagles.

Petty - new unlucky player. Didn't see any of the game but has he replaced Joel?

Bring it on!
