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!

Surely you mean Flogmantle.

The surprising form of Hawks and WCE should be a warning to us NOT to be in anyway complacent tomorrow - though, granted, Kangaroos are not birds of prey.

Angus Brayshaw huge goal to take the lead 2021 GF - wasn't that from another "super boot Daniels"' clanger?

Dangerfield no doubt out preening for some media promotion, not related to this shameful episode. At the time it was reported that the Port doc viewed the incident and said nothing to see (even though the rest of the world was aghast). Also reported was that the AFL have someone in the bunker viewing this too with power to all the attention of the clubs to concerns. Where they blind too? Exactly - an opportunity for him to show that the AFL are actually serious about concussion, but he squibbed at this first contest. Glad he isn't playing for us.

Of all the hypotheticals, surely there is only one that matter - win our next 7 and we are Premiers.🏆

meat halfway - wisedog - you are surely baiting me. or are actually hotdog meat? meet
