  1. Yeh, I'm not much good posting from a phone! But I think finding the appropriate person would be harder! Look, I agree Grundy is gone, we mightn't get much, but finding a best 22 player is not easy given our depth. Most of our best 22 have good contracts. IMO more likely we'll look for a player like Flynn who isn't a forward but can play in Max's spot if he's injured.
  2. Not at Grundy’s salary! Do you really believe them? Where did they come from? I’m very sceptical.
  3. Just go and get that forward who can ruck. Got plenty of cash (if Grundy leaves), picks and clout - just get it done. So easy to say, so hard to do. Who?
  4. But it was the right thing for MFC. It’s always frustrating when a fan favourite falls outside the best 23.
  5. Who is the forward worth $650,000 per year? I haven’t heard of one on the market from any club. And if there isn’t one? What then? We will look for fair value and whilst we will try to accommodate Brodie we won’t be screwed over. We are trading one of the better rucks in the AFL. In principle I agree with you, but we do hold a fair hand and will want fair value.
  6. No need to go to Box Hill now.
  7. The goal against Brissy wasn’t bad either!!
  8. Yes, but what does Binman say?
  9. Laurie - helped turn game.
  10. Lloyd Meek.
  11. That's why you posted it on a highly popular fan forum. Nice one.
  12. Not according to the Age this morning.

    Very disappointing WCW! I’m wondering if you could call Mrs Fritta, enquire in detail as to 6goalfritta’s state of health with particular reference to his recently injured foot, record the conversation and post it on this thread. Perhaps then we could find it in our hearts to forgive you recent transgression.

    Are they still talking about the MCG precinct? I don’t really care but they do treat us like fodder.
  15. That's a bit mean spirited Old!
  16. Cal Twomey's Phantom Form Guide: Top draft prospects' August ranking
  17. Kudos to @binman You picked it Well done.
  18. And potentially a couple more in the draft.
  19. I wonder if we've got a player we could throw in to get GC first pick?
  20. Macca I class myself as one who doesn't go round blaming umpires and if I could be bothered to look I think you'd find posts where I've defended them. I also had an excellent view of the incident and I thought it was a terrible decision. I thought May put his hands on Daniher, one in the side and the other on the side of his back, to hold him out, not to push him. As far as I'm aware that's quite legal. When Daniher flung himself forward May's hand held their position, they didn't push him. Daniher has form. Earlier in the match he tried to milk a 50m penalty. May was unset with the decision because he knew he didn't push him. Daniher had misjudged the ball and May was peeling back to take the mark. As you and I would agree, it's an impossible game to umpire and my explanation above is full of judgement's I can't be sure of. You saw the same thing and have a completely different interpretation, just as valid as mine, but I think you're very wrong. Let people have their opinions. Oh, and for the record, the only time I've ever wondered if the umpires cheat was the 2016 GF where the Dogs (everyone's favourites) got a dream run that was hard to explain and was a continuation of their "good fortune in the PF the week before.
  21. I certainly was.

    Like what? Letting him play injured? As WCW says "morons will be morons".
  23. Slartibartfast replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Now there's an idea......

    I think what you’re overlooking AF is Collingwood success is built on defence (they have lowest against in the comp) and outstanding pressure. That strikes me as the perfect combination for winning finals. Added to that is they play with freedom whereas we often play scared. They are the flag favourites for good reason but like anyone they can be beaten.
