i'm on record as saying that i was sure both would be made captain. And am very surprise that hasn't eventuated. Agree they have handled it well. Adding to your points WB i'd add the decision not to have a leadership group outside a captain and VC is cleaver in so far as it makes both positions more significant in some respects and therefore mitigates a bit the impact on Viney of being demoted.

That kick by melk from the pocket to tmac 20 metres out was exactly why we missed him so much last season. And why he is so important for us full stop.

Was thinking the same thing rjay, at least about the lions game as it was at casey and they were the fitter, more cohesive team. Plus may got suspended and Smith looked injured.

Don't agree. Hibberd was fine. Made some errors, has no right foot (why ask for it on his right side?) But looked in good nick and showed some his old dash and ability to clear defence. Omac was quiet but did his job. His direct opponent took just one mark on him and only kicked a point. Unlike some of the other defenders didn't give up goals through silly frees and turnovers and again unlike other defenders his few disposals all hit targets.

Shown who's door?

Has to get a week. Should get 2. Stupid decision. May got a week in the corresponding practice game last year. Many on here argued he shouldn't have even been reported, let alone cop a week. Crouch has to go

What a ridiculous comment. Oliver will get at least a week.

This is similar to one of my favorite sledges to annoying and vocal opposition fans at games where we are getting beaten: 'Your team is rubbish - a half decent team would have beaten us by twice as much'

A mate told me a fella he works with has a work around to address that issue, possibly some plug in or the like so you got the foxtel stream not the 7 one. He was gonna to get more info and let me know.

Kayo works really well. Casts to tv perfectly. There is no information at all about results meaning no problems watching 'as live. Handy even if you are watching live but want/need to do something else for a bit. Pro tip: like netflix subscriptions easily shared as it is web based service. I assume they have factored that into their pricing.

They will after a season of frost ball that's for sure.

Ironically he is an emergency

Including commentators over rating him.

He couldn't get you tickets? Or at least tell where the secret entry is?

Yes i suffer form it too - its called the Pollyanna syndrome

Be that as it may (pardon the pun) it was unnecessary and stupid to even risk a suspension. Save the tough guys stuff for games played for premiership points

I'll be happy if he plays a preseason game footy - he will need a hit out and he is critical part of our back 6 (the most most critical?) so needs some match team with Omac and co to build synergy and 'connection'. I'll be very unhappy if in that game he shirt fronts a roos players and gets suspended

Nope. Shocking site

We desperately need a WTF button. Sometimes the sad or angry face buttons simply don't cut it. Need a super confused face

Stop hating on the club. You are constantly potting the dees.

With all due respect saty i'm not sure there is much evidence of so called usual suspects hammering the club in this thread. If you think otherwise can you name who you are referring to.

Good Lord angry. Are you for real? You should change your name to don't make me coherant

I have locked in leave for the arvo of the roos game. Really looking forward to it

I think there is something in this. From memory it has been floated but clubs want some proper practice games and the AFL want to monetise them. We are choosing to have two additional practice games so clubs must want them.

You do do you. That's interesting to know. Because i have such a record on demonland of potting the club. That will come as a surprise to the posters who suggested i work for the club and am a MFC plant on this site, such was my supposedly happy clapper blind defence of the club and push back against those actually potting the club last season (see the sack the Goodwin thread, which has thankfully gone into remission). It might come as surprise to you angry, but is possible to hold disparate and sometimes seemingly contradictory opinions. I can support the club, think the FD and coaches are dong a good job, think the board is stable and effective etc etc AND think the communication from the club is poor and a cause for concern.
