Jordie_tackles

most tackles, most marks and a goal edit and 3 frees for non against Neeld only said these players played to an "acceptable level" non of them played well necessarily

yeah i knew they had been with us for a while, people seemed to think something new had happened was all, interesting link you mention though

so what is this?

James looked great tonight imo, hard as ever, setting the example for his young team mates. got his hands all over the pill. Could use a guys like this as a leader over the last year or so....... i will admit i may be wrong on this one. I supported the decision after his hamstring injuries, and maybe the year off helped James but he was the captain we needed this is now obvious. Good luck Macca, and sorry

Patton will be another expensive player to avoid, downgrade him to say a Adam Kennedy from GWS. Then use the 200K to upgrade Grimes? or just an upgrade J brown on the bench is wasted mate....... to much money and i dont think we can count on him to last, down grade him to another rookie and then add another defensive player. you wont be able to cover that many rookies all year. Need a solid 4 Stars in every position bar Ruck imo Hope this helps Edit down grade patton and Brown then upgrade say Forster to a full premium

Bigfooty does in one of there MFC leagues

Meant to be a great aboriginal kid sliding down the table from top 5ish i think, Garlett cousin of Jeff. Due to behaviour issues or something. meant to be a huge talent. pocket forward come midfielder eventually, sounds perfect.

Pretty sure West will be a great player AW, but anyway Out of the rest i can say the only two players i would be interested after our picks are....... Jackson Paine Collingwood and Lachie Neale Fremantle But i am happy to back the recruiters in and have been pretty impressed with Tynan and Taggert tbh

Would just like to pay my peace and respect to the Great Jim Styne's, i man who was not only a pioneer and a great footballer and football lover but an even more special individual outside of the football community. Jim used his accomplishments and his footballing career to do even greater things for those who needed help, Through REACH. He was a man doing so much for so many and was sadly taken far far earlier than anyone could ever argue. Thank you Jim you have changed the MFC and the world for the Better, You will always have a place at the MFC Respect Callum

it is pretty much the same as last years in colour new design

exactly..... we wont know what really happens until round 5, especially as we are a big chance to beat the Lions regardless of form if we put any sort of play together. We have a very hard start of the year...... so people will rate our season by round 10 when we have a cruisy run home if we can stick to our guns that far after the start we get, very much North last year who flew home

I think there are 3 seperate lockouts, the first one this week obviously for Sydney and GWS, then thursday night for Carlton and Richmond then the final lockout. any of my picks that you dont like? eg. the midpricers in Grimes and Danger? not 100% on Grimes coming back but he is value and i dont know who else i would go at his price anywhere on the ground?

Ok dont know if we want to turn this into a discussion thread or not or start a new one? Anyway this is my team atm, would love your thoughts Goddard, Deliedo, Shaw, Suckling, Grimes, Ellis, Spurr, Darley, Yagmoor Pendelbury, Murphy, Selwood, Hodge, Clifton, Miles, Magner, Clay Smith Mcevoy, Giles, Big O, Redden Franklin, Goodes, Martin, N, Riewoldt, Dangerfield, Devon smith, Kerridge, Aaron Hall, T Couch Thanks guys, i can take all feedback so open up edit - highlighted rookies

i dont think you will approve.... very close if maybe slightly better than last years imo

Carlton hasnt won a game yet this pre-season, does this mean they arnt top four material and worse than us? exactly Shows how much we can take out of the NAB Tiddly Winks

I dont know if you saw the herald sun today OD but the team photo looked really RED to me, here is another example, what do you think? i think it is really close if not perfect edit - here is the link haha http://www.melbournefc.com.au/Players/Playerprofiles/tabid/8357/default.aspx?playerid=14357

Really, they cant charge 50c a day for an item which they have provided for free until sales of there main product decreased? I think it sucks to but really they are a business and you liked the HS when they were giving you a free ride ect Is fair really,

Hird and swan went in the 60's and 70's ect would still love them though

Got to laugh at people who claim that an 18yo who didnt even have 1 full pre-season and still hasnt struggles to put on weight. Even though he is putting on 5kgs a year while injured and not having full pre-seasons. I think i know i solution to all our drafting problems though, instead of recruiting Watts, Cook and Gysberts i will tell BP's replacement to find the next Judd, Cousins, Goodes, Brown and Franklin who can come in and win us a Premiership while completing their VCE's...... Sounds good yeah....pffft

I think Moloney should be close to top 50 imo......but hey we are not fashionable atm

Is this a serious comment? i have found the top 50 an absolute joke. NikNat isnt in it imo atm, he looks good and people get hyped, late last year nobody would have had him in it imo........was an average player. I think his highlight reel gets him off the hook a bit, he will be an amazing player in 24 months but top 50 now is crazy in my eyes.

haha welcome, i have honestly been turned off a number of topics by the overwhelming negativity prior to round 1!!!!!! its is nice when some fresh air rolls in

the piece on Jurrah "training" was a joke..... 2 minutes of him on a bike with no commentary lol but yeah i enjoy most of their work

how so? you could only bid on 1 per player and a few extra i think from the shop?

lol do follow football at all?
