  1. Fogarty for adelaide's gonna be a ripper.
  2. And I think they just aren't very good. For all the collecting of high end draft picks we did, with a couple of exceptions we ended up with a team of B graders.
  3. Goodwin might've been able to play but he also got done for gambling on games, tangled himself up nicely in the Essendon drug scandal with Hird, Dank and co. and then agreed to coach the basketcase MFC. So I'd suggest his actual decision making is rather quite ........ Poor. Surprised he hasn't tried altering the condition of the ball TBH.
  4. Sure is, but then you need the majority of your teammates to be able to kick the ball to your advantage. Which we don't got.
  5. Because we lack the composure of a good side. We lack the talent to kick the goals that need to be kicked.
  6. No good if you're bombing it that often it's not a surprise tactic. Not gonna be dangerous if it's so predictable. Game plan seems to give the mids an easy out. All they have to do is get it just past the centre and then boot it as far as they can. Job done, then its Hogans problem.
  7. Just as concerning is that 70% of kicks are mindless long bombs to the top of the square.
  8. Cause they had to pick 1st. Another basketcase club.
  9. I know I had a chuckle when Gawn missed. Wasn't that funny though.
  10. Which we will. 'Cause we are. Early part of last year we were as hard as anybody. Problem is our inability to keep it going for the duration of the season.
  11. If he starts getting a few kicks during the season someone will clip him around the ear and that folks, will be that. Be hearing footsteps, ducking his head and dropping sitters for the rest of the year.
  12. I too was redlining during the second and 3rd qtrs. but to say it was an undeserved loss is incorrect. Adelaide kicked 8goals to 1 in the 1st qtr. We reeled them back in over the next 2 qtrs. Then they kick 6 goals to 1 in the last. On our own dung heap it was just a typically pathetic MFC performance in the end. I even remember the interview with TJ after the game. A happier bloke who'd just lost a semi final you wouldn't find. But he'd had a good couple qtrs , so he was stoked.
  13. Until we win a flag we have no champion anything.
  14. Strung some wins together and got confident at the right time of the year.
  15. Been a long time since the onfield was worth listening to.
  16. Never liked the pre - pre game warm-up anyhow. The 1st time you see the players should be when they run through the banner.
  17. How do you feel about one of their assistant coaches at the time now being our senior coach?
  18. Lets not forget collingwood who played the Lions in consecutive GFs in '02 and '03. Then lost 10 of the last 11 games while sending star player Anthony Rocca out for early end of year surgeries in 2005 to enable them to pick up both Dale Thomas and Scott Pendlebury with pick#2 and 5 in the draft. The weagles who played Sydney in consecutive GFs in '05 and 06 only finding them second last on the ladder scooping up Nik Nat with the pick after us in '08. Carlton who were involved in both the Kruezer and Brice Gibbs Cup games. Losing them both. And we got done for tanking.
