dee-eee

Swooper Northey could have been much more successful if his teams by necessity were not topped up with so many cast-off journeymen . His players really put-in for him , his 90-76 Win/Loss record remarkable under the circumstances .

"Hello Tiger Boys "........that's the colour of the wig of ageing "Trout from Woodend" who sits with the kids in the Cheer Squad .

Absolutely , but Petracca only 2 votes ???.......not in the first five ???

The requirement of a collared shirt in the Members is abused by the horrific sight of middle- aged bogans in short- sleeve Collingwood jumpers being permitted entry .

It's absolutely true ! I will be in that category next year . It's been $15 for ages with no inflation/CPI element at all . .

The mighty MCC of which I am about to become a 50 year member should have DONATED one of those terraces to the MFC for a museum/archive . It is embarrassing that the First Club has no such resource .

An opportunity was lost when the MCC recently sold-off two " surplus to requirements " terraces in Jolimont , one of which was our former hq . I question the accuracy of our reputation for having many generous top-end-of-town supporters .

"Moments" just about sums his highlights for us . Perserverance with Fitzpatrick despite his injury and medical issues would have paid off .

Bizarre things can happen in finals and if we manage to sneak in , a couple of wins are possible . Remember in '98 the Crows managed to win the flag from 5th after we beat them by 8 goals in a Qualifying Final .

Yes . Round 12 we beat them by 1 point . 11.10(76) / 11.9(75)

Garlett surely has to be a scratching . He was shown on crutches on the tv sports reports tonight . Keep him on ice for the Cattery .

I remember saying to my dad at the game that Huddo would break Fred Fanning's record today . He kicked 8 of Hawthorn's 9 first half goals and didn't make it to half-time ! There was nothing dirty about the Bourke contact , he simply fell very awkwardly and wrecked a knee. These days , he would have the reco and be back for the next season . We lost that game by 5 goals .

I was there as a 15 year old . Hawthorn mates to this day swear that Hassa missed that snap which cost them not only their first ever clean sweep of Home victories but more importantly a spot in the then Final Four .

" Some of us have tipped an awful lot of money into the club over the years.............................................".

Wow, ten wins with three on the trot . Remember the despair at quarter time Round Three against Norf in Tassie ? Seven goals to zip down with the Essendon debacle fresh in our memories . Mind you , that third quarter tonight was torture with so many missed sitters .

PLEASE , we have now moved beyond such potentially humiliating signings and you can chuck in as well that frizzy- haired couldabee with headband .

The brilliance and arrogance of Allen Jacovich in his debut year kicking an extraordinary 71 goals in just 14 games .

It would be of assistance to MCC/MFC members if Demonlanders could help identify our supporters amongst the 7 candidates for the 3 positions . Only one is immediately obvious from the published "Candidates Summary" , Charles Sitch, a previous MFC board member .

Surprised Hunt is not mentioned as a possible candidate for omission . Whilst he is intermittently spectacular , he surprises on a weekly basis with his low disposal numbers . I would love to see Grimes get an opportunity .

The only positive from the game was Maxie's return to form .

Or the final wretched example of years of recruiting disasters . No.7's best mate didn't suffer from confidence failure .

The oh-so stylish Hunt always does a memorable dash or two but his low disposal numbers continue to surprise . I think Trenners deserves a final crack judging by his consistent Casey form .

Yes , the prince of stageing and whingeing .

I would love to think he will remain loyal to his club and mates but squillions in the bank with lifetime security , a penthouse overlooking a fabulous Perth beach versus the regular commute along Punt Rd to Gosch's seems a no-brainer .

Is this the same Bugg who is always in the top three or four in the Disposals category ? Maybe he should consider going blonde .
