At Least I Saw a Flag

A Brisbane player (Hutton) wore an odd looking helmet years ago. He was likened to an armadillo.

I like the boy!!!

I was there.

MFC often/usually get off to slow starts. I'm not sure whether the coaching staff did it in an attempt to reverse that trend, but the team came out onto the ground way later than usual. Well, it certainly worked!!

That's such a good post. Everyone's got a Jack story. A vivid memory I have is after a loss at Etihad. The team had performed very badly, but Jack wasn't too bad. As the team walked off, a supporter totally "lost it" and was screaming hysterical abuse at the team. Jack stopped in his tracks and glared at the "supporter". I admired him for that.

The word forlorn springs to mind ...

Usually an attempt to kick a torpedo punt ends up as its poor relative ... the mongrel punt !!

Spot on. Great analysis.

Last night's match was easily his best match for MFC.

You just did.

Well ... I've been on anti depressants since I was called "a silly sausage" .... :-(

BT = big turd

Perhaps at Inflation?

Nev actually went to ground. If Frostie hadn't come in, Carlton were away. Having said that, Nev's second effort once he got to his feet was great. I think it was a joint effort, but Frostie's efforts seem to have been overlooked.

He also has Frostie to thank for helping him out.

Agreed, but Frostie's efforts in that passage of play were just as good/important.

You forgot his habit of going to ground.

Great to win despite playing poorly. Best were obvious, TMac, Clayton, Nev et all. There were some who could be forgiven for poor games. Hoges + Smith.But really. Kent + Stretch were terrible. And some of the turnovers from experienced players were shocking. Lewis + Vince. This was a match that MFC would have lost in previous years. That's the difference between this team, and MFC teams of previous years.

Agreed. How often is MFC a goal down after 1/2 minutes? Answer: too often.

Agree with most posters. He has really underperformed. Hopefully he puts in a good one today.

Yeah ... for Daisy!!

His mum and dad are also his aunt and uncle

I think the plan should be to beat Carlton tomoz.

The Swans are awesome ... unfortunately.
