  1. Why not coach to of the next decade? I vote for Hinkley as coach of the decade. FMD.....
  2. Both a cop-out and narsascistic at the same time. Well done!
  3. The ball was with Freo in our goal square
  4. After the free Jones gave away, the TV commentator (Roos) said "and 50!", to which Gerard Healey mumbled something about it coming from the goal square. I thought he meant that something else happened in the square just after Jones' free. Not sure though. Healey is such a dull commentator, he's hard to understand. Edit. Now I think Healey meant that it's an automatic 50 when it's a point kick in and there's a indiscretion off the ball inside the forward 50. That's my reading.
  5. Salem on Cameron? More damaging by foot than Frost
  6. Good post. Excellent perspective
  7. Another example of reading stats only one way. Despite our terrible bombs inside 50, I saw Weid make the contest and spill an easy Freo mark at least 5 or 6 times. Twice that I remember resulting in goals to us, including one to Lockard (double effort) and the Tmac sealer. Both Goody in his presser and Roos on TV made a point of emphasising his work rate. Did you and Range Rover miss this? I think Weid is tracking very well and could become the key forward to build a team around. The more games we get into him now, the quicker his development. Its boring seeing posters still bag him as a means of pushing their 'trade the farm for a kpf' agenda (not you).
  8. I played my junior footy at Surrey Park dc. Wore Demons jumpers back then. Pretty rough club iirc. We'd go and have a beer or 10 at the social club after our U17 game I trust the MCC have cleaned it up. Jolly good and three cheers!!
  9. Directly across from Costco. Big area of land has been cleared. Not sure it's been earmarked for anything yet. Maybe the new road or rail tunnel??
  10. Last of Oscar? Why, because we don't need depth? Because if the last couple of years hasn't shown us enough that back up players will regularly get games and need to be developed? Many were calling for Frost's axing 12-18 months ago, before that it was Harmes, 2 months ago it was Weid. Omac isn't as good as May or Lever, but he can improve and is only 23. [censored] me, some people have short vision!
  11. 6 or 7 wins to finish off this year will have: * our membership numbers up and about for 2020 * potential trade targets licking their lips * the current list in a heightened state of excitement. I'm going to go with higher draft picks....
  12. In 1851, just before the formation of the MFC, the population of The City of Melbourne (which included parts of Fitzroy but not Richmond or Collingwood or other inner 'towns') was 23,000. Here's a photo of Bourke St in 1858, the year we were founded:
  13. No DC. Anything below the knee is a trip
  14. A sporting oval is not the same as parkland, Red. Parkland is what is there currently. Despite our needs, changing the use of land on that part of Yarra Park was always going to be pushing the proverbial up a hill.
  15. I disagree. I am shocked to say I think the umpire got that one right. On the whole, it appeared to be more holding the ball than a trip. If anything, our backline deserved the penalty based on stupidity.
