Who loves ya, baby?...

How the hell can we look so spent and unable to run in the last quarter when we've just come off the bye?

Yes, and quite a few sat down

3rd week in a row Fritter has been a whitches hat

If LDU requested a trade at the end of this year, regardless of contract status, I'd hope we do whatever it takes to get him. North wont keep him if he's not 100% buy in. We have a first rounder this year, next year and in 2026 (assuming multiple years becomes available). We might also get a decent pick for Petty, if his form turns around 🤞, and he wants to leave. Some of these would make it work. In short, we'll make it happen if he wants to come. Getting him to commit would be the hard part

Gawn has done two knees and gets bashed from piller to post every week. Can't see him running around for us beyond another 2 years. We definitely need a succession plan at the end of this year, preferably not involving a 2 x AA, soon to be 3 x AA. Imo Moyle could be a good target

I read that the youngest McCartin brother is showing some good form down the Western Districts (Lorne?), albeit as a mature aged player (25). Swans and Pies have sent list managers down to watch him play. Wonder if we are looking at him

They would have been Melbournised and delisted within 3 years

If we aren't going hard for LDU and Battle then I will spew up. Get them and Moyle plus 2 or 3 picks in the draft. That will top us up nicely. Surely with Gus, BBB and possibly Tommo, Tmac and Petty leaving we have cap space?

Part time job, can still have a career outside Paid over $100,000 per year as senior umpire Keeps fitness up Feeds the control freak ego

Giants in the PF and Lions in the GF were hard done by as well. Guess who their opponent was? Maybe its the influence of the ferral pies crowd, but it's definitely a pattern

You are right. Not dismissing the seriousness of DUI, but it's hardly a character flaw worthy of passing on him

2023: Ben McKay, X Duursma, Taylor Adams, Brody Grundy 2022: Brody Grundy, Izak Rankine, Jason Horne Francis, Luke Jackson, Josh Dunkley, Tom Mitchell, Jacob Hopper, Taranto 2021: Adam Cerra, Jordan Dawson 2020: Adam Saad, Peter Wright, Treloar, Cameron, Daniher Whether these guys are 'elite' or not is always up for debate Some were involved in MFC trades, some were going home to other states, some have only come good after moving clubs, some have had setbacks, some are yet to fulfill their potential The but the bigger question is would they have improved our list significantly? Even if we landed 2 or 3 of them? I think so. Putting the mess of Brody Grundy aside, we've been poor at trading in since Steven May came on board 6 years ago. Are we on the nose?

Nice get, Dazz

Lethal on the TV just said he'd have Grundy in his team before Max. He's chanelling picket fence! Whoda thunk it!

Oh, Picket... you shouldn't be hitting the scotch this late on a school night! 🥃🥃🥃

My kingdom for a strong marking forward like Jesse Hogan!

Can you not see the irony of what you are writing on the "NON-MFC thread"? Get help, please. I'm concerned for you

I'd like to see Juddy McVee and Rivers given lots of opportunities in the midfield for the next 5-6 weeks. I see McVee as criminally underrated for his decision making, positioning, awareness and disposal. I'd almost go so far as to say he's the most talented player in our current 'best 22'. Rivers gives our midfield dash and, like McVee, is a better kick than Viney, Oliver or Gawn Depth through the midfield: Kossie, ANB and Sparrow Back 6 of May, Rick, Tmac, Howes, Bowey, and Salo. Perhaps it's AMW time???

But can we find any takers?

Yes, Goody hung his hat on that earlier in the season. Kinda like putting it all on the line And we sit 11th. Somethings not right, Dazzle.

And the tackle on Crisp on the boundary just before WHE's releasing kick. He just let go of it in the tackle with prior opp. You could hear the commentators groan when it wasn’t paid.
