My apologies if this has been put up before but I could not remember it. if you see a Collingwood supporter riding a push bike in front of you. why should you swerve and avoid them ? it’s probably your bike !

No C, led their cheer squad in the early 70's most of my friends at that time were in various cheer squads, and he at that time was Doncaster way. Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond, Melbourne, Hawthorn, Saints, Geelong, South Melb and Fitzroy from memory had low numbers, long time ago now my memory is terrible, cannot remember north, essendon or the dogs at least I can still try to remember, a lot from that group failed to reach 60. anuther flag please before i forget again.

I have my opinions that I try to keep to myself but the continual degrading of players, ours and others, past and present worries me. coaches are a bit different, more like paid employees or hired guns. I do feel sorry for the saints supporters who are in for a lot of pain. My old mate Phil in particular. Apart from the little old lady that hit me on the head with her umbrella about 40 years ago at Moorabbin. Perhaps I did not have a lot of couth when I was younger. I might have deserved it.

Only 22 played. 23 should have, but only 22 did

Appreciate these views and I endorse the cringe aspect, but I do think that the players in the 22 or 23 deserve recognition but also those on the list also contributed, perhaps to a lesser degree. But if you were a listed player in the MFC you deserve something (not sure what) an open door to the bar whenever you return perhaps. Similarly if you were a member in that year. Should not be forgotten. I do have a photo of the flag with all the names that was pretty good, perhaps a higher pixel copy ?? Those who helped, in whatever small way should be honoured. The 22 who played on the ground will always be a bit more special, thanks bruce.

You have my vote. For what ever it counts for.

5. 2004 (I think) Semi Final V The Crows (We Lost) The most amazing see - sawing final Iv’e ever been too. 40 points down at 1/4 time then something like 27 points up at 3/4 only to lose. Pretty sure Simon Goodwin was playing that night too. fantastic game should never have lost, needed to move a couple of players so it was not stale going into the last, but they stayed in the same spots pizzzed me off badly but it was a great game

Could we have a clause, like DeGoey’s. In terms of unexpected medical breakdowns? and the ferals paying out any remaining contract years.
-
Yes by making fake news so common. no evidence up front, just accusations. dates or times or rebuttals. Fake news is one sided. except where the previous Nth Melb caption is concerned. He sliced up north for years
-
If it was within Hawthorn FC and stayed there perhaps but the Journalists got hold of it or were given it, and whether true or not it has ruined all the accused and North Melb and Brisbane. Mud sticks. especially Merri river mud from cricket pitches on football fields.

In my view, Donald has a lot to answer for. He has single handedly sliced and diced the Republican Party and half the US population,

I don't wish to defend anyone either, after investigation a certain level of guilt may be apparent. But to report a story and you have not interviewed those accused (Both Fagan and the other bloke said they had not been contacted, until just prior to publishing) Is plainly biased and one sided. Poor journalism, only out for the scoop and notariety. Donald Trump fake news, and I can believe it was "anti-inflammatories" , everyone I know sprinkles that on their porridge. or perhaps not.
-
How can anyone believe what is written without attribution if this is not a legal court it is an open kangaroo court, everyone seems to accepts the coaches are guilty. there will be some truth perhaps but only perhaps. but very little is said about any rebuttal and without giving the accusers names it might be BS. Being able to take legal action later Is not a substitute. . the reporters should have reported both sides of the storey . it’s like I know what numbers are up for lotto next week And I have no like or dislike for those accused but it is not fair ! Now bags of little white powder, I can decide for myself the probability.
-
I am not sure there is credibility in any accusation until the accuser puts up their hand and say Yes I, accuse, unless of course they are underage or mentally poor. If someone is charged in a legal court, supposedly innocent until proven guilty, but you know the names of both parties and can make your own judgment or opinion. How can you in this case, I do not know who the accuser's are.
-
Just think Malcome, soon, if we don't look at the final scores first, we will be able to watch it and have a new win in a final, year after year. It's about the only win win situation i can see coming up. Cheers mate.
-
And the winner is…………. not football, poor exhibition of our great game. Now last year was totally different, but I am a little biased a half fit Demons dude would have done far better. Definitely the year to have gotten to the GF. Poor player management, there better be some very big learnings.

Just saw that on the demon website can understand brown but I thought Rosman was a player who had an upside . Obviously our FD did not

Sorry I just like this thread, so many varying views and so little written animosity. when I make points to my friends who follow other clubs I am looked at as knowing. That’s BS but I like it. so. Was it really simple in that we had no rest after the GF in 21 and then no rest to players around the time of the the byes so really poor player management. I know the longer the season went the more we faded in the last. Loading seemed the reason but if we had too many sore players . Then we were stuffed. Comments please
