  1. Just a guess OD but might be the FD model they've established during the Roos term. A leading premiership model with the facilities, recruiting staff, assistants, sports scientists , statisticians (read cast of thousands) etc? Probably leading edge or thereabouts for the first time In the modern era for us? It may also have a Sydney Swans style expense sheet underpinning it that requires a membership base of 50,000 plus to be viable in the medium to long term and keep Gill happy. If we can't get the 50,000 immediately, and we won't, maybe the club is going for the smoke n mirrors trick. We might have no choice but to make regular finals appearances from here on! ? ??
  2. Not doubting the accuracy on this Cards but when i listened to our membership day on SEN i heard nothing along these lines. Just an ordinary plea to join the club by Robbo in a brief advertisement with a very lame "Go Melbourne" catch cry from him at the end. Inspirational stuff! Could have been talking about the city! Whatever happened to Carn' The Demons! In fact whatever happened to the Demon? Sadly appears to have been completely wiped as a mascot in all marketing other than potentially on game day with Chucky etc and a few old retro style t-shirts/tops.
  3. Maybe we can drag this bloke out of retirement for one match Clint....was pretty quick...and hungry!
  4. Well that was one stunning performance! The comradery and joy for the game the girls have is lovely to watch. And there's some very good footballers developing here outside of the usual culprits. But hey I never tire of watching Daisy's amazing work in and around the packs. Those handballs! Wow she just has impeccable timing and evasive skills and touch that get her out of trouble and into space, freeing up time for herself and others around. The link up Queen of the AFL. Paxman again another solid performer. All the girls were fantastic and looking forward to seeing them in the Granny. If they make it I reckon they bring home the bacon ??
  5. Tim Smith! Woo hoo!!!
  6. Correct Cards. I have not seen us push the envelope in this game in the entire time i've watched and frustrated that so many others do so and do it well. One can only hope we've finally woken up.
  7. P.S. Thanks for the updates fellas. Nice work ??
  8. That would certainly not help his prospects of playing the first round Wrecker ?
  9. Libba one of the best at the latter skill I would argue Ernest. I reckon they won a few bonus matches last year with their ring around the rosey flicks, scoops and tricks. I reckon we've also done a bit of work here over the summer. Hopefully we can do so to great effect on game day and match the likes of the Dorks & The Dogs and win a few more games as a result.
  10. i would be very surprised if any taps weren't to our favour today Wrecker ?
  11. The bare minimum is Hibberd for Omac and Watts for Weids if we are to have a slim chance of winning me thinks. I would love to see all of the above back at their best though along with Tim Smith at some stage. We need more speed across the ground and without the likes of Kent, Frosty and Jeffy we look pedestrian slow other than Hunt and Tmac off HB. Tmac shld be instructed not to TRY & hit targets by foot. Needs to give off to other runners early into his run & carry and shld certainly be instructed to never try and switch kick at any point in any match! . Jetta & Hibberd pls. No Omac FCS. Tim Smith would out score any of those you have in the forward line (with the exception of maybe Hulk) if he is fit enough and given enough time to adjust to the tempo of AFL over a 4 to 5 week stint IMO. Although this would also depend on the quality, or lack thereof, of delivery inside 50. Watts is a must inclusion for this reason alone but not the only reason.
  12. There's hope for Tim Smith in that result. Hope he isn't left on rookie list to rot. Could be difference between finals and not if he gets a decent run.
  13. Value Rjay...Value! ?
  14. At least it would start off positive Spirit ?
  15. Going the early crow and tipping Jack for the Bluey this year!
  16. Richo at the Races with KB is worth a listen once a week. Those 2 together are pretty entertaining and even if you can't stand that segment there's always Richo's tips
  17. I'll 2nd that DZ. By no means a stand out must pick in 22 but surely his versatility and attack on the ball and opponent was worth one hit out in JLT? Certainly a more reliable/effective defender than Omac on the right match up.
  18. Fantastic win girls! Against the odds. The Crows had 17 men on the field to 3/4 time also ???
  19. It's been a disgraceful display to 3/4 time dazzle. So many throws and incorrect disposals not paid against the Crows
  20. Max was one of very few who hit a target coming i50 though WB. And that target was the Spencil. And it never hurts to show the opponent an effective different look from time to time i reckon. Also in the event that something ugly happens to you know who then we also have a reasonably in form back up to go full time during the season if needed rather than coming in from a somewhat sub standard Casey match practice/fitness level only.
  21. Spencil for Weids is a no brainer Dee. Weids is at least another pre season away. First lesson at Casey - learn to hold on to more gettable grabs son.
  22. Can only hope so. He always bobs up against us
  23. As much as it hurts they are still F1 quality. Return of Roughy should also boost their stocks
  24. I would also like to add Trac to that list PD. He had a mare. With regard to the highlighted section i have yet to see an MFC team that does this consistently well on a regular basis throughout a season or for seasons on end. IMO this has been one of the major causes of much of our woes and sub par performances for decades. If you are saying this will easily be rectified (at least for those who aren't very good at it at the moment) by Goody this year then i will declare him a genius and either: 1. Streak around your house 3 times!; or 2. Shout you a 6 pack of your favourite beer Either way i hope i'm wrong and am forced to honor one of the above. Would result in a finals berth in 2017 IMO if we can!
