Buddy Franklin 100+ goals 2008 - Premiership. People try to reinvent footy. It is pretty simple 1. Get the Ball 2. Pass it to someone that can kick it long to a leading option. 3. Have crumbers ready to pick up the spoils. 4. Win possesion and kick it long to a leading option. A good full-forward who can kick 100 goals will win big games. Good Full-forwards are worth their weight in gold. Maybe more.

fight on

Sorry mate, your probably too young to remember the eighties and nineties, Capper Modra Dunstall Lockett Ablett Jakovich Lyon Schwarz Big goalkickers straighten up a team, and create greater excitement for supports. ps, we could have grabbed Darling.

Just imagine he he could be our full-forward. I need a full forward

Lake is a full back, we already have 4.

I think Watts will develop like Lyon, start dominating in the back, then start dominating forward, flowing thru the midfield. Fevola is full-forward, Full Stop.

Fevola? He might have another 4 years in him, long enough for our next premiership window.....next year. imagine.. ff- Green Fevola Howe hf- Jurrah Sylvia Davey believing that Howe will be our next big thing.

The ART of football. a, To capture the moment b, to express your talents c, to test your character d, Till you can't give no more....... That's why Melbourne is the best city in the world. We are the Heartland.

We need a full forward who can kick EIGHT. Who will it be? Jurrah Howe Green I remember watching the good-ol-boys

You know nothing

I just watched the interview with frawls He looks angry. It felt like he was burning inside. Iloved it. When he dominates, he will be better than Jackovich.G. Rivers is a serious campaigner. J Mcdonald is 100% at-it hbf Strauss - new, deep kicker, active Watts - lyon-like Scully - Lightning!!!!! Lets do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS as good as THE BEST SIDE WE HAVE FIELDED THIS YEAR lets WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

This thread must stay active. The MFC can't allow our brand to be rubbished by insipid performances telecasted live on Friday night. If we have another poor performance on friday night, for all the world to see, the supporters must demand for a replacement coach. We can't afford to go into the QB match as a club that accepts [censored]-weak performances and mediocrity. MY PATIENCE IS GONE. I want a side of dee-termined footballers, and an even more dee-termined coach. Bailey seems to have only faith. It seems he has great faith in Leigh Mathews. Maybe we should take that on board for next year. In the meantime- give Viney a go. He may do very well. If not, keep him as an assistant for next year and then appoint Mathews.

Eade for Roos at Sydney

If we lose pathetically against the bombers this week, bailey MUST be sacked and replaced with Viney. Its upto the team now. All we can do is watch.

Yes it would

He constantly makes big mistakes. Take last week for example, he picked newton over gawn (bog), played bate instead of howe, had nicholson as a sub instead of petterd, he had the most pathetic forward structure i have seen in long time, he had a defensive mentality to start the game and the boys looked rudderless. How long are we gping to operate like this. One week, one month, i couldnt stand the rest of the year. He has had a good run, but he needs to be replaced for the well being of the whole club. Faith is not enough, he has put many people into a spell, a false sense of security. I dont buy it.

I like viney as interim coach. Bailey seems to have run out of juice.

I sat at the punt road end. I realized that our forward structure was useless. The team looked like its coach was a dead man walking. If he needs advice from lethal, why don't we just get lethal to coach us. Tonights game was crap. Boring footy. I could coach better.

Patrick Ryder?

I have only seen him live once, I rely on the feedback from others, he has been our emergency the last couple of weeks, he is a BIG unit, we need him, give him a run. At worst, if he can't get hit-outs, then sub him.

Patient, patient, we always have to be patient. Just get the bloody ball, and tackle like your possessed.

We do not have a better option than Gawn. He IS our option, - and a good one at that.

Good point

I agree, I think Gawn will take a good big backman (when played at FF), and he is big enough to win most ruck duals. Anyhow, we don't have another ruckman. I don't think Martin can handle a full game in the ruck, although I might be wrong. Give the big fella a go. Apparently as a junior, he was a FREAK.
