    If Tracc and / or Clarry wanted to leave at the end of the year, why should it be that the MFC loses because of this? We negotiated a contract and a contract price in good faith with these players and they willingly signed up. We should be allowed to get fair value for the player in these situations instead of ending up paying part of their contract fee and perhaps getting a third rounder in return. That is just not fair.

    What should happen is the MFC contract with the player is torn up, we get fair trade value for the player and the player negotiates his salary with the new Club. What’s wrong with this system?

    What has fair got to do with anything in life - let alone anything related to the AFL?

    Just as the team turned up to play late on Saturday, it might be worth reminding everyone that today is 30th June, not 29th June as per the thread title.

    Not in the universe occupied by the Deez.

    Kozzie's very lucky he can keep escaping suspensions with these low level strikes.

    May did not and should not have copped a suspension. Not sure it warranted the melee.

    And I especially loved that we were at out toughest during this useless melee which resulted in Ainsworth running 40 metred unattended into the easiest goal of his life. (Pathetic)

    He was actually all alone and unattended.

    I'm sure @Ghostwriter enjoyed that game and first quarter performance as those of us who actually care about the direction of the club were disgusted at what we saw in that first quarter, but seeing as losing every week now makes him happy - must've been a great weekend for him

    Doesn’t he though?! He especially luvs him an interstate loss because going home on the plane is such fun! He practically has to sell his body parts on the black market to make the airfare, but it’s sooooo worth it to see such amazing losses.

    Big shoutout to @Deez21 , who’s diving into Ghostwriter like it’s the fourth quarter of a prelim and everything’s on the line. After countless hours poured into the club – cheering, designing, cutt'in 'n' past'in, heavy lifting, driv'in and fly'in and possibly hexing umpires – they are now taking their rightful place in the data trenches. @Ghostwriter's training reports have long held excellent standing on land, and now they're tackling the cloud with the same fierce loyalty and unrelenting accuracy. The club’s spine may wobble, but the target of your venom does not. Love you Ghosty.

    I read Joeboy for a laugh. This kind of wrong-but-bold commentary is often more entertaining than accurate analysis. There’s something delightfully absurd about reducing a players whole game to three words — especially when it's generally hilariously off the mark.

    Yep it’s a real puzzle, Champion Data measures us as the second fastest ball movers in the competition, yet we when we enter our F50, everyone else is already there?

    Carlton's list management is amazing. How the hell did Carlton let Kennedy go?

    He was good at GWS as well. Probably more to do with Voss as coach.

    And even more to the point, how the hell he's not running around with us?

    One difference ... I'm glad we've got Kozzy Pickett and not Jesse Motlop.

    Funny you mention Jesse Motlop. I watched the Carlton game with 2 mates. One's Filth, the other Norf. Ask asked each other the hypothetical question: how many players would you want out of Carlton. at our respective clubs. The Pies guy, who I'm pretty sure is a retired spook, said he wouldn't want any of them near Collingwood. The Norf guy nominated Weeta, Curnow and some c-grader. I nominated about six guys, including Motlop. I might be wrong, but recon he has some serious upside for a 21 year old.

    There are so many parallels between the Deez and Carltank, it's both uncanny and horrifying. Our list is in slightly better shape, but unless we take more radical remedial action on the list, and the FD, we'll be them soon enough. And they are starring into the abyss which is playing centre half-forward and has just kicked its fifth for the quarter.

    I think you could make the argument that this actually goes back to the 2007-2011 list management decisions that left a gap in Max and TMac age demo, which meant instead of having those guys, we had to spend picks on acquiring the May's, Melksham's, Hibberd's.

    So we're still playing catch up with the next generation and it's probably something that will only right itself if we keep making good decisions as we build that next core.

    Wow - I missed this. How many of each did we actually procure?

    ‘Personal issues’ makes me laugh. Who hasn’t got them.

    I can think of 10 Demons @Ethan Tremblay.

    Bailey Fritsch

    Only ever stressed when tackling is mentioned. Emotionally balanced through hair symmetry and low heart rate per goal.

    Judd McVee

    Quiet assassin vibes. Probably journals, reads stoic philosophy, and tackles you when you least expect it.

    Taj

    Resolves all life’s tension by being named Woewodin. Already peaked in footy nostalgia.

    Andy Moniz-Wakefield

    Has five syllables in his name and not a single doubt in his mind about the ‘u’.

    Tommy Mac

    Meditates on defensive rotations and moonlights as a stoic Roman senator.

    Langers

    Processes everything through the lens of “team structures.” Once repressed an emotion mid-forward-half turnover.

    Jake Lever

    Solves stress with intercept marks, pointing, and very detailed family PowerPoint presentations.

    Kossi

    Too elusive for problems to catch him. Last seen ghosting out of trouble while time itself applauded.

    Trac

    His problems aren’t personal, they’re brand-aligned. Bench-presses doubt and his only issue is having too many calves and not enough shorts.

    Tom Campbell

    Played for 14 clubs, dominates February like it’s Grand Final day, then vanishes into folklore.

    Could not agree more

    See Collingwood... adequate but no stars in their ruck or fowards.

    It's all about delivery

    You're pulling our leg right?

    18 hours ago, Diamond_Jim said:

    nope

    Hill was moderately successful and on the market a few years back. His skills are separation, marking and goal kicking. Essentials for a forward but without the excellent delivery he gets he's back in the pack.

    Mihochek ... moderately skilful who maximises his opportunities. Fritsch was better but not the last few seasons.

    Rucks... Cox and Cameron. The latter is improving and is probably about the 6th best in the league but no superstar.

    Grundy was traded because McRae had a view that rucks weren't worth the money. He's probably been proved right. The half backs and the midfield win games these days

    So Jamie Elliot isn't a star? Wow wee, golly gosh.

    I think this and the management of the club have been bigger issues than many on here think.

    ...the club has been run this year by an interim President and interim CEO.

    Not sure how this has been allowed to happen.

    Quite frankly - the Club has been run better since we have had an interim President and CEO. In fact, Green hasn't put a foot wrong. He's presided over the resolution of a bunch of issues that have lingered for years. I'd be more than happy to have him stay on in a 'super-portfolio' role. Something like Minister Without Portfolio But With a Lanyard could work. Alternatively, Life Member of Demonland with the portfolio title of Director of Ritualistic Post-Loss Hand-Wringing.
