Recruiters are paid for foresight.

If MFC supporters don't think we stuffed up they're compelling fools.

I have the answer. Is there a prize ?

Happy to disagree. Dawes, Hogan, Howe, Fitzpatrick, Kennedy-Harris and perhaps a Viney or Kent can test most opposition defences. CLEARLY I'm referring to injury free players. Crocks won't test anyone.

In English ?

I should be honoured to be so enlightened.

How come Matthew Richardson was able to play a further 160 games following the exact injury ?

It's a good point you make. We actually have a pretty shallow injury list. It just happens to contain our 3 valuable tall forwards. I won't factor Clark any more and look forward to Dawes and Hogan, who along with Howe, JKH, Kent and perhaps Fitzpatrick can still provide a potent forward-line.

About what ?

Bad die young, good die young, bad die old, good die old.

Child abuse. I'm not surprised.

Unlike some of you, I can't get excited about Fitzpatrick. Or Watts for that matter.

Where has it been mentioned that his running style has changed ? I'm not saying it hasn't, just that I don't recall hearing it from the club.

Yes, that's why i included it. Obviously.

Supposedly he's recently done a calf. I don't see how that reflects your earlier comments.

One of the posters here changed to the Tiges after he was banned for a year.

This has been answered ad nauseum. His foot is fine, it's other parts of his leg getting used to increased and foreign workloads. His legs are now susceptible to soft tissue injuries until they strengthen.

Ta.

I too reckon he's overrated. The year he made AA he didn't come top 10 in his B&F. That said, I reckon he'd rather drink acid than play for us. Also, there's no way he'd contemplate leaving West Coast. He loves the place. And it would be a tad embarrassing when we could have had him. On many fronts this is a disastrous suggestion.

Some do change and others just lose all interest. I couldn't be critical of anyone deserting this pathetic identity.

Of course.

Michie or Matt Jones ? I prefer Michie's grunt. That said, Matt Jones has improved at every level he's been tried at over his long journey and is handy.

Aaron Fiora had great skills, but was a crap footballer. AFL footy is about winning contested footy. Give me someone who is a beast, wins contests and makes good decisions, over a skillful more timid type any day of any week every year. Btw, I'm not saying Toumpas will be a "Fiora". But I am saying... If Melbourne chose Wines instead of Toumpas and he had the same output at Melbourne in his first year there wouldn't be a solitary poster arguing for Toumpas instead of Wines. What does that tell me ? I can't take seriously the bias crap I read on here.

It may be wishful thinking, but I reckon there's still a real chance Roos will get the "bug" and decide to lengthen his stay.
