In Early May I saw him at training and thought he was over weight Barney. Also seemed to have little stamina / desire in the running drills. 

OD, You at training?  You must be bored with retirement!

Yeah, if that's accurate he could probably do with losing 8-10kgs, particularly if he wants to play midfield.

Eating way too much pasta!

4 umpires and they still can't umpire a fair game.

The problem is we cant beat top 8 teams at the G

our 4 losses Cats at the G, Hawks at the G, Tiges at the G and now Pies at the G.

At least 3 of them are co tenants the 4th we should have won.

So based on that is if they are not co tenants then we have a chance.

Our away including Etihad have been unbeatable.

So if we make the finals lets hope we don't play Hawks, Tiges & Pies at the G.

Does the club have membership sign up booths at games?

I don't recall ever seeing one (although the last MFC game I was at before moving 1800km away was a long time ago).

If they don't, they should, and have sign up bonuses, like a free hat or beanie or scarf.

"Paywave your card here and you're signed up and here's a hat if you do"

 

Timbo. Yes we have Marquees out side gate 3. They do have Eftpos machines to make payments.

Are you a member,? If not go online and book a country membership. or a 3 game membership.

It all adds to the numbers.

Try not to disturb existing players from the roles they are currently playing.

They are doing this with their eyes closed at the moment.

I have read that the only open day of training is on Friday.

I believe that the day/s of closed training will have 3 guys playing levers role.

The one who does this the best gets the nod.

The 3 who are in the box seat are Frost, Smith and Wagner.

If Tim Smith doesn't pull up well, Pedo should be his replacement, although having a Weideman playing against them again could be good.

Billy Stretch has been BOG 3 out of the past 4 games in the VFL (although a shocking kick, unless he has ironed that out.)

So if someone needs a rest he is a good replacement.

I bet when the finals come around he will say. I picked them at the start of the year.

He wont tell you he slammed them  after Rd. 4 and never to make the finals.

Do you reckon after knocking off Those Pies, we will get to 45,000?

Lever

If we win the big one this year.

He will retire

NO CHANGE.

Unless there are late injuries during the week.

This has to be the most ridiculous post in many years.  I just can’t imagine what sort of meaningless life one would have to lead to allow such an insignificant comment by a sports journalist that has to fill 19 hours of microphone time per week to upset them in the slightest. 

Don't reply then

If we lose to to either the Suns or the Blues I think we will be under serious pressure.

We have played stop start football at best and the rest of the games this round are rather ho hum.

Sound like Gerard is on the money... and he is a very astute observer or so I found him when listening to him over the years.

Typical of a lot of Dees supporters. No confidence in the club. Go along to training and see how much they have improved.

They are getting to the stage where they know how to win. They are learning to play 4 qts. of football. Do any of the journos go and watch the various teams train. Robbo goes to Essendon and asks how things are going. Whately rings up someone at the club and asks if everything is fine. Does Whately ever go to clubs and inspect how the team is coached in tackling. He just makes his own mind up about anything and expects the world to believe him.

ive read this twice and have no idea what your point is

he rated us as top 8 and now changed his mind based on our performances? and he should not have?

You obviously never watched AFL 360 tonight.

Geelong play Collingwood. The Cats have far more to lose if they are beaten by the pies.

Yes Melbourne have something to lose, but to lose to a team that was almost beaten by Brisbane (winless).

Is  far more to lose than the Dees to lose to Suns. ( which wont happen)

Mods,

Why is a plural for young Cats banned as a censored word when cant's is allowed

Well, that’s probably down to opinion.

The way I see it is that he confident, assured and articulate.  Some may see that as arrogance, and that’s fair enough.

The egocentric commentators seek to sensationalise, exaggerate, crack in jokes, make up nicknames, laugh hysterically at their own jokes and treat the viewers/listeners like they’re fools.

Basically Brian Taylor and all his ‘mates’.

We are talking about Whately, we are not comparing him to others.

It does make sense if you happen to listen to his carp.

Whatley is one of the best commentators going around and possesses a very football brain.  He certainly knows his stuff and has the ability to communicate this without ego or fanfare.

He and SEN aren’t a great fit though imho.  Commercial drive-time radio calls upon a different skill set.  

ABC grandstand and the Offsiders haven’t been the same without him.

Whately does not have a football brain. He is all about Whately. His EGO is skyhigh.

Gus has always been a great player, a couple of years ago I said Jack V. and Gus would be the (c) & (vc) of the club

His concussions put Gus back a bit, but he is now getting back to his best.

Trac has always had a tank problem, he is lazy. If someone can put a cracker up his arse we may have a top player.

I was at Etihad when a few players came out to do a bit of goal kicking practice.

Trac was not doing set kicking for goals. He was more interested in snap kicking. His ratio of kicking goals was 1: 5.

Eventually he kicked a goal from a set kick from 40m and scraped in past the goal post.

I gave him the 2 thumbs up and he returned it.

He then walked off into the clubrooms.

His field kicking is just as bad. he doesn't practice his craft as much as he should.

I have been Watching this moron on Foxtel, and listening to his diatribe on SEN for all of 2018.

I have also been watching him on FOXTEL in AFL360 for several years.

This year he has outgrown his own brains.

He now thinks he owns and runs the AFL.

From a guy that has not played decent football, but now thinks he is a football guru, is beyond me.

Earlier this year he stated he picked Melbourne for a Top 8.

Round 1, yes we lost a game we could have won (Against his team GEELONG)

Round 2 we won against the Lions (no comment )

Round 3  We won against the Roos (no comment)

Round 4 We lost against Hawks ( agreed a bad game ) (his comments were we couldn't make the the Top 8)

Round 5 we lost against Tigers (we were with the top team for 3 1/2 quarters)

Round 6 we  demolished the bombers (no comment)

Round 7  we demolished the aints ( no comment)

Round 8 The Dees have the most to lose this weekend. ( sorry Gerard Your Precious [censored] has more to lose than us Demons)

GERARD GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE AND START LOOKING OUT OF BOTH EYES.  (MORON No. 1)

If Viney is fit to play football, then he is fit to play AFL. 

He knows how to play football, he is not a fringe player.

We almost have a full healthy list, someone has to make way for the skipper.

I would bring him in this week, get an AFL game or 2  under his belt so he is cherry ripe for the Crows game.

We haven't beaten a  2017 top 8 side this year. Adelaide has got to be our first scalp.

Surprisingly we haven't lost to a 2017 bottom 8 side.

Now if Viney comes in who does he compete with. 

FIIK?

Out:

Kent : Injured.... replace with Pederson

Harmes : omitted....... replace with Frost (we need his Height and speed to go against Daniher )

Garlett : Times up....... Replace with Spargo

Stretch : Good VFL......replace with Oskar Baker

ANB : Lost form.......replace with Fritsch

Now I know you say what about Lewis. If it wasn't for his hand injury he would have been dropped.

Jetta is still carrying an injury. who do you replace him with, our defence is 3 old players who are carrying injuries and 3 young ones who are still learning their craft.

We are now in deep DOO DOO's

We still stand a chance against the Bombers, they are just as bad.
