I cant beleive Toumpas is being touted as the next Robbie Flower in this thread.....ffs the kid hasnt even played a game of AFL footy yet. Would be almost as bad as the Morton being the next Goodes comparison we once saw

Twist it anyway you like. Whatever makes you happy.

Worst trade ever. Should have kept Gysberts

Think he should be put into VFL for the year playing how he did today.

Sick of hearing people blame the umps. They say it like theyr is a conspiracy to make the dees lose by giving frees to the other team. The reason we get less frees is because we are always 2nd to the ball. If our players were always first to the ball those free stats would look completely different.

Non stop excuses from mfc supporters. End of the day we lost with a reasonable team. Going to be another long year.

If only it was viewable on a screen

Think they are saying theyd prefer him to get to the ball first and have 8 kicks instead of 8 tackles

I am assuming not since nobody replied about coverage in a thread about coverage

No Viney is a bit odd. Is he ok?

Any radio coverage?

The biggest problem with Jordy opposed to other players is that he cannot go on the offense. Big rule of thumb is that when opponent has the ball, you tag, chase and tackle. - Jordie gets a tick here Other half is that when we have the ball that you run, create space, get free, do sharp kicks and push the ball forward - Jordie doesn't get a tick here. He is only playing half a game at the moment, we need players who can play both ways in our midfield otherwise we are always going to be a man down when we go on the attack/

I think teams will need bigger lists, players will need more time cpming back from injury due to more time needed to rebuild fitness base. Also more injuries may occur as coaches may be more reluctant to pull players off at any tiny hunch that they have hurt themselves. I remember, think it were 2 years ago that Freo almost ran out of players to even field a team because of injuries.

Will be hard for young teams to even compete, they ll be run off theyre feet. Would hate to be a player performing the 2014 pre season at any club.

It's not the names on the board that is the issue, its what those names are doing on the field.

I dont remember it but it said in an article in theage today that he kicked 5 last year against Collingwood in dubai. If he did that and then went on to have the season he did in 2012, then I wouldn't get to excited about him kicking 5 against Port Adelaide's fringe players.

how is this allowed?

Maybe they will pay him that 500k they fined us for not being guilty of tanking

Every player must tag when opponent has the ball. If he doesnt expect Jones to do this then I will question his coaching abilities. My point being is that Jones can play both ways, Mckenzie cannot.

How did M Jones play? Did he play? I didn't hear any feedback about his game.

No stress, it is an online forum so its all part of the fun and games that comes with being a poster.

Maybe his just hanging around in his own free time

We were never successful with Moloney in the club and while alot of you may dis-agree with me and probably curse me for saying this, I have always thought that Moloney was a cancer in the club. With his bully like antics, and way he went about things I do not think he grew on many young players to well. I am hoping now that he is gone that our boys get much more confidence to do things without being yelled at.

Royal is replaceable
