I don't like the way that he has specifically said 'three' I don't know if I am just paranoid or used to it or if I am actually sensing something when I say that I do not think that he seemed overly excited when he was picked up by the Dees. And yes, I am yet to also see the kid smile. Lets hope he makes some buddies at the club.

If you have a few Ferrari's and then you realize you have enough money for a Lamborghini would you buy the lambo? I think I would prefer to spend the money on a house or a boat rather then another car.

Well when you said his more versatile then Dawes, Clark, Pederson and Hogan, can you explain what you meant specifically?

You're pigeon-holing Clark, Dawes, Hogan and Pederson with that comment.

No we shouldn't. We have already spent enough on Clark, Dawes, Hogan and Pederson...

Freo will be all over Franklin like a fat kid and cake.

Imagine that, a few comments from 2009 from people who potentially will not even be at the club next year may effect little Billy's future. Butterfly effect much?

The HUN would have a field day if this were to occur.

With Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Pederson and Fitzy i dont think it would br worthwhile chasing Patton or Cameron

Who the f writes a newspaper article on a job interview from 5 years ago that has no relevance to anything in the current news. Seriously....?????

i didn't say i didn't rate him. I said his over rated and that I would accept a pick sub 20 for him as I don't think his worth more then any player in the top 20 of the draft this year.

Strauss is over rated, always has been. Would trade him for a pick under 20 in a heartbeat.

Cruize Garlett (NM) 23, 32 Pacy midfielder with neat skills who is handy around goals. Too many similar types at North; could thrive if given a starting role.

Only downside is we have a habit of always taking the sh#t brother.

Fining or penalizing the MFC will be the same as fining or penalizing a bum. They ll end up getting it back in welfare payments and charities anyway.

No point penalizing MFC, if they penalize us financially we'll need the AFL to support us financially later on and they'd just give it back. Sames goes for draft picks, if we are penalized, we ll stay at the bottom and in turn just get more better picks later on back from the AFL. It will achieve nothing. The AFL cant remove the MFC either as they need 18 teams to have 9 matches per weekend to satisfy their end of the Tv rights contract. Only way is to target the individuals involved here.

How many threads are we up to now about this. Must be into the double figures.

I miss Vineys Vacuum. That worked like a charm

Love or hate Eddie as you must but at the end of the day I have noticed the guy has always seemed to have a soft spot for the MFC. He has stuck up for us on a few occasions, hasn't threatened us in regards to taking their staff/players as he has done to other clubs and lets us reap the benefits of the Queens Birthday Clash. People say he does this as one day he will need the favors returned but if he did then why wouldn't he be like this to every club? I don't think I have ever seen the guy stick up for another club besides ours before (even though we have taken several staff/players)

How are people including Schwab in all this. I think his done a great job. Most reports here only seem to indicate that it was Chris Connolly pushing the 'tanking' and not Schwab.

Ok all, lets be honest about this. We have fuc#ed up. Their is way to much evidence now to deny it. I have re framed from posting some cheeky comments so far due to the severity of this and as a supporter I do not like it. My take on this is that Chris Connolly is the fool who brought this upon the MFC. It seems he instigated it, drove it and pushed it. Sure in his mind it was the best for the MFC but look where we are now. Players and coaches both opposed this idea and because of that the MFC should not be penalised. Chris Connolly should be the only one penalized here as it was not a MFC decision to tank as a whole but rather a few individuals within the club. Their was no vote or agreence in the MFC to push the 'tank' therefore they cannot hold the MFC as a whole to contempt on this one and it would not be right to do so. It would be the equivalent of a Safeway store manager assaulting someone in a store. Safeway as a whole would not go down for that, just the individual.

I forgot about that, how MFC players are not allowed to laugh on camera. Shame on Watts.

Trengove lost his thunder thighs?

So according to Caro Wilson, players hyping each other up at 3/4 time to try win the game is tanking....oooookaaay then... Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
