Wells 11

I still feel like if he’d taken it to the members we could have made it happen. He wouldnt have had to do it on his own. Anyway, that opportunity ( and it’s the best we’ve ever had) has come and gone. no use crying over it all these years later.

same same...and he missed a chance to give the club a home.

Been said already, but Howes was excellent and Windsor looked at home. We've blooded two beauties there. On a dry day they are both going to look even better.

i don’t know what happened but i’m surprisingly absent of MFCSS ….and that doesn’t happen often. The dees to put a number of media ghouls back in their boxes. GO DEES!

Everyone around him would be telling him he did nothing wrong....and they won a flag and everyone's feeling great down there. So it may not be on the surface right now. But there would be a little voice in his head where he knows what he did and those little voices tend to never go away do they.

Thoughts on verall? could he step up this year? if not it’s shache.

demonland is practicing too. already goodwin is the wrong guy and we’re hopeless. great warm up!

Anyone with any real news about the actual injury or injuries?

wait…. he has nerve related issue on his OTHER foot as well as a lisfranc? i’m confused. Anyone with any info here?

I wasn’t aware there was competition. Worst news I’ve heard in a while as the dees don’t usually win much head to head with other clubs. AFL or another code?

Intersting. On the positive it helps get us funding… and that’s a real and brilliant outcome. But, if I’m reading you right, the thorn in the roses of this idea is that CFC magically gets the go ahead to build a stadium for their woman’s team at Godches? This when we couldn’t get [censored] done there. As good as I think Caulfield will be I may have to stab myself every time I pass Goschs if it becomes a cfc stadium. If it was a neutral venue ie The home of woman’s footy and we were a founding member, that’s one thing. But what’s the likliehood of that.

Sadly I think this may be the truth. Whatever it is...I hope we as a club prioritise his health over short term playing goals. Clarry back and healthy in 2025 would still be a good outcome.

A year for feasibility? sheesh.

I guess this is the real question. Hope you’re right!

Good run down thanks. As another bonus perhaps everyone who joins the gym has a Melbourne membership built in.

that dismal huh… 😞

I’m a total nuff on this kind of thing. But what exactly does an announcement about the go ahead for a feasibility study mean in real terms? explain it like i’m 5. Or, explain it in relational terms. i’m dating someone new. …. where am I at in this relationship?

respect djr. That’s pedigree.

Greg Parke and Greg Wells visited the primary school I was at bk in 1970 when I was 10. Greg Wells smiled at me and patted me on the head. That was my fate sealed .. the laying on of hands was complete…the curse officially laid.

it’s quite glaring isn’t it. I can’t help but think it’s going to invite shoulder and or neck injuries at AFL level …and his time there may be limited. I’m guessing at that and hope i’m wrong but It’s hard to get excited about him for this reason.

Kudos to Trac and the boys who joined him. Wonder who was there? shache, Salo, spargs… any others?

Haven’t read this whole thread so apologies if I’m repeating. We get a 10 day break between opening round and round 1 so that’s handy. We also get an extra bye thrown in in the first 7 weeks somewhere…reckon that’s handy in a long season too. We also get the massive publicity of being the first game of the season. Surely this a decent win fr the club!

hmm… like if we can get Viney no need to pick wines?

The blues also just got v lucky didn’t they. a ridiculous number of Finger tip touches ( or lack of them) going their way, missed kicks by the opposition ( Eg viney) and keeping concussed players illegally on the ground all conspired to get them a good finish. We, in some weird equal and opposite $hitfull measure, were SO unlucky. eg devastating late season injuries , suspensions, missed goals in finals , umpiring decisions. Perhaps “ the burn” you describe can bring some magic back into our luck factor? Despite the press pile on and all the off field dramas, in reality there was precious little between us and a flag in 23. Mere inches. So if “burning” in the off season can seduce the football gods to care about us again or even just lift the bad juju then bring it on.

I dont even bother reading these [censored] now. Its the off season there's no news stories but this one...but soon it will be replaced but something/ someone else. The media spotlight gets brighter, more dangerous for the individuals involved and more pathetic each year. I refuse to listen to Barrett and Cornes any more...I'll only put down that ban if we ever win another flag,
