  1. The whole tragedy thing is absurd. The "High draft pick ruined by going to a dysfunctional Club" melodrama is pure BS. Lots of good players get picked by struggling Clubs & still succeed. Jack had his problems but eventually became a good player for us. If he had come to 2017 pre season better prepared instead of unfit he would now be a 200 plus game premiership player. Where he ended up was entirely of his own making.
  2. Some rewriting of history going on here by some posters. He actually got it together by 2016 & had become a really key player. Unfortunately he turned up for the 2017 pre season in poor shape & Goodie lost faith in him & his fate was sealed.
  3. I actually have nothing to say.
  4. I'm almost getting nostalgic for Colin Flaubert's long winded historical lectures on morality 😴
  5. And you can't get away with Steven Clark on the half back flank.
  6. Thought you previously posted your last one ever
  7. And provided us with an endless supply of moralising serial windbags 🤪
  8. Robert was good & had a couple of great years for us. Was picked for the state side while he was with us.
  9. Not by me. Outstanding footballer.
  10. Stevie Johnson for me or maybe Jack Gunston.
  11. About time Casey gets a decent ruckman. Its cost them 1 or 2 premierships.
  12. Every time there was a selection to be made Goodie & the BT took the conservative, stick to what has worked, option. There was a lack of boldness in our selections. Grundy & Woewodin should have played.
  13. Hate to agree with someone referencing Tucker Carlson but spot on. Binmans post was total psychobabble, an impenetrable word salad worthy of the worst management speak. In any case a contract is a contract - both parties pay their money & take their chances. However I would be surprised if BBB plays next year.
  14. Campbell Brown may be despicable but he is quiet right A sad, bitter, straight sets exit . We need to respond through actions not talk.
  15. Yes spot on looked really terrific early on but went backwards.
  16. Classic Demonland hijack. Spargo v Picket has turned into Why did we let Hunt & Bedford leave 🤔.
  17. Spargos first instinct is invariably to look to pass to someone in a better position and secondly to have a shot on goal whereas Kossies first instinct is to kick a goal and secondly to pass off. I love Kossie & he is such a great snap that I can usually forgive him but if he is to grow as a player & the forward line improve he needs to look to review this aspect of his game.
  18. Stay strong Daniel and hang in there. You've shown great courage. Hopefully the AFL, MFC or Players Association will provide support. Good luck.
  19. Made an outstanding contribution to MFC, AFL football and the nation.
  20. A pretty shallow article. Injuries, suspensions & form means we don’t have a lot of options.
  21. Anyone else find it odd that 3 of the 4 quickest players on the list left - Baker , Bedford & Hunt.
  22. Talent is important but its essential to have tough nuts with a dash of mongrel like Bernie Vince, Nev Jetta & now Hibbo. An absolute favourite. He will be missed.
  23. Certainly talented & has that x factor. Not sure he is the most team oriented player going - seems a tad hungry but then again maybe that's not a bad thing in a forward.
  24. Amazing what you can find out on Demonland.
  25. I understand that but it still baffles me. Imagine if Steven May insisted that his surname be pronounced My or Petty insisted that his surname be pronounced Pet-tie.
