Ridiculous suggestion. He is a good ordinary VFL player but a fair way off AFL standard. If Josh Wagner was B Grade then Mitch is C+.

Interesting. So at which Club exactly did Williams coach Goodwin ?

Pack a warm sleeping bag, one man tent & air mattress & camp at Uluru - its cheap & great atmosphere. Alice is easy to walk around & u will find plenty of art galleries. Not many flies at that time of year.

This is speculative nonsense - what is a father/son academy anyway and who has one ??? Pretty sure Joel chased a basketball career early on and wasn't interested in football. And who is Bill Laurie anyway ?

You sound like a politician. You said they traded Tyson for Ben Brown & you were wrong.

I've watched Baker closely the last 2 games & have been impressed. Reckon he is ready to go. In any other year he would b in the firsts.

Yes he has - go and listen to them again - its hard to hear the reporters' questions. In fact in one presser he replies that he will not go into the backline ever and in another he says he will not go to the wing.

Wrong - Tyson was traded for Brayden Preuss. Brown was traded for a 2nd round pick.

Goodwin has made it clear at his pressers that Tom M is playing great footy up forward & is NOT going to a wing.

You are correct - he has effectively been on the list 1 year. I reckon he needs to show something by the end of the year to get renewed.

Pretty sure it was a common occurrence in bygone days. Mark Jackson had a season with Richmond ressies, topped the goalkicking in the comp but couldn't get a senior game. Same with Allen Jackovich early at Melb & I recall a Dees reserves player called Louis Tesoriero in the 70's kicking a swag but not getting a senior game.

The problem is that the coach just LURVES ANB & Melksham & they both get treated better than some of the other players.

Watched the whole Casey game & both Toby & Chandler impressed. Toby was a bit quieter in 2nd half. If they keep that form up both will be in the firsts before too long.

I thought Daw's ruck work was solid all game.

Ah SWYL - The Hanging Judge - predictable comments. Can you provide evidence that his offences deserved jail. No doubt you would have given Liam Jurrah 10 years in the slammer for his indiscretions. I happen to believe in redemption & 2nd chances. I have no reason to doubt his sincerity & am sorry he retired. I guess you never stuffed up in your 20's.

A shame for mine. He claims to have genuine regret for his actions. I would have liked to see him become a spokesman & educate young players coming into the system on how to relate to women properly.

No, no no no no. Dunno why Demonlanders keep on about this. If you had watched lots of him at Casey as I have you would know he is a natural defender. I doubt he will ever play forward again.

Almost perfect summary there CF. I would add his silly boycott of Caroline Wilson for her critical comments but generally has been a pretty decent Chairman.

Ridiculous claim. Only Tom Mc, Kozzie & Fritta have the potential to be elite. Our defence, ruck & mids are elite our fwd line is not.

Please explain ! Do you want equality of opportunity or equality of outcome ? They are very different things.

The majority of Presidents and CEO's I have seen at the MFC have been average plodders with a few complete farc ups and the very odd outstanding ones. If Kate turns out to be a competent plodder I'll be happy.

Finest ??? I don't think so. He could kick a long, long way when he got onto one but could be very wayward with his accuracy.

I think you're having an existential crisis so good luck sorting it out.

Dieter you are all over the shop jumping from one thing to another & always avoiding any question you are asked. Please go & look up epistemology, logic and the basics of providing evidence for your arguments. I just hope you never serve on a jury.
