  1. 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.
  2. Campbell Brown may be despicable but he is quiet right A sad, bitter, straight sets exit . We need to respond through actions not talk.
  3. Yes spot on looked really terrific early on but went backwards.
  4. Classic Demonland hijack. Spargo v Picket has turned into Why did we let Hunt & Bedford leave 🤔.
  5. 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.
  6. Stay strong Daniel and hang in there. You've shown great courage. Hopefully the AFL, MFC or Players Association will provide support. Good luck.
  7. Made an outstanding contribution to MFC, AFL football and the nation.
  8. A pretty shallow article. Injuries, suspensions & form means we don’t have a lot of options.
  9. Anyone else find it odd that 3 of the 4 quickest players on the list left - Baker , Bedford & Hunt.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Amazing what you can find out on Demonland.
  13. 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.
  14. How on earth do you get doo day. I'll always pronounce it dough - dee
  15. Clearly some people feel threatened by democratic processes at play.
  16. Think its a bit unfair on Jack W. Watching old Dees highlights of the last 10 years recently I was pleasantly surprised at how many times JW was instrumental at winning in close finishes. His kicking was a weapon. Also apart from a form dip he established himself as a regular A grader whereas JS after several years & 3 clubs is still a B grader.
  17. He was unlucky. He was in good form & Goodie actually talked him up at a presser. Unfortunately he injured his knee & missed a month or so at the same time Clarry got injured & that ruined his chances.
  18. Another Tom Mitchell, accumulates a lot of possessions but doesnt hurt you.
  19. Bit of a worry that in such a belting Jefferson only had 4 touches & Adams 2 touches.
  20. Every generation says pretty much the same thing. Despite our protestations we all end up emulating our parents & grandparents 🤯
  21. Come on gang whats happening. Friday evening & no information provided. I'm going spare !!!
  22. Not quiet sure what you're saying. I've given 3 examples of premiership coaches where the Clubs signed up the coaches for long deals and later regretted it. If the Club had waited until mid 2024 it would have made a more informed decision.
  23. Totally untrue. Melbourne was pondering whether to reappoint him or not so he jumped ship. It was the right decision. Richmond had a premiership coach in Robert Walls coming back to Melbourne & were keen to get him. Northey got wind of it & jumped ship.
  24. Not relevant - Richmond had Walls who was a premiership coach in the wings so were fine with Northey going while Geelong finished 11th in 1999 & Cats rightly refused to extend Ayers beyond 2000 so he left.
  25. They all thought they were smart at the time - later on not so much
