    No I'm an overweight 75 year old wadling around in a MFC jumper with number 6 on the back. This is pathetic and I expected better from you

    My reply was in response to a question.I dont need to justify it. I did like your notion of nuance in language and the possibilities that it present. I find some of what I have called conflation embarrassing, but it doesn't matter much to me . I am content with watching them play and supporting their efforts.Apparently unlike the supporters on the balcony vs the Lions who were abusing the players( our team) 10 minutes into the first quarter. Summary ..Carry on ,I didn't raise the issue and I'm happy to watch them play ,appreciating their skills and courage. The "us and them " nonsense around here is sometimes embarrassing and childish though. At least outside of the coaches motivational instructions. Vicarious triumph and despair is for fat Presidents who imagine they could/ should have been a player . I was a little like that in 64 without any of the qualifications you list.

    Yeah something like that, I joined Ology around the Neeld era and remembered greater competitive spirit, commitment and results from the glory years of my youth. I have never seen a need to change it even though most of those matters are now irrelevant . Numbers 6 , 9 , and 31 still belong to that era for me emotionally I do remember a power Club off the field though and a genuine rivalry with Collingwood as a primary issue. Off course that's just a teenage memory I seem to share with similarly aged mates who support Collingwood .

    The Melbourne Football Club . Conflating the Team with its supporters is like sixteen year old girls dressing up as Taylor Swift

    He's been underrated as part of a cohesive backline team ,how he goes in the chaos of the Melbourne forward line is uncertain ,given the small sample. Either way they'll miss him

    I have a life as well as supporting the MFC But apparently if Kossie hadn't been suspended 3 times he might have got off with a fine.!!
  7. IRW
    Are you still talking about this? Wow
  8. IRW
    Yeah I meant to suggest that Petty will up his defensive game over the coming weeks as he gets game fit. They have to kick it to Brown not just lob it forward as in the past.
  9. IRW
    Petty will get better,Brown can lead and mark and kick straight if they kick it to him. JVR is apparently the future and has to ruck and compete at against bigger bodies down forward,which is poor. Fritsch is defensively lazy ,probably doesn't even know what the word means but is the leading goal kick from marks and opportunist positioning. Who arnt you going to pick? BoneonBone BBB probably needs the bye more than anyone and with proper management possibly shouldn't have played on Thursday. He will likely be the sacrifice for AFL stupid and irresponsible fixturing
  10. IRW
    Surely as part of a previous elite backline team we can expect more pressure from Petty ,but which of the other three doesn't get a game according to your thinking? Presumably Brown, who can lead mark and kick straight!!!
  11. IRW
    Oh please stop fighting ...Kossie isn't a thug( or Williams) he's getting suspended for undisciplined and unnecessary minor infractions that a few years back ,when he started, probably would pass unnoticed I said to the first posturing response " choose your adjective. " :undisciplined, careless, unnecessary, wasteful.?? Then mentioned his genius with ground balls..suspension is wasting his talent and contributions. Now go away
  12. IRW
    I know he's been rubbed out three times . That's enough to form an reasoned opinion
  13. IRW
    Of course if you were paying attention to what I wrote you would note I balanced my frustration/ criticism with his genius in the ground ball mix. I doubt he' d be going back to Casey,hes too important for that,more likely the leadership group would be pointing out that he needs to not be missing games through lack of discipline. Still, carry on with your MFC can do no wrong polemic and no critical opinions should be voiced.

    The Transition

    IRW replied to rpfc's topic in Melbourne Demons

    Go to the naughty corner you said Maynard was a " great" defender not a serial offender,a thug who should be charged and banned forever . Everything else was interesting though.
  15. IRW
    Has he just come back from suspension for a tackle? Maybe it was just the bias against MFC. Get real pal, none of us know anything first hand and we can only post opinions based on what we see
  16. IRW
    I watch him play. I don't know whether he makes his bed or washes the dishes at home. He regularly jumps at impossible marks rather than being waiting at the bottom of the pack. He jumps into body contact " tackles" when apparently Maynard should be in jail. Choose your own adjective. I see" playing on the edge"s the go to club talk ," he's still "working on it" apparently". Thanks for your interest
  17. IRW
    Just give it rest. Kozzi is undisciplined whether it's "tackle/ bumps " or ridiculous leaps at impossible balls. On the ground and in the mix he's a genius
  18. IRW
    They look pretty user friendly to me. The abuse seems to coming from the internet
  19. IRW
    MacDonald continues with commitment
  20. IRW
    Brian Taylor useless facile mistakes Brian Taylor reads from script
  21. IRW
    Obviously they need to improve; its looking like a red hot season and no weaknesses can be allowed
  22. IRW
    He's regularly pretty careless about many aspects of his game. Which is a pity because he can do "stuff"
  23. IRW
    Yes they can do it. The test is whether the FD can marshal the structure so they do. Same next week. This is a big test very early in the season. They need to win one at least and be in the game in the other at worst
  24. IRW
    Only similarity with Swift is the moves come with 30+ others on the stage. Jake's arnt scripted ,rehearsed on scheduled
  25. IRW
    To be fair Levers legs are a constant worry ,as are Mays for that matter. Both need mobility and closing speed as part of their excellence package. Paranoia is also part that package I reckon
