Nowhere near Brisbane..you're kidding yourself. Everyone in the top half can have a win..its winning when it's tough or when it matters that makes a genuine Premiership team. Both those sides also beat Melbourne this year...and how does the record vs Carlton fit into your rather childish argument

They could give it to BT ,apparently he's an expert( at least he thinks so,) and it would get him off the TV as well

What if they kick 2 goals 5 in the first quarter ( with 2 out on the full)?

So I heard..I also heard the Cats were interested in Grundy. What I didn't hear was any rumours of MFC trying to work with the Cats and Ratogolea. Maybe S.A is "home"? ..I was just puzzled and then I hear that MFC is getting a 182 cm forward ! We may as well resign ourselves to TMac and BBB waxing injury time for another 12 months #fmd

Why are they " definitely "getting a 182 cm Crow forward and not Ratogalea? 195 minimum who has good hands. .PLEASE...pretty please #fmd

Plead with BBB to call injury and tell TMac he's not playing in the ones and buy him out.

You are quibbling about adjectives? How about the attitude of the players? I remember them boasting about a dynasty before they even got off the ground after winning the flag !! It was presumptuous then ; embarrassingly revealing of their immaturity and they don't seem to have either grown, or smartened , up by now. Dumb,immature, fragile,chokers,naive without poise or confidence...who cares what they are called ? RDB would be pointing out its not whether youre the best or most talented that is relevant,it's whether you bring your own best to the team that will make a winning team. The last two years actually flatter them

Its not practice ..they slot them in the pre game. It's poise under the pressure of the game. I would apologise to Hibbo ..and possibly Grundy..except he's had chilled year running back to form and fitness at a lower level on a good wage

I think he was really implying pack marking attempts which seems to be Kossi 's speciality. And I mean attempts; I wonder if he holds them at training ,like the forwards slot goal after goal in the pre game warm up

That's what I'm hoping for. I'd enjoy watching GWS eviscerate the Magpies first though

No point in having a key forward if you don't kick it to him on a lead or when he's just one on one without a small forward or a ruckman jumping all over him

Well it seemed stupid unprofessional and unnecesary timing at the time. He probably deserves 2 more years but still...! Who's running this sheet show?

Surely they are still hoping for at least one more piwer marking forward given they have two that arnt anywhere near best 22 any more.

I wish he was...he certainly should be but we will have to wait until next season now because he's totally irrelevant again

Well Petty looked ok in the 3 or 4 games he played forward ,I'll give you that. He's been great down back with Salo ,Pig , Jake,Maysie and Riv I don't understand why they weren't chasing Ratogalea..they could have given Grundy to Port and got a big bodied swing man from Geelong Somehow? Win win

Hunt definitely did not want to leave and Bedford was not getting game time because the coach wouldn't play him. It's called pretty simple equation. MFC is treacle slow and Kossi spends a lot of time quickly chasing defenders but too is late to catch them . It looks ridiculous and is a waste of his undoubted talents

I'd suggest their game plan is actually the problem and it has been exposed . The defence is supreme which keeps them in the games. There was meant to be a tweak in the early season but it went back to the habitual bash and hoof it long and high pretty quick . Why didn't the FD put their foot down? I haven't questioned the players effort,courage or commitment.

Maynard will play just the way he plays..its a pity he and Gus arnt both Demons,or that Viney isn't 192 cms( that would be better)

Your " facts" are full of clairvoyant nonsense. They list becsuse of multiple fact...ors; the primary one was that they weren't good enough . I agree the Pies arnt good enough either...they beat a bashed up MFC by only 7 points!! What they did do last season was show how to attack the goal with speed ,skill and a running pattern that could provide a random player appearing free on the fat side to attack goal. And they hold there structure and plan regardless which is why they win the ones. I think Brisbane has developed a more complete team and will beat GWS at the G in a couple of weeks. Mostlt injury free pretty much like MFC in 21 If your good enough you win Melbourne as of now

"If it's to be its up to me"

And tossed out Hunt to make MFC the slowest team in the AFL

Yeah I actually meant to write "learning"
