Yep and it's not the first time They're a fair way off a great team , but they are running out of spuds for you guys to bag

Was that the Chandler that most of you guys want to drop? Incredible!

Has there ever been a backline that cracks the sheets and points at others more than this mob. Still historically they're very good

Delusional

Better but they have never played with certainty " authority" except against the Doggies in pre history. At leas Kossie has finally taken a classic mark .

Wonderful to see Melk reminding them how kicking it in low and fast is smart

He was critised from goal to goal post on here on a weekly basis until you all suddenly decided you liked him. Mr Petty says hullo A new level of selective memory has been reached

Get him cherry ripe for the Prelim

It would appear so, would it not? You're always a chance against Goodwin's Dee's,even if the appear to be coming back into the game. The anti Collingwood in some ways

This a remarkably intelligent thread, other than the clown who said "overrated". So much so I signed back on board to point out that Viney was " cooked" some years back because of the Clubs appalling record of handling injuries. Jack probably doesn't have a long future even now but gee he's come good . There's no reason Salo can't get back to his A- best and hold a new backline together or set up some forward thrusts. Petty would help with that as well bte , when TMac retires Given that MFC only have one true generational player on their books,surely they keep all the A's ( plus or minus) as long as possible. I' d trade the whole FD before Salo

Oh ffs you guys

People should be cautioned for using that analogy,just as the AFL should be cautioned for appropriating Anzac Day

I don't know about Oliver but May plays the game hard and perhaps realises it's a sporting contest that finishes with the siren

Is he out of contract this year? MFC should throw big money at him

Hopefully the " coach" will leave him back where he's at his best in his sunset season(s). Tom is one injury away from the end, and it must be demoralising to be finishing up in a rubbish team like the one he spent so much time in early on. He's been admirable so far this season

Nice ,until you claim he's the best in the entire competition ..supporting your team doesn't require extreme hyperbole. No I don't know enough of all the other teams to say who is " better" ,but I did say his value to the team just that. He's underrated for sure

Daicos would have just run off Sparrow. ANB ' s value is his commitment to any role he's given Some teams have more than one of those allowing coaching choices

13 pages of opinion on here,mostly predictable, occasionally realistic. It still amazes me though, to still read that we had a moral victory over Carlton last year and that Maynard was the reason we lost to the Pies as if that is correct or even relevant . Maysies statement last year was ill considered, but he is one reason that the dam of clueless unskilled mediocrity hadn't hasnt broken for the last two seasons and they havnt been beaten by a VFL team before Monday. The Pies showed how a good team culture can respond to genuine insults . Personally I feel sorry for Max TMac May Nibbler and especially Todd's boy, Jack. Lever would have been useful on Monday, but probably not enough to change the result The rest are over rated in various ways

It doesn't really matter ,the Cats and Swans ( with the best tap ruckman in the league on fire) are playing in a different universe to Goodwins chaos( rabble) It's up to newer lists with fresh coaching to challenge them Still it's sweet to rewatch the Covid flag from time to time. I just turn it off before Gus and Gawn start talking about dynasties ps Jack was the only one who took it up to Maynard

That's as mad as the " we wuz robbed by the Umps ,AFL and Chris Scott" posts..

Gawn May and Trac out through injury?

Fingers crossed

Yeah I have never doubted his value.I was referring to the regular calls for his delisting until the same folk suddenly decided he was valuable. Petty seems to be getting a version (reversed) of the same nonsense Play Melk up forward and Petty down back and stfu is my theory. TMac stays back until its over.

This time last season the majority call was for him to be desisted. Now he's a saviour ,like Petty!!

The real issue is the back line that has saved the mids and forwards for the last 3 seasons has finally cracked. Geez they've been good but it had to end eventually
