    I understand why we brought in a forward/ruckman but perplexed why we didn't go for someone like a Mabior Chol who had actually proven he can play at AFL level.

    I never supported the Fullerton recruitment right from the very start, but I thought there were opportunities to bring him into the senior side this year purely for JVR to focus fully on being a key forward and to actually give Max a proper chop out. 

    The past few weeks Max has looked tired and it's a concern that we are running him onto the ground with minimal support.

    Had to bring someone in to cover for that spider they got from the Pies

    Absolute trash. 
    Last week the commentators said Kolt was acting when he was hit from behind by Zorko. 
    If he played for Melbourne he’d be shot down by every “supporter” and the media for carrying on like a pork chop. 

    I didn't mention the commentator's

    Of course he may mature and get better, but he has coaches and teammates who should tell him to stay humble and focused. 
    If he was a Melbourne player our fans would be picking on his attitude, as would the media. 

    There’s no doubt he’s a very talented player, but football is a team game and when your team is getting pantsed, you need to put your head down and do the work. Not go around arguing with umpires and picking fights. 

    If he was a Melbourne player the fans would be loving it and saying he was being targeted

    Reid is clearly going to be an amazing player, but his attitude and arrogance is pretty poor. 

    Probably he can walk the talk  and don't argue with the critics.

    He may mature and get a lot better don't you think?

    Forwards provided leads 😁😁

    Forwards sought out space and overlaps 😁😁

    Backs dispersed for clearances 😁😁

    Set shot shooters generally increased their run-up delivery distances 😁😁

    The wisdom of Demonland persistence to demand youth exposure to the team worked profitably 😁😁

    Great outcomes that stunned the Weagles.

     

    Good points until you mentioned who they were up against

    Chandler was very serviceable. What great ground coverage to advantage.

    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

    Good win especially when the youngsters were the better players. Still big question marks over Oliver and Sparrow, as well as our backline.

    Bring on the Injectors next week.

    Has there ever been a backline that cracks the sheets and points at others more than this mob.

    Still historically they're very good

    So that's 3 goals each for the quarter, 4 sitters missed, very disappointing since we need the percentage.

    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 .

    Going off MFC socials, Jake will be playing this week. 
     

    I’ve never heard a bad word against this man. When he grabbed the Freo jumper that said ‘Jackson’ a couple years ago and threw it on the ground, it really struck me how much he cares about the jumper and his understanding of what club culture means.

    Have a cracker game Jake. 

    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

    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

    Gee you guys just don't get it, Yes NOTHING like a real war, but a war waged on a footy field, war like footy conditions, tough, brutal, if ya dont get what I'm trying to say then forget it. 

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

    Psychologically we are. 

    They're a big club with a huge supporter base that can overwhelm any team going around. Look at the way they drowned the boos out everytime Maynard touched the footy. 

    We don't have the mongrel or killer instinct in our team. We're a mentally soft football club on field and have been for a number of year. When you have guys like May and Oliver who are happy to smile and shake hands with the opposition then it just resonates the soft underbelly tag we've carried for so long.

     

    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

    Couldnt be asking for more form him.  Very dependable and deserves some praise.  Team has never been the same since he did his foot in 2022

    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
