Well said. I've had my moments... surely it can't get any worse and we're on the up from here.

I think that's what Jack is saying, just as you say, "weve appointed a coach,were now looking to fill our list, we get on with that and ignore all the glitter and glomour of the press and get the job done." Let's get on with building the list. A PP will help. Let's apply, if we don't get it, we'll move on.

MFC did not fraudulently acquire a PP in that year. A 7 month investigation found that. Notwithstanding that, there was no draft sanction placed on MFC for for the future application or granting of PPs. This is a ridiculous debate. This is competitive professional team sport. This club is entitled to apply for a PP within the framework. It would be negligent for our club's administrators to not apply for it. The AFL will either grant it or not within its framework. The question of whether to apply for it or not has nothing to do with what other clubs may think and has nothing to do with what the AFL finding might be. It is also a ridiculous thing to believe that if we apply for and are granted a PP that we can't also "roll up the sleeves", work hard and improve on field performance.

Just switch the red with the blue when we're away... when did white ever come into our colours? Every heart beat's true for the red and the blue. I'd be happy wearing a pink scalf (and nothing else) if we won each and every week.

For a moment there I thought you were talking about Roos' successor for 'On the Couch'.

Since when has it become fact that this club 'tanked' or manipulated the system? I keep hearing people say this. John Ralph said MFC was fined for tanking in the 'Collingwood Newsletter' today. I thought the 7 month AFL investigation stated something like MFC did not manipulate match results.

Well said. Especially like, "reign of terror". Haven't heard that since Superintendent Chalmers described Armin Tamzarian's principalship at Springfield Elementary.

Um... where was the 'tanking' Matt? Massive investigation by AFL found MFC did not 'tank'. Did you not know that?

Hop over to "the hanger" for all this chat... don't do it here.

Moderators? Come on... shut this trolling rubbish down now.

Who moderates this thing? Can we shut this thread down now?

New banner looks fantastic! Can't believe people are striking up arguments against it. Fresh start. Well done Demonland.

Leave it as it is now. It's perfect! A fresh start.

I was there that day... cowardly. He was lucky it was a small crowd and before all matches were recorded as they are now

Kennett would amalgamate us... or in AFL parlance, merge us. He's already on record for that stance.

Is that the best you've got Connie? Reckon you've just been owned. Nice work P-Man.

On the other hand, we've got about 150 years football club experience on Gold Coast. Just sayin'.

Completely agree. He doesn't read it well enough to be a defender and often gets caught in 'no man's land' - this is why he doesn't hit the packs; he's too late getting there.

I reckon he just went to the gents... no biggie... it happens.

He was working with him last year too. Perhaps time Trenners sacked him.

Any chance of a report from those more fortunate than myself?

Is that all you'll wear? As for what I'll do... um... divert my eyes.

What's your point jackuab?

Other difference is Dr G, Collingwood would have you believe they have the best list in the comp. D'landers believe we have the worst. Same game plan for us both; the holes are obvious. I seriously hope Mr Neeld gives Bucks a call of 'support' tonight. Can't wait for Caro's article on Monday stating Nathan's position is now untenable.

Agree with you Old Dee... hate's not cool. Was explaining why there's some anti-Bomber sentiment on this forum and by this team's supporters. Reckon Essendon have got off reasonably unscathed by the media to date. Haven't seen a 'pathetic and disgusting' headline in relation to them yet... but maybe I haven't looked hard enough.
