GAMEDAY: Rd 20 vs Richmond
Setting up for the classic 70's Demon failure stick with them until around 3/4 time and they slowly pull away to win by 24 points rinse and repeat

The 2019 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
I think the Bomber fans would pay us to take Cale Hooker after today. If you think our guys are bad in front of goal have a look at his shot in the second quarter.

Finals still a chance?
Yes perhaps in poor taste but how about Mebourne on the road. A minor pandemic hits Melbourne (no deaths) but the city is quarantined. Only the interstate teams and Melbourne can play and all finals are moved to Alice Springs. (Alice in Wonderland allegories appreciated.) As there are 8 interstate teams we would need to knock GC off somehow. There are probably TV shows with stranger plots !

Finals still a chance?
I'm thinking the mass disqualification route. Would need to be a good one to knock out 10 clubs

Round 20 Non MFC Games
The bomber faithful cheer every time Tipper gets near the ball let alone when he gets it. No wonder he's hanging out for some serious money. He's the type of character that keeps the turnstiles clicking.

Round 20 Non MFC Games
At docklands watching the Western magpies aka Port. Hardly a free seat in general admission. Port were going nicely. Would hate to see essendon win another close one

2020 Assistant Coach Prospects: The Next Batch
mmm.... so fake news is an opinion you do not agree with Interesting.. let's just finish it there thanks

Jon Patton
Interesting comments in that article on the money he is prepared to accept. "He has one more year on a lucrative deal that will effectively be torn up and replaced by what is likely a two-year deal at the Hawks. Instead of that huge salary he would secure a deal on or around the average AFL salary of $360,000 a season." Any club including MFC would be mad not to match that deal. There must be something else in the package that the Hawks are offering. Care to expand Redleg

2020 Assistant Coach Prospects: The Next Batch
would you like to explain why you consider it fake? It would be a natural consideration for any incoming assistant.

2020 Assistant Coach Prospects: The Next Batch
Tough job in the assistant role. They don't get the golden parachutes (security of tenure) that goes with being the head coach as they are mainly on year to year contracts. Nothing unusual in that as a lot of the work force has similar security of tenure but their alternative employment opportunities are limited. There are only so many private schools that can afford full time coaches. Good luck to them all. It's very important that they all leave with the feeling that they can walk back in and have a coffee etc in the future.
