Good post... I like entertainment and improvement. Flags are very hard to come by so you have to embrace the lesser elements

Casey have Jefferson and JVR yet we still deliver to the pocket

Sandrinham playing well. Is Tomlinson playing? PS.. just saw Tomlinson

Just wondering What criteria would one use to determine if the two expensive ruck combo delivers value

Grundy... trade next year Not a $700k player let alone $1M

Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

Do we have another gear?

Saints now have only one player on the bench. Time to stretch them out

oh well !!!

BBB still on the bench 9 minutes in Edit.. just on now and Grundy off

BBB starting this half on the bench Strange

disappointing quarter We are letting them stay in the game

Go Dees... break it open 5 goals up at half time please !!

Time to turn up the gameplan a notch and go on the attack for 15 minutes Saints will break

Be nice to get the kick outs working for once

yep

Just got the email from MFC offering GF packages. $1500.... will we make it? If the Pies make it and we don't I should have no trouble offloading the ticket at face value Decisions... decisions

Dogs arguably have the best traditional style forward line in the comp these days. Pity about their defence The one worry I have re Collingwood tonight is how their running centre corridor and angled game will translate to the smaller Docklands ground

Pre pandemic away members got in for half price $5... not sure how it works these days I can recall Goody borrowing a membership card so he could get in for $5 at Coburg one day. Looking forward to a catering and ground report from Sandringham. Hopefully a big win on Saturday night will see a lot of happy AFL players among the spectators

I see funding as an issue together with any attempt to limit public access. Timing wise.. a training ground by 2030.. is probably optimistic TBH like many I'm losing interest

A 16 point weekend for us (2x 8 point games) A Demon loss and a Dogs win is unthinkable (MFCSS)

Brings back memories of the tensions when Juice Newton played with Saunders (?). Sandy didn't do us many favours but IIRC we won a premiership with them in about 1996

We have four clubs equal or within a game of us. At present we have a percentage gap on these clubs but one 30 plus point defeat seriously erodes that percentage. I think we will make it but what should have been a pleasurable run home for supporters will be the usual stress ball that seems to go hand in hand with being an MFC supporter

I agree but can we afford a $700k insurance policy. The fact is that Gawn goes when he wants to as the club owes him so much otherwise ............ thanks for the face palm Drysdale Demon but why do you think the Grundy/Gawn combo will be any better next year? The football world wondered how the combo would work as did many on this site. Other commentators said we had too much of our salary cap invested in the ruck dept. These are the kind of discussions we need to have.

Needs another thread but you have to ask if we should trade Grundy in the off season. Given the Collingwood supplement we could probably break even on trade value. This would allow us to buy in a cheap back up ruck and put the Grundy savings into another recruit.(perhaps a KPF) We just have too much invested in our ruck combo given their return. No real signs of it turning around.
