Chip is far more valuable than Dunn. there are alot more blokes like Dunn than blokes like Chip who can consistently beat big forwards.

ENYAW has broken out the frothies again!

I reckon a few others didin't win a rising star nomination in round 1 2014 that will go on to be good players, wgaf

Because Mitch has a contract with the Melbourne football club, the same as any other employment related contract he has certain entitlements, one is that he is paid even if he is injured. more so that the club has an image to develop, a good way to destroy that would be to refuse to pay Mitch in this situation, i'm also sure the club knows a hell of alot more than either of us do about it, and they are the ones paying him so really it's irrelevant. The thing that really amuses me is that you think you know enough to dictate if Mitch deserves to be paid or not, none of us know anything really, and it's insane to pretend we are in any sort of position to judge the validity of Mitch's situation.

He is a possibility for round 3.

we clearly didn't kick straight or take our opportunities, if we took even half of the easy chances we missed we would have won the game easily.

I've been a fully paid member and donated to the club for a long time now, i have no issue with Mitch taking Personal leave, and i have no issue with him being paid during that time, it's not his fault he is going through the tough time he is, it's not like he simply isn't turning up to training.

Neither thought it would be a good idea to help Tommy Mcdonald out on Roo when he couldn't run lol

even 1 of our forwards and we will be a better team.

Didn't you predict us to make finals like two weeks ago? haha i thought we played really well all things considered, i reckon 5 wins is still on the cards, Collingwood, Carlton, North, Richmond and Sydney all lost winnable games too...

they were very hard at it, you add Hayes, Steven, Montagna, and co and they are much better than a wooden spoon team in my view

Name not thrown around alot but a very successful assistant.. Mark Bickley.

I don't think we can kick a winning score agaisnt them, but it's important we defend hard and try and be in the game at 3/4 time, if we can lock a team like this down, even if we lose it will be great for the belief of everyone

I reckon it wouldn't have mattered, the difference between now and then is the confidence Roosy has flowing through him

It's alot easier to give another team a bath when you have someone capable of kicking goals to kick too.

you're attitude is disgusting, 1. stop being so entitled, Mitch has issues, we let him deal with them, if he is getting paid during that time has absolutely nothing to do with you, that's between Mitch and the MFC, 2. if we throw Mitch to the wolves now we might as well fold and move to Tassie because it will destroy any culture we have built. 3. Stuie wasn't saying their injuries are similar, he was saying not paying Mitch is setting a precedent that if you are going through tough times you won't be supported by MFC.

Exactly, not having forward targets makes it a nightmare also, we are definitely a better side than in 2013, i reckon we will push alot of teams this year.

He'd probably be okay sitting in a forward pocket for a year, but i'm not sure why we would bother, i think we have experience, now we need a genuine superstar.

Exactly! carlton used pick 1 on Gibbs, that's a massive investment and he has not delivered, he doesn't even show glimpses of being a game breaker, i'd be genuinely upset if we chased him because he is soft as [censored]. give me Daniel Cross over Byrce Gibbs anyday.

Mitch will let us know what he's doing in his own time, til then Dawes, Hogan and Fitzy is a decent combo if we can get them on the park in the next 5 years.

I don't know that Roosy was out coached, i think we had plan A and that was good enough to win, we simply didn't execute it well enough, too much indecision not knowing who to kick too, we need one of Dawes or Hogan for the GWS game.

I can't stand what Gibbs has said, he wants to see a premiership blueprint, he is a big part of what they plan to build a premiership around but he is a long way off an elite player imo, he should wait til he gets to that level before he tries putting talks on hold, i doubt Carlton will be too fussed if he leaves tbh

I think we are definitely on the right track, which is a nice change, Frawley needs to take more ownership in general, he wants to wait for someone else to set the direction of the club, he needs to be proactive, set an example and help set it himself, Tommy Mcdonald can't run, don't wait til Roo has three goals before deciding maybe i should go to him. Trengove needs to find a way to be dangerous, he is getting enough of the ball, he needs to make something happen when he does have it now Watts needs to play like that every week, that's the standard now, no backwards steps. I think the biggest thing the team needs is confidence, there are some seriously talented boys on our list, they need to back that talent, no doubts, i'd rather see them make a bad decision then show indecision.

I felt as though we had the opportunity to win last night, i think as Roosy said the problems are mental

Roo, Watts Jones? for us i reckon Watts, Tyson, Jones, Dunn, Vince would be about it, Trengove has improved alot but still has a long way to go, same with Toumpas, Frawley is a good player and i reckon 17 other teams will be circling but he was abit dopey at times last night.
