You sound like a red bull drinking tradie, who listens to SEN, who is thick as 2 bricks; who smokes 2 packs a day, yet complains about the cost of living; who has his refrigerated aircon on 24 hours a day with windows open yet complains about his energy bill; who bought a V8 Ute accelerating hard from traffic lights yet complains about fuel costs; who thinks Clive Palmer has some good ideas; who probably likes coal but wouldn’t live within a bulls roar of a power station; who thinks the Herald Sun and Sky News are the beacons of journalism; who stands up for free speech, yet won’t tolerate what Yasmin said on Anzac Day. Give me outrage and pink haired feminists anyday, over the average non PC ‘bloke’. Take your meter maids, transistor; darts and the rest and find a cave.

I do have a way with words sometimes. Other than spelling algorhythm and dais (thank Hannibal/Trav) incorrectly.

Funny how my criticism is indisputable and on the mark. When did I start to criticise the club about the Lever and Lewis trade? Unlike the simpleton, when they occurred. When did I start to criticise the club about their handling of Viney's foot? When it occurred. When did I criticise Neeld's appointment and Lyon's involvement? When it occurred. Did I ever clap getting rid of Howe or Dunn? No. I don't wait for the media to say something after the penny drops. Unfortunately, it is pretty easy to predict the inevitable here. You just have to stop clapping and start thinking. I pay my memberships, and when the club is earning it, I shut up. pTGR

On Yobbo 360, he admitted that he hasn't been great with ball in hand, but been pretty good when he hasn't got the ball. WTF? Also said Goody is sticking fat with him; which makes Goody the guy who looked like Col Sanders on the Titanic.

Jordan "Leadership" Lewis was at least honest when he stated last night on Yobbo 360, that most players drink while 'rehabbing'. It is a farce. Doesn't matter what is said, it is what they actually do.

The MFC are ducking and weaving in the May saga, trying to appear golden, by putting on teflon. 1. How was their due diligence with May, seeing that they off-loaded Hogan and beat their chest privately to journos when Hogan got stuck in a pub earlier in the year. 2. May apparently presented underdone. First, the club leaked it; and then tried to imply that Gold Coast's standards were the issue. 3. The medical/football decision to put him back on the park when the game was lost, has done more to impact his fitness than any holiday he may have had in summer. Fact. 4. The club and footy-land are tut-tutting his few beers. Jordan Lewis admitted most players (including he) drinks when in rehab! To me, the club stinks more than Steven May at the minute. The leaking...the mis-management...and blame-shifting. Reminds me back to the days when Scully was scolded for 'over-training' while at the MFC. I am glad the Barrett and a few others can smell the rat. The veil of negativity and amateur-hour has returned to the club. They can feel it hovering, but don't want to look up.

Me Leadership Lewis said that all players will have a drink during rehab. What a croc this is. Looking forward to the day when ‘new research’ discovers the positive effects of alcohol during rehab. Seriously, so many are obsessed with the icing (drinking rehab) rather than the cake (soft tissue injuries don’t go back on when the game is done).

They lost

Counting down to: 1. we will undertake a thorough review of the medical department 2. Make assistants scapegoat for an average season 3.

and May’s groin. Amateur hour.

Those that are obsessed with narcissism, are usually the ones that have more to divulge to a psychologist IMO.

Great post. If I was Joel Smith, I'd be sounding out Hawthorn, who appear to be light years ahead dealing with complex ankles (Scully) and knees (O'Meara). We can't even get the basics right by respecting significant pain concurrent with an acute injury.

Read what I have been saying for years about our medical department and decisions regarding Viney's foot, May's groin, Viney's shoulder and now Smith. When an outsider can clearly see incompetent decision-making (putting injured players back on in dead rubbers), something is very wrong.

Misso is the tip of the iceberg.

I guess you reminisce about Sir Billy Sneddon.

Ego divided by altruism is rarely less than 1. Lot of ego out there that do bugger all for those less fortunate.

Not according to J Brown last night. Anyway, I saw/heard too many private school boys in the MCC last Saturday who spoke about where they went to school, my brain is fried.

As of 2 weeks ago, yes I am sure.

1. Georgie Tunny - Club should get her in and give her the mic. MFC supporter and media personality who is as professional and natural as they come. Surely we have moved on from Rob Astbury, Rob Gell and Neil Mitchell. 2. Julian Burnside doesn’t have a team yet. Swoop before Hawthorn for once

The Steven May Cup

Why stop there? What about the culture of Scotch College? Dont forget the MFC threw him under a bus (leaked info about the way he allegedly rocked up and other things), instead of looking at their own due diligence and pre-recruiting processes; and medical decisions (putting him back out on the park with a soft-tissue injury). Only simpletons think that May has everything to answer here.

Collingwood wouldn't swap Grundy.

I'm sorry, but you are blinded by stats if you believe that. Is there a disposal efficiency under pressure stat? If there is, Lewis rates with Cale Morton my friend. Jones busts his [censored] at every opportunity. Jones shows leadership by "saying" watch me boys...and exemplified it in quarter 2 against Sydney and in some parts yesterday. Jones goes to hard places, and rarely has time and space. Jordan's kicking errors, weren't helped by Omac waiting for the next train. But bloody hell, oppositions don't rate Lewis and leave him go. His kicking invariably is performed with time and space. Jones getting dragged into the Lewis-veteran debate is a disgrace. Jones is an asset; while Lewis has been a bone-fide liability. He was past it years ago, but his body of work from PF 2018 to yesterday is putrid. Furthermore, real leaders take feedback, which he clearly can't. Similar with Froscar. Omac has really dragged Frost into the kryptonite spotlight. Frost is an asset with pace, and the simpletons had no idea calling for his head.

Fantastic. Great post. Well done TGR.
