General MFC discussion

Demons keen to keep Nathan Jones
Ben Guthrie September 11, 2014 2:55 PM

Wouldn't have picked it.

If we managed to lose Nathan Jones, I think what remains of my enthusiasm for the MFC would die. Absolutely must keep. Get him a harem if he wants it.

Get him a harem if he wants it.

Never mind if he wants it or not. Going to need a lot more where that came from, stud.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Eddie will not be pleased.

Buckley probably would be though. Straight swap for Jordie?

What are general thoughts on the logo?

I initially didn't mind it but a few years on I don't like it, too busy, too wanky and it reminds me of dark years we want to move on from. I'd be happy to scrap it.

Hi Guys - Just doing a multi at the moment, what are the chances that Tyson will win most votes? Or is Jones a shoe-in?

I would say he is a chance but not a big one, jones is more noticed now, especially among our own players

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

It's between Jones, Tyson and Vince for us - and I realistically think that any could lead, Jones wasn't our clear best player wins often.

Watts will be the next highest.

I've always hated it.



This was in a email a few months back. I would much prefer something along the lines of this. Get rid of the background scribble, southern cross, football, Est. and the s**t font used for Melbourne Football club.

That bloke on the left is wearing a Richmond jumper!

I dunno, it looks curved and the yellow Richmond sash is all straight lines. Plus it looks a bit too low on the jumper.

 

[d33my]

yeah I'm pretty sure that's from a promotion from when we played the Tiges. Or Hawthorn?

EDIT: Definitely Hawthorn.

Knew it wasn't Richmond but I couldn't think of a side other than West Coast that wore yellow with a dark colour.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

This still gives me tingles.



Gotta love Salem's reaction. Even better knowing that he was a Bombers fan pre-draft.

I still don't mind it but if a change was to be made, I'd want it to go back to this:

Was great

Looking forward to the day when we're not celebrating a h&a win like a gf win

Agreed. Salem is such a ripper though, can't wait to see him play with a full tank in him next year.

I'm a fan

His bump / shepherd when toump kicked that goal made it move

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Not to mention his kicking and overhead marking. Has it all.

Jones should lead our votes, we only won 4 games and he was best on for 2 (carlton and Richmond) and should also pick up a vote against Essendon. he also may gat a few other 1 voters in other losses.

Tyson will get 3 votes in our win against Adelaide but I doubt he'll get any others in our wins though

 

[schmuttt]

Was shaking for a good 30 min after the siren went, and was in tears post game. Sure the second half of the year sucked, but god that game was satisfying.

Yeah I think what the second half of the year showed was that the issue now isn't so much with the quality of the list (though this is still a pressing issue), but rather the gap between our best and worst football. When we're playing our best (second half v Essendon, Port, patches v North and Hawthorn) we're certainly not at a finals standard but we at least look like an AFL team, which wasn't the case in 2013. However when we play badly and the skill errors, lack of defensive running, etc start to slip into our game, we're still probably the worst side in the comp.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Despite his ability to play as a utility, Watts still has some clear areas he wants to improve next year.

“I want to become a better forward and marking forward. I want to get harder over the ball and I want to win my own footy more and I [want to work on] my concentration lapses,” he said.

Don't know about the rest of you, but it's good to hear this from Wattsy himself - hope he goes a way to addressing these over the pre-season.

Sounds promising, can't wait for a big pre-season from Jack.

 

[Topkent]

I'm tentatively optimistic

I read an article the other week where he was talking about roosys support and how much it helped and I was like dude please take some responsibility

Those quotes are promising, because we all know the key to jack watts becoming better than an average player is him demanding more from himself
