General MFC Discussion 2.0

I thought I'd accidentally swapped it to the desktop version on my phone again. Whoever changed this should be made to watch basil zemplas commentate every Carlton game this year.

 

[Sando22]

Yep these changes are poop

 

[PerfectFooty]

I do like that the log out button isn't next to the alerts now, so i don't miss click

 

[markm106]

The new format on mobile seems to have many unnecessary changes. Much harder to use and i seem to have lost they ways I used to navigate around the different forums.

Due to his size and pace athleticism ect, either throw frosty in the mid or TMac

I know we need goals, from tmac
Or i know frost has been good down back(even more so without Pig or Lever)

But without Viney i figure frost is an upgrade to Tyson in terms of speed

 

[blitznu]

so with the article on the AFL site does that mean we can trade next years 1st round pick this year if we wanted to?

You can’t just throw someone who is quick into the middle and expect results.

 

[Topkent]

Wait did I just read frost as a midfielder? Oh boy....

Classic case of overthinking, to be honest. You don't just become a midfielder because you're quick. Just play Tyson inside FFS and accept his limitations. Will improve our structure in Viney's absence, just like Frost is doing an ok job covering Lever rather than throwing magnets all over the board like we did with Smith and 18 year-old Petty.

 

[Ando727]

I honestly don't know what we should do - but I look forward to being very critical of what we did if it doesn't work...

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I’d like to see both JKH and ANB play big midfield minutes.

JKH as a defensive forward on Touhy and ANB as a winger please.

Watching Frost play midfield would be golden. It would be action packed and chaotic, but I doubt it would last more than ten minutes.

Hashtaag tanking

Because of the casualties...

 

[Tempy Tiger]

I didn’t watch the game, thank god, hence my lack of traditional melting. Looking at this with a bit of perspective, we were pushing s**t uphill as soon as Lever went down. Take the defensive anchor out of any side and it has huge repercussions on that teams ability to win games. Hawthorn will be ripe for the picking without Sicily. And then to lose Hibberd who is probably our best defender, when we were already light on defensively, we were always going to struggle against the cats. It was a huge effort to achieve what they did for the first three quarters.
If I had free reign at the club I’d be appointing a single captain next year, from Gawn or TMAC, and I’d be trading Hogan who is a flat track bully, and Tyson who is not AFL standard. And we desperately need to embrace the hard ass culture we had for the first half of 2017. We are like the Australian cricket team, s**t when we play nice.

Zach Tuohy's goal after the siren delivered the Demons another heartbreaking loss, Goodwin's side now 0-4 in games decided by less than two goals this season.

So, about that pre-season camp...

 

[Cannon82]

Also, mods, poor form closing the Badelaide thread. Like our players, you should see things through to the end of the season instead of pulling the pin early. We must ride this strange torpedo out to the end.

 

[deeco]

Excited to watch everything that would need to fall in our favour for us to somehow steal a spot in the top 8 happen and another standard disappointing season that could have gone somewhere peter out to nothing. The inevitable giving us hope before taking it away in R23 is going to be something special this year...

Just imagine the hurt the players will feel after bowing out two years in a row in Rd 23. I'm actually hoping we don't make the finals. The lessons we will learn from another heartbreaking defeat in the last round far outweigh any finals experience.
Plus we all know how well our players use those losses to provide motivation to spur them on.

This. Who gives a s**t what a few Crowbot fans think? We deserve it, and have enjoyed sinking the boot into them all year. What are you protecting by locking that thread?

Especially when they haven’t locked their thread even after we beat them by 90+. Our mods copying the soft approach of our coaches imo

 

[Demon13304]

Only 5 games left. * me We've made making finals a lot harder than it could've been

Lol our season will be over before round 23 this year

 

[HANDSOLO]

Tend to agree. Although upon reflection and having cooled down a bit, even though I stand by everything I said I do recall thinking we couldn’t make finals this year and over performed last year.

So it’s all good - we’ll make finals in a 2-3 years time
