Do you love nothing more than coming home from a long hard day at work, ignoring your partner and jumping straight on to bigfooty to brag about how you are right? Well this is the thread for you. Same deal as last year, we are a little late but thanks to cyclone Alf Stewart we've only had two...

Notable ins above.
Glad we've strengthened the side with some quality VFL level players, think it is pretty hard to develop kids if we're getting rolled every week. Still probably a bit too tall up forward...
Geez I love watching us grind out another honourable loss with a flattering margin at the MCG :$
Group going nowhere under this coaching group, and the worst bit is the playing group are starting to really age.
Thanks for the idea Bluelegs
So basically our coach has NFI when it comes to picking a team, I thought it'd be fun to keep a tally over the year on how we rate the selections.
Round 0: Spargo selected out of nowhere and was terrible, Billings sub. Bigfooty wins
Round 1: Brown/TMac selected...
Basically a place where we put our predictions for the team for 2024, thread will be locked at the start of our first game. Scythe94 I’m aware I actually asked you about this yet but I’m sure you’ll like it :moustache:

My post is all perfect world kind of stuff, I don't think Goody will do this:
McVee May Lever
Bowey Tomlinson Salem
Langdon Viney Hunter
Chandler Petty Kozzy

Have bolded the guys who need to earn their spot over the...
Brisbane @ MCG
Crows @ MCG
Richmond @ MCG
North @ Tassie
Carlton @ MCG
Hawks @ MCG
Sydney @ SCG
Top two isn't happening, we'll likely have to win them all to overtake the Lions. The three below us will all heavily threaten our spot as their runs home are pretty soft (Essendon have to play...

I haven't actually posted on here a whole lot since the flag and I wanted to put my final thoughts on the season that was on this board rather than thinking about doing it every few weeks and then being lazy.
2021 was a pretty shithouse year for me away from footy, so I lived through the team...
Pretty simple, which club is under the most pressure to perform in 2022?
Have excluded clubs in early years of their rebuild, clubs deemed to have ‘over achieved’ in 2022 (Although kept GWS in due to Cameron’s tenure lasting so long) and the two grand finalists as neither were expected to even...
Thought we could have a little bit of fun coming into the game with a friendly prediction thread. Please, don't be a soft campaigner and cry if someone comes in here and tips the Dogs by 70 or some shit.
Use the following format for your predictions:
Winner/Margin:
First goalkicker:
Unlikely hero...
Figured I’d make a thread for the last month as I can see it going down to the wire.
Obviously swans and cats have their games today but you’d expect both of them to win. Dogs are locked into firsy now IMO, don’t see them moving.
Basically we need Sydney and Brisbane to drop at least one...
Bit of fun to keep track of what everyone posts here, I'll keep the OP updated but try and keep posting in our trade and draft thread unless you've got a rumor to add.

Less than two weeks away boys and girls, can't bloody wait (Even if I'll likely be too scared to watch).
My crack at a round 1 team:

Figured I'd make a thread for what I see as the most pressing issue that we had in 2019, and absolutely the biggest area of improvement required in 2020.
Every MFC supporter knows that we've got a surplus of inside mids, and reading between the lines on training reports and how players are...
Roos reportedly stripping back his weekly appearances so they’ll need a replacement both On the couch and on gameday. As much as I like what he did for my club reckon he was a crap commentator.
With finals a 1% chance from here, how do you think the club should handle the rest of the year? Play the kids? Best possible team? Radical gameplan overhaul? Put it in here.
I think we should play the best possible side BUT I'm ****ing over the club rushing guys back from injury/playing guys...
Started a similar thread last year but it was only about a day or two before the first game, figured I'd do it a week in advance this year so everyone can get their predictions in. The finishing position you select is intended to be the POST finals position, so for example in 2018 we finished 4th.
You'd expect we'll be playing best available this week.

No idea how many we're allowed on the bench but it'll include Jones/Lewis/ANB at a minimum.
Hell, its about time.
Wines and Dixon at this stage won't be playing for the Power, as for us Lever won't be there and who knows with Viney.
I think Port will be very average this year BUT round 1 can throw up some strange results with all 18 teams fresh and new additions to the 22 trying to...
