General MFC discussion

[DemonTim]

I can understand if they didn't give a stuff about the Geelong game, but if true it is bizarre they'd be mentally checked out before a must win game to potentially make finals....

She said they just all seemed very cbf and sighed when they had to head out on the track

Didn't want to shorten their offseason by playing finals

Led to discussing the worst players for spending most of their time on the massage tables. Guess the top two.

Still waiting for this DemonTim

They weren't slacking off. Just always wanted to go wayyyyyy over time on getting massages haha

I'm going to go with JV as the monster surprise and with Kent as the expected

Always interesting to hear opposition supporters views. McGrath can play at half back. He also averaged the most disposals in the TAC cup through the midfield. After a 40 disposal game playing through the midfield he started to get talked up as a potential top pick.

A second tall forward is a need, but I don't think it's a big enough need to reach for one. In the past few drafts there haven't been any good options available for our picks. Maybe Battle at a stretch, but we have plenty of his type already.
We drafted a tall utility in Francis(obviously rated higher than Weideman), who is now around 193cm and has been playing forward. We also just traded for James Stewart (196cm). We have a number of mid sized forwards developing - Langford(up to 193cm), Laverde(190cm), Redman etc. And while I would prefer to keep Hooker(hes actually 28) in defense, he swung forward to good effect and had a real presence. Mitch brown is now depth or plays in defense.
Obviously I don't see a tall forward as a big of a need as you do, but it would be nice.

Our small forwards are Fantasia, Tipungwuti and Green(depth).

We actually have lots of depth in defense. For talls: Hooker, Hurley, Hartley, Brown, Ambrose(was solid last season after moving to def). Small/Med: Kelly, Baguley, Goddard, Dea, Gleeson, Mckenna, *McGrath, Francis

Fair point about our rucks, they could definitely use bolstering. Leuenberger did manage to play twenty games last season.

Not sure why you think we only have two inside mids: Watson(31 not 34),Heppell, Merrett, Parish, Myers, Hocking, Bird, Howlett, possibly Langford/Laverde and just drafted a few more.

Francis was rated higher than Weideman by Essendon and Gold Coast. Not necessarily by everyone else. There's no way of knowing how high Weideman would have gone if not for being injured during his draft year also.

Just stumbled upon this. Never seen it before, has anyone here? i like it better than 'cmon demons' which hasn't aged well

Um, was that the scared weird little guys singing in the first frame? Interesting that we went with a comedy act to sing a promotional song. Probably very apt. And I dunno about this one ageing any better. I just listened to it then wandered around for 50 minutes trying to work out where I go to vote for Gough Whitlam.

2005ish?

2005ish?

Yeah guessing 04-06 because Davey and Bizzell are around plus the primus sponsor

It doesn't feel very 2005 though, it's got a serious retro quality. If we ever win a premiership I'm going to put together a MFC promo compilation to get very wasted to.

Well, I'm never getting that 7 minutes of my life back. Still prefer 'cmon demons'.
