Mega Thread General MFC Discussion Part III

[Topkent]

Yeah okay okay Kent - you’ve fully validated your masculine credentials this week, no need to go overboard

Sorry back in my box

Good man

No idea what youre even talking about.

Just a lame joke, was just away of calling you old. To be honest I'm not much younger I think. MySpace was the top social media back in the day. Anyway time to move on, what bailey smith did is weird but not a stupid as sending pictures of a male body part to under-age girls on snapchat.

The only time I would take selfies is when I lose weight/fat and gain weight/muscle as a matter of progression.

 

[stEdy]

He's a bloke that lives on Insta.

Everything is for social gain on that platform. Blokes sending around pics/videos of gear is a strange but sadly common practice of a generation that grew up on social media and desperately crave attention and affirmation.

Reminds of that scene in 21 Jump St, where Ice Cube’s character says something along the lines of: “Kids take drugs and film themselves. They’re really stupid.”

What a band! I only discovered them a few months ago after reading that Mark Lanegan memoir. Layne's such a tragic story. His unplugged performance is phenomenal, it's kinda like watching someone disintegrate in front of your peepers but still, goddamn. So good.

Next Jimmy Bartell what the blokes from the board were peddling to us Trident members if I recall

I mean what has that Ollie Wines bloke done compared to Jimmy no hips after Bartlett stepped in to force us to pick him

Oh yes, they have the same christian name and both have black hair.... this makes sense and is probably how we did our recruiting back then.

Fairly sure Jimmy was the year that Jason Taylor had to sit out because Eddie put in a non-compete clause for a year in his contract

Didn't Bartlett come on board the year after?

I don't ****ing know mate, I just remember some dickhead board member jumped in and picked Jimmy before Ollie despite being Viney's best mate. I'm an afternoon of drinks down so facts may be distorted somewhat

I really hope the team uses the bye wisely. I feel like the players are mentally and physically cooked. Give them time to go and have a proper rest.
Coaches need to use this time to work out a coherent game style. I suggest going back to the fast play, high pressure, turnover game we used last year.

 

[Johnny Karate]

Well, the last 3 weeks have been frustrating. It’s clear that our ball movement and forward connection are way off, I think this also flows on to our defence being opened up all too often. We also have players well down on form: Petracca has been pretty shit the last 3 weeks, Lever is struggling and ANB is also labouring. Additionally, we would’ve hoped for better form from Tomlinson. Jackson hasn’t been as good this year either.

It’s possible that we’ve done our dash, without taking away from the magnificent effort that it was to hoist the cup last year, we had the stars align in ways they haven’t quite yet this year. In game injuries have thrown out our structure. Losing May against Freo ****ed us. Petty’s been off or hampered in each of the past 3 and while the Pies still may have rolled us, Disco going down with Petty and Gawn off for significant chunks of today meant we were shoveling shit. We’ve also struggled for continuity with important role players missing games through injury and illness which must have some effect on our supposed fitness advantage. It’s also a brutal game and any small drop in hunger or standards can bring you back to the pack very quickly. The challenge this year was always going to be dealing with the pressure of becoming the hunted and we’ve fallen significantly short in the last 3 games.

Moving forward, it’s become apparent that Mitch Brown isn’t the answer. I think we have to go with BBB, Fritsch and one of Gawn or Jackson pushing forward when not rucking to mix it up. Unless, of course, Weed pulls his finger out or T Mac makes an unlikely recovery. Hibberd was good today and can play the lock down defender role if his calf holds up. I think Bowey may need a spell. Brayshaw has been fantastic down back but we lack a bit of run down there atm, hopefully Rivers can find some form or else Hunt.

7 wins in the last 9 games gets us top 2, which should be the ultimate aim. We need to move the ball faster, by spreading from the contest and putting heaps of frontal pressure on to force the opposition into dumb turnovers. Slow ball movement doesn’t suit us because we aren’t a highly skilled team and don’t have great aerial abilities forward of the ball. Our strength lies in embracing risk and backing teammates to win contests.

Best side for the remainder of the season:

B: Hibberd - May - Petty
HB: Salem - Lever - Brayshaw
C: Jordon - Oliver - Langdon
HF: ANB - Jackson - Spargo
F: Fritsch - B Brown - Pickett
R: Gawn - Petracca - Viney
I: Harmes - Bowey - Rivers - Sparrow
E: Tomlinson - Weideman - Dunstan - Hunt
