No idea what either of you are on about, we went though this last year and where did Mitchell Park finish? Right about where I said we would - 4th. Happens year in year out, clearances get posted and everyone works themselves into a lather based on nothing but a name that in all likelihood they have never heard of let alone seen play footy.

As an example I can tell you Rhys Potuzynski, whilst a top lad and good football player, will not play a single A grade game this year, but everyone sees:

Potuzynski, Rhys - Happy Valley to Mitchell Park - and assumes that because of his surname and original club that he will slot into our A Grade midfield rotations.

Clearances are an indicator, a small wift of an indicator at that, but come the business end of the season they really do mean naff all. There is absolutely nothing, not a skeric of evidence to suggest Mitchell Park have overtaken SHOC or Angle Vale or that Henley shouldn't also be rated ahead of us at this early stage of the season. North Pines also touched us up last time we played.

Mitchell Park should play finals this year and are therefore a contender, no doubt, but to have a shot at the title we need more solid A Grade midfield depth, more options up forward other than Luke and a fair dinkum 6ft + solid full back, and more commitment and determination from the fringe players - do any of the recruits fill these roles? Can you tell that from a name or have you seen them train/play?

I just wish there was some sort of clearance system for the stock market, as one could make a killing on the over estimation a name on a list gets. Maybe I could add this to morell's football mythbusters episode 1? :D

Is Anthony May staying Morell?

so luke mcdonnell with 116 goals last year isnt playing or his brother with 40 goals? mcguire goes to CHF..good forward line to me..5 of the top 23 goalkickers were from MPFC and you had the second highest "for" behind SHOC..

who beat the premiers twice last year?

yankman: "MITCHELL PK- Look to have picked up a lot of players but yet to be determined as to their quality. Were super competitive in 2011 so any quality recruiting could see them right around the mark."

17 new players and none are good enough to take you higher then 4th?..ok..keep playing your game morell :)

Jealous mate? :roll:


What would he be jealous off? Taking the easy option and staying in Div 7?

No but maybe the fact we have the best depth in the SAAFL with 5 QUALITY sides all of which made Grand Finals?

I would say thats the reason he labelled you blokes sandbaggers. Yes clubs would love the depth of SHOC but if you are going to take the easy option and decide to stay in Div 7 dont be surprised when people label you guys sandbaggers.

That all happened last year, as you point out zedman, yet we still finished 4th?

Speculative, intangible, conceptual, hypothetical:

17 new players
lots of clearances
50 on the training track

Reality:

We may very well go undefeated this year and storm to the flag and conquer all, we could also fall short and trip and not even make the finals. The point is clearances and training numbers, in February, are not the best indicator of a teams possible success. We haven't even played a trial yet FFS.

But, you can only do the best you can do given the constraints you have to work in, and there is no doubt the coaching group and senior players have placed the club as well as it possibly can to have a solid 2012.

So far so good Morrell. Hahaha. We differ in so many ways, but recruits or not, facts are we went out in straight sets in 2011 by 2 good teams in SHOC and Angle Vale. So for the den to erupt in 2012 the recruits had better be better than what we already got. Not to mention the added strength at TTG and Flinders Pk. Do not underestimate the force of the Jacko.
