Vent away.

Fire up lads.

Go Blues.

This week's VFL game could have vital importance to our future.
I can't write that very often, but this round it could be true. Matthew Kreuzer COULD be playing.

I'm always of the opinion that the club needs to err on the side of caution with serious injuries. There have been few as significant as those of the big No 8 in recent times, especially as his preseason looked so promising. So this week could be a watershed moment.
From the sounds of things the lad wants to play and is only looking for the medical say so to take the field against St. Kilda 2nds (sometimes known as Sandringham). Considering the issues we have had with ruckmen, having a guy his stature could be a blessing.

Has he come back too early? That will not be known until after this weekend's game. But one way or the other it is an important moment in our season.

I haven't seen a single minute of this one, which is a huge pity. Hopefully we can repeat the does to the Meat Pies on Friday night

It is time again to reward some lucky players for their hard work. There should be a considerably larger spread of votes as well, with a good win (though I am sure that at half time opinions would have been very different).
Remember:
[1] At least 3 players need to get a mention.
[2] No more than 10 votes for any one player.
[3] Give a rating of team performance. It can be anywhere from A+ to F. (I won't be an F this week!  ;D ;D ;D)
[4] Votes must add up to 15.

Time to reward OUR ANZAC Day heroes.

Friday 1st May, 19:50. MCG.

Well, we all know the record associated with this game.

Let's go lads.

So, there you have it. First victory of the year and its in NZ.

Slow start, but got it together and ran over the sainters.

OK... season 2015...starting... now

Hey does anyone know of a CFC supporters group on Sunshine Coast? Trying to find fellow Blue Boys supporters near Maroochydore to watch the footy with. Can only watch so many Rugby League matches with my Qld mates 

Did anyone catch AFL 360 last night. Both Roos and Buckley were commenting how the game has even changed this year, good teams have now become more offensive and old defensive structures and plans are being broken down easily. This is allowing a lot more momentum shifts and good players picking up 35+ possessions a week, creating chains of possessions to pick through outdated defensive Mindsets and structures.

Both coaches also said the old school lock down player is dead. you cannot have only player solely focuses on another without picking up 25 themselves in the midfield. If that player is solely focussed on another, they break down the team defence and allows opposition to expose and open them up.

No wonder we are falling further and further behind. Where is the modern coaching staff that can read changes in styles from year to year and implement new and innovative measures both defensively and offensively?
