I'm not impressed with the commentary, someone turn Leigh Matthews mic off.

Not bad so far. We tightened up a little in defense at the end but a fair bit of work to do in that area. I just want an honest contest and I will be happy.

in some ways i agree with leigh - we want him to play deep forward.

problem is we also want him to be the release kick from the half-back to wing!

The problem is Howe is good in the air, good on the ground, has good disposal and now is a good kick for goal.

We need him deep forward, we need him upfield, we need 18 clones of him!

Come on Royal sort out the midfield. We cant get a clearance.

Some pretty poor comments on this thread at the moment

Boys need to win some clearances though - playing ok hope they can keep it up

I must admit I am not a fan currently of the our defensive zone - seems to be easily beaten

Frawley is probably the worst decision maker in the league.

He has a few mates named terlich and Mcdonald

Neeld speaks well at least.

Clearances are our biggest weakness if we keep possession of the footy we could win. It's a wide open game gotta keep running

So it's going to be Sylvia vs Beama.

Mano a mano

THIS. ZONE. IS. [censored].

Can we stem the tide of free run? Doesn't look like it at this stage.

Watts getting annihilated

Tommy Mc is down on confidence, no doubt.

watts is just SO LAZY.

let papparone have three metres on him then. woeful.

It's not hard to stay on Zorko, he's not exactly gut running..

Whoever is on him needs to pull their head in.

This defensive zone stuff is terrible.

oh, colin.

Tommy Mc is down on confidence, no doubt.

so is watts ran past the contest because he miss timed it by not committing to the obvious airiel body contact.. dumb footy because he didn't want to make contact.

Dear Jordie Mc, please watch the footy occasionally.

Mckenzie is not exactly doing well.

The problem is Howe is good in the air, good on the ground, has good disposal and now is a good kick for goal.

We need him deep forward, we need him upfield, we need 18 clones of him!

when Dawes,Clark and Hogan get on the field together it will free Howe up to play upfield

and that right there is why blease spends 2 games in, 2 games out.

he tries to do the diamond thing every time, when sometimes all you need os coal.

Dear MFC coaches,

WATTS IS NOT A BLOODY DEFENDER!!!!!!!

Lions could put us to the sword but ain't.

Their kicking is really letting off our rubbish zone defence.
