I'm not watching or listening, but just looking at the stats:

We're up in the clearances 18-17. However, contested possessions are 66-48 their way. Inside 50s are a terrible 27-18 their way. The worst, though, is that they're winning disposals 184-123 but also winning tackles 29-14.

Improvement in clearances, clearly, but without any improvement anywhere else.

The Suns were 18th for Contested Poss. last year and this year they're 4th and they have a better midfield and they average more tackles than us this year.



It adds up.

I don't know if it's neeld to blame, or not, i just know this forum is more interesting than our games. It feels like we are all prisoners talking through the walls to each other

Maybe we're bit players in Papillon or The Shawshank Redemption.

Pass the spoon, I think I can dig my way outta here. Unfortunately that takes me into the sewer, but that's hardly any worse than where we are now.

I usually see some positives, but can't see (m)any here today.....can anyone?

Our coach is struggling as much as, if not more than, the players.

If I played in this game and performed like they have up to this point, I would not show my face in public ever again.

I just hope Jackson has the fortitude to sack those continual non performers, as soon as he is able to.

We simply need football people with heart, not under performing wimps.

I did have a glimmer of hope but now I know we are shot as a footy club.

The MFC is in it's last throes. Many of those there today need to be held accountable.

Hang on a minute, they get paid regardless of how they perform. They have one 1/2 of a game to save this club.

Our players are ferocious enough to make a tackle even stick.

Jack viney looks to be getting the ball abit, but otherwise this is a disaster.

you feel for the few boys actually having a crack.

Maxy is probably the only player with some balls at the moment.

EDIT: add Viney and M.Jones

Jack Viney 15 disposals, 5 clearances, 4 tackles

We must get a proper coach and development staff so that this young gun reaches his full superstar potential

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
