I like it. Roosy basically saying if you muppets refuse to go forward spotting up a target and are so desperate to just bomb it in, let's see how that works for ya. I'll even give you every match fit tall forward on the list to bomb it towards. Go your hardest!

Presumably when this fails miserably the players will realise it's a waste of frigging time and they might start trying the actual game plan

Or just drop their bundle again and cease to function

when is the penny going to drop with Jack watts, the guy has talent to burn, a physique not all that dissimilar to nat fyfe, why can't he just show something and play out of his skin for once! So frustrating

He's far too well paid and content to bother putting in 100%

Well the boys flew in last night and I just had a quick chat with Nate Jones, who is just out on Langley Park having a kick with Gawny, Watts & Howe. You can see the ground from our building and I grabbed an MFC flag I had and they signed it for my young lad, hopefully that will be another incentive to keep him on board for a few years along with a solid effort on Saturday night

Got the flag signed for your son hey PSD sure u did!!!!

Well done.

Another with a compromised pre-season. That he even made it back to senior's level this year is an achievement.

FMD we drop one bloke who actually gets the footy in Riley??

I know his disposal has been "Iffy"

46% iffy last week. Based on that, the majority of times he gets the ball, it goes to the opposition.

Rubbish changes. Not that we have much to work with.

Depressing.

I would think the opportunity to see Gawn, Jamar, Dawes, Pedersen, Frawley and Fitzpatrick all in the same side would be a little more alluring than that.

God next weeks game here already. Still too deflated from gws debacle.

I have about as much interest in this game as I do in extracting an ingrown hair from my left nut.

Can someone tell me when it is over. Make it stop !

Poor Strauss...

Nearly forgot he was still on our list. Unfortunately, he won't be around next year. Wish him all the best in his future.

I don't mind we've tried something a bit different and gone tall. Not sure if it'll make much difference but eh, it's the end of the season. Why not? Good to see Fitzy and Pedders back.

We played the Giants last week. We play the Giants this week. If King was fit as well, I reckon Roosy would have selected him!

God help us in the second half when our handful of runners tire.

I can hardly wait.

I'll be so high on post operation drugs I'll probably think they are all magical uncoordinated giraffes.

Fitzy resembles that when you're straight.

FMD! GEEZZZAS

Maybe it's a fitness issue fence, big ground over there and perhaps that's what saved Matt Jones who was awful last week.

The big question for me is: Do I bother to watch it?

me to

Only if you enjoy pain and depression.

yes please :unsure:

Q/ The question for me is: Do I bother to watch it? Well do I, punk ?..... ah, yes sir, is a replay OK ? in installments, watch 1Qtr per week. :huh:

He is a guy that leaves me cold gs now I will admit I have not seen every game he has played but the best I have seen from him is average and most weeks he is less. As you say he was terrible last weekend.

I suspect the only reason he is still in the side is there is no one else better.

Because he sits down to pee..

He had one game where we really saw what he could do. From that I think we've got a very good prospect, but he needs to be fit and consistent.

Good to see you can all select a team better than the coaching panel, what in the hell would he know anyway.

Thats the point Rght?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
