Stretch IN

JKH out

Bugg out for ever.dont care who replaces him...SLOW PHYSICALLY & MENTALLY.

Normal limp " snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory " effort.

Due to injury prone status of half our list, we will probably go around with pretty much the same mob of underachievers next week.

Surely Stretch replaces JKH and Kent replaces Bugg. A week late, but better late than never.

Trengove on pure persistence warrants serious consideration.

Did the Weed play?

Weed played. I only saw the first half but he struggled to do anything. Delivery wasn't great but won't be playing AFL any time soon.

Yeah, was very quiet, a Kangas defender kept him goalless (can't remember his name) he killed us in defence today

Absolutely no right foot and opposition play on this every week.

Curse of the first round pick

 

Melksham 30 touches and best on for Casey,

He was very good, made a few mistakes but attacked the ball like crazy. Played in the midlfield most the day hence his high stats but did a lot to put his name back in for selection

Got a funny story to tell.

So there was a lot of north supporters at the game today because north sent an email to their members mentioning the game at hoppers crossing had free entry.

I was standing next to a bunch of them, and because I was wearing my MFC gear plus I told them Keilty was my brother we had a bunch of friendly banter throughout the game, was a really good day.

Lindsay Thomas had a quiet game until the last quarter, and given the dirty hit on Maynard I was giving them lip about Lindsay, which they enjoyed because they knew the hit was dirty.

When Werribee was walking off the ground, I yelled out "Enjoy the holiday Lindsay!" to which a bunch of the north boys laughed.

Then all of a sudden an official for Weribee, who was wearing a suit, started having a go at me, yelling and pointing "You are a clown mate" to which I said "But he tried to kill someone today mate!"

We had a bit more of a laugh whilst the rest of the supporters were looking at me trying to figure out what was going on.

It was pretty crazy.

I wouldn't go that far yet.

He did have a very disappointing game though,

Of the tall forwards taken in his draft year Hipwood has probably been the most impressive. Weitering is a gun back but an average forward, the McKay twins are really yet to be seen and Francis although a different type of player has yet to cement his spot.

Except that we never quite reached the jaws of victory ?

1/ far too early to make such a call on a second year KPP tall

2/ Curse of first round pick -- like Oliver, Petracca, etc??

Surely you mean the curse of Nick Smith?

Not as comprehensive as the curse of Norm Smith, but for the first-round-pick tall forwards it hits, it can be horrible.

Like those changes also Dockett. But nothing will change if we don't change the way we play the game.

Handball happy Titanic....

That was one of the dirtiest hits I've ever seen

Thomas is one of the biggest waste of human space on this planet.

Pathetic ducking gutless snipper, and an ordinary player to boot. I loath him and North more than I could physically put into words. If we don't beat them in two weeks, I'm done with this season.

Rage aside, what is going on with Brayshaw? Very concerned!

The worst hoodoo, isnt it?  And we were so close last season.  Geez, as frustrating as this season has been so far, youre right...  losing to North for the 11th or 12th year in a row would be torture. They are despicable.

Melksham reported twice?
