Personally i'd consider playing Trac out of the square and make him a leading forward. Tell him his job is to kick goals and give him the license to go for it. 

Too slow for that job he would not get away from the defenders and he is a poor kick for goal.

Unless he can run and find space and his team mates can kick the pill on to his chest, with bullet like precision, CP would be completely smothered and left standing on the rebound.

Yep !!!!

Trac is something of an opportunist player.

There's an art to being a lead up forward. He doesn't strike me as it.

Even than, he's be too slow with bullet passes as he would have 6'-3"  or 6'-4"  reaching past him defenders to punch clear. and again once ball is on the ground he is still too slow on his feet

His hands are quite good, so IMo, he should be rotating in the middle with Oli.

Absolute twaddle, don't know which bit some on here don't get, we have a team of 22 that has put in two poor performances, one where the midfield failed and were duly criticised,  the other where the midfield started to get it together but the team connection was horrible

We have players stuttering to find match day form, not from an injury point of view but pure and simple form

 

 

Are you still denying we had a horrible preseason? You said all summer that our injuries and surgeries were of no concern, despite half team being in rehab.

0-3, bottom of the ladder, terrible percentage, dysfunctional all over the ground.

What an insipid performance, from a club that has done nothing for almost 20 yrs. I knew this would happen when they inflated their egos in the off season. Let's evaluate last night's team.

Jones- done nothing this yr , runs one way poor disposal

Viney- underdone no mongrel

TMac- out of form can't get near it

Max- improving

Melk-- big head needs to stick to the basics

Oliver- down last night needs to hit the scoreboard.

Petrracca - bighead needs to stick to the basics

Brayshaw- great player only runs one way

Oscar- CASEY

ANB- fringe player loved by coach.

Hunt- Wingman likely peaked

FROST- Casey 2nds

Weids- improving slowly.

C Wagner- fringe

J Wagner-fringe

Nev- hindered by our ridiculous zone defence needs one on one

Lockhart- to early to say

KK- Not fit looks lost.

Salem- doing his best.

Harmes- doing his best

Fritz - improving played out of position

Hibberd- not enough run looks out of form.

 

The same defensive issues were around last year. We were scored heavily against by good kicking teams who kick through that defensive zone or that's what they call it.  Surely we couldn't be worse one in one like the Swans, Afterall as soon as they get it they just bash it fwd like we do.

Our fwd line, just a clogged up mess of players competing for the same ball.

Last night reminds me of 2013, letting a team kick more than four goals in the first quarter is just unacceptable?

Gutless performance what team do we play into form this week.

Disgusted

We always have terrible preseasons.
Injuries galore and the players never seem to learn anything from season to season.
B grade medicos and coaching dept.
B grade players.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    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,
