I blame the AFL not the umpires. Why do we keep making it harder for the umpires? Baffling really. Leave the ruling as it was and it's a mark every day of the week. Apart from all that we have been atrocious anyway. With zero excuses. It was technically the correct decision - you're no longer allowed to use the underside of your boot to launch off the opponent's body - the Toby Greene rule 1
damon the demon 57 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Forward line a rabble - no confidence in any of them 1
Sorry kids 635 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I am wondering how much Gawn flatters our view of our midfielder possessions and ability. Any midfielder is going to get possessions with Gawn rucking but the heat needs to go onto the way the midfielders use the ball from those possessions. Oliver has probably had 20 and has done no damage and embarrassingly Collingwood are probably content to give him those 20. I remeber in Olivers first few years he used to handball to create space for the player to run into now, being well and truly in sync with our game plan he handballs to the first and closest target. 4

DubDee 26,710 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 T Mac needs to go Casey for his own good. Something is not right. May looks very good. Gawn and Salem very good. 1

chook fowler 19,783 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 The coaches have to take responsibility for this rabble surely. There is something deeply wrong. 4
olisik 4,060 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Interesting we have used only 34 interchanges opposed to Collingwoods 44 rotations. Wonder what that’s about?
Demon Dynasty 17,169 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Both key forwards are completely useless once the ball hits the deck. It's like having two men down in our forward half when it does. And neither of them can take an overhead mark Or kick a goal!! Why are we playing them??? ?? Edited June 10, 2019 by Rusty Nails
Deecisive 1,709 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 still time to turn this around. we just need to improve our disposal efficiency, it is woeful at the moment.

Weid has attacked the contest and at least done his job. Tommy Mac need to go back to Casey... Along with Trac, May is probably our best. Without him we would be at least 6 down. Needs to stay down back.

Negatives: skill level is deplorable. Petracca has been good, even very good. If others were able to take advantage of his work, would look even better. On the negatives, not sure how Hunt keeps being given a pass. People banging on about Spargo, but Hunt has done next to nothing today, as most days (apart from the odd cameo). Same with Hannan. OK, Hannan, benefit of the doubt for the long layoff, but if you look at what's happening with both of the H's, and you look at what's happening up the other end of the ground ... night and day.
FireInTheBennelly 4,104 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Would this help at all? Braydon Preuss 1 goal 3 behinds 13 kicks 6 handballs 19 disposals 6 marks 6 tackles 40 hit outs 140 dream team points 1

He's been sure with his hands, taken good options and is our only forward that give the opposition 2nd thoughts. Why if he is so good, he cant play in the centre? .I prefer Brayshaw, Harmes and Clarry so far. They have the tank to play in the middle. Not fit enough, me thinks. look forward to your votes.
Bombay Airconditioning 6,510 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Trade Petracca, I know we need mids but I’d take a key fwd.

Damo 3,466 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 We should argue who is our worst. Spargo, daylight, Hannan and Hunt.

#MFCtoTassie 1 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Unfortunately the club culture has been busted since Norm smith left (and probably before). We should have kept Roos and Jackson around to see the culture really evolve. As it is we went for a bloke to run the club in Pert who tests the culture in all the wrong ways and we have a coaching staff that’s weaker than last year. All bad decisions but the MFC is outstanding at making those. We are reaping the benefits of those decisions now. Send them to Tassie and put Melbourne out of its misery. 1
