Trac is the only one showing some energy and intent. Can’t understand the negativity towards him. TMac is the one that makes my blood boil, along with many others.

People get excited by the mark he just took, a player with ability would have taken a couple of steps and nailed the goal.

The saddest thing is we only have 2 best 18 players unavailable...we are miles behind the ladder leaders in game plan, skill execution, ground speed, fitness...why did the football world think we were top 4 material?

Thats why Weideman needs to play out the year in the seniors.

There is potential and shows glimpses. 

Needs to clunk more. Hes showed great signs 2nd half. Better delivery.

Glimpses to consistency hopefully.

Not sure Salem should be playing, doesn’t look right at all. Wouldn’t surprise me given the actions of our medical staff at the start of the year with Joel Smith.

Fight till the end 

Dare we dream?

Both Key forwards are flawed footballers with no penetration on their kicking.  They both sit back on their kicks and shank them more often than not.

Trade both along with other NQRs and plenty of delistings for a genuine goal kicking marking key forward and a genuine small forward before the premiership window closes.

Hannan makes such a difference in our forward structure, and things can only get better as he gets more time on ground.

The Petracca attempted tackle on Moore : drop your shoulder and put him down. 

Maxy Gawn is the Premier Ruckman  AA all the way!  Grundy another second  Oh Well now you know. 

30 poss and 31 HO. so far .

Our medical staff sent Frost back on today when he had concussion, so wouldn’t be surprised.

Does anyone know what’s happened to Tom McDonald?

Time to [censored] off McDonald for good. Honestly i am over his [censored].

Pruess in for TMac next game.

That's that then.

Haha Thanks Tom

Wonder when someone will teach our guys to kick straight?

20 scoring shots each down by 25

Showing 'glimpses' doesn't win you games of football.

I will repeat - if our supporters are happy to run with him and TMac as your talls again in 2020 we will finish bottom six. Again.

Can’t kick for goal, can’t expect to win 

PS And field kicking too.

Outside of the Neeld era this is the worst coached MFC team I've ever seen.

It's so sad what has happened to our forward structures.... Clearly we are 6 months behind the rest of the comp when it comes to how to set up and move the ball with the new rules.

Rubbish. Bailey was an awful coach. 1999, 2001 and 2003 were much worse than 2019.

But yes Goodwin has been found out. Most coaches don't recover from this degradation, not this early in their careers.

The worst thing about it is that Goody doesn't even know that he's been found out. So he's ignorantly plodding along, blaming everything on injuries (only partly responsible), connection etc, so he doesn't work on his gameplan, or bring someone in with some footy IQ.

 

Last year he was a promising coach with tactical ideas that were different than anything we'd seen in the AFL. This year the difference had been limited preseason, rule changes and injuries all of which make devising and introducing new tactics hard. Let's wait until next year to worry about this.

I’ve said it before and will say it again. Goodwin can’t coach. Been told by someone in the afl that he is still struggling not having the runner out there like last year and can’t adapt to it. Met with afl just a few weeks to discuss it...

That's what happens when you play the first half of the season with one of the youngest 22s in the comp, with an injury risked preseason that means you haven't been able to decide, train and teach tactics to address structural rule changes. The no runner rule affects younger inexperienced teams more than older, successful teams. Which of our players would you expect to be providing on field direction in our back 6 this year?

Legiment issue and discussion from Goodwin.

I'm not even a McDonald hater, he's low on form. But, what a momentum killer missing that fairly straight forward shot. Rebound and Collingwood ice the game.

Placing all our chips on Tmac is a good as investment as Enron. What a disaster.

Guy must be battling some demons of mind. He was a tripple A player and incredibly accurate  Would win games for us.

Shame we didnt have a proven 2nd forward.

Club was complacent not getting a replacement for Hogan.
