POSTGAME: Rd 05 vs Richmond

[Demonland 66,603]

Are we still a mathematical possibility?

[FarNorthernD 5,848]

Lots of ball, so little system

[Nasher 33,176]

We can play when we choose to. It is frustrating as all heck.

May and Hibberd huge in the second half. Hibberd might be a bit of a butcher but his efforts are crucial. 

Petracca is a star. If Oliver wants to be one he needs to fix those kicks under no pressure and do it yesterday.

[Bitter but optimistic 21,560]

Thank heavens for Corona!

I t means I can’t watch this [censored] live and it will be a mercifully short season

[Diamond_Jim 12,054]

Well I did open the changes thread last week with the comment that we should not play Lever and Smith in the same backline.

I got howled down

Time to find an interest in another sport for the season

[daisycutter 28,704]

dumb.....dumb.....dumb.....under 10 errors and decision making

 

did i say DUMB

[FireInTheBennelly 4,027]

So many 'learnings', so little learning.

One can only hope the board is learning.

MFC: "Can't talk now, got a plane to catch" 

[bing181 8,228]

Execution, execution, execution. That Oliver turnover in the last minutes summed it all up.

Nothing to do with Goodwin or the coaches, nothing to do with the system, everything to do with the players' failure to be able to execute even simple kicks/handballs, yet alone under pressure.

Petracca one of the few exceptions.

[Brownie 5,446]

Passengers everywhere.

Sparrow, Jones, Jetta and Weid / Brown have to come in.

 

[JTR 2,680]

I was rolling my eyes at Dermott pre match when he suggested we have a couple of stat padders in the middle.

Watching Oliver... ?

[WA Demon Boy 966]

if Smith plays next week I will burn MFC down

[dazzledavey36 49,414]

Goodwin banged on that Harley needed to work on his defensive pressure.

Melksham 3 disposal 0 tackled

Hunt 4 disposal 4 disposal 1 tackle..

We are a garbage football club. Something is rotting at the football club. We have the talent on paper, but our coaching is a shambles.

We can play when the oppositions ruckman and 2 others are out of the game.

Pack your bags Goody, you're not going to Sydney.

[Maldonboy38 6,034]

For the  most part, the effort was there.

But skills - appalling. No excuses. Especially for that late kick by Oliver. No pressure, 15 metre pass missing by 5 metres when we had all the momentum. Sums up our day actually. 

So often over the last 20 years, our skills have murdered us. 

 

[Josh 1,420]

It's an actual talent to take Oliver, Petracca and Brayshaw combined with Gawn and be useless.

 

On paper that is the most talented starting midfield in the league, in practice on the other hand ?

Finally Oliver Brayshaw and Viney are exposed. 

[reynolds46 823]

Sad to admit it but we are a bottom 4 side 

[KLV 1,686]

hope you’re embarrassed clarrie, that last effort was arrogant 

[Golly123 11]

Time to go... Can't win.

[Hampton 22 519]

Soundly beaten by an out of form team with no interchanges. 

[Radar Detector 1,339]

Footy is dead to me for 2020.

MFC can’t select the right side. Can’t dispose of the footy. Terrible coaching. Low scoring. 

We’ve had 2 years to correct this rubbish disposal.

Only thing that would save the year for me is a new coach.

Another disappointing result but what more should I expect.
