This kickouts to Gawn, so stupid and one of the reasons we suck. Yes he might mark it. But who wants their Ruckman with the ball 55m out from your defensive goal, it's so predictable the next kick will go down the line. Finally changed it up before the siren and we look dangerous.

Yep there needs to be some variety, we actually slow things down to allow him to get into position. By that stage Port are set up to block and spoil him. 

I don't mind it being a plan A but have some other tricks up your sleeve, we are one of the few clubs that gets no return for the other team missing opportunities.

[praha 10,552]

did Goodwin just say we need to come up with a strategy?

[Deefensive Language 110]

Jones says he feels like he can offer something to that "not many others at the club can at the moment"

Fascinating...

Is this an example of an old head questioning the heart of the young brigade?

Bloody disgraceful half of football. Overpaid self important pretenders. Pack up and [censored] off and let us lead a normal life.

Gold!

[Youngwilliam 380]

Maybe Covid can do us a favour and knock out the rest of the country so this season can be null and void. I know the lads are playing like it doesn't matter already.

[rjay 24,178]

Selection mistakes again...

[Deecisive 1,669]

looks like the demons of old are back. our disposal and turnovers are killing us as usually. they are hungry for the ball and out players are just chasing tail. total lack skill

 

[Dame Gaga 2,453]

Where's Weideman? The only time I saw him was on the bench in the first quarter. Can someone tell me if he's injured.

[Soidee 1,496]

This club needs to own the fact they are B grade pretenders who rip the soul out of people who support them.  Careers and coaches now must be held accountable.  Sackings please enough is enough

We are getting nothing from the umps, our players getting clearly held onto but it gets completely ignored, they get a shot on goal from it.

First quarter 7 frees to 4, + multiple 50 metre penalties throw in, Second quarter the screw turns Port's way...

MFC like a drunken sailor all over the shop.

This is worse than the 80's

We have too many passengers. Hannan has done nothing except give away a needless 50m and subsequent goal. Salem plays too timidly, So many players who have gone AWOL. Harmes is a liability. They are mentally fragile. Might as well trade Gawn, because we don't benefit from his hit outs. Our midfielders can't use the ball. Only one who i have confidence in is Petracca. We really are becoming the laughing stock of the AFL. No success since 64.  That's 56 years. If we can't win at least play attractive football and try to encourage new supporters who don't mind that they may never experience a premiership in their lifetime, but still enjoy the footy. Bring back Mark Jackson & Allen Jakovick stc....

Is it too much to ask for a competitive game week in week out?

[Satan 2,819]

Should they be tested for cv?

[buck_nekkid 5,625]

We are being destroyed through better coaching again.  Port get it to the outside and go fast.  We get sucked to the inside and watch as the ball flies away.  Second to contests, lazy tackles, no vision, not running for each other.  As 2019 as any game this year.

Didn't want Lyon for a coach,but would certainly take him now. Someones got to teach these players how to play.

Clarkson is probably also gettable. Any of those 2 would be a hell of a lot better than what we have got.

ROSS.

Haha

I learnt a new slang term...

Pretty much sums up my covid isolation!  ?

[Ungarieboy 364]

Our kick out is easy to defend, as they know exactly where it's going and even if Gawn Mark's it, they've set up behind it.

[picket fence 15,735]

Basket case really insulting to those who have invested Time, Emotion and Money into this shiiizen Club!

[Sunnydee 128]

Worst game I have seen them play live in my life in this first half. Yuck!!!

This second half better be the best ... cause ... wow.

Would be a good start. I would love a coaching group with a strategy other than kick long to Gawn then bomb longer inside 50 to nobody

One handed efforts. Behind his opponent. As timid as a young calf for the slaughter.
