Someone explain what Smith and Wagner did to get a game this week. 

Wagner did his job last week and did his job this week. He's frustrating because he always makes a few head scratching mistakes but overall he's solid enough.

Smith kept Papley very quiet. Did a few bad things and has to get more involved in the game but when Smith was on him Papley had 1 behind which was a top from 55.

If you said Papley was held to 2 behinds you'd be pretty happy.

Nup

who cares, can’t do this much longer

born in June 64 

been a member since 85 & are tired so very tired 

Ok I’ll stop winging 

Lucky you,you were on this Earth when we won our last VFL Premiership.

 

We still haven't won our first AFL Premiership in the national competition and it ain't coming in the next 10 years with this list and coach!!!

B: SALEM, MAY, LEVER

HB: RIVERS, TOMLINSON, HIBBERD

C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, VANDENBERG

HF: MELKSHAM, BROWN, FRITSCH

F: SPARGO, WEIDEMAN, PICKETT

FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY

IC: BRAYSHAW, BENNELL, BAKER, LOCKHART

IN: VANDENBERG, PICKETT, BENNELL, BAKER, LOCKHART, HIBBERD

OUT: SMITH, OSCAR, ANB, JONES, HARMES, J.WAGNER

Edited by WERRIDEE

 

Can we please take our blinkers off, the players we continue to back are not good enough,let's see others

Lockhart, Bedford, Chandler, Bennell, add in Hibberd and Pickett

Of a 4 day break a few need a rest or a chop out

Out Oscar, Jones, Smith, ANB, Fritch who can stay out till he shows a desire to tackle

In Hibberd, Picket, Pruess (Freo play 2 ruckmen and give Max some relief) Lockhart and Hannan


There is justification to drop a hell of a lot of that team after that performance. Put all the names in a hat and draw out 6 to drop.

Start with a clean sheet of paper and a list of available players and start all over.

Defence: May, Lever, Rivers and Hibberd (if fit) are the only 4 I would pencil in as certainties.

Ruck: Max

Mid Field: Pettracca, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Langdon, Tomilinson and Harmes (Had his best game of the year)

Forwards: Can think of no one  I would have as certainties.

FB: Lever - May -  Jetta

HBF: Rivers - Hibberd - Salem

? Langdon - Petracca - Tomlinson

HFF: Brayshaw - Brown - Harmes

F: Pickett - Weideman - Bedford

Fol: Gawn - Oliver - Viney

IC: ANB - Baker - Lockhart - Preuss

5 fresh sets of legs in that team, Jetta, Bedford, Baker, Lockhart and Preuss. Out - Melksham, Jones, OMac, Wagner and some other noddy.

Preuss can back up Max and both can spend time forward when required. I still do not understand how we can have one of the best 2 ruckmen in the comp and lose the clearances week after week. 

After that game it all smacks of re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.

 

FB: Hibberd  May  Tomlinson
HB: Salem  Lever  J. Wagner
C;  Harmes  Oliver Langdon
HF:  Pickett  Melksham    ANB
FF: Fritsch  Preuss  Hannan
Foll: Gawn   Viney   C. Wagner
Int: Petracca Brayshaw  Vanders  Lockhart

Out: Smith, Jones,  Oscar,  Brown, Weideman (rested), Rivers (rested), Spargo (rested), 
In: Hibberd, Vanders, Lockhart,  Preuss, Hannan, Pickett, C. Wagner

Clearly the midfield needs fresh legs. Harmes on ball or wing. Vanders in. C Wagner worth a try.

Backline goes back to the unit that mostly has been doing the job.

Forward line needs a shake up. Weid just looked spent today. Time for Preuss to have a go and can spell Max efficiently. If we don't have a good half forward lets stop playing with one and use the mid sized guys.
 

the 4 day break should give Goodwin the opportunity to make wholesale changes.

Get some legs into the team Pickett/Bedford/Hunt/Baker etc

Get Preuss back in this week. 

Will Hibberd be right?

 

 

Out: Viney, Oscar, Wagner, Jones, Melksham, Fritta.

In: Don't give a [censored]. Just get those guys out quick smart.

WTF if Smith plays again l won't be watching. O Mac, Jones see ya later & the rest l don't care. Absolutely disgusting effort. Turned it off at half time. Once again they let us down big time. Membership for next season hanging by a thread. 

 


Smith cannot play. He just can't. 

And it's probably time to give Bedford a run

 

out: Jones, Smith, Viney Fritsch

in: Hibberd, Baker, Lockhart, Bedford

Thought Wagner was ok.....80% efficiency compared to Viney 50%  & 4 turnovers.

What’s the go with Dunkley? Another wasted pick?

Out: Tall defence and any players who pull up sore. In: Run and carry to counteract four-day break and new challenges to excite team. Trac to start in goal square, Brayshaw on his brother, Smith should hard tag on Fyfe. 

That means Out: Rivers (rested because he's a kid and he doesn't have the background workload to back up well, even though he would normally play), O.Mac, Jones, Spargo, Wagner, Fritsch (something's not right with him). In Pickett, VDB, Hibberd, Hunt, Baker and Lockhart. If ANB and Brayshaw are sore then they should rest as well with Hannan or Bennell their replacements.

B: Lockhart May Salem

HB: Smith Lever Hibberd

C Langdon Brayshaw VDB

HF: ANB Brown Melky

F: Pickett Petracca Weid

Ru: Gawn Oliver Viney

Int: Baker, Harmes, Tomlinson, Hunt


Where the F is Toby Bedford?

He hasnt played since round 1.  Heaven forbid we bring in a young fresh runner with some toe.   

Omac - NEVER TO PULL ON AN MFC JERSEY AGAIN. 

Wagner - Should never have been back in the team. 

Jones - Retire NOW.

Smith. LOL.

Out -     O Mac, Jones,  Fritsch, Meksham, Viney, Wagner, Smith, ANB,   Harmes

Edited by Pickett2Jackson

Smith wasn't too bad if you watched closely.

The problems came from the entry into forward fifty and lack of forward pressure.

Tackling was WAP from the get go.

Lots of falling over, lots of bad disposal.


Hows this for a line up..

Chasing tail makes it look worse but he tackled well.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
