If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7?

Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop.

This is simple.

Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

Game is going past him at an alarming rate

Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily.

Hibbo: 1 disposal

Toby Green: 3 goals

Time for a rethink.

Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job

They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

being tough isn't an asset anymore

I would trade him in a heartbeat.

He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

Nothing to do with Ben Brown not being out there. Nothing. 

Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
