Surely not? 

You want to drop the bloke who kicked the most goals for us?

A win against Richmond is always welcomed. Still, I can’t believe how inaccurate we were. We could barely get past them. How many intercept mark did they take in our forward 50? Oliver, Bowey, May, Tracc all good. all we need to do it work on our forward line and we’ll smash the hawks

Viney & lever back next week will straighten us back up. Although I thought Dunstan did a few good things.

I just love Steven may. Just everything he does is great

Bring out The Mark Williams Footys on Wednesday. 
 

that was SO FRUSTRATING….

that was an 8 goal win, disregard the deplorable accuracy, were in control after the 1st 15 minutes.

How do Lever and Salem get back in, haha, the whole backline was fantastic  tonight

Lever straight in for Smith.

Salem coming in for one of Dunstan or JJ once fully fit??

The bad goal kicking was mainly through bad decision making and not properly thinking things through.

We’re so good we can have a shocking day in front of goals and still win

petty bowey clarry all very good. Good even contribution from the rest. 

let’s smash the hawks next week 

go dees

Hunt ahead of riv after today imo

Bombed it far too often allowing the Tiger's spare to intercept quite a bit.  Not enough patience / smarts coming inside.  Look for the give off lateral if you cant see a man forward and chip it around / change lanes till you can.

The first quarter i understand this is going to happen a bit more but for mine we should have looked to correct this as best as possible in the second but didn't.

Sure their pressure was high in the first half but we kicked 16 points in total.... 10 to the right hand side and 6 to the left.  Lots of brain snaps....literally

This was an 80 point (roughly) deemolition in the offing which we let slip.

Happy to take the win but some worrying brain fades / red veils in that first half for mine (may cost us against better opp going forward).

We owe them, after they had the nerve to draw with us last year

To Richmond’s credit they pushed us really wide in the forwardline. They really defended heavily the corridor because they didn’t want to get smashed. 
In the end they didn’t get smashed because we couldn’t kick straight 

That win was agricultural at best! “Too many of you blokes couldn’t hit the side of a barn.”

Back to basics lads

Smith out for Lever, when ever Salem is ready change him for Hunt. 
Viney might relplace JJ or Dunstan, not sure.

Lot to fix tonight. The selfishness going into f50/shots on goal that crept in tonight by a lot of players needs to be eradicated quickly. Trac being the worst offender.

Never in doubt. Not only is he the best on-baller in MFC history, he’s the best I’ve ever seen in the AFL/VFL. Phenomenal. 

If he can manage 287 disposals in the next 9 games (Ave 31.9) he'll beat Greg Williams (who I think was the fastest) to 4000 career disposals (139 games vs Williams's 140). That includes 17 shortened games in 2020.

I know disposals don't tell the true story of a player, but this would be a pretty impressive feat.

Hunts disposal is poor and Rivs is a better one on one defender, hunt is better at running forward, 

This team continues to astound. 

This was an ugly game, make no mistake. Our scoreline was hideous, our kicking into the forward line was largely out of character and we simply just looked out of sorts all night. However, even when this team operating at 40%, it's still enough to keep teams in check. That 5-10 burst in the third was all it took to put the result beyond doubt.

Bowey for Prime Minister.

It’s very hard to keep winning, even though we didn’t finish our good work from the back often enough, it’s very obvious we are extremely hard to beat. 
Shout out to Hunty, thought he was very good on Bolton. Petty will be a star if he’s not already.

Jayden is really building this season, perhaps his best game.

Tigers were hard to break down. Threw numbers behind the ball so we were forced to bomb away. Bit like soccer's version of parking the bus.

We wore them down eventually. Our one-percenters were brilliant all night. 

Clayton Oliver take a bow. Amazing game.

When our little blokes (Hunt, Rivers, and Bowey) were forced to defend one-on-one we looked a little vulnerable. Same with Smith on Reiwoldt.

Loved that we played for four quarter even though we weren't capitalising on the scoreboard.

 

 

Made hard work of but happy to rack up another W

Every game is going to be a dirty grind. That is the way our system works. Teams that want to back there own system over ours will tend to get exposed more than teams. So we may turn out a performance like last week every 4-5 rounds. 
 

But I bet if we looked at last years postgames we’d be complaint of lots of similar things. If ain’t broke….it wins you a flag. 

Brayshaw can think he's a better inside mid than winger but if he goes and plays inside he will just be another one of 100 players. On the Wing he is elite.

Another side that didn’t play their natural game against us. Slow the game down and chip the ball around.. Game conceded before the bounce. We have spooked just about every other side in the comp.

Put everything into stopping us and result: couldn't score themselves.

I pity the team we play 4 quarters against.

I don't think we've played more than 2 quality quarters in any match this year and we are still light years ahead of the competition. 

Remember when you'd be nervous at the footy?? I haven't felt it all year, I trust we'll get the job done.

 

Shoot it into my veins!!! Dimma just knowing they’re done and having to rebuild, saying how good we are… just such a massive chefs kiss to see that arrogant [censored] trying to be humble.
