Jordon - 4 qtr contributor

Just had a laugh with my son (who also attended) about having a crisis meeting when we are top of the ladder! My spin is that we just got beaten by two late (dubious free kicks included!) goals by a potential top four team when we have injuries and out of form troops. We can afford to do some creative thinking. This is what we came up with in our morning after analysis.

Jackson plays key forward (BBB to find form with Casey - a bit like last year! M Brown or Weid to the bench)

Majak plays from the bench to give Max a rest when needed ( this could be as low as 45% ground time. Majak won't be embarrassed in the ruck contests!)

Rivers in for Hunt (been steady/consistent but dropped off in the two losses when we were scrambling for backline cover)

May comes in for Tomlinson (or Petty if he is injured). Salem, Harmes & Tomlinson will be better for the run. Hibberd not far away)

We have become too predictable! Time to show we have a few new tricks up our sleeve.

On yesterday's form, too soon for JVR (yes we also watched the entire Casey game). Turner close to a call-up.

Could we try Tomlinson forward?

Can’t be worse than current occupants lately.

Not saying he wasn't good, but there's no va va voom, x factor, call it what you want. I call it vanilla. I'm concerned about our up and coming midfielders.

You have to remember that Sparrow & Jordon are following instructions and playing a role within the team, there role is to help our va va boom, x - factor stars shine. Their time will come just as it has for Harmes.!!!

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    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
