How many points do we need to up by at three-quarter time to be a chance of winning?

I think it is best not to pay attention to him and just land some nice hard tackles on him at every chance.

Shame May isn’t playing….

This day has the potential to turn very dark if we don't get our game going. So fumbly, giving up the corridor too easy on turnover. I don't feel like Collingwood has done well to come back, I feel like we've given them their opportunities. 

At times we look like we're running with lead in our boots. I'd prefer to not hear the loading and de-loading excuse today. Lift boys, get it done so we can limp into the bye.

Our defence is looking better than the last couple of weeks. 

we need to ride out the push from the Pies in the 3rd and we’ll run over them by 30pts+

Put Harmes on DeGoey.  Needs a cooler. 

Kozzie the invisible man so far.  I'd be switching him on to Daicos as a hard lock and run off role if he wins the one on one....give him the challenge to win defensively first...then go go go to damage.  He cant just be a forward crumb in a big game as he just doesnt get enough of it (at this point...might happen later as he gets stronger, tougher, more experience)

Bowey is well out of form unfortunately. Hunt or Rivers would be more effective on form.

Yep, needs a run in the 2’s, as he’s been having 0 impact on games lately.

It's obvious from level 4 of the ponsford we are just not moving. We get the ball and the team is stagnant. No one leading into space. M.brown non existent

Harmes streaming into the 50 runs to 40m and doesn’t make the distance or doesn’t have a shot. I’m unsure which it was but I was sick to death of this from last week as well 

I'm not sure why he'd pass to Jackson. We had momunteum there & that play was great out of the middle. Harmes had to finish that off.

Playing this ultra defensive, slow and boring game plan is just so bad too watch when our contests and effort to get to contests are poor. It's funny how people blame the forwards but literally every time we get the ball backward of centre we slow it down and kick to contests...and we look extremely bad in the contest...

Some good signs but gee our decision making and efficiency is poor at times.

Need Kozzie to get involved and ANB to make more of his opportunities.

Jackson better this week but not making them pay.

Oliver, Petty, Jordon good.

I think it's all because of our poor kicking of late, players seems to lack confidence and prefer to defer responsibility

Correct, he serves no purpose, doesn’t crash packs and can’t take a contested mark.

I would much rather Weid up forward despite his recent performances.

I'll be very, VERY surprised if we win this. Collingwood just look primed to absolutely go nuts. Just like Freo. Brace yourselves fam.

No thanks.   They kill us on turnovers through the middle, should be in front if they kicked straight

So what’s your plan, do the same thing and hope like hell for a different result? Freo, Sydney now pies playing the same way and cutting us up, if not for their inaccuracy pies would be in front. We won’t win with slow ball movement down the wings, as we don’t have aerial marking ability inside forward 50 to compete with the 18 pies players firmly entrenched down there when we give them time to get back

s it time to move Trac forward? Sure he got a few touches that quarter, but his impact is minimal atm

Got a serious problem with his confidence at the mo. Something’s going on with the boy I reckon, hope he’s ok, and it’s nothing more than just a natural human lull.

We’re just not sticking tackles like we were last year. It makes a big difference that pressure, completely changes how they’re going forward and allows our defenders to zone off and intercept. Without the defensive pressure going up, our defenders can’t zone off and can’t stop someone as tall as Cox on the air.

We’ve had our weapons taken away for us for the last 4-6 weeks and we’ve been brought back to the middle of the pack. On form we’re obviously not top four, but there’s still plenty of time left in this season to get back on track before finals.The midfield and forward line need complete resets. Midfield getting embarrassed around the ball and poor kicking inside 50. Forward line not converting, even when they manage to get shots.

Trac 14th in the team re AF points to the half.

Gets the footy. Impact is low.  He’s not running or hitting targets. Stats can be deceiving in terms of impact.

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.

    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
