Good question, I felt like it was a poster each for Kade and Trac but might be wrong. 

We hit the post 3 times in total, pretty sure Kade did it twice cos I was laughing cos i had him to score 2 in my multi.

    Bets and vested interests win out when it comes to remembering things you would know better than me 🙂

    Mine was dead the moment '2-goal a game' Mihocek decided to bottle it.

    Agree, great to see his commitment both in the signing and on the field. I've seen enough of his early skillset, scoring (albeit not recently), defensive pressure, one grab marking and fine delivery, etc to be happy.

    I do wonder where this places Jordon tho.

    Well done Kade, well done MFC.

    How the MFC has changed. Players used to 'wait until season's end' blah, blah, blah... but now they are lining up to re-sign. We are recent premiers, a destination club, and a genuine contender for the flag in 2023. Good times.

    These kind of signings are a great indicator of internal cohesion and confidence. Although we can probably fit only 2 small forwards into our 22, Chandler is most likely sitting in 1st place at the moment, with Spargo and Kozzie in such poor form. I also like the fact he often plays well in the last quarter. 

    After the bye, hopefully his fatigue has levelled out, and he has enough recovery energy to kick the goals he was kicking earlier in the season.

    Hopefully he will be the next one to sign, he doesn't get much love on here but is a very good player, IMO and we shouldn't lose him.

    I reckon your angst should be directed at far more senior players than him who have been struggling to kick regulation goal. *cough* Gawn and Trac *cough*

    Yeah but they are executed their main rolls.

    Chandler is there to pressure and kick goals when he gets his chance!

    Love it. He is like a little terrier on field. Chases, tackles and attacks. 

    Yes, and more and more he can be seen directing traffic.

    Well done to Kade. He's had to wait for opportunity and he's grabbed it this season and proved he belongs at AFL level. Just needs to straighten his radar and start nailing his shots like earlier this season!

    Can someone update Kate's (i.e. Google's) Wikipedia page please?

    Fixed. I amended it. 👍🏽 But why did you call him Kate? Typo?

    On top of all these fine comments about Chin there is one thing I've always loved about him, he's got the swagger.

    You can tell with guys like these that they dream of kicking a goal and have goal sense, you need to be a little greedy as a specialist small forward. Obviously we don't want David King BBQ levels but you have to want to kick a goal and on top of his pressure and running work rate, he always wants that goal. There's a heap of small forwards in the league that are role players and get the blinkers in front of goal. Confident he'll get consistency and become a real threat with limited opportunities. 

    Hope he bags a hatful next week.

    No we all love Kossie BUT he is not in good form. First game vs Dogs  that's what he can do and simply he is a little undisciplined and not in the right crumbing spots too many times.

    Needs a small wake up call.

    BUMP!

    I thought he was very good yesterday and has been much more consistent this year - last year, he ran out of steam by this stage. He seems to be Nibbler-esque in his team first mentality and a couple of the younger guys have mentioned him as a role model.

    His contested marking is excellent for his size: there was one that he took at full stretch on the Shane Warne wing, where he beat a much taller opponent. The highlight, though, was in the final couple of minutes, when he sat Harley Reid down in a crunching marking contest (I’d love to see a replay of that!).

    Well done Chin - keep it up son.

    Was still making lung-busting sprints late in the 4th quarter. Key component of the forward line pressure.

    We have a log jam of just okay small forwards, Chandler is one of the few which would hold some value, should move him on and take the pick

    Trade Chandler for what? A late second rounder? In order to play who? Spargo who’s been MIA all year? Laurie who doesn’t have the speed, power or marking game to be a small forward? McAdam, Sesto or AMW who don’t have the tanks.

    Chandler’s rock solid in his effort each week and a great culture guy, he won’t be traded.

    We have a log jam of 'just ok' small forwards and you want to get rid of the best of them?

    Love chandler - tough, hard runner and is team first player. 
    24 years of age and coming into his prime.

    Can’t play West Coast every week but Chin was very good yesterday and was good against Brisbane too. 

    Continuity in the talls and finally getting some run back through the middle should let the small forwards find more of the ball in space too.

    This is the last 10 players taken at Pick 35:
    Harrison Wigg, Marcus Adams, Josh Prudden, Oscar Clavarino, Bailey William (WC), Flynn Perez, Connor Downie, Paul Curtis, Olli Hotton, Cooper Simpson.

    Most aren't on an AFL list and I'd only be tempted to have a look at Bailey Williams, though he's a long way off being a star.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
