It’s ridiculous!! Too many extreme views riding the week to week emotional wave (=wrist slashers). 

For example;

Petty is not a forward, to drop him, he is out of form as a backman, to he is our most important Fwd and with him would playing in a Prelim. 

Smith is useless, always injured, to our most important swing man. 
 
Milkshake is past it, too old, to our second most important Fwd. 

Jefferson showing good signs with Casey (on the back of kicking a couple to a few goals), to his a twig, not going to make and a wasted 1 st round pick. 
 

I could go on. 
 
 

Please do

Come on Old Dee, we’re playing excellent football everywhere except the front third. A couple of tweaks and we’ll win the flag. 

You're not wrong but they're pretty big tweaks. I just don't see it.

Theyre not "tweaks"...  it's a rebuild.

Forwards

Petracca Tmac ANB

Fritsch Rivers Picket

- have Rivers play the Melks role of being the defensive forward in the air

I initially thought Rivers forward might be the go, but in the last quarter of the H&A season I have seen Rivers forward 3 times and he's never seemed likely when kicking for goal. Love him to bits but he needs alot of work to be a goal kicker.

FWIW Harmes would get eaten by Cripps, I think Viney needs the job.

You’re a drama queen. Yes, we’d all love Petty and Melksham playing but they’re not. We lost because of literally 2 poor shots on goal, that’s it.

Correct. I was sitting in afl members for the Collingwood game and I would never bring my 12 and 10 year old. Felt very unsafe 

I was in the AFL members (level 4) with my 8yo. We were fine.

Level 4 is generally fine. But level 1 during Collingwood and Richmond games is always filthy.

Yeah I would never feel it was unsafe to bring my kids though. My 10yo is a bit more sensitive and doesn't really like going to games anyway due to the crowds but my 8yo is fine.

They are a real pack of animals though I agree, I just laugh at them though. It's an experience that's for sure 😂

The radical move is Max to the TMac position and Grundy to ruck. Carlton will be forced to defend against Max on the 50 allowing space to Fritsch. Make sure Chandler is at Max's feet to take the crumb or handball. Max should not kick unless he has to.

I think our forwards need to play a bit smarter sometimes. Rather than attempting and mostly failing to clunk marks, helping the ball on its way to Kossie at the back of the pack could be just as effective.

I couldn't see us losing on Thursday and now I can't see us winning. 

Too true 😂😭

We'll have our opportunities to win, it's a matter of if we take them

Why dont you stfu with the drama queen bs eh.

Some of us arentvas twinkly eyed as you...then suck it up princess.

Our forward line and forward craft are but non existent presently. Those that were shoring it up are unavailable...but thats justba nithing to you apparently.  Not all would agree.

Others weve come to expect to chime in seem way off form.  ...

We lost...because we choked

Get that in your head.   Other teams are slotting them.... we miss the barn.

It is actually a concern... even during h/a games but here we are facing another inglorious exit.... because we dont have a functioning fwd group.

Im hoping Goody and Co can pull a few rabbits out. That would be good.

Many are struggling to see how.   As previous efforts have been less than successful. 

But by all means.....just a couple of goals

We had ample opportunity....  we struggle currently to convert.

We dont have Petty..We dont have Milky, we wont have up and down Roo boy either.

Whats your answer ??

Don’t do it to yourself

I think that we got stuck on the Romance of the surname, so much history, Murray was a giant in all respects, sad that it played out so poorly for us.😢😪

Time for a kip then Old. We lost the game rather than the Pies beating us, IMO. We had our chance and stuffed it up. 
 

I hope that’s not being too optimistic?? 

Doesn't worry me either way. Just put an alternative view.

Mate, that is essentially what the FD wanted to do when they recruited Grundy last year. Max hasn’t shown the desire or ability to get it going.

Having said that - it’s what we should do.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
