We should play Oliver as a tagger (although watching Daicos accelerate after disposing of the ball, I am not sure he will get close).

 

What about turning Sparrow into a tagger / defensive mid? Does nothing else and has probably hit his ceiling already

    he doesn't have the pace nor the workrate

    at 24 he should be entering the peak of his midfield powers

    instead, he looks headed for the vfl with his lack of effort

    Not wrong was expecting some sort of comeback but alas zip though we get the pies at the right time with their injuries. 

    Same here.

    One thing I have admired is our never say die attitude.

    But we didn't have it here .

    He didn't apply a single tackle.

    He occasionally plays a solid game but rarely strings a few of them together.

    We should have focused more on Jordan and pushed Sparrow out.

    For a team that was famous for it's midfield and made history with it's bang bang bang moments, we have suddenly found this to be one of our biggest weaknesses. Smashed by more than double in the clearances.

    Combined with a fwd line that could not kick more than fifty points we have become a shadow of last year's form.

    Oliver and Sparrow are struggling big time this year and JV looks slower and seems to be less involved. And on occasion we have moved Tracca forward. And as good as Tracca is, for some reason he often takes at least two quarters to start impacting games.

    What are you talking about? 
    I saw Maynard take out Angus with the Full Shoulder and Execute.
     

    Whether the Coach gave instructions or not is irrelevant 

     

     

    Correct me by showing me your original post.

    I replied on the basis that you stated McCrae told Maynard to do it.

    As I said..regardless of AFL mischief he should have been suspended and ,at the time  ,that he probably wouldn't be.

    I am happy to apologise if you show your post.

    I do think it's old news though in any case

    Clarrie will come good.  It's most likely not going to be this year though. 

    No preseason to speak of and other issues distracting for 6+ months.

    Yes thankyou.

    It's almost libellous ( as we are so often warned) 

    I am just going with embarrassing, though I can't imagine what would happen if it was said on here about say,  Viney and Goodwin.

    I could have better observed that the idea of Melksham arising from the ashes as the saviour resembles Petty going forward for a few weeks and resolving long term forward issues.

    As it happens I' m a fan of both and would find a spot for Maynard if he was available!!!!!

    You're in lala land if you think we have a chance against the Pies next week. Even with all their injuries they are a club with heart and pride, something sorely lacking at the MFC for 60 years.

    Agree with you except I have faith for 1 last time in Max and Jack dragging the team along effort-wise. They can only do it so often.

    Well that's because in done in Confidence as they are in discussions with Glen Eira Council and state government that's not hard to understand.

    How about telling us they are in discussions with these groups?

    without telling us the details?

    They have said they are in discussions, this is not an easy project especially dealing with Glen Eira Council  and all the different sporting groups trying to be there as well.

    I have no idea what he went through in the off season but this is so disappointing... supposed to be our best mid ever in his prime and with a team in the window... no we are free falling back to the pack and the likes of Viney Maxy and May are getting to the end

    Right - you have no idea .

    The real issue is the back line that has saved the mids and forwards for the last 3 seasons has finally cracked.

    Geez they've been good but it had to end eventually

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
