I think he’s going at about 70% of what’s needed.

Whether he’s lazy, unfit or or just doesn’t have any more capacity doesn’t really matter.

well as you have no [censored] idea how about you don’t call him lazy , not trying, lacking leadership?

[Gawndy the Great 9,009]

Pickett has too many of these types of games. He has to stamp it out to get to the next level. 
 

[Doug Reemer 1,158]

Viney sent a big msg flexing the guns after his set shot. He ain’t [censored] leaving 

The show goes on!

It’s either a coincidence or he’s doing too much, surround by new players, out of position. He’s having a dip. Anyone suggesting otherwise is mental 

Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. By playing him we risk injuring him anyway & there goes any trade value. Imagine if he does an ACL. Will get nothing for him. We’ve known for a whole month. Would much rather get games into Kynan Brown.

The boys are playing with passion, giving their all and are in front. What more can a supporter ask for?  
 

While Missing Trac Clarry and May, 3 of our best 5 players. 
But no doubt supporters will still complain because nothing bring Melbourne fans more joy than complaining.

I have a secret that I must reveal:

I love Jack Viney ❤️

We all love him despite his many flaws, but you can never doubt his heart.

[Little Goffy 14,027]

Damn it that's cruel  15 minute break at work. Puck up my phone and utshalf time.

What have I missed?

Largest goal tally for the year already.

See sawing affair. GC have missed some easy shots but we've looked more dangerous inside 50.

Turner having a great game in the forward line. Viney ferocious. 

Pickett needs to get involved if we're going to hold on.

So just sit our fittest player on the sideline when half our team doesn’t run? It’s stupid. Any of the 23 out there could get injured and impact our plans for next year and their summer. You have to play someone so it may as well be one of our better players, regardless of his plans for next year.

Kynan Brown is a battling skinny kid who does not need afl games yet. If he name was Kynan Smith he probably wouldn’t be on an afl list and/or no one would care that he’s in the VFL.

It would be fantastic to pull away in the 3rd Quarter 

After Halftime has been a slogfest this Season 

If we can't beat this propped up, pretend team, then there is seriously as something wrong with us as a club.

We will win today.

[DubDee 24,438]

Overall it’s been a solid effort. Suns have been off but after a poor start we have played pretty well

Nice to see out future fwd line starting to click. Turner and Petty looking good. 

[dimmy 1,300]

Apparently the only bloke playing for Dees is Viney.

Gold Coast must be winning by 50 points judging by the negative vs positive  posts. Remember the reason we are not out there is because the blokes that are, are better than us !!!!

Very little. 

Disco’s crumbed a couple of nice goals.

Viney had a big second quarter. 

Max has largely beaten Witts but given up a couple of goals.

Our skills have been poor, the Suns have been worse.

And Sparrow got a nasty ankle injury that looked a little high ankle sprain ish.

If nibbler doesnt pick up , he should be dropped

You are crazy.

[Ollie fan 3,097]

So happy with how Tholstrup is looking

[whatwhat say what 22,196]

imo gc17 are pathetic - that they have had access to so much talent over the course of their time and they still haven't got near finals is an indictment upon them as a franchise

these sides very much look like teams who are sitting 11-13 on the ladder

[hardtack 10,422]

Pickett has been the laziest player on the ground today… just jogging around, applying pretty much zero pressure… thankfully one of the only times he did apply a little pressure and got his only possession, resulted in a goal assist.

I’m loving Turner’s game, Hore is showing a bit down back, Rivers managed to get himself somewhat back on track after a horrendous first quarter, Salem has been mostly good, but I have to wonder what has gone wrong with his kicking game. I’m not McVee is ready for a move to the midfield yet, having had only four possessions.

Here’s hoping McVee, Fritsch and Puckett can get themselves more involved in the second half.

[640MD 3,326]

So for half a game at least. Goodness is a champion coach

[leave it to deever 17,462]

Great to see us kick more and handball less, tackle more and mark more than the opposition at half time. And despite less free kicks and i50s, we are in front. Well done Dees.
