Absolutely [censored] me that Petty and AJ give away some of the most unnecessary free kicks. Unless AJ has a remarkable last 3qtrs, then there's surely no way he plays next week.

JvR actually worried Moore a bit last year so I'd definitely bring him in.

Mids need to wake up

Switch Turner to Keeler.

Get May off him

Not enough pressure on the Saints ball carriers. They're moving the ball too easily, leaving our defenders panicking

This.

Our defenders back themselves to close space but they can’t do anything with zero pressure in the forward line and midfield

Play this at the MCG and you get the same turnovers and lack of effort

Suspect that unless there's a rapid improvement it'll be Jeffo or JVR for Petty next week. Not marking is one thing, but getting constantly outworked and pushed off the contest is something else.

He has no body strength in the contest most of the time unless he's on a favourable match up. Not enough to hold down any key forward role at AFL level anyway.

There's no burst speed off the mark either.

That lack of strengh / power off the mark means he is most often unble to get separation to hold / create space or lead up.

Generally he just isn't mobile enough or powerful enough in any form to hold down a KF role and be effective at it.

Not sure what the FD are seeing in him as a KF.

He's also well covered as a Tall Defender by the likes of T-Mac at the moment. I just wouldn't play him at all and instead look to the likes of Jeffo, JVR (if he hits AFL worthy form at some point) as forwards and if we need another tall defender, start blooding Adams instead.

Lazy + arrogant.

Don't blame the ground, we're on the [censored] beach right now. Smacked in the middle, smacked in 50-50 balls, some of the weakest efforts going round.

Classic case of thinking it will all just happen, the overconfidence was on full display when Kozzie decided he was better than the system. Handed the Saints the momentum and barely had an I50 for the rest of the quarter.

But believe it or not, while the damage should be done it's not quite yet, have to do it the hard way but please come out with fire.

Umps are smashing us.

Frees given in critical areas

Bowey gets a shove in the back. Umpire 22 on the spot, play on! Why am I not surprised? 🤮

Gerard Healey will be pleased with the score

Has the game gone past Lever? I feel like he never wins a one on one.

Oh dear Lever.

Tom `Mac for Lever? Hard to see, but bleeding goals/scores with Lever at the moment.

Has AJ kicked a footy before??

langford our best player once again

AJ not a forward with his kicking.

Goal kicking coach has to be the highest priority at this club.

AJ's goal kicking no good

Stick a fricking tackle, please!

May and lever = cooked

skills coach required

how choc has held onto the role for as long as he has given our regression in ball use beggars belief

MFC rarely give you a stress free game.

It's either the other team scoring or us missing sitters.

Not much fun

Not just his goal kicking, all of his kicking. Mr. Spray.
