Tell you now. Melksham will be here.

Who are you and what have you done with the real @Willmoy1947 ?

I can't see a single reference to "maggots" in that post. 😁

Essendon for their second rounder, hopefully we get back our first rounder (fingers crossed). OR we get one of their defenders plus their second rounders.

Only way we get back our 1st is if Petracca is traded

I want to know, where does Fritta go to the barber?

His hair is elite and never misses a beat.

Going nowhere.

In his current form, he is exactly the type of player we need more of; crafty and skilful while still doing the necessary team stuff.

Petracca is worth 50% of his value last year

The club has snookered itself by delusional view the list was great

It's not!

Exactly, he is one of 3 blokes we have in the team who is capable of kicking more than one goal a game including melksham . Imagine if fritta is traded and kosi gets injured we would be lucky to kick 5 goals a game.

We need to trade in and draft goal kickers

Our key forwards this year have kicked more than 2 goals on just 2 occasions. Petty kicked 4 against Freo. Turner kicked 3 against WCE and was then sent down back to save humanity. Arguably, the worst output from KPFs in decades.

consistently

His last few seasons have been a direct reflection of the team in general. Just hasn't competed hard enough and hasn't been prepared to do the sacrificial stuff. He was one of the key reasons for our finals success in 2021 because he put his body on the line and applied pressure...and lo and behold not only did it help the team but it helped his own output too. Has seemingly been unwilling to put in at that level since.

This is another example where it is in the control of the players themselves. I'd like to think he's smart enough to correlate his best football with his most physical and team oriented period. Or even take stock of how much his efforts in that period helped the MFC achieve something great and recognise that it really should be the baseline.

I also would like to think the leaders in the playing group have been on him about the physicality and sacrificial stuff...and simply demanded it of him. But have they?

Did you watch the game last night?? He went in hard, showed all his old skill, and was among our best 3 or 4 players.

Yeah that was great. But what about the prior 3 years? Where has that been? This is the absolute root cause of what is wrong with this football club. The absolute root of all of it. Too many people prepared to make excuses and/or prepared to accept less than what should be the minimum expectation of these guys.
