Agree. You'd think with 6 days in lockdown you'd think Yze, Chocco or someone could coach both Jack and James into taking the first option or somehow getting a clean disposal.

Hibbo didn't put the brakes on Stringer. Jake had 24 disposals, his third highest this year. He was among the Don's best. Greene had 17 disposals and kicked 5.2, his equal best this year. He was close to the Giant's best. Hibbo had 3 disposals. Hibbo's disposal is atrocious. He kicks it lace out to an opponent or, like Jones, bombs long. Bowey had 13 disposals (10 to half time) and was close to 100 % efficient. I'm sick to death of the likes of Viney and Hibbo who, whilst they give their all, butcher the ball leading to opposition goals. Hibbo's stuff ups lead directly to two Hawk's goals. A 'loss' that could define our season.

No way should Hibberd take Bowey's spot. Hibbo has been poor this year. Fumbles have cost us goals and he is still bombing it. Bowey a much better distributor of the ball.

Viney and Harmes deficient in the same areas - unable to break tackles, too often caught with the ball, and poor disposal. Jack will hold his spot on the back of his tackling. I think JJ offers more than Harmes. Re Langdon - he'll need to adapt his game when we play a K park where there are no wings (so to speak).

I had hoped for exactly these changes, didn't expect them, and very happy to see them. Hibbo has struggled the last two weeks. His fumbles and a hand pass straight to an opponent cost us a goal against the Hawks. Sparrow's DE is well up (76%) albeit over 16 games. He's a pretty good kick for goal. Not unhappy LJ still in. He's not going to improve sitting on the sidelines (or playing VFL practice matches).

Schache a strange selection. Has played 3 games since 2019, averaging 6 disposals. Furthermore, their back six is not overly tall - only two 'talls' - Keath (197) and Cordy (193). If Max or LJ stray forward the Dogs will struggle to find a match.

Butchers: Viney Players who bomb: Hibberd, Jones Better kicks: Sparrow. Melk

I apologise if this has been covered elsewhere; does anyone know how many MFC memberships with a GFG have been sold? Disclosure: I've been a MFC member for close to 60 years and a Redlegs member (includes GFG) for 20 years.

I'm 20km down the road from Kardinia Park, although I doubt spectators will be allowed. It would be handy prep for our Cats game to play there. Both MCG and Marvel occupied Sat and Sunday, and the Dogs v Crows in Ballarat. Tassie the only other option altho' it could well close also.

They do have some good young talent, but 5 of their best 6 (Ziebell, Cunnington, Tarrant, Goldy, Atley) are all on the wrong side of 30. Not unlike the Cats. A look at their best 6 every week and it's the same (old) names.

Sorta happy we don't play Norf again. Surely they have this.

Cunnington's goal.

Go Norf.

Two WC goals in less than a minute. Bugger.

Pretty good camera work on Ryan's goal.

Sparrow.

Not able to check it ATM but from memory all events scheduled at Metricon for 2021 are on their site with date and time.

Last time I looked at the Metricon Stadium site we were scheduled to play the Suns Sat July 23rd night.

Three word summary Joeboy (or other)?

Remember to take the plastic off the cheese. And 40/60, that's a fair sugar fix.

He was interviewed post-match on ch 7. Comes across as a ripping young man. Exactly as my mate (a Crows supporter) who taught him some 5 years ago, said he was. For those who missed the interview Tom said he was rapt to be playing on the likes of Fyfe and Neale. I think (and hope) he'll be with the MFC for quite a while. He's skilled and tough.

Sam has no excuses next Monday. Most likely get Roughead. I'd expect Weid to kick 3+ The Bombres the following match. Similar story.

Getting better each week. Could teach a few how to one-grab mark (Weid, ...).
