He's absolutely brilliant at times, followed by a howler. He started with us as a forward, and was ordinary. Was moved to the backline, and tbh, was ordinary. He's developed some really good traits over his time, He's become a decent player with sparks of brilliance, but I think he's more suited to the forward line, where he won't need to find a target as much, he'll know where the target is. I'd like to see him given another chance up forward.

Well of course, that's an opinion as well. I think most on here are starting to realise what they're seeing is as bad as what they're smelling. We stink, bad. Connection, cohesion, fitness is the narrative from the club. Skills, strategy, selection not up for discussion. You may be right. There are a few on here I think are 'club aligned'

Frost - Missed that handball????

Everyone's allowed an opinion, and everyone should be heard. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong. Still need to respect that. Unless of course you think missing half the preseason makes no difference. That's where I have to draw the line.

Wasn't saying that. This was on us, 100%.

Yep that's a shocker. I'll make some bold predictions. Umpire 17 does Friday night footy next week. Umpire 32 gets a week off, rubbish Sunday arvo game at best.

One might end up proving his worth. The other cost near on nothing, and is now worth even less. I respect your opinions on the game, but this dude is seriously no good.

Compare the pair. 1 is coming back from a long season ending knee injury, manages to get into position quick enough to take intercept grabs. Fluffs some kicks. The other is coming back from a short reprogramming exercise because, quite simply, he stank. He can't read the play, is too slow to even get to the contest, would be out-muscled anyway, shows zero urgency, spoils into the corridor, however successfully completes the easy bail out kick under no pressure (because the ball luckily bounced his way while he was manning thin air). Oh, nearly forgot, still stinks. I'm no massive Lever fan, but bugger me, this is bordering on the ridiculous.

Decent forwards? Huh? They're average at best. Next week it's Lynch and Riewoldt. Every team knows who to target. If Oscar plays 186 isn't out of the question.

Come on Moons. Were you ok with that [censored]?

Eg [censored] zactly

Of course it wouldn't. Another stupid decision by the match panel. Who would care if we lost whilst getting games into Dunkley, Lockhart, the 2 ruck system in Preuss. Tonight was just dumb, as a professional football club this was a fail. Lewis, Wagners, OMac. Even Smith who isn't the future. No club in the current environment would've made these selection decisions.

We're improving don't ya know.

Whoever made the decision to select Oscar McDonald needs to be sacked immediately. Absolutely unforgivable. It was obvious the aints were targeting that match up all night. The entire football world knows he's a dud, except for our FD. Heads need to roll before we get fined another $500k

Let's face it. If you're picking OMac while Hore is an emergency, you're not really trying to win the game are you!

They go to Oscar's match up every single time. Why would that be?

Yep. Can't wait for the circle (rhymes with) work to begin. How [censored] good are we!!!

Is Doulton's middle name Kingsley?

ANB gets double points for that surely. Handpass directly to the opposition's foot

Apparently wasn't reprogrammed enough to get him to spoil boundary side though

How long before Fritsch is moved back permanently?

Good to see Gil at the footy. The au pair must be looking after the kids tonight.

Hope the Preuss bashers enjoyed that Bruce goal

Ask them if our playing up there has increased supporter numbers for Adelaide or the Eagles.

No idea what to expect, confidence is shattered. If we were playing a top 4 side I'd say we're a chance, but against pretenders it's a lottery. I think if we lose this I might just start agreeing with Lyon's sentiment that last year was the anomaly. Please show us something MFC.
