Changes vs Gold Coast
Ah ok, thanks. That explains the Jack Steele $2000 fine I guess. He perhaps should've punched Maxy in the face, apparently there's no charge for something like that....

Changes vs Gold Coast
Did anyone else notice toward the end of the game big Maxy was unable to compete in a ruck contest? Looked to be having some kind of back pain I thought???? No idea though as he was ready to go for the next ruck dual. I thought it was odd but no mention of it from commentators or anyone since.

Intentional, high contact, [censored] force. 1 week.

Andrew Gaff
We'd probably try to turn him into an inside mid unfortunately.

When did they self-report? They were about to be raided and were warned in enough time to destroy evidence. Delusional [censored]!

Umps will be looking to fix up the free kick count here, if Power make the most of it they'll win this.

Sure it wasn't drug awareness for coaches? Too soon?????

Leigh Fisher (ex Saint) is one of the umpires for the St Kilda game. Should this be a worry?
I think 'The Brazilian' suits him better.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
Agreed. I'd love to see a forward line of Hoges, TMac, Weids, Fritsch, Spargo and Jeffy. Hannan and Melksham interchange, with those 2 and Trac rotating midfield/wing and forward. Oppostion coaches would have to seriously think about their selections to combat that, rather than the other way round. Apart from Garlett, they all have good years ahead of them still, hopefully he can find some form quickly.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
Special mention needs to go to young Fritsch for Spargs first goal as well. His spoil on the bigger, more experienced Hurley was a beauty. Charlie was waiting exactly where all good small forwards should be, front and centre.

Neville Jetta
I think Nifty deserves a bit of praise after today. He's copped a fair bit on here recently, and I'm sure even he'd agree his form hasn't been up to his usual standard. I reckon he had a right ball tearer today, winning some crucial contests. Might be a few on here due to give him a pat on the back. Well done Nev.

Post Match Discussion - Round 5
Fully agree. Unfortunately our guys can put in as much effort as they like, it just won't matter. Until we can come up with the required skill level we're going nowhere. Kicking, handballing, marking, picking up the freaking ball. We're way below par on all of these, and haven't even gotten to things like target selection, shepherding and general team acts. Our skill level has been horrible for as long as I can remember and I can't understand why. Do they use footballs at training? Why do they appear to be a foreign object during games? If we could hit targets we would've been so far in front by Q4 it wouldn't have mattered how tired we were, we would hold on. The issue is so much effort goes into each skill based turnover that we're getting no return and it becomes mentally draining as well as physically. A step forward? In effort only, and only from last week. This year has so far been a big step backwards from 2017. I recall Jared Rivers saying when he went to the Cats, that preseason training was so different. The responsibility was on players to come back in shape so they could work on skills. Can any preseason track watchers tell if we've caught up to that coaching strategy yet? If not, why not, and if so, why have we not improved? Do we have skills coaches, and are they actually 'skilled' coaches? We have a lot to work on.

Think about it for a second. If there were no clubs or pubs with pokies, where would the gamblers have to go for a fix?

Anyone have info on what his defensive pressure is like? If that's up to scratch he'd be a super pick up. If we have a high enough pick....

Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever
Delusional. They think it's completely irrelevant where Lever wants to go.
