Please Vanders no undisciplined frees and no unnecessary 50’s - and watch where your kicking

Would have been a good opportunity to give Bowey or Bedford a game.

They have just been informed that will have to isolate with Kochie

Kennett must want to be our President again now that he’s got the chop from the Hawks

Was at Melbourne High when Ross Dillon and Alan Davis were there. They both played when they were still at school. Billy Picken also was a student there - and I use the term loosely!

I also needed to check that my teeth were still there

Who’d have thought I would be barracking for the Filth. I need a shower - I feel unclean

How did Turner go?

Big Carl may object- he was their coach I think.

How is Bowey’s pace?

Perhaps they should broadcast in braille

Who's going to want a 200cm third tall with no presence, can't kick and floats around the field like a fern frond with no impact. Edit: and yes I realise this also describes Ben brown, but he kicked 10 in an afl match. And to think we were out coached by Goodwin. That game exposed all of our weaknesses at once. Biggest of which is our gameplan which relies on the other team not being very good. Too many passengers and credit too melbourne who played the game I wanted us to play. actually looked like our mids and forwards were rubbish. deep defense kept the gap closer. the rest were sh*t. boak sh*t. drew sh*t. everyone forward of full back was dog sh*t. At least Ben Brown didn’t kick 10 goals. That’s a positive I guess. yeah, so you agree, rozzee is sh*t, has the contested ball awareness of a minature poodle. Players: What's the gameplan this week Ken? Ken: Oh, we'll chip it around giving Melbourne time to get everyone behind the ball. Players: So same as usual against the top teams then? We put the ken in Farken Average. I'm sick of crap teams going past us - if the trend continues, bloody Carlton will play in a grand final before we will LOL. Melb brought in the tallest slowest forward line I’ve seen in the past 20 years of football. It was set up for us to run off of them. Almost all of their good players had a night out too. Gawn, Patracca, Oliver, May, Salem, McDonald, you know the guys a good coach would have plans for. Hinkley is a bum. They cope well with losing, don’t they!

A great win against a top 4 side in a hostile environment. We won each quarter and had good players across every line. A very even contribution. Can’t ask for much more. How good was Trac - he ripped the game apart.

A really solid game by the young man. Really pleased for him

I’m a big fan of how JJ goes quietly about his business. Racked up 19+ possessions last night and rarely makes a mistake. He’s hard at it and enjoys a tackle. Plays with a maturity beyond his years. A gem has been unearthed.

He made a huge difference to our structure and competed well. His reach will have defences worried and will demand the attention of one of the main tall defenders. Was robbed of 2 marks by the maggots.

Trac TMac Oliver Salem Gawn Kozzie Apilogies to May, Pig, Petty and JJ.- very impressed with Petty tonight

Disgusting by the maggots- any excuse to pay Port a free

Alastair Clarkson, come on down.

Can't believe the fuss about this. He was probably frustrated as he should have been and showed a bit of emotion. So what.

Stop making sense. Just stop it!

Looks like we are pretenders. We lack killer instinct exemplified by losing to the Filth - especially when you see what the Saints are doing to them. Good sides don’t drop games like that. Same can be said for the loss last night where we were asleep for the first half and then played in a state of panic and made stupid mistakes e.g Hunt. The loss to Adelaide was also inexcusable. Each loss was attitudinal. The other concern is we are losing games like this with a healthy list. Our so called depth is very suspect. And we are yet to play 4 quarters. A far bit to worry about.

Bowey must be very close to a debut. Very consistent at Casey and looks to have football brain and decent skills. I’m not sure who he replaces but the mix needs a change.

He’s not doing much, anywhere.

Selectors need to turn up on Thursday night sober. FMD. We are yet to play a full 4 quarters which is concerning.
