3 marks to port in the forward line for goals and lever, may and omac nowhere to be seen.?????

This would have to be the most frustrating team to follow. Brain fade after brain fade - its the only thing that we do consistently.

Special mention to the NSW Dees supporters, do not know the attendance at the game but sounded like a Pro Dees crowd. Great to hear the barracking from the side lines in these strange times.

Am lukewarm on the selection Jackson at this stage. I agree that he has a lot of promise and will be a part of our long term future. But this is a must win game for us and an experienced forward in Brown seems to be the smart choice up forward in my humble option. I would have thought that this was the ideal time to pick him when we are lacking in tall forwards and the basis of the reason to recruit him and if he is continually overlooked - then why did we recruit him? Gee I hate the Hawks and hope that Jackson has an impact.

Its a beautiful thing. Good to see Weids in the side contesting and kicking goals. Just love AVB's attack on the ball.

No need to go to Sydney. Dubbo would be a better option. We can train at the lion park - that should bring some intensity. Oh we would save some money - no need for a return trip.

Clearly shows that this team is not playing for each other.

Yes I enjoyed that point.

Can somebody explain to me why Kosi was penalised for an unrealistic attempt at marking when the only person that he touched was TMac.?????

As I press the pedal to the floor I look out the window and see Richmond pass me by. I think, "Gee I thought we had a better car than them, I wonder who's driving". As I round the next bend and press the pedal to the floor I look out the window and see Brisbane pass me by. I think, "Gee I thought we had a better car than them, I wonder who's driving". A bit further down the track I try and press the pedal through the floor I look out the window and see Gold Coast pass me by. I think, "Gee I thought we had a better car than them, I wonder who's driving". I look in the rear view mirror and see Carlton behind me and think, "Surely I've got a better car and I'm a better driver". God help me.

Two bog ordinary football teams tonite. MFC team delivering more poor footy for MFC supporters yet again. This is tiresome. Groaaaaannnn. Amongst other things we have to find a big bodied forward or 2, this current set up is not going to take us anywhere.

Well the players are entertainers...

Should finish 4 - 1 on top with a huge % at the end of round 5. I'd be happy with that.

How about Matthew Collins, he played about 20 odd games, but injury limited his time with us. Came to us from Adelaide with Brent Wiliams for Nathan Bassett ( a couple more for the obscure list, though neither played a game for us)

Obviously a jumper clash confusing our players - we keep kicking and hand-balling to the opposition

Just disappointing - but we are still in the game - so hoping for a better second half.

Mixing with at 50K + disappointed West Coast supporters after the game would be a beautiful thing.

Think we missed our opportunity to relocate to Moggs Creek and Dangerfield could have walked to training. Jet ski's to the G, could have had a Demon ferry and done a bit of fishing on the way. There is only one thing for certain with this thread and that is we will still be debating it in 30 + years.

If Tom Browne is saying two weeks I reckon it will probably be longer - no confidence with this bloke. Miracles can happen so hopefully he is right. Come on Gawny tells us it is OK.
