The way we’ve gone this year I’d be more surprised if we weren’t chasing Grundy.

That was last year, which has zero relevance right now. Teams are making us look very basic in 2022. Our game plan has been dismantled, taken apart, and exploited.

Basic under 11 game plan. No dare. Too predictable.

Second best midfielder I have seen. Ablett jr the best. Should’ve won 5 brownlows

Pointless season really. We are the only team capable of beating Geelong but we are too basic. We will have to endure similar learnings to what Geelong has. We were fortunate to have a purple patch last year. Liken it that purple patch to Tom Boyd’s final series of 2016. Bullies were satisfied, their window is done now and them finished. We will follow a similar trend unless acknowledge our purple patch of 2021 was just a fluke. It’s all it was.

Has done a tremendous job. I didn’t know what to expect but has filled the roll well.

Waste of a potential dynasty

Crickets..

What do you do

Cripps was amazing tonight.

Lions were pretty poor against the Saints. We could quite easily pinch that game up there, especially now we’re coming off a win. Our side is still traumatized from our past losing culture. When we come off wins we play better. We are a confidence team. Next week we’ll be up and about. Brisbane might be complacent. Pressure is on them.

I did that with 14 minutes to go and turned it back on with 30 seconds to go.

Much needed goal. If we get the first after the break it could open up for us.

One dimensional. Teams worked us out long ago now. Too late to implement a different game plan or get in good coaching now. Wasted year.

Grundy Is finished. Injury is apparently worse than broadcast. I know a guy, same guy who said Dawes was finished after Collingwood -due to a finger. He said Grundy is done. How reliable is he? I don’t know but he said Dawes was done after Collingwood due to a finger and Dawes proceeded to play like he had wooden hands at our club.

You sign up no problems. The AFL still have that duty of care to the players. The AFL make the rules. Up until quite recently they’ve made rules which incentivize head high contact. Clearly they don’t care. Both my young lads played state under 16s footy and I pulled them out and give them the option to play other sports. Any parent who cares for the long term well being of their child would be silly to push them into football. I did and hoped it would change. Silly silly.

I backed the saints and I went in confident.

It’s how Cripps always attacks the footy which is flawed. He attacks it with little care for his opponent. I guess that’s fine. But I’d have thought in an era where the AFL have to be at least seen to be trying - to protect the head - that Cripps would’ve copped the two weeks. This incident won’t make me pity the AFL when the lawsuits come piling in down the track. As soon as players can get CTE accurately diagnosed In living players it’s a wrap, and this case is the perfect precedent for any player. I love MFC, but I’d like to see the AFL completely fold due to not having a safety of care for the players. League can start again under another form, but this organization is corrupt at its core.

We don’t really have much luck. Cripps should be out. Elliot shouldn’t have been given frees in front of goals against Collingwood. Eugle Hagen plays his only decent game of his AFL career and luck would have it - it’s against us. I’ve about had it.

Cannot wait till the court cases come piling in.

Cripps gets off

Use the Jackson picks to fill up on some talent. Leave Grundy alone. We already have a great ruckman we cannot utilize properly.

We just need to focus on next week now. I don’t think we are up to the sides you mentioned. But I do believe we are up to winning our next two games. If we can do that, we would be well positioned to play our own game, which we know is conducive to finals pressure.

If McRae coaches us last night we walk away with a handy 10 goal win. Coaching is obviously a very important factor, as we see with the Pies.

Can’t win it this year. We aren’t well coached, and are too predictable. Teams have worked us out, and our conversion rate inside 50 continues to be poor. We never worked out our synergy between mid and forward, and it’s pretty much sunk our season. Apart from a purple patch last year, which we were fortunate to all witness. It’s much the same from Melbourne. Long way off the well coached sides IMO.
