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.

We are poorly coached. Just fortunate we had a purple patch last year. Collingwood shown us tonight what happens when you convert your chances and maximize forward 50 entries. In addition, it looked as though our mids weren’t running both ways. Teams can easily run over the top of us.

I think they are peaking too early.

Collingwood were just far superior. They converted their opportunities, and were making the most of their inside 50’s. We don’t do that. We haven’t got a long time - years. It’s frustrating to watch us. I usually go have a shower in the last quarter expecting to check the scores and see we’ve dropped another one.

Collingwood are obviously very well coached. 11 on the trot now. Simply outplayed us. They were very efficient at goal. Credit to them.

Have to be efficient going inside 50. We haven’t been for years. We were fortunate to have a purple patch last year at the right time.

Harmes too good for Casey.

Skill wise I haven’t seen a demon come close to Kozzie. Maybe Farmer. But that in itself is something because watching the Wizard I never ever thought I’d see a more skillful, crafty and talented demon in my time. Kozzie is that. Even at this young age he is the most talented kid I’ve seen, and most naturally talented Demon I’ve seen. Cyril like. Very crafty.
