Some goal-kicking practice wouldn’t go astray. Might be better than wrecking your feet with stress fractures by doing too much running. Perhaps Jack Watts could teach them to kick straight?

Wrong by Gerard Whately

Yippee!

And Oskar Baker two year contract. A whole bunch of B graders, except perhaps Baker.

The following players are VFL level or below VFL level: Jay Kennedy-Harris Both Wagners Baker Bedford Bradtke Chandler Jordon Keilty Kolodjashnij Nietschke Preuss Sparrow Spargo Stretch Walker Sparrow The MFC will not win a premiership until it recruits and develops elite players like those of Richmond, Geelong, Collingwood, West Coast. We have chosen poorly in the past year and developed some potential elite players poorly. Max Gawn was just about our only elite player this year based on performance. The catastrophic drop to the bottom of the ladder had a reason. We just don’t have the cattle.

What’s at stake? The reputation of our weak, pathetic club? It’s already at rock bottom. Yet another coach’s job? Goodwin being sacked will hardly be a surprise and based on this year he wouldn’t be a huge loss. There was potentially more at stake this year: we could have been playing finals again with this list that played finals last year, and all those forward 50 entries. The players in the forward line were not up to it. The midfielders feeding the ball to them weren’t either.

Delist: Both Wagners, ANB, Spargo, Lockhart, JKH, Bedford, Chandler, Baker, Bradtke, Kolodjashnij, Jordon, Keilty, Nietschke, Oscar Macdonald, Stretch, Vandenberg, Walker. All VFL level or lower level, except Vandenberg who is eternally injured. GET SOME ELITE PLAYERS into the team!!!!

Lockhart useless Bedford useless Spargo useless Chandler useless Delist all four. Get some real players in.

When did MFC become the underdog and an irrelevant club? Was it when Norm Smith was sacked and Ron Barassi went to Carlton? When did we lose the right to train on the MCG? When did we lose the home ground? Why did we lose the home ground? How did the MCG, HOME OF the GREAT DEMONS become home of scum like Richmond, Collingwood, etc etc. We were the kings of the 1950s-1964. What has happened to this great football club that invented the game? When can we get it all back? Respect. Winning. Self respect. Forget the rest. This year has been an absolute disgrace and the coaches and players should hang their heads in shame. Absolute shame shame shame. Get back to winning or get lost.

Compare Brisbane’s second half of last season. They were clearly going places with effort and commitment, developing their game big time despite no chance of a premiership last year. Our guys look like they think this year’s done and it’ll all just get better with a preseason and some returns from injury. They’re wrong.

I nearly died laughing! Great post.

He could make some more suggestions as to how MFC might improve rather than just sneering at how bad they are. He did it last year too even when the team was doing well. There was lots of speculation a couple of years ago that he would put his hand up to coach. He didn’t and that’s fine but he doesn’t have the same credentials as Paul Roos to comment on coaching.

Garry Lyon has the attitude that the Dees are a basket case and will never come good. That’s not helpful from a past captain and great player of the club.

I agree!

The other statistic is that we had a much more difficult draw this year.

No. I would get some new recruits in by hook or by crook. None of our players is up to a fast “outside mid” role.

Disagree strongly. He turns it over too often when played “up the ground”.

You want Hogan back? He has a stuffed foot!!

BS. He’s a forward. Look at today’s game vs any other game this year. And he missed some goals because he’s been played on the wing or back so long he’s out of practice!!!

Daisy must be close to retirement...

How about an imposing forward who can mark and kick goals!

No, Fritsch belongs in the forwards. When played as an outside midfielder he becomes the king of the turnovers.

Frost actually did some great stuff and tried his heart out.

It’s not about fitness. He just has no skills and is as slow as a slow loris.

Dean Kent is starring for the Saints tonight.
