Agree. Mental toughness and onfield leadership have been massive issues for us over the years. We play better with Vanders in the team

That does make it difficult. However not talking about it at all is not working. #1 killer in young males. If it can be discussed without the details of how it was done perhaps that would not prompt an increase. My mate from work committed suicide around a year ago and its just hard to take. 32yo, bright, seemingly happy guy, long term partner, good career. his partner or family had no idea why he did it and no known history of mental illness. one chat could have saved him

So sad, The a Project is the only program I have seen where the issue was broached. Something like a 25% increase in suicides since covid started. Which means the increase is more people dying than from covid itself it should be talked about more

I agree T Mac in for Melksham play LJ as HF hitting wings lots of marking targets

Gawn will poll votes but not many others will takes 2 or 3s. Trac is eye catching. He kicks goals and dominates the middle. Best player in the league at the moment

Did I hear correctly that Doedee is captain this week for the crows? He has played 21 games. they are in MFC 2013 type trouble. the crouch brothers, walker etc all playing

Project manager yeah?

3-3 and we’ve played 3 of the top 5 from last year. The season is alive! thank Christ coz we all need it at the moment Gawn and Trac are the two best players I’ve seen play in a MFC jumper for at least 15 years. Trac turned 24 years old this year! The next 150 games will be awesome

So good to have 3 decent tall fwds as we will need to rotate at times with so many 5 day breaks

The best part is Kozzi has no idea what he is going to do next so how can the opposition predict it?!?

How good is it to have a real wing man that has a tank and is quick? And knows how to find space. I keep hearing about his poor kicking skills but I think he is alright. He was really important in the first half

Jackson is almost 200cm and is 18yo. You wouldn’t know it! He is such a smooth mover and has very good awareness and decision making. will be a beauty

Gawn Trac Viney Oliver Weed Fritsch

I’m not one to get carried away but Weed and Jackson will be better than Roughy and Buddy

Relax guys we’ll win this by 1 point

Can always rely on you for a negative comment even when we are playing so well

Great selections by Goodwin. Jackson’s mobility and marking has been great. Kozzi is very comfortable at this level

Weed! Brilliant! jacko marking everything!

Fritsch is playing a ripper. What a kick to Trac

I thought Clarkson is a genius? He might want to put someone within 50 metres of Langdon

Just the 3 contested marks in one quarter from Gawn

Burgoyne doing a lot of things he ‘never does’ cant they just say he is playing a bad game?

Took 7 years for Carlton to get in the 8 aaaaand they’re out again ??

Hawks are a proud club and will come out firing. If we play well we can win but it will be tight

Agree, remarkable he was the standout. I remember him putting his body on the line in his first season. he could never kick though. Always had poor skills. He was just way fitter than anyone in the TAC cup
