What a truly pathetic post !!

Look. FFS no-one is interested in your meandering drivel , you sound like Cliff from Clematis who’s heard a rumour . For heavens’ sake stop, think about something more interesting like growing parsley . Give us a daily update. Would be more interesting than anything you’ve contributed in months.

Are u seriously suggesting they will make three changes after that win? Give us a break!

If fit, one of the first picked.

Ok. We picked up Kozie ( likely 200 games) Jackson , ditto, Rivers, possibly ditto plus Bennell, Langdon, Tomlinson seems ok to me. I think we are a live chance this year, and a terrific chance next year

Do you still think so Greendale, after today? jackson could win a Brownlow . Never seen an 18yo very tall, so promising

I don’t think this is as demented as others do. first, it was written last week. We’ve since scored a win. Secondly, we’ve played WC in Perth, Cats and Tigers at the G. Lost to Cats by 2 points. An extremely hard group of matches; we haven’t lost a match we were expected to win,. Our position on ladder looks bad but it is deceiving because we have a game in hand. something which was not mentioned but which is important is that this is , largely, a new side.. These blokes have not played many matches together . It doesn’t matter if May has played 150games. How many has he played with Oscar, Nev, Christian, Lever, Lockhart ?If u look at the v successful Richmond and WC teams in the past 5/6 years they’ve had great player continuity. I am certain the second half if the season will be stronger than the first half. it is now becoming plain that there are some poor teams and sooner or later we must play them. We could easily win a bunch of games in a row, and remember what happened in 2018. I think our list this year is stronger. I backed us for the flag pre season and at 80/1 the odds are ridiculous. Time to double up! Of course we may lose to the Hawks and Brisbane and you can all laugh at us

Jetta cooked? First game back, ran into something special. Surely he deserves another match .

I think his lick with two minutes to go, may turn him into an outstanding player. His inability to’ kick straightforward goals has been a real downer. That was a class act under pressure

U are of course facetious. But I noticed that with 10 to go and scores level he moved May to CHF. In other words trying to win the game rather than hold in defensively. It shows he hasn’t lost both courage and enterprise. Woukd have been slaughtered if it had lead to a loss

Played quite well v Geelong but lacked determination v Tigers

Hell.i thought Hannan was good, first match back. Hunt was awful.

I thought he was pretty good in the pre season matches which were reasonably competitive

He was anything but average in the effect he had upon MFC. i know he had problems But I woukd never have let him go

At the time we were playing well in Q2 TMAC was battling like hell, creating contests, nearly clunking a couple. Then he nearly gets broken ribs in Q3 but still takes a great grab and kicks a goal in the last.Get off his back! The problem is the gameplan when we beat the Cats easily in the finals in 2018 Weideman took a few marks.Even if he only creates a contest he must be played

They did only kick 7 goals five. but I agree, our gameplay was [censored]. We must have another tall forward

Hannan was v good for his first match for ages. Better than many others

Yes it definitely leaked like a sieve? Geelong who played in last year’s prelim, had 12 scoring shots. Some leak!

Without doubt something happened last weekend which caused doubt about Bennell. FWIW I woukd play Jackson again. He wasn’t too bad v Blues, shows all the promise. Play him alongside the FF, this requiring a Cats tall to play on him, we need his height.

Just watched On Utube our match v GWS the last round before the finals in 2018. Although I was at that match, I hadn’t realised just how clever was Spargo, both by hand and foot setting up a number of goals . Lost his way last year, but having watched this I believe we should persevere with hiM

I think Brown is big enough, but is he good enough.? He did play well in the practice match. Had he kicked decently v WC it would have been much closer

This week’s team made sense because it was forecast to be quite wet. We were lucky the match wasn’t played! i think we do need a key forward and on the basis of the Practice match perhaps it has to be Brown

Bugger me!!! Someone wants to play Hore this week and You want to play Petty. both are injured for long periods

Sorry, but that’s rubbish. Lever doesn’t hold our defence together. He never held any defence together. He can play very well if we play 7 defenders and he is the loose man. That was his role in a very good Adelaide side, which played 7 defenders including Talia and Brown who played on the key forwards . When it was rumoured that we were hoping to get him, Mick Malthouse, at that time a great supporter of MFC, commented that he had never seen Lever best an opponent man on man. On this occasion Malthouse is correct. If we want to see Lever at his best, let him play as a loose man, on no-one . May and OMac on the key forwards. If we can afford to do that Id be very pleased

I agree re Hore but he’s injured, out for a long time
