I’m with you… but Salem? He was ok tonight. He’s had solid games this year.

I watched the game. I see a better group of players who are confused with a failing system. Often flat footed and unsure. Champions like Trac having little influence. I think we missed the chance to fire Goodwin, he’s staying. But my God he needs to get more out of the potential of this list. Make no mistake, he’s failing. What are you seeing?

TMac in for May

Not sure about that honestly!

Kossie, Kozzy, Kozi !

I’m not telling Trac off. That would be ludicrous. It was an observation that he’s still not fully confident. I could’ve put in the positive rather than the negative, fair enough. There’s just a huge challenge when two of the best ever MFC players are at peak age and not at peak output. As good as Windsor, X, Langford etc might be… I’m not sure they’re Clarry and Trac level prodigious.

Completely agree. Clarry was most damaging when he’d take a few burst steps before disposal. I feel like he’s not far away but that last few percent are the hardest to find. I see Trac as still being too timid.

If Spargo stays then I suspect he'll be sub, it's the punishment role with an opportunity to prove yourself before dropped. Agree about Brown, he'll get a chance but not this week. Maybe next week in Alice could suit.

I'm somewhat cheating with my confidence, as Lever is fronting the media to discuss the game and his likely return. The MFC wouldn't allow that, unless it's some strange bluff, but we've never done that previously. I personally also rate him as a player and leader highly enough to come straight back in. Sharp, I'm so disappointed by him. He's still young so maybe there's improvement to come.

Isn't there a conspiracy that their 50m rulers are a little questionable?

No way Lever isn't in. Expecting Viney in too. Two changes is maximum you'd think. Sharp is certainly out. No idea who the other will be... probably AJ

Yes, concussed for sure. Will miss

Oliver ! To be fair, the team isn’t performing so individually it’s more challenging. But Chandler is having career best. Kossie is a star, having him in the midfield is electric. Bowey!! He’s been magnificent. Turner is breaking out. Sparrow is performing well. Then Gawn is a master. TMac is massively underrated, great year. Salem has been solid. Who’s gone backwards?

I’m sure it’s been mentioned - but what a great moment when Oliver received the ball on the burst in the first. The crowd was awesome and the kick to Sparrow was perfect.

Haven’t seen enough to say. Wasn’t super excited when we drafted him, don’t really know what he’s meant to become? Just looking it up, 2022 wasn’t exactly a super draft.
