Bit quiter this week. Still building his fitness but presented well at times.

Utter disgrace Jefferson was dropped.

Kolt gave a handball out in our forward half late that quarter. It wasn't Sharp.

The stats person has stopped taking stats for Tholstrup. Had 9 disposal in the first quarter. 2nd quarter i counted five that he gathered but was listed as having 11 disposals in the first half. Watched him with two handballs that quarter and is still listed on 11..

Good take on Tholstrup. Paddy Dow was able to get away fairly easily from him purely because he was stagnant and flat footed. As you say, needs to keep on the move around stoppages. Other then that he had a solid quarter.

What's a good news from the past week that you want journos to report on? Wins will give you good news stories. Losses such as the Carlton, Norf, St Kilda give you what you dont want to read.

What exactly is wrong with what he is saying? This whole we're the victim type mentality from supporters regarding the media is insufferable. Club has brought this mess upon itself. When you dish up what we have over the best part of 2 years, then the heat comes down on the club.

Brett Montgomery from the Giants.

I wouldnt personally go after Simpson either.

The rate we're going, we're heading down the same pathway under Goodwin.

What's damning is that the reality is we're not rebuilding. Round 1 we had 4 first year players debut for the club. I didn't count Harry Sharp or Matthew Jefferson at all because they have been in the system for a number of year. So 5 in total considering Jeffo hadn't played an AFL game yet. Two of those players that played their first games were teenagers in Lindsay and Langford, the rest were mature age players. Since round 1 we've had a combined total of 0 players debut since and we are currently at round 20 Both St Kilda and Carlton have had more players debut this year then Melbourne have. Obviously haven't counted the likes of North, Richmond and Essendon who also have more we have. We have zero depth coming through and yet even what we have at Casey dont seem to be enough to warrant games. Our development of players has completely turn to 💩 due to the management of some of our younger players in JVR, Tholstrup, Jefferson and Windsor. Refusal to reward hard work and form at Casey for the likes or Laurie, Culley and Adams. Watched Calsher Dear last night and even Logan Morris this year and both are only in their 2nd year of AFL level and yet their impact they're making at senior level is remarkable because their respected coaches just continue to back them in and play them week in, week out. I see poor Jefferson has been dropped tonight and yet every single Melbourne supporter know that will completely rock his confidence. Perfect opportunity this time of the year being a dead rubber and nothing to play for just to continuing to get games into him while we can.

But.. the young players loveee Goody?

Green can join him.

Someone will miss two weeks in a row because Casey have a bye next week..

I feel physically ill at the thought of this for another 12 months.

Haha So [censored] predictable. This was as scripted as soon as the teams were released last night.

Thing is, we dont need another Viney type player..

I think you just answered your own question.

Yes because the first thing that everyone thinks of when reading that ridiculous comment is 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Do you think folks on here reading that would referenceimmediatelyto BTVS? No.. grow up Katrina.

Amen.

Its actually depressing how we can slog a loss against Carlton and yet Hawthorn can just come out and put them to the sword in the first two quarters. You cant tell me the players have lost all motivation under Goodwin. Its so evident.

Pretty sure they did in fact make changes last year meaning players can spend up to 4 years on a rookie list.

Think i read somewhere it was the Carlton player in Jordan Boyd who he ragdolled in that last quarter. Certainly doesn't take a backwards step regardless who it is.

I would be honestly surprised if anyone begs to differ. You can see it out there as evidence. The speed and transition of the game has gone straight past him and it makes sense when Goody said on his SEN interview last week that we will be looking to replenish our midfield stocks to suit a more transition style game plan. The game has gone past the likes of Viney and Oliver. If Oliver remains with the club, I really do believe he needs ro strip some more weight off just cover the ground more going both ways.
