Oliver: The Forgotten Superstar?
Completely shut down Cripps on the weekend. But you won't hear that in the media because Cripps is a "Good bloke"...

TRAINING: Round 03
No Nathan Jones?

Jake Lever.. Can someone explain??
Fair chance he'll get dropped this weekend.

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs Essendon
In fairness to Smith Rod, he has just played his 12th game of AFL. So in a roundabout way you're right we've barely seen him in action. But he deserves time right? Like all players? To be honest I thought he actually impacted the game far more then Jake Lever. His closing speed on McKay to impact the contest and then win the footy was really exciting to see. I understand we are all impatient, but there is something to work with in Smith. He needs continuity and more game experience.

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs Essendon
Can we not derail quality threads like this with politics please? Bringing this back on Topic, the more I think about the more I think there will be two changes. Weideman has to be a given, these reports suggest he did everything he is asked. I would like to keep Jackson in, but if he has to make way for Weideman then I'm still happy enough. If McDonald has another poor game then Mitch Brown will be breathing down his neck. Kossie is an automatic selection for me. Who does he come in for though?? Still want to see Vanders squeezed some how.

He played that role really well against Adelaide and North in the praccy match.

Brown is a lot more agile then Tmac. Problem is hes coming up against two big defenders in Hurley and Hooker who will just out muscle him. Brown is better off being the 3rd tall forward behind Weid and McDonald.

The Need for Outside Midfielders
Interestingly i was just looking at the stats from the weekend and we actually won the clearances by 1, and contested footy 111 Carlton to Melbourne's 114. I was shocked when i saw that as i felt they really had the upper measure in both aspects.

CHANGES: Rd 03 vs Essendon
You've made some good points here. I am also in the camp of just getting Weideman in and play him for the rest of the year. We have [censored] around with his development and he needs continuity in his game. I am also in the thought of having all 3 of Jackson, Weid, and Mcdonald as our 3 key forward. Jackson to part time ruck which leaves Weideman and McDonald to just focus on being key forwards full time. I also hate this whole playing Bayley Fritsch from deep full forward. Justin Plapp our forwards coach has a lot to answer to this. He's best utilised as a half forward which his clean kicking skills on display.

Welcome to Demonland: Trent Rivers
Interestingly Hayden Young debuted on the weekend who plays a similar role to what Rivers does. Young had 11 disposals 46% disposal efficiency 3 tackles and 92 metres gain. Rivers had 12 Disposals, 87% disposals efficiency, 2 tackles and 286 metres gain. They'll both have good careers, but Rivers impact on the game over the weekend cannot be underestimated.

The Need for Outside Midfielders
How do you imply we got smashed on the outside when we actually won the uncontested possession count 187 to Carltons 162.......

Angus Brayshaw
Loved Sparrows game from the marsh game against Adelaide. Unfortunately he's pretty much the same player as Viney. Doubt he'll get much of a look unless injuries.
-
Jake Lever.. Can someone explain??
It was McKay, i do remember that bit of play. His closing speed was actually quite remarkable. I think it was in the pocket? I'm honestly bullish on him. Besides 2 brain fades he actually defended quite well. I feel like he is the type of player that just gets better with each game of experience. Lets take into account it was his first game since March 2019. Hes come straight in on tje back of no VFL form. He'll get better.

Wing and half back

Angus Brayshaw
He is a yarrawonga boy like myself so I've seen his football growing up as he is good friends with my younger brother. Watched a live game of him last year. Hes a good kid with maturity beyond his years. But seriously mate, he might get a game or two but to suggest he'll overtake Brayshaw is simply laughable. He is a good honest plodder, who struggles first half of the year at VFL last year. I'll revisit this thread when he's starting mid by the end od the year.

Angus Brayshaw
Agree, hes an honest plodder. With the list reductions this year, i expect Jordon to be cut.
-
Angus Brayshaw
No he wont.

Angus Brayshaw
What a stupid thing to say He just finished 3rd in the brownlow and look destined to become a star of the competition. We had just traded Hogan and trading Brayshaw at the time would have been a real uproar with supporters. Everyone is a hindsight hero at times.

Angus Brayshaw
He was barely in the center circle throughout game and at times was on the wing.

NON MFC: Round 02
I too have done some reflection mate and even watched the first quarter on replay. It was right up there with some of the best performance I've seen since the 2018 finals against Geelong. And you're right mate, our first quarter was as good as any this round. We really do need the likes of Melksham, Lever, McDonald and even Bennell to hit form to play consistent 4 quarter footy. They're quick on the outside. On the inside they're useless. Really hope Viney, Oliver, Gawn and Petracca tske advantage of this.
