Ghostwriter mentioned on the training report that Lindsayis ok.😁👍

It’s funny layzie but my youngest daughter texted me at the start of the game that the Lions jumpers looked like “bum cracks” we all had a good laugh via text.

That win was quite exhilarating will we won’t we, can we can’t we, they seemed to be able to score at will whereas we had to work much harder for any gains. Then I noticed a subtle change come over the game and we started punishing their turn overs as we spread and hit targets up at will. I thought that’s more like it but where has it come from, all of a sudden we were the hunters and they were making unforced errors we were still missing our shots but getting more of them. Jake Melksham put in a pearler and Max and the rest of the team lifted and continued to lift right up til the siren sounded. I recognised when the change occurred but didn’t understand the root causes. Thanks Binman and the other posters that have a greater understanding of strategy and game plan for pointing out what changes the coaches and players initiated and how well it worked, it changed the momentum of the game and we are the benefactors.

Thanks DD although they’re best rated higher than ours we batted deep, even Sharp & Fritta combined for a 2.9. Some really good signs and I loved the way that we hunted them and used their turn overs to spread and run in the second half. Great game to watch and how good was Goody and Chocko on the bench, directing, guiding and pushing the boys all game through.

6 - The Captain 5 - Milkshake - what a great kick Jake is 4 - Jake Bowey sublime 3 - Trent Rivers - Riv is now where we expected him to be 2 - Clarry - Welcome back champ 1 - Tracca - Back to his best Kozzie, Disco, Lingers, TMac, XL all stiff, a great team effort, our best game in a long time.

Spot on joeboy.👏👏👏

The boys showed that they aren’t finished, what a great game coming from 23 points down at the 17 minute mark of the 2nd qtr at the Gabba if you don’t mind.

Beautiful pick up and handball by Fritta Bang Clarry.

I am watching with the sound off. lol.!!!

Their kicking and their luck is exceptional.

Need to start well and finish well, I hope that our team find their old synergy and play their hearts out, hope it’s a nice day up in Brissie for football. go Dees.❤️💙

My heart goes out to the Selwood family, RIP Adam.

Jeez CF we kicked 1.12 and you want to sack the coaches, if I was a player and I dished that rubbish up I would be expecting to be playing at Casey for the foreseeable future. They should have been a mile in front instead they squandered every opportunity.

Those Ins would have been handy last week V Doggies.

RIP Robert Walls a great player, coach, commentator, scribe and human being.😢💕

They certainly haven’t covered themselves in glory that is for sure, bland, bland and superficial, glad that someone is holding them to account.

Big thanks to Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters and special comments would have loved a bit more detail given it was a full training run but love all the details that come our way. PS ( Ghostwriter was Kev there today)😁👍

Agree LITD when our list was a lot stronger young players had to knock the door off its hinges down at Casey, IE Sparrow and JJ. Gifting them games when they haven’t earned it sends the wrong message and is a disservice to the player that is trying to find form at VFL level. I really want to see some discipline from our selection committee only reward effort, hunger and a desire to win. There are kids that are having a red hot crack every week they are the ones that need to be rewarded. I really admired Robert Walls (RIP) but I believe that was one of his mantra’s, if you don’t have a dig you don’t get a go. Not sure about bringing out the gloves on training nights would get the nod today but who knows.

I really hope that the clubs are putting it to the AFL hierarchy, need to get the media focussed on this farcical situation regarding the second highest tier of Aussie Rules that appears to be handicapping most league sides. Probably won’t get any traction with the so called media, can’t bite the hand that feeds you.

Kane Cornes is one of the reasons that I no longer watch any of the Media shows - Goodwin plays favourite with Petracca and Oliver, he is really dredging up some rubbish when there are real stories out there. His hatred of Goody is becoming a bit embarrassing. Grow up Kane.

I often wonder what some players think, I look at a young Riv, Sparrow, McVee, Windsor, Lindsay, Tholstrup, Bowey and Langford. They all looked like they belong, they move confidently among the playing group and ooze an air of confidence whereas when I look at Laurie, Jeffo and Fullarton they obviously have talent and skill set to get on a list but seem to lack that same air of confidence and surety. Is it self worth, confidence or inner knowledge???

Re: Memberships. MFC were beaten up by the press at all levels so badly from the end of ‘23 throughout ‘24. The lack of support from the AFL and media fools regarding the Gus Brayshaw thuggery shook us to the core and this was followed by continual attack right through 2024. That wasn’t helped by Tracc’s injury and a lot of other negative activity around the club. No wonder members fled in their droves, it was hard enough for us rusted on members to continue on despite the constant criticism from inside and out. If we make 55,000 I will be pleasantly surprised.😢🥲

Personally and this is only my thoughts, I feel that the new game plan is starting to take shape, it is a faster more daring and taxing game style that we managed against the Hawks for three quarters where we should have been 4-5 goals up at 3/4 time, it was our own poor conversion and some very poor umpiring decisions that stopped us from being in a winning position, that is despite having six of the poorest eight Performers on the ground. We now have a core of players that have the skills to help develop and actually move forward with this game style however we need to be more ruthless at selection and only play those that are totally committed and prepared to bleed for the club. The coaches can only teach they can’t kick the goals but they can insist on minimum standards and enforce them.

Thanks Andy, George and Binman another great listen, I have been holding off listening because I was still disappointed about how we finished the game. However I thoroughly enjoyed the wrap up of the game, Binman passion in particular and I agree with his comments that we should persist with the new game plan even if it costs us games, it is a better brand of footy the more we practise it the better and fitter the group will become. Our kicking for goal was woeful the umpires pathetic and we had too many passengers in the side. Time for a change up keep turning over our bottom six until we find the right mix of players that want to contribute and bleed for the club. Thanks again, really enjoyed the podcast and also the questions raised by all posters.👍😁

Harvey Langford is playing even better than we all expected and hoped for.👍😁
