Agree BDA 29k for two top 4 sides at the G was a tad disappointing on a perfect Saturday afternoon for football. I must admit that due to the tightness of the game we didn’t fire up until the last quarter so the boys didn’t get a heap of support, there was more yelling at the poor quality of the umpiring fraternity. Still very happy for the clubs coffers.!!!

Maxy is coming off a ML injury and not back to his best yet still racked up 35 HO’s. We need to utilise Tomlinson or Diso until Petty comes back in and use either BBB or Schache for TMac.

Thanks DD so many players fell right away today and the stats bare that out. Are we loading.? We really missed Mr Oliver that is for sure, he is the equal of two players.!!

So did Lever. Well my day didn’t go so well, the drive in was pleasant and the pie was hot But Jacko turned up to play possibly his best game on the G Freo made the most of their opportunities and racked up a lot of uncontested possessions in our forward line which we seemed ok with as they did it whenever we looked a bit lively. Although one of our best Max is right off his game at present. Lever is being exposed down back by us not playing the third tall. We continued to bomb the ball into the forward 50 with total oblivion and managed a miserable 10.12 and three out on the full. Where has our accuracy gone?? The Dockers had a game plan that they stuck to by playing wide and maintaining possession at times we seemed quite clueless. It was a quiet drive home football wise.😪😢

6 - Tracc best by far 5 - Sparrow 4 - Grundy 3 - Gus 2 - Max dominated hit outs we just weren’t smart enough to capitalise 1 - Salem showed some good touch and is on his way back Big drop off for Riv, Spargs, Fritta, TMac, we are crucifying Levers Game playing short in the backline and cruelling the forward line also having no marking forward.

Really looking forward to this game today nice drive in great seats, feeling pretty good hoping for a min 27 point win, a poor game from Jacko and a hot pie. What could go wrong.!!!!

Thanks WJ I am really looking forward to this years draft and hope that we top up the list, definitely need two quality mids, a tall defender or possibly a young tall, plus Kynan Brown. Prefer that we don’t trade out our crop of picks for 1 - 2 players.!!

No.

I was hoping that JJ would have had regular game time in 2023 and given similar opportunities as Riv and Sparrow. Hopefully he gets a better run now with Clayton sidelined if not he mustn’t be in our future plans.!!

Agree deanox but remember JJ had a significant foot injury late last year.!!

Great result for MFC, we always look forward to the Big Freeze when it is ours.!!!

63,869 edging up to 64k.!!

No but he stayed down long enough to make it look worse than it was trying to draw a free.!!!

We shouldn’t write off James Jordon or James Harmes or Dunstan from our midfield mix all bigger harder bodies that can rotate with Tracc, Vines, Sparrow, Rivers, Kozzie and Chandler. That would leave Gus half back where he is needed most I am hoping that the coaches mix it up a bit and put a bit of a fire in their belly over the next four weeks. It’s time that the second echelon showed us what they are capable off and give Clarry the necessary time to get his hammy cherry ripe. Opportunity waits for no man.!!!

I lost respect for Hardwick after the 2000 GF but you have to give him kudos for three Flags at Richmond, I won’t miss his press conferences or him.!!

Thanks Kev and all posters that is great that Clayton was able to get on the track at least and great that we have posters that have the experience to put forward great anecdotal observations re timeframes and injury types. Greatly appreciated.!!

I think Jack handed a bit back and Max wasn’t the only one copping it, it’s Hinkley’s DNA.!!!

RGRS is this a jest.!!!

I like your thinking wwsw definitely Sparrow and Jordon and either Disco/ Howes/ Laurie and one of those three as sub. We will require a massive team effort this week to beat Dockers

Jeez Lrfe you have basically written off our depth, that is a bit pessimistic for me to absorb on a miserable Sunday morning.!!

Looking at those stats DD they choked the life out of us, that must have been our poorest overall performance this year.!!

Jeez DD that was horrific.!!

They hit us hard and often they stuck to their game plan and outworked us in the first half. We struck back in the 3rd and most of the last but in the end their weight of inside 50’s ended up swamping us in the end. They had 6 of the best 9 players out there and their marking and disposal in [censored] conditions showed us up a bit. I felt that we had to many players that were basically outplayed and out pressured on the night. Centre clearances killed us and I felt like the 4 point loss flattered us but maybe it shows that our System held up despite the opposition swamping us.

6 - May (4qutr game) 5 - Rivers 4 - Tracc ( great 2nd half) 3 - Clayton ( better once he got angry) 2 - Fritta ( if he snuck that in we could have stolen that game) 1 - Hunter kept going all night That was a terrible game tonight we fumbled, bumbled, mis tackled and failed to man up and still only went down by four points, should have been 4 goals.

Thanks DubDee that is the most passionate I have ever seen Lewis off field, spoke from the heart.!!
