Was good in the first qtr, coughed up a couple of goals when getting caught holding the ball. Is a great young talent and best 18 though.

Give Vanders / Hannan another crack. mFC will drop Rivers, certainty, it’s what they do - build them up then axe then.

We are better than last yr, not hard really.. Need a bit of continuity with this group and we will see improvement imo.

2-1 we have played 3 games, 14 to go. settle. we can still improve.

Fritsch is not strong enough to play deep. great summary dee tox.

Positives: Brayshaw was back playing well May was better Trac continues his excellent form Kosi wow will be great to watch for a long time Tmac contested all day Hibbo good by foot and showed dash. Negative: Selection still a worry for mine, Nev & Jones experience was needed against a seasoned Geel side Vanders looked a way off, thought he was injured because I hadn’t seen him for so long stupid simple decisions cost us the game too much handball in tight overall: Geelong are a better team

10changes since rd1, selection seems to be based on emotional decisions, good news stories.. odd selections over the last 18 months.

Been a member for 40 years, I’ll donate more when the club actually starts to perform on field and become relevant again.

Smith will not play forward, he has trained all preseason as a defender and played the majority of his career as a defender, we have an abundance of mid forwards named in this weeks team and he will not be one of them.

You will be waiting a long long time, Toms AFL career has mostly been underwhelming, I have very low expectations for what he will produce moving forward and I fear his trade value will be minimal at best.

Is that 9 changes since Rd 1? A settled team is something we haven’t had for a long time..

Weed for TMac Kozzie for ANB Vanders for Hunt

Yes agree + King up forward, great mix for them..

Saints looking good...

So who plays on Stringer next week? TMac in for another tough day vs Hurley.

He has bulked up considerably through his torso - chest & back but it has cost him his agility... To go with that he couldn’t keep his feet, if he is to be our main focal point up forward we are in strife.

Let’s start shuffling the deck chairs at selection, again...

No. Pre season games don’t count.

Amateur hour. Pathetic really.

Would he be in contention to get a game in front of Joel Smith 110%. tell me one thing Smith has proved to be better than Frost at. Rightio.

So how did our 3 key backs go tonight?

Why in the heck was Jetta playing on McGovern??? totally undersized down back and matchups all over the place, someone take control! And to see Goodwin laughing and smiling after the game made my blood boil. harden up Melbourne FFS!

McSpud brothers wouldn’t get a kick at local level.

Pathetic effort from an AFL team, barely competitive in the second half. They should be ashamed of that capitulation no matter the result. it’s going to be a long long year.

Pickett should serve another club week’s suspension in the practice match format, teach him from a young age not following proper AFL protocol is unacceptable.
