Vineytime

Out - McDonald brothers.

Watching their first game players laugh in our face as they were pulling us to shreds, especially Gawn was hard to watch, hopefully payback this week.

What’s his best position, he’s played half back, wing, half forward and now this yr is playing deep forward... Bailey had a great end to last season and a great pre season, form so far this yr has been ok. Still has improvement and upside in his game ?

3 players underperforming this season thus far: Harmes Brayshaw Salem For the MFC to become a good side we need these players to lift on a consistent basis, they have proven they can play to a high level, though 2020 they have disappointed.

Agree 100% with this, Harmes is the most disappointing performer thus far this season IMO, him and Brayshaw playing second fiddle to Trac, Oliver & Viney and not getting the job done.

Mids need to lift intensity a bit, still in this. Brisbane are a slick outfit, Neale is a jet.

Gawn is IMO MFC’s best player in the last 35 yrs, the influence he is having on games at the moment and his consistency over the last few years has been amazing.

Too many frothies watching a great performance, ready for bed already! ?

He’s still got a few more gears to go yet, still building match fitness..

In 2019 at training, means little now.

He may be quick at training but he is unproven at AFL level and has slow game sense / awareness. His career to date has been underwhelming.

Why would you play Smith forward? Can someone please explain to me the fascination with this bloke?

Kick the ball into the forward line a Melbourne, not back into the middle, KICK IT FORWARD FFS!

Haven’t seen or heard anything about Tom Sparrow for 12 months now, picked for Rd 1 last yr, was talked up (normal MFC) got injured and hasn’t been sighted since.. can’t be close to selection as we’ve made a dozen changes already and he hasn’t been one of them nor has he been named an emergency.... would like to hear how he’s going.

Brisbane’s 3rd quarter is like watching MFC.

Some great points from Jennings and well summed up.. I listened with great attention when he was on earlier Anyone get a bit of a feel there are a few sour grapes there though from Jennings?

Tomlinson as a lead up half forward makes a lot of sense to me, surely would offer more than Hunt.

3 weeks after the whole AFL supporter base has been questioning why these two haven’t been in the team, will the club finally see what everyone else does.

Lever needs to get back to basics, start by actually having an opponent and winning some contests, simply just defend.

I understand your point I just have a different opinion. Not many players improve their field kicking during their career, look at our perennial offenders for example- Hunt, Viney, Brayshaw, Oliver even Langdon.

I’ve played/ coached for 30+ yrs, I’m well aware of that. Goal kicking is totally seperate to what I’m talking about, field kicking, hand balling, marking - it’s poor at best and probably along with Adel & Freo the worst in the comp. Our key on ballers are the main culprits - Viney, Oliver.

How often does an AFL player improve their kicking over their career?? Examples please.

I agree, disposal is killing us, missed kicks / handballs, dropped marks, yeah the coach team selection and game plan at times can be queried but what hope has he got if we can’t kick.

Talking midfield champ, read the full quote.

It’s actually not mate cause they don’t get the job done. That’s the problem, all the talk they are great when they are not. Oliver / Brayshaw can’t kick. viney turnover king. Gawn is a star. Trac having a good yr. all the criticism comes for Goody but if the players can’t hit a target what hope has he got.
