leave it to deever

The amount of times Oliver got into position to win the ball but then see him blindly bang it onto his boot to nobody was so frustrating and self defeating.

That's the thing... Players like Bowey Rivers Viney Salo Langers Are not impacting games like they used too.

Good report. Jvr was good for me. Did you forget Laurie? I fully understand.

I thought he'd at least be on the receiving end of one or two crunching tackles. He gave them instead. And his mate Moore pushed his knee into Tracs spleen. Way to wave the flag for Gus. Maynard not bruised even fairly isn't a great look. Especially after all the talk about a response.

Someone needs to own this ridiculous kicking at goal. We are now a club that gifts players games. Oliver with no real pre season. Petty. Laurie. Billings. But where are the replacements? What happened to us that all of a sudden we find the cupboard is bare? Darcy Moore is up there with Maynard. We have gone from top four to season absolutely done and dusted. What a huge response from us today. God forbid we just turn up. I just hope the club doesn't feed us any more dribble. Todays lack of effort says it all. Maybe in his wisdom Goody told the players not to touch Maynard in fear of the distraction. I hope so because otherwise we look weak. Don't worry lads...just wait until next week ....we will respond. Pfff.

Now that was unacceptable. Great fightback MFC. You can go to Adelaide now Petty. When will Goody drop him? Never

I know. Surely you would have thought we would respond. All we are saying by not retaltating is you can do whatever you want. Pies must think we are a pushover. I feel sorry for Gus. I would want my mates to remonstrate my forced retirement. But instead we let Moore plant his knee into Tracca back. We play like gentlemen against those who play like dogs. And it's not working for us.

Bit late Fritta.

Yep nothing wrong with our midfield.

Embarrassingly so.

Good question. For me it's not a case of wanting him sacked. It's just a case of fresh blood and enthusiasm. Especially some better selections like Laurie, Petty and Billings. Even Sparrow. But I guess it's a knee jerk reaction and I don't have any ideas to replace him with. I know we need a better goal kicking coach..4. 13 to 13 5. Also a coach to get our defenders coordinated and talking to one another. Possibly a Ruck coach to have Max's taps go to our advantage too. Food for thought. Also a motivational speaker to arrest our slow starts. But that's probably on Goody.

I feel sorry for Max

This. Ironically after all the talk from all and sundry that last week's weak effort wasn't acceptable. News flash MFC, neither is this. Bruise free footy with poor skills thrown in for a laugh. The manic play on with errant handballs and a backline that doesn't communicate. What a waste of a day watching this tripe. As long as Petty gets dropped....oh wait . And Maynard hasn't even been tickled. Last week was a dark one but today hasn't been much better. Perhaps the club won't say anything after today's loss. One can only hope. But they won't. They'll roll out some tripe about something. Spare us please . If you can't come out and make a statement against a club that silenced one of our most beloved and best players then forget about anything else. 2024 season RIP.

Our backline needs to man up on their opponents. Why does Laurie get selected? Gee we really only have one really effective midfielder and Moore rammed his knee into his kidneys.

How many times have we seen a score line like this. One more scoring shot and we our six goals down. Maybe it is on the coaches.

We lost this game as soon as we selected Petty up forward again. Not the only reason obviously but it's a poor sign that he's a constant walk up start. I mean why should he give his all. Talk about job security.

I'll drive him to the airport.

That handball chain in the middle totally sums us up. A man should know his limits.

Nice to see Petty back to his old form for one quarter only. If he isn't dropped, after mo goals again, then we need a new coach.

Sparrow has totally gone missing after a good start. Surely we need to try someone else. Sick of players gifted games.

Umpires always call us to play on. Every time.

Fritta not interested today. Thank goodness for Jvr.

Time to go to the bottle shop for me.

Petty looked very awkward there.

News flash...We ain't Sydney mate. When a player like Langers has four touches, he has no excuse for zip tackles.
