Previously known as LITD.

It was a fwd line that failed in four finals. Totally. First with Bbb and then Tmac. The other fwds did dodly squat and the Mfc just closed it's eyes each year . In what other clubs would a bloke like Petty get gifted 18 games for a return of 6 goals. Madness. Now our midfield has collapsed as well. I see trouble in 25 even if the club doesn't again.

Um his 3 word comments are visceral and instinctive. Watching the replay may sometimes give a more accurate response but as most of accept this is not the point of the thread. In any event Joeboy does quite a good job. It's not an easy thread to complete.

I feel sorry for Tmac. Up until the last two games he has been great in his old...new...role. The ball was coming in at warp speed and he was on two of the best fwds on the comp. He held Hogan until our midfield imploded against the Giants. I think he's still moving quite well. Last night was a shocker but he certainly was not alone

Fgs how long is Schache contracted for? Please tell me this is his last year. What about Fullerton, McAdam, Hunter and Bbb? Surely we don't need them on our list that is already one short for reasons we can't mention. Please Mfc no more other clubs hand me downs going fwd. Hasn't worked in the slightest. Even Billings has been a bust.

Im not one calling for Goody' s dismissal. Frankly he has enough credit in the bank to keep going. Alas your citing outs and injuries doesn't do it for me. Max played a ripper of a game injured or not. Not an issue. Last time we played the dogs...this season..we beat them quite convincingly. Spargo wasn't playing and Salo wasn't really tearing it part in that game. Gus didn't play either Tracca is the only significant one missing. And to be fair to you, Tracca played a blinder. I'm talking round two this year. Last night we were completely smashed. Let's be honest that score doesn't tell the full story. Dogs missed so many easy ones it could have been a 100 points loss. From what I can gauge there were only five different players between round 2 and last in nights wreck. How can we account for this? Lack of passion. Effort. Pride. Commitment. Those half arsed tackles sum it up. Also Viney, Kozzie, anb, and quite a few other supposed top tier players didn't turn up for consecutive weeks. All when an apparent finals birth was up for grabs. The dogs on the the other hand were the opposite. Hungry. Fast. Tough. Invested. I'm sorry but we were a rabble. Not the way you want to end what started out to be a good season. We have been like chandler this year. Starts out great then disappears. We came back from Gather round with four wins from five. I think we celebrated too early. Since then we have won only six from fifteen. We are a shell of the team we were since then. A team that has played Petty fwd for 18 games when he's only kicked 6 goals. A team whose midfield imploded this year. And finally for some reason our touted backline has followed suite. Not excited about 2025 when this is how we exit 24.

Such an insipid performance last night. That was really a 100 point thumping given dogs inaccuracy. A woeful lack of effort by us. Jack Viney, Anb, Kozzie, Tmac, Melksham, Sparrow...where were you all? Mentally away on holidays? Thanks Max , Langers, Rivers and a couple of others. But wow what away to bow out of finals. Absolutely obliterated. Our tackling efforts were a disgrace. There is no premiership window anymore with this lot. Apparently they are more than happy with just one. Feel sorry for the youngster's who deserve more leadership. Chandler you are so overated. Petty... please 18 games fwd for six goals . Come on. Our backline has gone the way of our midfield which went the way of our fwd line. This team is gone. Im grateful for the memories and the flag. Last year injuries and Maynard robbed us of our second from this group. But I'm pretty sure the premiership window has been nailed shut now. Ironically it was the dogs to hammer in the last nails.

That was a one hundred point smashing. Dogs missed so many goals. A lot of young players out there who aren't really ready yet. We lack depth. I hope we don't go and get some more club rejects this off season. Didn't work last time. Our midfield was a shambles again. We have some serious problems and most of them are senior players who should be in their prime.

Clarry has struggled all year. Last year Jack Viney stepped up. This year JV has been well down. Sparrow is ordinary always. Tracca out. Bang bang bang. And our fwd line with Petty at the helm for eighteen games gives us six goals. Bang. Lately we've seen our great backline throw in the towel. There is no premiership window.

Fairly accurate assessment. I would say that Bowey played one of his better games for the year. Langdon was a bright light as well. Viney didn't look very enthusiastic and your right Kozzie look like he had checked out just like his two games prior. Not good at all. Anb struggled as did a few others. Chandler is way overated. Petty as a fwd averages one goal in just over three games. In what other team would he stay in that role week after week with that low scoring?

Can't see a flag next year either I'm afraid.

Fair call. We have fallen back to the old Mfc at the business end of this season. We saw signs of it earlier. And I thought many of our players were still in their prime this year. Nup. We have some great young players coming up at least

Two more mids Another goal sneak Two solid tall fwds.

Empires rise and fall. The dogs star has shone again. Maybe we will next year. Need some savvy recruiting this time in terms of second hand players. And a lot on our list need to pull their fingers out. And some good luck. Some big injuries this year and all the wrong times. We live in hope as Dees fans again I guess. This season can go and get .... Including the umps 2025 here we come.

Thank you for calling it out. I'd add Billings to that. Done well with some youngsters but those others were way off.

My poor son traveled 800 ks for his first game tonight. Thank you Mfc for turning him off footy. Or maybe into a dogs supporter.

It is..... but it's definitely not going to happen tonight or again this year. We are done. Maybe twelwth spot finish this year. No more straight sets rubbish I suppose.

As bad as the umps have been ...yep..we have been five times worse. We have no midfield It helps when you do. Remember when we played this mob in a gf three years ago? Seems like a decade and yet a lot of them are still out there getting pantsed. Make no mistake the score line doesn't count. We have been absolutely put to the sword tonight. This year.

We smashed this team when we played them earlier. I know Tracca is out but is it that much of a difference?

Sorry double post.

I think the dogs have shown us how to tackle and we have really put our bodies on the line far too often. I think it's a fair assessment. A few exceptions.

Honest quote. Started with the Lions first game v us and cemented re Eagles and then Freo ( twice). We are lost. And sadly it's players like Oliver Viney Sparrow May Lever Salem Petty That give me pause. I'm worried for season 25.

I was talking about season 25.

Yes 2024 is done and dusted. What a great way to bow out. Absolutely smashed. We have given notice today that bruise free footy is well and truly back.

Come Dees show some ticker. Show some pride on the colours.

Why have we fumbled so much all night?
