Need more from Max.

Our tackles don't stick

Jeffo looks overwhelmed at times. I hope he makes it.

Our handballing is simply horrible...lazy..... selfish....and unprofessional.

Jeffo ...good Lord.

I50s...MFC 14....cfc...26

Just against some clubs and especially us. He hasn't had too much opportunity yet.

Just against some clubs and especially us.

Can these umpires learn what the hell 15 is. For the love of footy....they are morons.

These umpires are garbage. From constantly pulling centre bounces to pulling frees out of their.....ask your mother for a sixpence to see the big giraffe. Mcvee and May shockers. Jeffo beck in his hole. Thank God for Kozzie

Cwood Carlton Hawthorn Essendon Geelong In that order. Can't stand em. A must win tonight solely on my level of hatred. But sometimes that's good enough to hold my interest. Such a misery guts with footy at times. Will be keen to see how young Jeffo goes again and our fwd line without Petty.

Nothing a few walks won't straighten out. Like Boston to Rio and back.( Not that I would ever body shame anyone).

How does a lack of a quality tall CHF impinge Fritta? Genuine question. Not being sarcastic. Agreed his better form was pre Petty games.

Definitely want him to stay and yea our delivery to him has been poor frequently. But he needs to account somewhat for his lack of pressure. Images of him jogging after players or soft tackling have been too frequent this year. Looks like he's turned things around and has lately been showing his old hunger. A bit too much at times maybe where he should have handballed. But we would be crazy to let him go given how much our fwd line has been struggling over the last few years. And while Frittas form has waxed and waned he's not the biggest offender. Our leader goal kicker for the last three years or.more I think. He shows some very special Kozzie like talent at times and when he is on, is a pure excitement machine.

I hope he stays a Demon. I've been guilty of giving him a little flak about not chasing and tackling as much as I would like or at least my perception of what is required. But at the end of the day he is one of those talented players that can pretty much go close to winning a game of his own boot. He seems to drift in and out of games somewhat but he's still definitely a keeper. His " spurts " in the GF helped get us home so there's that.

Finally after some glimpses of talent from him, we must let him play out the few remaining games regardless of what he does. Not.likevwe are going to make finals.

Self moderated.

Bizarre he was only in because May was crook. Something not quite right about all this..

My bad.

Yes please. Petty down back again where the poor bloke plays really well. And would be a far better option than Lever currently. For sure. It's been so long I think many of us may have forgotten how good Petts is as a defender. Playing forward he struggles to take an uncontested mark. Back as a defender he would take contested ones frequently. Played a huge part in our 21 success. To be fair Lever and May were cat their peak alongside him.O remember him absolutely crushing port in Adelaide one day. But now we have Tmac reinventing himself to reinventing himself as a defender again. Tmac is looking almost as good as a defender of five years ago. He held it altogether on Sunday. Him, Turner and Petty is strong enough and maybe we could trial May forward. Id actually prefer Turner fwd but he's probably our main defender of the future and I guess May as a fwd is too late now. To Anyway if Goody can be stubborn about this than so can I. Let's just hope Roo finds his old mojo and Jeffo shows what others have said he can do. At least he's earned a spot for next week. I hope so.

Ha. I've always loved Tmac I don't think I've ever said a bad word against him ever. Always been one of my faves and one of the most committed players we've ever had.

I say we play In Jeffo and Roo rain hail or shine.....zero marks or ten....goals or none. Same with three or four other youngsters and other 100 odd gamers like Sparrow who haven't set the world alight. Let's see what they can do or can't. Sure well take a lot of hits but what does it matter. Even if we win a spoon, we will discover who to keep. And let's follow through on this plan and be ruthless come resigns. I mean as happy as I was to see our highest score and a solid win, Melksham isn't the future. Although he's a must lock in for a coaching role. Absolutely. Frittas still got a few good years in him thank goodness but he plays hard and well or gets dropped. We know what he can do but if he won't tackle he's out. I know he's an awesome talent but in truth his tally and effort have been well down all year. And again as good to see him firing it's a.must he maintains this intensity for the rest of the season. If someone is coming out of contract then nobody is safe if we are determined to win another flag.

True but last time we played them about 13 weeks ago....they smashed us by 130 off to 66 or something like that. Yesterday was almost the opposite. So yea things are better. But that's the thing about this club you don't know what they'll do. Just like a reversal yesterday we were. Killed by the Saints...beat the Lions at the Gabba...lost to gws and Cwood by points. In fact notwithstanding the worst display of umpiring I think I've ever seen...we actually beat Cwood. Fritta is someone who sums this club up and apologies to those who give their best each week but Fritta is on or off. Chased or doesn't. Tackles then doesn't. Kicks straight or poor. It was encouraging to see him play a solid four quarters again but more so to see young Jefferson play his best game I think the kid has been intimidated on the big stage but once he moves past it may be our best fwd moving fwd so to speak. Unless Jvr gets back and beyond his previous form which have us all so much hope./

And playing like a gun.

Yep Tmac was epic as a forward. He started going downhill in the role in the middle of our premiership year but was definitely instrumental in ten wins we had early in. And thereafter even if he didn't clunk them bought the ball to a comp where a plethora of sharp shooters in Kozzie( starting to find his feet)...Nibbler and Spartacus. Harmes chipped in with a few others including Viney. BBB was also there so while Tmac dominated with his size and sheer power, BBB had some extra height and leap . It was almost as good as Tmac and Hogan. Better because we had more crumbers and other players hitting their straps like Tracca. I think Tmac was our leading goal scorer that year but we had so many kicking twenty plus for the year. Much more than our current lead tall in Petty this year. I think currently Fritta...Melksham and are at about 30 each. But in 21 we had about six players over this. As better as our fwds were then our mids were at their peak with some precision delivery as opposed to the later game plan of that she blows I wish we tried May fwd line we did with Tom instead of Petty. Because as I keep repeating...and now boring myself...Petty is the perfect defender. And while some players like Tmac can do both...some just can't. It's not a blight on Harrison. I feel sorry he's been thrown into the job when he is one of our best defenders. I think people have forgotten. Far better than Lever these days at least. Anyhoo, the days of Tmac, BBB ( a leading comp home and away goal scorer for three years in a row), Jackson and Fritta combined with all the smalls mentioned and our minds and wingers always chipping in was why we won a flag. In 22 BBB played while Tmac was injured. I think BBB may have been too or just fading away because he kicked only one goal for both those finals....0.5 a final. Not good. Given that Tmac was out . Jackson never really a prolific goal scorer kicked zip for both. I think he had already checked out. Well he certainly played like he had. Melksham despite his recent surge of current form kicked one goal for both finals. As much as I love Jake the truth is he has always been a very inconsistent forward. I know I will get flack for this but it's footy Gospel. Our leading goal scorer was Fritta with two and three. And our inaccuracy reared it's ugly head. Take two in 23..Jackson was gone...not that it mattered....this time Tmac was in for BBB who was cooked. Actually they both were and Tmac did the same as BBB with 0.5 goals for the finals series. Sadly Milkshake went down before the finals. Fritta was again our best with two goals per final with Kozzie and Joel Smith helping out. Despite no talls firing again...if Melksham was playing we may have made it. The 23 finals were both low scoring encounters plagued again with our shocking shooting at goal. Especially against against Carlton which was atrocious. Any way it's been the same ever since except for a glimpse yesterday which was interestingly without any domineering tall. Melksham and Fritta. The first with strength and the second with his leap do play tall in some aspects. But yep our failure to replace... Joel Smith Luke Jackson Grundy Tmac ( just rotated) BBB Has led to where we are currently and it's not good. I get mistakes are made. But four years of poor recruiting or non recruiting of fwds and poor kicking is not what you want from a professional outfit. As supporters who pay good money for membership and going to games...the club has let many down. Goody should do the right thing and own some of the responsibility. If he stays he should at least put his hand up and say... Mia Culpa. Why has Goody been so stubborn and kept Petty forward when it has not worked,? And 0.7 goals per game has to be a bust. And before any troll states he brings the ball to ground...he often fails to do so. He is athletic enough to get to a competition when the ball is delivered poorly but he lacks of core strength and is often out marked before he can punch the ball. As a defender he frequently playing fwd he frequently gets caught behind the ball and then it's too late to spoil. He's not bad below his knees for his size but he's bumped away too often . He is a tall player but needs more mass and muscle to play as a forward. Let him play in the backline Simon. He deserves it. Why not try Turner or May or Lever fwd. We've tried Tmac and it was a huge success. Win us a flag. Are these three options so incredulous or indispensable in their current roles? May actually used to be a forward. If you give Petty two years with very limited results why not a few weeks each for the others? We don't have much to lose. Oh wait just two double finals chances and then two years floating on the bottom of the ladder. What's that old saying about the definition of insanity? Something like following this club with Goody coaching.
