They said on Fox footy last night that Fantasia would miss from memory

Why didn’t the club say “rested” then instead of “omitted” rested after 4 games? Maybe young Bayley isn’t one of Goodys favourites

The issue with Gawn is himself. Constantly tapping to outnumbered areas, to opposition players, gets angry and belts it away where the other team swoops for a fast breakaway, flicks over the back without watching who’s there, it’s a real issue and look completely like he’s getting ahead of himself, or just not smart. He’s getting a lot of hit outs but I’ve been really disappointed in Max so far, he needs to be smarter than this. It could be the difference between winning and losing.

There’s plenty who are better than what we’ve got too

Yep it was a rubbish game until we waved the white flag

The concern from here after two decent losses is if the players fully lose confidence, that’s what I’m worried about as we know what happens then. Hopefully the inclusion of TMac and Viney gives the boys a big lift over coming weeks, we just need to grind it out until then and get a couple of wins, if not then look out.

That’s the major frustration though isn’t it, on OUR day we can beat anyone and when we have a bad day out we’re putrid. I think we were more consistent last year.

That’s half the issue as well, Vince, Jones and Lewis can’t execute anything. All good and well to rack up cheap stats but they’re meaningless most of the time. Bring back Daniel Cross

B: LEVER, O.MCDONALD, JETTA  HB: HIBBERD, T.MCDONALD, HUNT C : SALEM, OLIVER, TYSON HF: KENT, HOGAN, MELKSHAM F: GARLETT, WEIDEMAN, PETRACCA  FOLL: GAWN, JONES, VINEY  IC: BRAYSHAW, FRITSCH, HANNAN

My biggest problem and one that’s the most cause for concern is why have we gone backwards, we shouldn’t be this bad and players have gone backwards in a big way since last year it isn’t funny. Big 4 weeks coming up.

Richmond didn’t play that well, lots of skill errors. They’re being sat on a pedastal by the media. We were just very lucky they didn’t play their best or they would’ve been 8-10g up at a half time

Yet tigers bring in a young kid called Higgins who tears us apart and looks like he wasn’t troubled by us. The young card is getting too very long in the tooth.

Because it was only a 1-2 week injury, he also apparently said at a function on Tuesday that he’ll be right to play v Essendon. Personally I’d rather get games into kids and he and Vince retire, but we’ve got no kids, scary really, nobody in VFL even outplaying the Casey players, scary thought.

They have one less day break and some injuries and will still beat us

So maybe play Hogan in the Richo/Lynch role on the wing and have Tom CHB, Weid CHF and Pedo FF? FB ....... Oscar ...... CHB ...... Tom...... C Hogan, .......,....... CHF ...... Weideman ...... FF ...... Pedersen.......

I had him in mate and pulled him out at the last minute. Don’t think we can play Weid, Hogan, Pedo and TMac in the same side? I was all for pedo to come in for Richmond but to Sams credit and my surprise I think he did ok, especially relief rucking which surprised me

Out: Stretch, ANB, Harmes, Kent (injured) In: Tom McDonald, Hannan, Fritsch, Lewis speed, skills and experience in.

Omac 28 & 14 FYI

Frankston

Thanks mate

I’m pretty sure he squibbed a contest too, maybe second quarter, would have to watch the replay to see and I don’t think I will bother lol

I was going to upgrade to a Redlegs membership but won’t now if that’s the case.

It’s the same every single week v every opposition and nothing is being done to stop it, it makes me sick, rabbit in the headlights crap. Last night we twice gave up 4 in a row, that’s now 22 from 27 games, surely Goodwin must recognise this by now? It’s a structural/coaching issue I feel, we shouldn’t be this bad with the back 6 we have.

If you go back and read Satys or others training report, that’s exactly what we trained to do, Hunt the opposition. That’s why it’s a coaching issue, if we hunt the BALL instead we don’t have to play catch-up or chase. It’s beyond ridiculous the way this side is being coached. Effort aside, this is one of the poorest performances I’ve seen for a while. Meat and potatoes football won’t get us far.

Following Melbourne is like having a permanent hangover
