Stats in the wrong hands are dangerous. To get an accurate view of this turnovers you need to assess the % turnovers/disposals. It's pretty common for mids to have the highest turnovers and other stats for that matter

These are the threads that get started when you have a poor year and no finals

I think we need a review to determine what sort of review we need. Bring in Gary Lyon to lead it. History shows he's the go to man

Whether todd is leaving or not l don't know, but the lack of appreciation for his efforts by many is appalling. Prior to him moving to list management and recruitment our drafting was terrible. Lost count how many first round picks we had that returned donuts. Likewise the suggestions of conflict of interest. Jack is captain because he is driven and leads by example. Just needs helping managing his body and some decent sports science staff.

Our skills were ok last year although we still had i50s wasted. Think we are less fit and tired mentally which leads to poor concentration and form. Fitness area thankfully is having a much needed revamp

Definitely hampered during the year but kept plugging away. The main issue here is that we miss manager players injuries. Should have rested and been given the chance to have a good run at it injury free.

With the end of the season approaching and questions being raised about our game plan, lets hope the 't' word doesn't rear its head again. No, not tanking, turnovers! At least in years gone by when we finished down the bottom we often weren't trying.

Pretty sure his high performance program won't involve bricks ...

4-6 weeks in rehab is code for 12+weeks but we don't want to tell supporters and sponsors that

.

Can only assume he was trying to pass that off ...

He has said himself that his issues were in Yuendumu and not at mfc. having said that 'm sure drinking doesn't help

So when do we lose patients? Is it the game plan (coaches responsibility) which leaves us under pressure / in bad field position or personnel (player talent) that can't execute and follow instruction. Even when we win we tend to have been inefficient

China was in 2010 and his first charges were in 2012 so cant see the link. First got himself in trouble in NT when intervening in complex family / cultural troubles

l'm sure one of the challenges the coaching staff would have set for 2019 was am improvement in our conversion and delivery around the F50. Seems an epic fail with few signs of any progress. l give them until mid 2020 to improve otherwise some new ideas are needed by end of next year

Issues started when he left mfc not prior

As long as he's not out for the dreaded and cursed "4 to 6 weeks". If that's the case, we won't see him until mid next year!

Out: Wagner is depth so he will miss out. Either ANB or Hannan will likely miss also as neither did much. In: Hibberd and Lewis. Think Lever has had enough niggles post returning from knee surgery, to suggest he just needs to have a couple of injury free weeks on track and return without worrying about re-injuring something so he can focus on getting the footy

Won't be captain next year, but its got nothing to do with 1 free kick in a career of highly disciplined football

What to do with Nathan Jones? Easy, keep playing him and give him some short stints in the middle where he is best. Do we really want to batter are young on ball brigade for 100% of 22 games in a season?

Think we cut him some slack. Always played disciplined footy and he was standing up for a mate. Lets not get too hysterical. Not easy playing intense footy and staying on the edge without going over occasionally. His record is excellent in that regard

Awesome video clip of Viney putting him down. Seems like he knew Walters he was coming but didn't want to let on until - bang down he goes. Hilarious

A lot to like about today's game. Has some natural football smarts, is clean with his hands, and has a piercing kick. Small forward position isn't an easy role to play though. There aren't too many small forwards that play consistently aside from Walters, Ablett, Betts, De Goey. Others tend to be in and out of games, so hope he can continue to develop and play other positions. Spargo and even JKH (in his first season) both looked promising at times but are now in the VFL as they aren't elite forwards or able to play other positions when things aren't going their way

Other get moved on before ANB. Showed he can be of value when in form, clearly no in form at the moment and so is on the fringe. Some like JKH, have shown less
