Collingwood premiers, in a canter

Yeah but if he was playing for us right now John, he would be a spud. Just ask any Geelong supporter. Downhill skier of the highest order.

And rain it will.......goals to Hawthorn

Oh dear. Just when you thought things could not get any worse. Fifth loss for the year on our home turf. How’s the “cauldron” looking Goody?

Exactly. With Viney out, our team is now weaker. Let’s just hope some attitude and will to win kicks in. How about adopting a “beat your direct opponent and get the footy” mentality.

I hope not. Seriously, 10 disposals at VFL level and people are suggesting he should be promoted!! Would rather persist with Weid as his form will eventually turn. Keilty is just not at AFL standard, that is why he is still a rookie.

It was an infringement the umpires had been paying all year, irrespective of the circumstances, and they chose to ignore this one. My point is that the Dogs were favoured all that year by biased umpiring. They even turned the throwing of the ball into an art form which aided their game plan. Again, the umpiring let them get away with this. The free kick differential for 2016 was staggering beyond belief.

And the most glaring one was the failure of the ump to award a 50 metre penalty for running into the protected zone when Tom Scully had a the ball on the wing in the dying moments of the prelim against GWS. If the correct decision was made it would have put Scully about 40 metres from goal to kick the winner.

Always that way Goffy. check out the free kick stats in 2016

Yes I am with regards to MFC. Not alone on this forum.

I was referring to first round picks. We have given up 3 since 2017, and right now have little to show for it. I think Fritsch has taken a step backwards this year, just doesn’t seem to be playing with the same flair and Spargo will continue to struggle due to his lack of pace and size.

And lose the disparaging comments pal! You do not know me.

Sure have for this year.

Mate, if Frankston is the only place he can get a gig, then that says it all

If the last 2 years are anything to go by, it won’t matter what number pick we have, coz we will stuff it up anyway

Fully agree Webber. All that has changed this week is 5 vfl players in. Last year was yet again another false dawn, we fluked a couple of finals wins, crumbled when it mattered and have continued that sorry trend. Really not that surprised but boy oh boy extremely disappointed. Good luck to you optimists, but you will reach my level of despair over time

Does he know how to do anything? Is clearly not invested in the club. No appetite for the contest at all, watched him very closely on Saturday. Trade at years end

Wouldn’t matter what odds we were for the win cos it only pays if you do. And we wont

Yes, I believe the other is Neita making a comeback. Would have about as much impact as Jeffy. The reality is that there is NO-ONE who can come in that would be an improvement on today’s 22. If that 22 that played today had any self respect and pride for the jumper they play in, then it rests solely with them to redeem themselves. Today was a disgrace. This club has promised us success with first the Roos/Jackson era, now the Goodwin succession. Goody telling us supporters pre-season to get on board and make the G a cauldron for visiting teams. Words just words. FFS we can’t even bloody well win there!!!!!

No, just two words for Sam....the first starts with F, the second with O

Maybe he is suffering the same malaise as Jones? Too old? Seems to escape the heat lamp from posters here, but to date his season has been deplorable.

I wouldn’t say they are rubbish, seemed to have improved a bit from last year. However kicking only 74 points on a perfect day for football against a team that was down 2 key defenders shows that they don’t have a lot of scoring firepower. As Max said, we need to continue on from Thursday night and that means defensive pressure. If we bring that we will always outscore a team like the Saints.

On a perfect night for football, both of these pretenders fail to trouble the scorers. Get out of our way you wastes of space

There are no guarantees that we won’t have players in the same boat at the end of this year. Viney and McDonalds injuries could flare up again due to the nature of them. . We will lose a lot of experience in Jones and Lewis. The next tier like Fritsch Weideman Petracca etc have not come on as expected, in fact have probably gone backwards. Sorry Old Dee but I just don’t see the light right now.

Leaked to the media according to Jake Lever. Presumably by a participant at the meeting? A bit of unrest amongst the playing group? Just reading between the lines.
