I haven't read every post so this may have been pointed out already.

From memory , Dave Misson started at the MFC for the 2012 preseason (late 2011).

Not long after that we lost Jack Trengove to navicular injury that dragged out for way too long, and we lost Mitch Clark to a lisfranc injury. They are just the two main ones I can recall from soon after Misson got to the club...  perhaps there are others someone else will remember. 

Now this season we obviously have Viney,  Stretch, Hogan, T Mac all with foot or toe issues.

Is it all just a coincidence, or is Missons training/recovery program/philosophy the (very very big) problem?

Yeah but Heeney is much bigger than Pedo, oh wait a minute.

We clearly went in with one lumbering player too many.

Oh and also one skilless player and one sh-t scared player.

That's why we change tack and go small, we are 0-7 against top 8 sides, change it up Goody FFS.

From memory, we functioned quite well without Hogan last year and we beat WCE over there without him.

We function very well without him.

Stretch and before that Clark and Trengove. All under Missons watch?

Yep I've been banging on about it for the last 18 months, time to ditch this fool.

The guy is a jinx.

Can't disagree with a thing that was raised, we are flat track bullies.

Sydney were waiting for us to rip their heart out, they were on their hands and knees and we still couldn't finish them it.

Now with Hogan going down we need to remodel our forward set up to We stay too set in a particular structure mix it up, 1 tall (Tmac) 3 Mid talls, (Melk, Trac, Fristch) and 2 smalls (Jeffy, Kent).

Throw it around 1 tall, 2 mids, 3 Smalls.

He's very stubborn like that Goody, could be his undoing.

Maybe our midfielders can kick it to leading mid forwards this week, Jesse hasnt been the same since after the break,all the best for next year but this could be a blessing in disguise.

Have to go small in the forward line bring in Kent, Melksham(if ready), Hibbo for Hunt.

Doesn't matter if the big fella misses, we rolled the Eagles in perth without him last year and will do it again!

That's an omen right there Philthy.

Real leadership and brains would have addressed the lack of two way running allowing the Swans to waltz the ball up the ground with chip kicks & uncontested marks. Or would maybe have pushed AVB back to the square so Allir stopped ripping us across half back. Or realising Heeney was their mop up man in the last quarter & manning him up. And so on and so on..........

Usually like your contributions Rono but this is just a pizz poor opportunistic slap at Lewis.

 But you go ahead and worry about the last minute of the game. I'm far more concerned by what happened in the 99 minutes prior

We refuse to man up spares in our forward line especially when we have so much momentum. 

Those last 6 minutes were so [censored] frustrating.

Sydney was 7 points up  , 19 minute mark, 6 minutes to play, 2 men down, had 1 point scored in the quarter, we had all the momentum after 3 goals and...

nul nil nudda nothing

swans controlled the game 

played heeney as a loose man

goodwin 1- work out how to overcome this or lose the close ones 2- work out how to do it or lose the close ones

They were shot to bits and we still found away to lose the unloseable.

Loved it when Frosty beat Buddy in the 1 on 1 in the 3rd and then burned him off to the roar of the MCC.

I had high hopes for you today Frosty and you exceeded them.

Only part of the game i loved, burned him off big time starting from behind.

Could never understand why he wasn't in the team when Lever was on the park, have always been a staunch Frost follower. 

His kicking and decision making has come on leaps and bounds, his pace and breaking of the lines is Elite.

Goody and his Goons [censored] up royally when they refused to pick him at the start of the year, they've stumbled into this.

We lost to a beat up ageing Swans team, the same team that lost to Gold Coast, who's coach took us to school in their own back half. 

Every team that is half decent have played 2 spares behind the ball and us as the dumb mike hunts we are just continually keep kicking it down their throats.

Our coaches continually keep sending out the same [censored] up instructions, its has a really deflating effect on the team and supporters at the ground.

That along with our horrific Goalkicking absolutely destroyed us, when the pressure and expectation is on we go to water, we dont have the mental capabilities to deal with the hype.

Admire your passion., but I feel for you! Because we are crap!!

Nah don't worry we will win. No expectation we will win, mark it down in the book.

No special game to promote, no media street this week, mark it down as a win.

We will beat West Coast next week, you know why coz there is no expectation on us to win.

we are [censored] weak mentally to deal with expectation.

Sydney were on their knees and we still couldnt put them away.

FML.

This is [censored] torture, where is the hunger and composure. 

This team lost to the [censored] Gold Coast for [censored] sake. Wake the [censored] up Now.

I actually thought we had learnt but we continue to kick to a forward line where we are outnumbered. 

Are we the worst club for set shots or what 3 goals 13 behinds FML.

This is terrible, stage fright, 6 goals allowed in a row. 

Goody [censored] do something.

Wake up Dees or another opportunity is gone.

Absolutely no chance ANB is dropped.  The bloke has been in terrific form over the last month and is one of our fittest players.  I guarantee he'll play.

He's a vital cog now, he's in career best form.

Will the GOONS think about it?

 

That's the Million dollar question everyone wants the answer to.

Only trouble is they may be getting Rohan back, which makes their forward line that little bit more complex.

But the case is pretty clearly there for having an extra in defence to at least break even and mop up the mess. In what is likely to be a grinding game the last thing we want is for too many easy goals to slip through against us.

It is a necessity against Buddy, we do not want a repeat of Geelong and Hawkins leading into wide open spaces and slaughtering us again do we?

Hopefully Goody and his Goons are on top of this game day and the necessary plans are in place.

And if we beat wet coke people will say we got them when they were still reeling from the Gaff incident.

Wasn't sure where to ask this, but the few weeks the team was a bit flat (Collingwood, Port, St Kilda) - would that have coincided with a heavy block of training?

I remember a few years back or more, the good teams did heavy blocks of training from around the middle of the season for around 4 weeks, then taper off before finals.

A very good observation Clinto?

Its the only way you could explained the loss to the saints, we were very sluggish and tired.
