Mel Bourne

That ball drop in his kicking style almost begins at neck-level. If it was working I'd say leave it alone, but it really ain't. Otherwise I'm a fan and would hate to see him go.

Shutting down Naughton is key next Sunday. He’s got a lot of confidence and is really enjoying showing the punters what he’s made of. May’s biggest test at the MFC so far.

Goodwin hinted at two weeks.

6 Oliver 5 Tmac 4 Jones 3 Preuss 2 Hunt 1 Harmes

When we were staring down the barrel at a loss in that last quarter, I was starting to fantasise about merging with another club with a new name and a fresh beginning.

Max's hit-outs are pretty sublime at times. Not sure I saw too much of that from Preuss today.

Goodwin would've needed a change of underwear when the siren went. Preuss just needs a bit more fuel in the tank, which will hopefully get worked into him over the next few weeks. Hunt needs to believe in himself and go for the friggin' goal when the opportunity is there. Frost had moments of brilliance and moments of ill-disciplined stupidity that almost cost us the match. Needs to lose that aspect of his game now. Salem was kicking like some other guy today. Weid has some serious confidence issues, which have plagued him since that infamous missed goal a few weeks back. Could see him dropped next week, but for who? Harmes hasn't been his former electric-self for a while now. I'm just thinking out loud here.

Real bummer about Marty Hore. Dunkley did pretty well for someone who's been in the big league for three weeks. Couple of classy feeds to the forwards under pressure. Sure, some pretty ugly disposals at times, but I can see him being a future Melksham.

If MFC put our best player at risk of exacerbating his injury in a nothing game, in a nothing season, I will be livid.

Technically a sprained ankle is ligament damage but yeah, pulling him off for the rest of the season is a bit ???

Surely he’ll have another period in the sun. He was such an instrumental part of last year’s finals campaign.

Cats-supporting Uber driver last night: ”What’s the name of that guy who dropped the sitter in front of the goals?” ”Tom MacDonald” ”He’s hopeless. You should get rid of him” ”Yep”

Tom MacDonald is a neocon who goes to Jordan Peterson conferences and does podcasts with the Institute Of Public Affairs. This is something I was willing to overlook when he was a half-decent footy player, but I can’t actually stand looking at the guy now that he sucks harder than a flagship-model Hoover.

We have no target in the forward line. Tmac? Hardly. Weideman? Nup. Smith? Pfft. We are a car without a steering wheel. Until this issue is fixed, there's absolutely no point in getting excited about this club.

Well at least I don't have read the trippers on here talking about our finals aspirations anymore.

WHY IS PETTY STILL ON HIPWOOD????

Just keep Fkkkn running and go for goal FFS!

Is Brayshaw concussed again???

He seems ok now. Christ, that was a physical half and a half. Great to see the team come off in one piece.

Weideman needs to get involved!!

MAXY!

Ooooffff. That was horrible to watch.

Thought he's been ok today

Seems ok now. Just a niggle. I'm just projecting panic onto every player now.

Both May and Petracca are looking proppy too.
