Big Carl

Out coached again today!

With the dozens of skills coaches we have can someone PLEASE teach Bugg how to

kick?? 

The conditions are not ideal today but our skills are terrible. Can't keep our feet either!

Way out of touch early in this game!

Needs a spell at Casey.

Not the greatest. La Fontaine was pretty handy. Wells, Alves, Alan Johnson, B Lovett all better than a number on his list. 

Bluey Adams - 6 flags!

Add Gary Hardeman to that list.

What is the  verdict on Max's list of top Demons players?

Deserves a good old chat.

Personally I think the whole AFL are corrupt and try to even up games to protect their image of an even competition, but...

Why are we so slaughtered with blatant frees? 

Are we not playing to the rules?

Are we undisciplined?

I seriously question some umpiring decisions in recent seasons, Razor and Matt Nicholls are by far the worst against us. It's very bad and disappointing that one of the games best ruckmen, Gawn, gives up trying when he doesn't know whats happening. We always seem to be on the wrong end of the stick... It's not about totals, its about blatant frees not paid

Sadly they are a necessary evil. A blight on the game!

Couldn't agree more. They have been corrupt for years. A law unto themselves.

Reminds me of a big recruit from SA in the early 70's who came to the club on big $$ and big wraps!!

2017 numbers: 382 frees for, 384 frees against.

Do you honestly think there's a deliberate biased against the club, or that umpiring is inconsistent and, as supporters, we remember the ones that go against us...

It is NOT the numbers of frees it is where and when they are paid!!

No. If the 1st quarter is any indication.

Outplayed, out muscled and lacking in intensity.

When will this club get "Fair Dinkum"?

A lot has been spoken about the playing group of the last 2 weeks.

What is the view of the performance out of the coaches box??

We won’t drop the VC Lewis but he wasn’t great. Looked like an old man being on the ground all night. 

Bugg might need a week to get back into but didn’t inspire. With Kent firing again the pressure is on which is great.

I think Frost will come in for Wagner although Hunt needs a kick up the backside!!

Except for the one or two classy things he does a game, I really don’t share the love of Salem. Hardly noticed him. Very over rated imo.

Probably out Wagner for Frost for the talls.

Thin ice = Salem, Hunt, Bugg 

 

OUT: Salem, Wagner, Lewis, 

IN: Frost, Brayshaw, Kent

The only issue I see with these predictions, is that none of these experts would have picked Tigers or the Bulldogs to win a flag 

Agree. It comes down to attitude and application and I'm not sure that MFC has that. If you look at the player list and potential there is no way anyone would have picked the Tigers back in Jan 2017.

but if that was the case and I don't doubt you, how was Goodwin and his team so out of touch with the player group that they decided to repeat the exercise.

For the players to involve the AFLPA smacks of desperation in the sense that it should have been resolved long before it got to that stage.

Just an amazing stuff up on the part of the MFC

Blah, blah, blah "the guys are shattered as a result of Round 23" blah, blah,blah...

Rounds 22 & 23 were worrying signs, yes as they were in 2016 

First Quarter performances during the 2017 season were mostly very poor.... I don’t have to be part of the inner sanctum to extrapolate such information

If you don’t see that, that’s your choice

53 years of mediocrity and so it goes on and on...

Who cares: none of this is going to mean jack when the season starts

True. A summer of kick to kick and running around witches hats is a great pre season!!!

I like Simon Goodwin but could he please stop using that word "humble"? Humble is amazing in everyday life, but it has no place in my footy club after what we've endured. I see humble and I read "meek."

 

Jack Watts is humble. Jimmy Toumpas is humble. I don't want humble. I want "demonic".

Not yet convinced about Goodwin.

Forgot how good he was...

What an outrageous way to treat anyone let alone a champion of our club.

"We had 5 minutes to get our stuff together & by the time I got to the front door, my email had been cut off and my pass had been cancelled"

David Schwarz who, along with Mark Allen, were sacked by SEN when their programme ended last night.

Is it Hutchy’s Crocmedia that owns the station? 

So has Ox been sacked from calling AFL games as well or just from the Drive Home programme?

Rjay if they are setting up Spud Frawley, they are struggling surely? Or am I misjudging the audience? Maybe it is me but Spud is a not very interesting relic of the 70's and talks like he is still in the change rooms from when he played. Very cringeworthy at times, blokey talk about not getting enough from the missus, [censored] ups with mates etc. And importantly not much analysis of the games when he is supposed to be talking about it rather than him so what is the attraction? 

Agree. How he ever coached the Tigers for 5 years is staggering.

Position: 6th

Improvers: ANB, Hogan, 

Sliders: Vince, T-Mac, Stretch. i'd say O-Mac too, but he's pretty meh already... He'll slide to Casey & Petty'll take his spot (hopefully sooner rather than later).

Darkhorse: Spargo

Vince and Lewis retire.

Sliders: Stretch and Kent - traded.

T Mac a revelation in the forward line.

A few simple rules for the backline to follow:

- 2 up 1 down for marking contests

- boundary throwins one person stay goal side to stop the easy roved goal

- Salem to kick in, never a MacD or Frost

for starters

Or Bernie!
