You may vomit emoji at me, I think that shows your agenda. To Judge and point to others, that Goody is a poor leader. I expressed what I saw. There was opinion based on that and other things I've seen with Goody. I also believe his strengths include his management of people. So I go against your agenda and you vomit. Wow!

I was sitting above the interchange area during the game. With less than 5 minutes to play, Goody spoke for a while with Woey when he was on the bench. There also appeared plenty of positive emotions towards him. My guess is, Goody gets around to everyone, in his time, and with a natural, authentic, and unforced manner

Perhaps it is the same as the Bronlow stuff, midfielder award, or for a forward who kicks a bag. A role playing backman who negates the most difficult position in footy (small half forward), isn't going to do much for the pundits to get excited by. He has been so consistent and at times eye catching. Great start to his career. I hope Woey plays some great games out of the mid position, and gets a nomination. Not for nomination sake, but for the fact he continues to build his game and stays in the team. I think nominations for rising star, is a good feather in the cap for the drafting committee.

Lately I've seen a few of our players stand up to being or seeing mates being targeted. We have Pett's, and a new one is Sparrow. Tom gets in there and is a protector. Also, thought someone went hard at him, and he got better in the game. Could be one of those players, where Choco slaps him around a bit, to get the adrenaline flowing, then sets him out to collate Zork. I also suspect JVR wouldn't mind being the rescuer, but too early to tell for sure.

I thought they did well in the earlier part of the season, at scoring. I think they can produce that type of process again. Be good to see them at least give an open game, with taking the central corridors, and some centre bounce dominance, for part of the play on Friday.

I think we have a few different styles of play in us now. A maturing, team and coaches, have made that possible to develop and execute. We haven't used a blitz for a while. Given the capacity of Brissy to blitz, I expect that we will open up the game and forward line on at least one stage Friday night. Used eiither to catch them or put it to bed. Just an opinion. Go Dees.

Personally, I'd like all of the MFC arms in the one spot, including the administrators. Easy to split from Casey, let that team be stand alone VFL and VFLW. Teaming up with a Caulfield footy club, if we go for and get the race track. My point was a little bit about being obliged to use Casey fields if contract, lease and licences forced that, especially if more upgrade stages are on the cards.

With more funding going into Casey, it looks like the clubs facilities will remain split between the country side and the city. Walking away from Casey will cause it to become a "white elephant", which wouldn't be appreciated by those funding it, causing a backlash against our club if we ever end up with stand alone AFL, AFLW and VFL facilities, close to the CBD.

Doesn't he move smoothly around the park. Great change of direction, composed, and delivers.

Luckily it didn't effect his game, played well.

I can't remember seeing him either. Maybe because of a quick turnaround (MFC friday night game), they rested him, just in case he is needed. Though wasn't at his best, and I reckon could do with some more time at VFL level. Doing a lot of playing from behind.

Commentators talking about the kids behind the goal. It used to be a regular occurrence at the MCG, city end before the upgrades. A big standing area was a great place for the kids in the 1970's.

I'd like to see Howes play forward. Seems to have a physique similar to Fritsch. His kicking seems ok, has some run, and can take a mark.

Funny kind of quarter. We were dominated by Sandy, who didn't capitalise. Then in the last 10 minutes started getting better forward entries. Many of the MFC listed were in and out of the game. Also, occasionally sloppy with handling and disposals. Interesting that they are playing Chandler as a mid, some of the time. What's happened to Turner, as he is not playing?

Two great set shot goals from Schache, same spot near the boundary 40 meters out on a gusty day. Plenty of tackling pressure from us. Mids winning the clearances.

Tomlinson is out there. Directing the set up. We are peppering the score with plenty of opportunities but only getting points, Chandler, Munro, then Harmes.

Brody needs to stop fumbling as much, ground balls and marks, and Gawns needs to get back to his marking best, supporting the backs, and can improve his tap work.

Another Chandler assist, off some tackling pressure with a pass to an unmanned Schache.

Chandler works a fwd stoppage with handball clearance and assist, via two hands for first goal to Edwards. Sandy reply for their first. Adams appears to have put some size on.

Yes, Grundy is a needed player. Come the finals, the talls get bigger as the games gets to the pointy end. They are still trying out the best way to use Max and Grundy, so need to keep working on it.

Thought we had a few more playing infront this week. Especially in the first half, as we got to the dump or short kick, first. Much better than the last few games, where we were second to the ball. Must have been looked at in their reviews.

Thought Melky was still showing a bit of toe. Loved his speed and some of his forward craft when an open forward area. We seemed to have created that space after stoppages in their forward area and the backs kicking it around and backwards, pulling the game towards them before finding a corridor. Great that we have a few more clubs in the arsenal now. We'll done coaches.

Just started watching the pre-game and match from Ch 7. May and Melky having a laugh together, warms the heart. Also, loved what May was saying about his relationship with Lever entailed.

I was in that area as well. Thought we out numbered them. My view across to the other side, looked like lots of Saints members didn't turn up (empty seats), and our cheer squad definitely made more noise and had bigger numbers than theirs.

Max made a good and needed mark on the wing in the 4th. He didn't seem to be getting back to support the backline as much as he used to. I think he his continual adjusting his game to what the team needs. I reckon his tap work is at its best when Oliver is underneath him, or when Viney is on song.
