I have similar concerns with May. We gave up pick six for a player who may only play for three to five years.

Hore is already a better defender than OMac.

No Lewis. Our defence looked good against West Coast. Don't need him.

Haven't the coaches seen enough of Petracca to see he's not a forward? Or at least play him in the midfield more, maybe forty percent midfield. Also, I don't think he's as fit as he could be. He needs to work really hard over the off season and get super fit.

Well when you play a chaotic game style, your own disposals end up being chaotic as well.

The development of these players has been good, but we still don't do it anywhere near as well as other clubs so we then have to pay a high price for developed players.

Using Adelaide as an example. They develop Lever into one of the best intercept defenders in the competition. He leaves. They develop Doedee as one of the intercept defenders in the competition. He goes down. They develop Keath, who at the moment is one of the best intercept defenders in the competition. This is something we just can't do.

The only guy who can hit targets

Yes, most of our best twenty-two have either been under-done or injured. However I'm still seeing the same problems from last year. Like our inability to hit targets and our insufficiency going forward.

What's happening with Lever? Is he doing a mini preseason?

I love journalists who hide in bushes.

Lets not gloss over this. Fifty thousand members is a great achievement for our club.

When he comes back, will he play back or forward?

I don't know. This helter skelter game style is not going to bring us sustained success,

If think if you're a Melbourne supporter you have to be a Buddhist. It's the only way you can deal with all the suffering.

Is it time to accept that Petracca is not a forward and play in the midfield?

What if we hadn't thought short-term and took Josh Kelly.

Considering the season is over it may not be a bad thing. Gives us an opportunity to try some other defenders.

Hard for Lever to show his value if he gets a twelve month injury

I agree. We need a club-wide review. Need to look at what the assistant coaches are bringing to the table because we have problems on every line.

Last year flattered us. We were terribly inefficient going forward even last year, so we had to generate a stack of inside fifties just to kick a winning score.

You can't say we should of got five free kicks, twenty metres out, because if the first free kick is paid, then the future takes on a different path from that point onwards.

Any team he's in becomes too Buddy-centric

On the news, Preuss looked like he was training with one arm

Totally agree with this.
