If they do decide to install goal line tech at every facility then they should at least go for 60+ frames per second in HD quality. I’m still baffled by how old the tech is. What about an adoption of Hawkeye? That would be some sort of innovation wouldn’t it!

Let’s get it right. We aren’t contending this year. Worst case is he is stuck on 298. Give him a one year contract extension if he wants it. He will most like miss more than he will play but can be more of an off field leader/mentor.

Let’s think about this seriously for a moment. Does this team have what it takes to win the flag this year? Within that lies your answer. Issue is if we have to carry him through until next year. Has he got another pre season left within him? Do we have a spot on our list to hold him for another year? it would be cruel and a huge culture blow if the club stand in his way imo.

Just get jones to 300 then let him retire plz so he doesn’t feature on this topic every week. He is on 294 so we have to play 2 finals. Long shot at that - probably why he was so [censored] last week.

If we want payback, there’s a fair bit to come back our way. Wouldn’t want to settle for just Tracs goal.

It was totally all Richo. Goodwin was trying to be seen doing something on the bench. But every shot on tv he was doing nothing. Compare that with Ratten. Miles apart. Miles..

I agree. Wagner stays and we roll Harmes into the forward line / midfield. Give Kozzy a spell. He has been quite poor lately. Rivers stays. Fritsch in for Hannan. AVB out but for who? Tmac for Brown.

Lock in. Throw away the key. He has shut down every player he has played this year.

So far Brown nothing , bring back Tmac for rest of year enough this n that. Until LJ is back Tmac has the spot. Hannan or Fritsch - not both. Our mids are really really poor today. Nothing from Viney or Oliver. Saints always showed us up in the middle - I think they have had a psychological edge for a few years. i reckon the flood gates will open this quarter we’ve held them at bay for as long as we can endure.

He has been below par. Great to get back but he is not in anyone’s best 22 at this stage. Reckon he’d be lucky to get a contract if lists are cut and he can’t get faster and fitter over the summer. Playing for his career..

Nope. A Fine is only felt on the individual. You want to build a team culture- this sets the standards. I reckon the leadership group probably made the call not the selection committee.

Maybe its Richo's magical formula to beat the Saints? I know I'm a typical Melbourne pessimist but this reeks of desperation. I just cant see us being within 8 goals of this one. #GoodwinsLastStand ?

West Coast are just no good away from home. Makes you think if the prelim in 2018 was played at the MCG.

Daniher to kick 10 goals in Rd 17 and Dons to pip us out of the finals.

The tackles were identical. The difference was that the player In the Dalhaus tackle let go of the ball and used his for free hand to brace himself. Whilst in the ANB tackle the player did not. One got concussed and the other got nothing. So you either penalise the offence or do nothing. To put the fate of ones hands In the outcome when no I’ll intent was involved is appalling. Like most things in footy MFC never seem to catch a break.

Yep he would. Money to be used chasing outside talent. Qn is whether we’d have to pay some of his salary though.

How many were push in the back after the kick?What about Kozzies 50m penalty? There is 3 or 4 right there. Don’t need to watch the replay. The umps didn’t lose us the game today.

When we win the stoppage we don’t exit with poise and composure against good sides. Under pressure we bomb it. When we loose the stoppage, good teams murder us on the outside time and time again. We get sucked in and don’t chase ... doggies are a class act and they showed it but a top 4 side would negate the handball game quite easily with pressure.

I didn’t see much wrong with the umps today. We gave away so many stupid free kicks - they were all there.

Yep I think so. Especially given the salary he is rumoured to be on. We’d have to pay some of his salary though but I’d think it’d only be for one more year. Id be tempted to look at Viney or Brayshaw as well.

No point yet, will wait to see what the AFL do with the cap and playing lists. But to find that cap space will require 1 or 2 big names to depart.

Nope not against the saints. He has zero pressure in his game.

Was his second game mate. Can’t expect him to deliver with the same class as Gawn. The doggies always setup to lose clearance anyway.

Today we lost by 28 points. 2 goals wasted with touched on the mark, Fristch misses one directly in front - kicks out on the full. Then weed puts some might action on the kick making bend like Beckham. Whilst Wallis kicks one from the boundary. Most of the game stats were equal with exception to uncontested disposals. We got beaten on the outside but that was always going to happen. Always. It will happen next week as well as with any team in the top 6. We lack outside width and class - it is a gaping, gaping hole and one that if we don’t fill will never let this team be as successful as it could be. It’s the final missing piece. We need to go after Hunter and/or Williams with every dollar we have. Need to clear the dead weight off our list to free up cap space to find the 1 - 1.2 M required to make that happen. Otherwise we will always be a 12-6 team.

100% we fold under pressure. Watch how the saints absolutely smack us with there pressure.
