OUT: Tomlinson, Baker, Fritsch (if challenge is unsuccessful) IN: Petty, Sparrow, Chandler (see: Fritsch) Brown wasn't great, and will be interesting to see if it was coincidence or structure that netted us 5 goals in 9 minutes once he went off, but we need to give it at least a few weeks given he's a brand new player. Hope it gels, feels a bit awkward atm. Baker's running was good, but did nothing with his disposals. Either turnovers or down the line. Really want the Weid to play, but the combination of Goody's comments re: Petty and just the clunkiness having Brown and Weid in makes me think a smaller player like Chandler could be the go. Jones or Baker can be sub I suppose.

15 disposals - 2 clangers, 4 turnovers. His first couple of kicks were horrible. I thought he was poor in the first half (not on his own of course) but people have eased up on him because we won and he wasn't noticeably bad in the second half.

It solves the problem of bringing in a forward without dropping one I guess? Agree he's not great in the middle, more trying to predict rather than ask for what I want.

Perhaps Brown goes into Melksham's spot and Melksham goes into the middle (at least more often)?

Chandler played the other night so wouldn't think it would be him. Guess would be Jones for Viney, Baker the sub.

Apologies if already mentioned, but apparently Viney might be a late out. (Not confirmed)

100%, seems to still be (bizarrely) underrated in the wider footy world.

Not sure on attendances, but he had 2 stoppage clearances, so must have been in for a few.

Ranked 2nd for score involvements and equal 4th for goal assists for us. Might not be kicking many himself, but he's involved heavily in the scoreboard in a way.

Still disagree though that the match committee would consider Spargo in the bottom 3. Goodwin: "Kozzy gets a few headlines but Spargs, Kozzy, Alex Neal-Bullen, their pressure inside forward 50 has been outstanding,"

Ah ok, apologies then.

Hang on Nash, weren't you saying during the week Spargo should be dropped because he wasn't getting enough disposals? Are we trusting the match committee or not?

Definitely could have improved, but I think playing as a forward who roams high is a bit different to being a full time winger. If it does happen then I guess we'll find out. I'm happy with the combo of TMac, Brown and Jackson as I see Brown as the only one who is more of a one dimensional key forward, so it's a unique mix. It's more what they decide with Weid I think, because if they decided to add him in then TMac would have to be full time on the wing and I'm not sold on that yet.

The running is great, the problem is his field kicking though.

Plz close thread. Then delete it. Then shutdown Demonland. At least til Monday.

Here you go:

So, firstly, looking at the website there's been 13 articles in the past week. That doesn't include some of the video content (All the goals, Footy Show interviews, pre/post match content, highlights etc) "The Talking Points", "Gus & Gawny" and more. Secondly, the website is more of a hosting service than a delivery point. Have a look through the MFC socials, there's multiple posts per day, every day. Websites aren't the main point of call anymore, social is. Thirdly, of course lower budgets & less staff is an excuse (see: reason). There's literally less people and less money to do the same amount of work (or more). Be realistic about it at least, every business is adjusting to that in the current climate. Personally, as someone who works in marketing in a very digital-centric environment, I think MFC have made MASSIVE improvements year on year over the last 4-5 years. This seems a, not only inaccurate, but overly harsh assessment IMO.

Good news an offer is formally on the table. I trust goodwindees, I believe he's mentioned before he's mates with a certain player.

I would have scoffed at this a few days ago, but now, not so much...

No, I just don't get why I'm being tagged and commented on in a thread I had nothing to do with. You may want to go back and see which 'Lord' you were supposed to tag "nimwit".

Not really as it's only a bit of gossip atm! haha

WTF are you even on about? Lost the plot mate.

We might all be in for a bit of a surprise this week I reckon...

I haven't even commented in this thread (until now of course).

He's also very quick to get back up and put another effort in right at the end of the clip too.
