any chance our mids could kick the ball to our forwards advantage

Clarry showed great desperation. He extracted the ball on a number of occasions yesterday like the Clarry of old. He's definitely on the right track again However, he is not and never will be a good user Compare Trac to Pendles or Sidebottom. He's brilliant at getting his hands on the ball but panics way too easily for an elite footballer. and he's not a good user either Pendlebury is an amazing player. time seems to stand still when he has the ball in his hands.

We couldn’t get the job done. When it was there to be won we fluffed it. Get games into our youngsters for the rest of the year. I want to see Adams, Laurie and jeffo get an extended run of games to see what they are made of

The free kick to Cameron for head high when in fact he took rivers legs from under him. That was a beauty

nearly every post in this thread mentions the umpires

don't be expecting anything from the media they are there to spruik the product and make money, not to hold the AFL to account its the same across the entire media landscape

how has he lost fritsch. he kicked 6 goals under Goody in a grand final

he's more likely to get suspended again

i think the fourth umpire has actually made things worse it actually increased the chances of poor decisions because umpires situated down field are overruling umps closer to the play but the interpretations is where the real bias shows through insufficient intent, HTB and pushes in the back, sometimes given sometimes not. and always seemed to favour the pies today

I really don't know if its the players or the coach If we had McCrae and his coaching ticket would they be able to instil composure and improve our skills execution. I don't know the answer but if the answer is yes, and the brains trust at the MFC think there is a coach out there that can improve us in these departments then the change should be made.

Langford has really tired recently Give him a break Perhaps bring in Laurie for him. We need to find out if he has it or not.

Mate. Who cares

These are the top 2 for mine

Do we praise him for the effort the players showed or criticise him for the players lack of composure the coach is important but its the players that cross the white line and play the game. Goody is not telling them to bomb into our i50 and its not his fault our list have all the composure of bambi on an ice rink

So May and Maxy delivered some forthright feedback to each other. so what seriously. Is everyone that soft nowadays that they can't handle players having a go at each other on the footy field.

its not luck its better skills and execution

Dunstall is not my favourite commentator but he was fair and balanced all day

Our players need to display some composure we handle the ball like its a hot potato and blaze away rather than assess and take better options the boys emptied the tank today. cannot fault the effort. but we are our own worst enemies

Great effort. We brough the heat all day We do a lot right but unfortunately we are not able to get full reward for that effort. Watch smart players like Sidebottom and pendles. Always take the right option and execute. That’s the difference. And AFL. the umpiring is putrid. Not sure why you fat cats get paid when you refuse to sort out a fundamental component of the game. Shame on you

great effort kolt just couldn;t get the distance

no composure from turner and another free to the pies when is a push in the back a free and when is it not. i'm genuinely confused

that was unbelivable skill for sidebottom

bad mistake but we lack composure across the baord i50 delivery is awful. no one can take stock and make thr right choice

Clarry's extraction has been excellent today

kossie magic pay him what he wants. the guy is a genius
