  1. Agree with everyone else, Tomlinson could not have done much more.
  2. I really like JUH as a player and think he will be a star, just don’t think he’s right for us. We would get more benefit from a bigger body who has a bigger presence with pack marking ala McKay, Larkey, Lewis
  3. Jake Melksham might not necessarily understand loading, so don’t dismiss the theory just yet. Majority of AFL players are not sports scientists, in fact most are far from it.
  4. Given the system we play with, I don’t think many players would choose MFC as a destination currently. The type of players we would benefit from (creativity and flair) don’t fit the preferred method of play.
  5. Grundy was in front of him well before he could legally jump, smart coaching from the Swans
  6. I think it’s even simpler than that, take away Gawn’s marking and the rest of his game falters. He needs to be taking marks for his confidence to follow
  7. I think this is the most glaring example of the club/coach/captain’s stubbornness I’ve ever seen. Grundy rendered Gawn almost useless from the very first bounce and we had absolutely nothing up our sleeve to rectify it.
  8. Games like last night, highlight our lack of ruck/forward backup. Conditions probably suited JVR playing as a follower, in the Grundy mould, rather than Max being nullified all night but then we are robbing Peter, as they say. From those who’ve watched, are we likely to get some relief from Fullarton being in the side?
  9. I think it’s more mental, we absolutely dominated the first 10 minutes and had nothing to show for it. If we don’t put scoreboard pressure on we crumble
  10. My main concerns from last night; Grundy absolutely dominated Max, it was like the first contest threw Max out and he never recovered. Ordinary display from the captain to throw his toys in the fashion he did. Structure at stoppages was non existent. We always load up on one side and the opposition just walk it out the opposite one - it happens every bloody time. We have a bunch of small forwards that have no tricks other than being small. The first few contests of the third quarter (I think) had Blakey on Spargo and Rampe on Chandler - Blakey got them going time and time again. I can’t believe Lever gets so much praise for being so pathetic at defending. He’s a liability 1 on 1 and don’t get me started when he has ball in hand. The club keeps telling us culture is great but the players really seem to believe they are better than everyone, they play as if they should win every game and it’s only a matter of time before it clicks. Completely understand there is opposition doing what they can to disrupt us but our intensity and intent was so far off the boil. Could go on forever but those things were the most frustrating bits of a long list
  11. Gee, Grundy torched Max More worryingly, we can’t even handball to a target 5m away and yet the lizard is taking running bounces all over the ground. This team has an incredible ability to suck the life out of me
  12. Not so sure this type of incident has been a ‘football action’ for many years
  13. This is absolutely exhibit A for the ban the bump movement. Only intention was to ‘make him earn it’ in the old fashioned sense. It’s such an antiquated and dangerous attitude. It will never happen but this is as good an example of a 10 week ban as you will see. I think you’ll have many friends on board the bump ban train over the course of this week @binman
  14. I reckon Trac has Danger well covered for footskills as he occasionally can hit a ridiculously good field kick. What’s amazing, is that both are just that good at the things they do well, that it hasn’t impeded their ability to influence games. Trac will be regarded more highly in time because he kicks more goals but both are exceptional players with a major, fundamental flaw
  15. Kolt being noted as one of our best three is a big boost. Seems to be a lot of focus on Windsor (rightfully so) at the moment so this is a timely reminder of his skillset
