Roost it far

It's really sad that it's come to this. They run so hard both ways and just get the ball forward with handballs and kicks that aren't always perfect but they are just always about in numbers. Hope to hell they fall over at some point.

Neeld?

We’ve had one high in 57 years!

We need some Collingwood people at the club

If we finish second bottom and the Pies win the flag I’m giving up.

So McVee is playing at Casey yet Tholstrup is playing one’s. I’d play them both.

This doesn’t make sense nor does dropping him against Fremantle

Highly likely it’s going to be ugly. The best we can hope for is we flood back and stop them scoring

It’s not always about who replaces them. Viney doesn’t warrant a game atm, that’s the statement I’d make. Give Culley a run.

We’re going to get fair dinkum belted. How did the coaches manage to kill this team?

Chris Scott has one of the most, if not the most, professional organisation at his back. Look what Goodwin has. It’s been the bane of Melbourne coaches since the 60’s. We remained amateurs and it’s showing again.

I’d love Davis at the club but think he’s pretty settled in Sydney

Apparently Nigel Lappin is also good but Leppitsch is the one we want as assistant.

Sure but I think JVR, Jefferson, Turner and AJ are all ahead of him. I would however give Fritsch, Viney, Sharp and Henderson a spell.

Pretty sure we just have a laugh and kick a soccer ball around 🤪🤪

I’m sorry to say people, Fullarton is not the answer. Turner, Jefferson and JVR should all be playing ahead of him unless he actually bangs the door down. A polite knock from a guy who is still a step below AFL won’t get him a game and nor it should. Not selecting him yet is selection integrity.

I'm going to presume May is out. I think we've got to play Petty on Treacy and Adams on Amiss, we may even need to play Turner back. Forward, JVR needs help and currently that's Jefferson, Fullarton or AJ. I'd go with 2 of them to help JVR, I don't actually care which 2 as long as they bring effort and intensity at the ball and the ball carrier. McVee and Tholstrup have to come in as they are better than the alternatives. OUT: May, Henderson, Sharp, Viney, Sparrow IN: Turner, AJ, Jefferson, McVee, Tholstrup Clearly there's not a chance we will make this many changes so I'd suggest Viney and Sparrow stay in and Tholstrup and Jefferson/AJ stay out. Personally I'd play Tholstrup ahead of both Viney and Sparrow atm. This game could get very ugly. if we play like we did against the Bombers it'll be 80 points plus and the pressure on the club and Goodwin will grow. If by a miracle we win I'll party like it's 1987, in all honesty I can't see us getting within 10 goals but I'll be heading in with a glimmer of hope attached.

Also won’t happen as it will give us less chance to get within 60 points

If we had a Robbie Flower running around so we at least have a reason to go to the football, I guess that would be exciting. As each day passes it’s starting to feel more and more like we’re back down here for awhile.

The problem is 2fold though. Sure we need to bring some serious effort but if our forward entries are more of the same Freo will have a field day from the back half.

It’s irrelevant what North did, we should have held the line. He was contracted anyway.

I just got my 15 year old daughter to love the footy. We’re going on Saturday so we better see some decent effort.

Jeez I dislike being ordinary so soon after climbing to the top. For mine it’s an indictment on the whole club and everyone in it. We simply shouldn’t be where we are. Fremantle will very likely belt us on our home turf with 15-16 Premiership players and several high draft picks. That’s simply embarrassing.

Can we take him as a father son this year?

Getting the mids to look laterally and the forwards to lead at the carrier really shouldn’t be that hard.
