Half forward flank

Michael Long, gee they have had a few good indigenous players.

King that St Kilda took was obvious.

Yes, and you dont watch us to see a good game of footy skills. That is left for other teams and viewing. If it wasnt for the fact I get attached as soon as I see the red and blue jumpers....

Well said. Thought we shoulda got this bloke when he left Carlton. Players such as Brayshaw get reputation built up on midfield minutes. Coaches would do well to view the midfield as wingers, ruckrovers, centreman and rovers. As a collective, midfield they escape proper scrutiny at times. Viney is a rover but plays like a ruck rover. No wonder we are unbalanced.

Supporters of good teams usually have a keen sense of the ins and outs. With us it is very difficult at present. Here is my take Jackson Sit him down, dont worry about what he did right or wrong too much. Listen to him, hear his take on his game how he saw the pace of it and so on. Then say, well done, you have had a taste. Now go away and we are going to help you build yourself up and learn the game better. So that is him sorted for the year. Weid Sit him down as well, tell him he is being backed for the position. Lead to the ball and we will make sure the small forwards get to your feet isf the balls spills. Mcdonald. Another sit down, man to man. How are you travelling Tom. Something is not right. Now if it is form we will back you but if it is body issues be straight with us. Brown. Not a great debut, full of nerves. He is a better player than Jackson at this stasge so he must come into calculations. Viney/ Brayshaw There is only a spot for one of those two against a lot of opposition.. sooner we acknowlege it the better. Enough for now.

No, he was doing the tv interview

Tell me more about him being an absolute jet. when exactly

Team balance. Get tough and professional Pick either Brayshaw or Viney but not both. Maybe even recruit a rover to the best ruck in the comp.

I do agree on the second point. Mind you it is nothing but Coaching play 101. Gee I do it will Under 12 basketballers. Different sport, same principle.

Mini re build, every club rebuilds every year. If you are talking about the inclusions this week that is a result of many factors but not a rebuild. Prepared to wager Jackson will be dropped so it would be a funny rebuild. A rebuild would have been reading the play last year and realising some favourite sons were at the end of great Melbourne careers.

We do not have a lock for any key forward or back position. Happy to be convinced otherwise but that is how I see it.

Barass taught ever kid on which side to tie their bootlace and a hundred other little things to be a player and a team man.

Your problem is you dont like newish people here having opinions.

Agree. But you cannot change the views of some on here or the idiot football dept.

And more, Gold Coast have more young talent than us, they have a world class training and admin facility, a good coach They have an AFL admin desperate for them to succeed and you dont think they have overtaken us.

Well, gotta say you have no idea. Hogan was a star who made defenders nervous with his talent and allowed McDonald to play second fiddle. If you think Lever is a major improvement on Frost or McDonald, well good for you. Could not care less.

Rubbish, Eagles will not be down for long. Gold Coast have overtaken us and already have a second gamer who is better than any of our players bar, Gawn. No interest in Roos V Giants but Giants are still miles ahead of us.

Someday, someone at the Club will say, enough and make a statement about leadership, respect and how good Clubs operate. Gawn needs to understand it may seem minor but this is screaming, stand up and put the kids in their place.

MFC had more than a year to plan for the loss and replacement of a blue chip ,once in a generation forward in Hogan. And what do we do, quickly rush at a deal for a CHB we play at full back. That play has thrown our goal to goal line completely out of whack and something we are still playing with like deckchairs on the titanic.

Time will tell or are you saying the powers that be will not act even if Goodwin fails.

I understand there was a pick 19 for the following year we gave up. As to pick 10, Lachie OBrien has stats equal to lever over the same period being paid a lot less.

We showed guts rolling the dice with the inclusions and I said pre game I hope we get a block of games into them. Its time a critical eye was put over some of the regulars including their roles. Viney and Brayshaw have been given a golden run of time on the ball, an area where even a moderate football can get possessions. Harmes to the middle, Salem is rover size and maybe Sparrow comes into consideration in the medium turn. Viney, Brayshaw Oliver does not cut it anymore.

Interesting points and propably reflective of the lack of contributors here too, od.

Yes, total lack of respect and acknowlegemet of whos the leader. And there is footage of him looking really bewildered/dismayed in the second half. Not a critcsm but looked like he was either searching for a way to stop the run on or totally dismayed with some players and the situation.

Losing Howe for sure and you add Hogan as well. I know we got May but that is still a long way from a win and I dont think his value is as a deep back taking kick outs. Then you add OMac and one of those two brothers
