Kick_It_To_Pickett

FFS..Laurie…if this bloke has another sub 10 disposal game and more clangers, I am done. It’s a nonsensical decision. The same pattern repeats…he can’t cut it at AFL level, goes back to VFL, has a blinder and is straight back in. It’s time to produce

Petty.. it’s a make or break night for him to be honest. If it ain’t working, May have to swing TMac forward and Petty back

Has anyone else heard a rumour that Kozi won’t play on weds? Wife just had a baby..I’m I late to the party on this…haven’t had time to read through pages

He literally was cleared because of his ‘good character’. He was allowed to bring Eddie Bettes and Indigenous elder to vouch for him. This is extraordinary. The rule of law is dead.

Bailey Laurie AFL statistics: Disposals: 2023 4,4,14,9,5 2024 8 the bloke has been a sub a lot, I get that, but no matter how you look at it, he is an underwhelming AFL prospect. He consistently plays well at VFL level, but cannot make the step-up to AFL standard. In the Sydney game, his poor disposals cost us dearly. You cannot get away with mistakes at AFL level that might be covered at VFL level. Turnovers are crucified at the top level. He had 5 possessions in the QF against Collingwood. We basically played a man short, pardon the pun, in that match. He can continue to build his form at VFL level. He is not required in the seniors at this stage. Great that he is laying tackles…but I am yet to see the same against AFL bodies. His tackle stats at AFL level: 2023 1,0,1,2,2 2024 1 I’m sorry, it’s a hard no from me. Much prefer the experience of Hunter, or to blood young Pup Brown

Pretty sure they’ve said he won’t miss any football, provided all goes to plan

Can you post a link to where that has been mentioned

It’s the dropping of marks that is a worry. He has very hard hands at the moment. Gets to the right spot but can’t clunk them. If we could get Petty’s marking with Roo’s kicking we’d have a decent forward

Transition defending is one thing, allowing a ball to waltz in from a kick in and be systematically chipped all the way to the oppo half forward is another. That’s not transition. We were setup.

I had a bad feeling all week about this match, knowing we had a lot of guys sore and banged up. what I cannot stomach Is Goodwin’s inability to change the tactics in-game again. We allowed far too much uncontested ball. Their ability to simply pick their way uncontested from their backline to ultimately hitting up a leading forward was really concerning.

Social media is vile. However, some of the stuff SEN ran on its talkback was just as bad. Andy Maher was loving it.

I presume it’s Kozzy who had been the target of online racial abuse as a result of this too. The media riled up the opposition supporters. See the statement on club website

Spargo was there…was in the navy jumper, not the red like the main group

Seemed to be quite a light session. Wouldn’t rule out those not completing a full session. spoke to Maysie, he admitted his body was fairly sore. Incredible that he is playing through that much pain. a kid asked Oliver if he was playing this week. He was taken aback by it. As if he had no idea why he’d be asked the question. So, I assume we can lock him in. one whack for the Club though - there was a designated 10 + year members area. It wouldn’t have been in a worse spot. On a slope with little vantage at all. At the end, when plyers came to sign, Max didn’t even make his way over to that area. Given that it was described as an exclusive area for our loyalist members, it seemed that MFC staff had no coordination of what was going on. WCW, the snags were beautifully cooked.

Wait til you read Carros article in today’s Age. It seems us winning isn’t suiting the media’s death ride hopes for our season. Despite two magnificent road wins being celebrated, the media have focused on Kozzy and his light bump, Goodwin describing it as light, slandering Oliver further and how we are experiencing on and off field drama
