Kick_It_To_Pickett

Top post. We cost ourselves despite being the better team. The decision to leave Tom McDonald on should attract heavy criticism. It was completely insane to leave him on the ground.

Goodwin’s greatest ever coaching blunder. I was calling for TMac to be subbed before half time. My mate said they’d see if we copped an injury in the 3rd and then do it. Nup. Not us. Let’s leave the titanic turning in the Yarra out there for a little while longer. Pathetic management

Imagine sitting there, telling us about all the forwards we had lost this year, then thinking about the fact that he played TMAC who is completely gone for the two finals, while Schache sat as an unused sub and Grundy played 2s or not at all. Wow

I need therapy

I’m hearing that Spargo is set for recall. Usually good authority

Absolutely he does. Have had a bit to do with him

Get over guys…I am angered, but we have a game of football to win. MFC, if they are fair dinkum, will channel the aggression on Friday night and win. I’d be happy to win and get a few suspensions, just to make a point. Practice the flying smother bumps this week

Gleeson barracks for Collingwood too

Will Carlton be forced to wear their clash jumper next week? Given we had to wear ours against the Pies

What’s best for business!

What time does the MRO release its findings today?

based on the closing of the loophole after the Cripps incident, they can't.

Protect himself from what? Brayshaw wasn’t contesting a ball, like the Cripps incident. Anyone that thinks Maynard didn’t know exactly what he was doing doesn’t know the character of the bloke. Fact is he turned the shoulder to bump him. He initiated the contact. He elected to leave the ground. It’s careless high impact. He is gone. It’s actually not much different to Kozzy on Smith this year. Initially Pickett jumped to affect the kick and then turns mid air

Listening to Jono Brown and Buckley having a crack at Garry Lyon over whether the Melbourne fans will turn up on Thursday on Fox Footy makes me wanna throw up. What is with these morons. The game is a sellout! Have they any idea? This myth about us having small crowds has been dispelled by stats again this year. Pizz of Bucks and Brown. Then having Lyon bow to there jibes and urge Dees fans to show up, just get stuffed

Genuine question, what games in the wet have we lost this year..the two I recall are GWS and Essendon

No mention of the fact we kicked 18 behinds last time we played them. The margin should have been +6 goals. A lot of excuses from Pies fans on the KB game. Completely ignored we were without 6 premiership players that day

Would rather Bailey Smith, and all his baggage (pardon the pun), than Parish. We would love more leg speed, something he doesn't offer.

Surely not...Collingwood and Carlton isn't a problem for the AFL, so they can get stuffed.

Hahaha. I guess I must be important because I was wearing a suit.

Nice to meet you yesterday WCW! Not sure if you remember, but I said gday to you out on the ground. The banner looked magnificent

Bailey Laurie is a massive DELIST for mine. His fumble there on the forward flank shows limited football ability. Fwiw…this Casey team is plying big ordinary football. No cohesion at all

Wet conditions made our forward like look inept. Scrambley ply in the midfield led to poor entries. Time to right it against hawthorn. Grundy is not the answer. He once again played more ruck minutes and impacted the continuity of Gawn’s game. Good bloke. Good player. Unbalances our side. VFL today will be very interesting. We get a look at Schache and TMac. I would think one of those two has to be included for the finals to cover the absence of Petty. Say what you will about Schache, but at least he can mark and kick straight (mostly). he can play the Petty role, which is when we looked to have our most balanced side.

Even more reason for him to keep running as he had about 20 more metres ahead of him.

Grundy ain’t a forward and the conditions certainly did not help his cause. It’s unbalanced the structure though. It looked off. Rather Schache, who is a versatile, albeit soft, Footballer . We miss the 2nd genuine forward, and just didn’t seem to have much through the midfield tonight. The wet is our nemesis. Completely takes away that intercept marking game.

Honestly…as soon as you mentioned dropping McVee you proved that you have NFI. What a bad take
