My god Bowey can tackle for a little fella

Bedford has that burst speed that the senior side lacks. He breaks lines. Creative

I see it has already been asked, but his young Woey out with concussion

Understand your anger, but what is the point of this post? We won the flag last year and broke the drought. Every club studied our game plan. We became the hunted. We finished in 2nd place. Yep, we were out of form second half of the year and we bowed out of finals in a disappointing manner. We still had some good wins along the way. It just wasn’t to be this year. It’s a failure for me too, but I’ll take this over talking about draft picks in July anyway. We must reset and get some players in to fill some gaps. We also need to see some more of the players in the 2s given opportunities. Too many players were rewarded with games when out of form

Don’t use tht phrase. Annoys me no end. What on earth makes winning the premiership last year any different, other.than the disappointment of diehard fans not being able to attend? Finals played in front of crowds. Full length games. I really hate this notion that last year was some sort of undeserved premiership.

I’m too [censored] off to sleep. The only cold comfort I take is that in both both finals were were in it until the end. Yes, we could have won both and were in dominant positions in both, but did not execute well enough. The nucleus of this team is very strong, but we need to improve the fringe.

I’ve been a big fan of Hunt, but his time is up. He lacks the required skill to be anywhere near an elite AFL footballer

Bowey over Salem. Bloke doesn’t miss a target and attacks the ball

It has a beautiful new surface. Just underwent resurfacing. Perfect size. In MFC heartland. Again, no parking. Council that probably wouldn't cooperate. Toorak Park was a better option, but we went away from the idea in pursuit of somewhere in the MCG precinct

They’ve been reading Demonland

Whilst that is true, there is a lot of land behind the oval, daisy. It would be easy to expand the surface. There is green space on all sides. However, you cannot tear down the pavilion, as it is subject to heritage overlay. You’d need to do a deal with the tennis or bowls club. The actual location is perfect, given it is in the middle of Edinburgh Gardens. However, I just can’t see the council agreeing to it. In saying that, if it was to become the home of women’s football, you may get more support. That would be the sell. There are a lot of female community teams in that area. I grew up in North Fitzroy and love the idea of it being there, but can never see it happening, despite it being the last inner city location that ticks almost every box. I also believe that being there would help the club attract a new generation of supporters. We are a boutique club who could build a boutique supporter base of hipster supporters who may not have football teams.

A half-baked McDonald on a wet MCG in a final would be an absolute selection blunder. How can we still be arguing about this. His turning circle would be akin to the titanic, he would struggle to clunk marks and fumble below his knees. Just move on. We missed the opportunity to debut JVR, so we sticks we got

Been mooted by myself and others in the past, apparently Yarra Council would hate it and it has massive community use at the moment that the lefties in the area wouldn’t relinquish to a professional football club. (Nothing against lefties btw)

Not sure where you get your forecast from. Bureau of Meteorology has it down as: Partly cloudy. High (70%) chance of showers, most likely in the afternoon and evening. The chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon and evening. Winds northerly 20 to 30 km/h decreasing to 15 to 20 km/h in the late afternoon then becoming light in the late evening.

The weather shouldn’t be a deciding factor on whether ppl go. I think the club has been lazy in promoting the games this year in general. Just expecting people to show up. It’s a late time slot too, which is a reason for some no shows. I would like to see the club out there encouraging fans to get onboard. The social media posts are just generic, put together by the AFL

I’d be disappointed if we didn’t get 60k there this week

He hurts our structure. He didn’t tackle. He did kick goals from marks. He feel over. We need a 2nd tall in.

When he missed his second set shot, he’d had 4 touches for the game. What were you seeing?

Freo have not shown up

Agree with all this.

Geelong looking like Melbourne of last night. Basic skill errors and unable to execute under pressure. I sure hope it turns

Give it a rest would ya

Yep, that’d make this weekend somewhat more enjoyable

Based on Goodwin’s presser, it sounds like Tracc is a 50/50 for next week. Got a kick in the calf. Goodwin described it as a contusion. Watched him closely at ground level and he was hobbling the whole game. Reckon we might be without him.

Glad to hear someone with a clue comment. The “we just sit there” stereotype is a myth. 2018 was as loud as I can remember. The game style tonight from both sides made for a snore fest. Stark contrast to last night’s Richmond v Bris match.
