Brown with 2? Anyone have his full stats?

Agree with that. Definitely need some changes

Can someone post a link to Goody presser? Can’t find it on the MFC or AFL app

Great take. Very reminiscent of the Lions game. Our ins next week make us stronger. It’s 1 bloody game. There were 2 points in it at 3/4 time and we were a man down and heaps of rotations short after subbing early. Laurie will never play another senior game for the MFC.

I’ve had numerous contrary reports from others there and the moisture was evident on players jumpers

Pretty sure Alan Richardson said he was available for selection

People need to relax! it’s round 1. This side is far from settled. The NQRs showed why they belong in the VFL - Schache, Laurie, Chandler and Spargo off the pace. secondly, the humid conditions did not suit our game style at all. We fumbled all night. We should adjust in the conditions, but we never do. Over handball. It doesn’t work in wet slippery conditions. Felt like the Essendon game last year. Oliver was literally drenched at the end of the game. Ben Brown, if fit, must come in for Schache.

Laurie is never to be seen again

You won’t win a game with all of Laurie, Spargo, Chandler and a Schache in the side

Laurie fan boys..where are you?

I’m still not sure the source of the love fest here for Laurie. He panics under any sort of pressure and makes poor decisions, often directly leading to turnover. Many examples in the practice match vs Carlton. It’s a real hot potato attitude. Must show something tomorrow if he is to feature in ‘24 regularly. I’m not convinced he is up to it, but the very best of luck to him

Harmes having an impact in junk time

Same old Bruzzy, always the victim. anyone going to post or read the vile stuff about Brayshaw online? Or Collingwood supporters cheering Maynard on for taking him out of the game. You are NOT innocent Maynard. The fact it was paid downfield as a free should end the debate. It was a late hit. Outside the rules.

Tom Morris reported not until the mid season draft. We could elevate a roomie we already have on the list, but believe that is Melksham..so not much use..

Thought a lot about what to post about this today. I could vent my lingering anger about Collingwood and Maynard..but it’s all very futile. This bloke will forever be remembered for his Grand Final heroics, his podcasts, his helmet, his guts, his sportsmanship, his head tilt, that [censored] goal! We love him dearly and this is an untimely end, but one we always knew we might have to deal with. You know what though, he climbed the highest mountain. He took us to the promise land. No thug act disguised as an accident, nor a corrupt league can take that away. I sincerely hope he stays involved at the club and would love to see him as a runner this year, and he should wear the bloody helmet!!

That’s exactly what i was going to type after reading the OP. If Kozzie wishes to play on ball, he has to seriously stop the selfish Hollywood stuff and execute the basics. He wins the ball without any trouble, what comes next actually disadvantages the side and causes turnover. He needs to be composed in that part of the ground and develop spatial awareness. So often he gets himself in the clear but still rushes the disposal.

Kozzie was playing Hollywood football. Twisting, turning, ducking and weaving, and then completely butchering his kicks. He actually became a liability and was extremely selfish. He needs to execute the basics

I am and so I am not going to jump the gun, but the lack of elite foot skills in our group is a major concern. Huge in fact. We can dominate the play, as we did, and other sides just pressure us knowing that we will make mistakes and they can kick easy goals on turnovers. That’s the tale of today.

How do we watch the next three 1/4s? Looks like fox is done

Big prediction, but we look bottom 8. You can focus on who is not out there, but the foot skills are as bad as any side in the league

Laurie is a comedy

Anyone here that still think Laurie is an AFL footballer is out of their minds. He had two goes at it then and coughs up a goal. Been unsighted most of the day and when sighted, made many errors

It’s not even. It’s a match simulation

It’s our second string outfit too. No Brayshaw, Oliver, Salem, Gawn off the whole quarter, petty, B. Brown, Hunter…it’s funny the argument only applies to our opposition

Absolutely
