[censored] no.

Question for @binman If Petracca is more likely to play more time forward and ANB’s main job is to cover Petracca’s opponent defensively in the middle when he plays in the middle. Surely there is no need for ANB and he is first dropped after his last couple of games..

I reckon Petracca has had about 10+ of these reset recovery sessions since last Friday. He’s giving Walt Disney a run for his money! My gut feel is he’ll run out looking like this tomorrow!

JVR just ran out with a shirt that says “I am debuting in a final and will be the next Dermott Brereton”

Average at best? He’d just kicked 11 goals in 4 games and taken 5 contested marks, was averaging 12-13 disposals a game. IMO he was in good form and building.

Great Pod lads!

I got in on my phone at 1006am. Got 3 in Level 2 almost where my membership seat is. No problems!

I can tell you last week it wasn't any easier trying to get tickets as an MFC Redlegs member.

Im not saying they should bring in Tmac. But we were horribly exposed for the lack of a second key forward. Even if Melksham kicked straight. We constantly win the ball in the middle and snap it out to CHF to only have ANB or Sparrow contest it and with Brayshaw not on the wing now we lack a link up down the line. We need one of Smith or Weid or JVR in to straighten us up. In finals you HAVE to kick down the line and take territory when the pressure is on. You need big fwds to compete and at least half the contest. That IMO is not having Spargo ANB or Sparrow (who played well) trying to wrestle 2 opponents and if we go in and ask Petracca to play 80% fwd we are kidding ourselves.

For the last 2 games. I haven’t watched the replay pf the QF yet, but live we didn’t look to take many risks ( i was level 1 on the wing).

Gotta disagree on that point.

This is exactly how i’m thinking. We need Gawn to channel his inner Garry Lyon and “dee”liver another big captains game like he did in the prelim last year!

Change? We’ve done that all year!

Ill wear @Demonland merch of they give it to me!

Streak up Swan street with nothing but my melbourne socks on.

Purple patch? We monstered 2021.

If thats a solid bump. The game is dead.

Franklin- Tarnished His Reputation

Weak as [censored]. Our bottom 6 players has expanded to 10. We’ll probably beat brisbane. But won’t go any further. Should have blooded JVR when we had the chance. Brayshaw back to the wing.

This season for me reminds me of how Brisbane defended their 2001 Flag. Cats considered to be runaway favourites like Port, will [censored] the bed and we will do what we have to and get the job done against and overrated Pies.

@binman IMO I think the only chance Tmac has of coming back in is if (god forbid) we lose on Friday night and we are exposed for not having a 2nd traditional kew forward. He would come in for a semi final. My question. Who will be the medi-sub on Friday? As we have the entire list to pick from as Casey aren’t playing.
