Dee Viney Intervention

No that would be our next pick Tholstrup. Windsor will help with speed of ball movement, connection and most importantly efficiency between our mids and forwards which has been an issue for years and is a big reason why we have gone out in straight sets in final’s two years on a row. Can also score a goal himself. Also provides a lot of chase down tackles which would indicate a competitive nature. Our team is all inside and not much outside., let alone guys that can hit a target by foot.Glad we have addressed this personally getting in Billings and now Windsor. Welcome to the club Caleb.

Absolutely get where you are coming from. Last year it was “ Demon Spirit” merchandise for finals. This year it was “ Possessed” merchandise. To the Melbourne Football Club, please no more slogans just let your football do the talking. Win finals, especially finals in Melbourne. That will put dollars in the bank account and give us more credibility.

I’ll take the same as Deeoldfart

Aside from a few feet in height not really, they are both poor kicks. But they have their obvious strengths and they have a role to play in the team. I just want them to stick to their strengths and not bite off more than they can chew. Granted Westy turned the ball over against Brisbane but we got beaten up badly in the midfield physically against North and that is why she was back in the team today and shouldn’t have been dropped in the fist place. Personally I would have dropped McNamara who was again ineffective today costing us 2 goals from her turnovers. Dropped chestmark in the second and a turnover kick in the third. McNamara tries but it’s not happening for her and think West has more value to the team than McNamara. Will be an interesting off season for the list management team.

Couldn’t agree more. Massive fan of Mick and what he has done with this group but I think he had a poor finals series. Questionable team selection, apparent change of forward structures. So frustrating to constantly see forwards push so far up the ground with nobody at home.Allowing so many uncontested marks throughout the finals series was inexcusable. Allowing opposition to play spares behind the ball and not counter that cost us as we kept turning the ball over. Not employing a tag on Geelong midfield until Goldy went in there. List needs a bit of a shake up it will be an interesting off season for our AFLW program. I also strongly believe that not playing at Casey today also cost us a win today, I may be on my own on that. I realise for many it is not a popular ground but it is our home ground and the facilities for players are excellent the weather conditions variable but advantage to us. One that got away unfortunately.

Thought West was one of our best today. Just out of wild curiosity do you feel the same way about Max Gawn?

We don’t deal with expectation at all

We will learn a bit about the group today, hoping there are not too many scars from last week. Glad to see Westy back and Purcell starting in the middle. Hoping to see plenty of overlap run and switch kicks to get our running game going. Also really want us to hold our shape a bit more. For me our forwards have been pushing too high up the ground and wingers drifting to the wrong side of the ground. Let’s get back to playing our roles, let the bulls win the ball on the inside and get the ball on the outside and spread. Forwards have got to play in front this week and make any loose players in our forward line accountable. We can’t afford to go into our shells for this game, be brave and take the game on. Think we will have too much firepower for Geelong, as much as today is about getting the win we need to send a message to the rest of the competition but also reinforce to ourselves that we are good enough and can go back to back if we play our brand of football.

Smithy or Duke (It’s been a while since we’ve had a Duke in the side)

Really like your design Gunna’s. In regards to our forwards I just want them to get it between the two big sticks.

Drove past Trevor Barker Oval 10 Minutes ago in medium level traffic and saw Angus, Spargo, Salem, Disco and possibly Howes doing a skills session. Salem shirtless obviously happy with the rig. It was only a brief glimpse but excited people they were training the house down.

A home game against Geelong Whale Oil Beef Hooked Said with an Irish accent.

Bit of a “C” tax going on there Carlton Collingwood You could also throw Richmond in there, I’ve been known to also call them something that starts with the letter “c”

I’d have no problem with Kozzy and Watson in the ones and Chandler and Spargo pushing for spots at Casey. For the sake of 10-15 centimetres we are talking about a player that with that skill set and game sense would arguably be the number 1 pick in this draft.

Ha ha,I hear you. Believe me my youngest would love to have 2 days out of school. Makes it tough for me when you run your own business that means one and a half days off. Was hoping for a Friday night or Saturday/ Sunday game. I’ve seen enough already Dillon Out!!!!!!!

Agree, although not as physical a player as Kozzie I actually think Watson will be a better player, if not certainly more consistent.

Would go along way to solving our forward half issues.

Another [censored] Thursday night match. I was hoping to go away for this one and take my girls to their first interstate trip.

Now folks, that is a highlights package. If someone drafts him before us they will become my second most hated team after Collingwood.

Yes Mick often moves players into the middle eg Tayla and Zanker to get them into the game but also I guess to provide some physicality in there because we were getting smashed. The problem there though is that Campbell and Pearce are not forwards so we are robbing Peter to pay Paul. Hopefully this week we see some changes around that with West back in to provide some contest / clearance work and also start Purcell on the ground. Second week in a row now she has started on the bench. We need to make a statement and get off to a good start.

Don’t entirely disagree with what you have said. But with all due respect we have chosen to play a home final at a ground that is not our home ground. We also have a pretty good winning record out at Casey and if I am the away team I wouldn’t be too disappointed playing at a neutral venue.

6/ Hanks 5/ Hore 4/ Goldy 3/ Purcell 2/ Fitzsimmons 1/ The final siren

The way we played today we could have played anywhere and would have got beaten. Having said that if I am the City of Casey I would be disappointed that after all the investment they have made in a facility for the Melbourne FC especially the AFLW program and they have elected to host a final elsewhere and turn their back on their own home ground.

Any danger we can make the Nth spare behind the ball accountable.

Not that I particularly give a [censored] but Richmond v St. Kilda at Norwood. Would have had that game at Adelaide Oval and moved the Geelong Doggies game to Norwood. Or for [censored] and giggles have the Doggies play at Mt Barker………wherever that is
