Ins: Frawley - Gawn - Jetta Outs: Spencer (susp) - Pederson - Nicho FB: Terlich - Frawley - Dunn HB: Garland - McDonald - Clisby C: Trengove - Sylvia - Toumpas HF: Watts - Dawes - Howe FF: Davey - Gawn - Byrnes R: Fitzpatrick - N.Jones - M.Jones I: Blease - Jetta - Rodan S: Kent

What are his opponent doing though? He may be getting 20 touches (probably 10 of them are turnovers) but how many touches are his opponents getting? We all know Blease has more talent than most of our current mids, but Neeld won't play him until he has worked on his defensive game. Any chance that could be the problem?

Good form by Robbo

Calm down people. Show me any evidence that Watts doesn't want to stay on with us? Show me evidence Frawley doesn't want to stay with us? Gawn? Managers understand the [censored] situation we are in.. and they also understand we will play overs to keep these players if they stake it out to round 22. Until Jack, James or Max makes a statement.. I would relax. Scully was offered the biggest contract in the AFL.. James, Jack and Max won't get half that.

Watts for Daisy?

Trengove - better not great N. Jones - was well held Toumpas - needs more time Dawes - showing his value Frawley - back to best McKenzie - good taggers game Dunn - showing his potential Strauss - talented but limited Garland - his bnf year? Nicholson - needs to lift Sellar - did his job Evans - needed more effort Tapscott - so hard at-it Davey - is he back? Gawn - looks pretty tired Howe - good in patches Jetta - he can play Jamar - an effective ruckman Bail - step backward yesterday M.Jones - was good inside Terlich - really liked him Magner - just a soldier

Toumpas needs the year in the 2s. We need to let him develop as a player before we expose him to the crap that is the MFC. Ins: Watts - Jamar - Blease - Magner - Jetta Outs: Sylvia (susp) - Spencer - Nicho - Kent - Bail FB: Garland - Sellar - Terlich HB: Watts - Frawley - Strauss C: Davey - M.Jones - Blease HF: Evans - Dawes - Howe FF: Tapscott - Gawn - Byrnes R: Jamar - N.Jones - Viney I: McKenzie - Magner - Dunn S: Jetta Frawley - Jack Sellar - Tyrone Garland - McGuane McKenzie - Cotch Dunn - Deledio

Who actually is available now or at the end of the year to replace him? Paul Roos Gary Ayres Bomber Thompson Rocket Eade Brett Ratten Kevin Sheedy Choco Williams Can't think of any other established coaches.

Big Charlie is out for the Suns. Big win for us.. he has been good so far this year

I don't mind this idea. Great user of the footy and is as hard as nails, would rarely get pushed off the ball... For a strong body, he has exceptional foot skills. The only issue would be his tank? Does anyone know how he goes in the 3k time trials?

Ins: Dawes - Blease - Davey Outs: Grimes - Trengove - Nicholson FB: Garland - T.Mac - Terlich HB: Dunn - Frawley - Strauss C: Viney - M.Jones - Evans HF: Byrnes - Howe - Tapscott FF: Davey - Dawes - Gawn R: Spencer - Jones - Sylvia I: Kent - Blease - McKenzie S: Bail

What changes? Nothing. He has a major role in the leadership anyway, they are just conforming to the pressure of the media again. It seems like so many decisions that have happened at the MFC over the past year has been in reaction to the media.

I am normally positive, but this is just more superficial crap from the MFC. Keep the promotion behind close doors and start worrying about winning games. Getting over their spin.

Ins: McKenzie - Strauss Outs: Clark - Jetta FB: Garland - Frawley - Terlich HB: Watts - T-Mac - Strauss C: Trengove - Jones - Viney HF: Howe - Pederson - Evans FF: Davey - Gawn - Byrnes R: Jamar - Sylvia - Grimes I: McKenzie - M.Jones - Bail S: Tapscott Match Ups: T-Mac = J.Brown Frawley = Merrett/Martin McKenzie = Black/Rockliff

Big part of the game plan is drawing the player in to free up a runner. Teams can score quickly from that overlap, and I was seeing glimpses of what Neeld was trying with that. The part the players are yet to grasp is timing their runs to get in the perfect spot for the overlap. Should come with confidence.

One of my favourite threads last year, is there a reason why it hasnt started up again? If so, let me know and we can put a holt to it! Grimes - Plenty of footy Byrnes - Showed his class Evans - Last quarter specialist Trengove - 10 Captain Tackles Jamar - Solid Ruckmans Game M.Jones - Keeps getting better N.Jones - On Field Captain Sylvia - Need 4 Quarters Bail - Tackled and Ran Howe - Clutch and Heroic Garland - Lifted when needed Gawn - He can play Frawley - Did his job Pederson - Was good early Terlich - Hard, tough, talented Watts - Some ok patches McDonald - Not his best Tapscott - Needed more yesterday Jetta - Some ok patches Clark - Not quite himself Davey - Perfect Sub Game Viney - Tried but hurting

Enter 52.376552,5.198303 and find the jetty. Pretty messed up world we live in...

Going to drop verrrrrry sooooonn... Hird to step down? Pitty bomber will do a better job anyway

I don't mind the idea of him behind the ball, or in our case, around the ball constantly.

Ins: Tapscott - Spencer - Bail - Jetta - McKenzie (if fit) / Evans Outs: Sellar - Nicholson - Rodan - Toumpas - Gillies FB: Garland - Frawley - Jetta HB: Watts - T.Mac - Terlich C: Viney - Jones - Trengove HF: Tapscott - Howe - Davey FF: Byrnes - Clark - Pederson R: Jamar - Grimes - M.Jones I: Spencer - McKenzie/Evans - Sylvia S: Bail Match Ups: Jetta - Hill Frawley - Kennedy TMac - Resting Ruck Garland - Darling Outs: Sellar - He is not up to it. Spencer will provide more. Nicholson - Sick of him being the fittest bloke on the club and running the least on game day. Looks tired all the time Rodan - Not up to it at the moment, if ever Toumpas - Not up to it currently, needs to develop in the 2s for a while. I'd say at least 4 or 5 games at Casey. Gillies - He was shocking, work on his defensive positioning in the magoos for a while

Melbourne on the top half of the ladder after round 1. Been a while

Well Neeld said about an hour ago that Dawes didnt get up. Soooo................. this is awkward.

MFCs social media

KB regardless. take your pick

So will be something similar to this: FB: Garland - Gillies - Nicholson HB: Dunn - Frawley - Watts C: M.Jones - N.Jones - Blease HF: Howe - Pederson - Byrnes FF: Davey - Clark - Sellar R: Jamar - Grimes - Sylvia I: Rodan - Viney - McKenzie S: Toumpas E: MacDonald - Tapscott - Jetta Not sure who will get the nod over Jetta or McKenzie
