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.

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?

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.

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.

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

The reports I've read are that Dawes has moved well, & has been rested to keep his hammies good.

So I think, being conservative after serious injury, that Clarke will play again @ Casey, after only completing 3/4 qtrs last week.

Remember his injury is career threatening so one more week at Casey may be good caution.

So I think it could be Sellar, with Pederson in the pocket, & Dawes @ CHF.

Either Sellar or Pedro can help Jamar, so its a nice balance.

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

What's your source for this?

MFCs social media

Gillies at FB, surely you jest.. in the game vs the Saints he was a shocker

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
