TRAINING: Monday 12th May 2025
Comment of the day. Granted they have to watch loads and all but figure out a way to practise f50 connection in a load abiding way. As for flush run or relaxing they have 30 other hours in the week to do this. When you are on the park use the time wisely.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Nope not doing a straight swap. Kozzy is on peanuts compared to LJ. If we are to take on his salary until 2029 then it has to come with this years first round pick. Kozzy is really starting to show what he is capable of. He has another 2-3 years before he hits prime Kozzy. LJ hasnt really improved to the levels we all expected.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
its a bust. It is clear as day. The kid has not shown a glimpse or sparkle of anything. i.e. a strong contested mark, game awareness a tackle. Even in the magoo's he is not busting the doors down like JVR was in his 2nd season. The kid has to fight for an AFL career, best thing for him is to be told it isnt happening this season... it'll take the pressure off and we will see whether he fights for a new contract or just stands idle as his footy career slips him by. Time to focus on a JVR, Turner, Petty combination of forwards. Personally i think we can make it work with those three the moment we start to fix our forward connection and forward craft. Insider Delivery Running / leading patterns structure ahead of the ball / game plan None of the above requires a KPF superstar. Pies dont have one and they are on top; Brissy dont have one and they are top 4, Hawthorn have a 3rd stringger (Chol) and a veteran in GUnston and they make it work. Work on forward craft and forward connection and we will not need one either. PS Hogan if you are reading this, please come back!

CLARRY IS NOT A TAGGER
Who knows what is up with him other than the public MH struggles.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
It is a reportable offence. Iโd be gobsmacked if he wasnโt T least fined for it.

4th Quarter blues
4th quarters have been dog poo. Massive problems and fitness team and program needs to be reviewed EOY. Along with skills program itโs been shizen.

CLARRY IS NOT A TAGGER
I donโt think it would be actually well not the whole year. IF he is not fit. Iโd give 2-3 extra training blocks to improve his fitness for next year. If he is FIT then we are in strife.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Id give JVR a mulligan. Iโd like to see him play 2nd fiddle to Petty. Turner does look good down back too so Iโd rather play him there as the 3rd tall. If JVR not capable then switch him to the backline as third tall and Turner up forward.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Ideally yes. But we have zero spread ahead of the ball. What is the point of having sit on HB winning turnovers where he has nothing to kick to? Bowey and Rivers behind the ball and Windsor on the HFF. Season is kaput so worth a shot.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Although we didnโt cut much in the corridor and when we did it was stop and start. Defensive half turnovers have to move quickly and that requires the whole team to be on the same page and spreading to the right locations. If you have that the final piece is having skills to weave it lol together.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Windsor is wasted off HB. Iโd look to play him as a High Half forward running up and back will give us some speed on shotgun.

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
We have to say something. Itโs beyond a joke now. How many blatant non calls wrong calls.

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
If it hasnโt already been said 100 times. The umpiring is woeful. Worst on recent record (1 week)
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
He wonโt make it. Experiment was over before it even started. What did the recruiters see in him? Itโs not even close. Sorry not to be bashing up our own players but there is absolutely nothing he has done right.

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Sicily is an absolute liability. Have to exploit that matchup
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
You may miss the Kozzie trip but what about Sicily throw? Two obvious AF frees. Umpiring will define the result of this game - already has to a certain extent. Hawks have had two cheapies from frees that were not there.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Isnโt that trip a reportable offence? Should get a week for that. Umpires every week are royally screwing us over. Every week .

Fritta so disappointing. If you canโt kick that why are you in the team?

NON-MFC: Round 09
Soft free. Webster could have killed Walsh there.

What we have lost
Funny you mention this, I just wondered the same thing not 30 minutes ago as I'm watching the preamble to the Spuds game today. Id say he has chosen to move on with life after footy. He was doing an internship with another company in my building before he retired, so no doubt he has likely landed himself a permanent job in his respective field. I do hope we get him in from time to time with the other retired players of the last few years as well.
