    Xerri getting 0 disposals in the last qtr while the game was on the line and only 3 for the second half is why the AA selectors can't choose him. He just doesn't have that match winning capability like Gawn does. Once the ball leaves clearance, he basically has zero influence around the ground.

    Xerri was clearly injured. Watch him walking out of the 3/4 time huddle.

    Don't worry you're not alone as all the commentators missed it too.

    Anyone else having trouble accessing tickets thru the MFC digital app?

    Happened to me last home game against Swans where it makes you link accounts with Ticketmaster then continually says session timed out.

    Don't want to line up tomorrow for my ticket!

    Seems we haven't changed. This is classic Melbourne of the past 2-3 years losing games we are expected to win .

    1.12 in the second half is diabolical. Any finals hope has now all but gone.

    I'm not even upset or surprised.

    I thought we were also comprehensively outnumbered (at least from a noise perspective) at our Anzac Eve home game.

    50,000 was a good crowd number yesterday considering most crowds between the two sides have been high 30’s - low 40’s over the last 10-15 years.

    Agree and I was right in amongst where the majority of our fans were in Olympic Stand. At least 60% Hawks in the crowd I reckon

    Damn shame, played so good for 3 quarters. Missed Petty, Viney and Melksham..no doubt about that. We were a man down with Jefferson, he’s not ready. Langford will be a star.

    I think we win the game if those 3 played. Dominated 3 quarters in every department bar the scoreboard due to horrendous goalkicking and some staggering ineptiude from umpires.

    The Kozzy trip non decision is hard to believe 4 umpires can miss that but just as bad the free against Fritta for pushing CJ when he was clearly pushed into him by Sicily which gets you a suspension if someone gets hurt.

    The 4th quarter was just so predictable.

    Such a devastating loss for the family. I have a boy similar age and I'm not sure I would cope for the rest of my life dealing with such pain.

    Absolutely love that the club continues to support this family, it actually makes me tear up.

    LJ horrendous. He actually hasn't improved since he was with us. If he wants to come back he'll need to take a severe haircut - and that ain't gunna happen.

    It was his second game back from a 4 week injury. He was close to BOG in his 2 games prior to injury and probably ranked 3 or 4th best ruckman at the time.

    With Darcy back out with injury he will be primarily rucking and will start dominating games again.

    I'd take him back with open arms if we can pull it off

    Frittas 2.2 might save him but for a bloke dropped, showing absolutely zero in the VFL to warrant a return other than Melksham injury it was a really poor night from him.

    Zero tackles while the rest of the forwardline are breaking records in F50 tackles.

    Maybe it's not expected of him, but his lack of intent and pressure is really disappointing.

    Yes maybe Kolt in time can be Angus’s replacement. Let’s not rush but a lot of Angus traits. Does the little things is completely team orientated and is a versatile player who kicks on both feet. And he cares so much about the other players and the Club.

    Watched him closely at the ground.

    It won't get picked up on tv but especially when we don't have the ball, the focus and enthusiasm he shows setting up zones and directing others is fantastic to see.

    Agree with all that.

    Thought Bowser played a ripper and T Mac continues to hold together the backline that's consistently missed it's star KPPs. Really hoping we can get McVee back and playing at his usual level sooner rather than later.

    Continue to be impressed by Langford and Lindsay, though I think Winsor hasn't got back to what he is capable of since returning to the side.

    He's a classic winger and I hope when Mcvee returns we play him there.

    Then rotate the other wing with Langdon and X somehow

    Something that was clear to me today at the ground was there was much better assessment of the setup when kicking out. It wasn’t May’s ‘kick it long to Gawn’ over and over. Instead they looked to create, looking for run and overlap at times and other times precision delivery to work it out slowly by our trusted kickers. Bowey is a great playmaker and I hope when May returns he doesn’t bully his way into taking every kick out.

    Agree. We will be better off with May as a target to kick to from those kick outs.

    If anyone's looking to Jefferson (2 games ...) and Fullarton (6 goals over 3 seasons at the Lions) to save us, we're in trouble.

    We desperately needed JVR to step up, Turner to consolidate his position up forward, Johnson to be that niggling 1 - 2 goals a game journeyman forward, even Jefferson to show he's ready for the big time. But so far, none of that has happened.

    I don't know what the answer is as I don't believe that we currently have one. Tom McD or Petty forward? At least they'd make a contest.

    I sure hope not. With no Lever and likely no May this is not the game to muck around with our key backs. Treacy is probably the form key forward in the comp. They have a very good forward line

    why do we assume that goodwin wasn't reaching out to the petracca and has, prior to the last month or so, been rebuffed?

    he's not petracca's family - he's his coach

    the stories around the petracca family's approach to their son's career are plentiful and they sound like they require a lot of special care and attention

    My understanding is that the club reached out to family quite some time ago but they were not open to any discussions. Can't remember where I heard this but it sounds plausible

    no one cares about losing fan favourites, we want to win.

    Clarry- love him but if hes a culture killer then go

    Trac- if the players resent him because hes too much about himself, and causing rifts because he wants it his way, then go

    viney- yes your a legends son but you are the biggest momentum killer out there, time to retire or go

    goodwin- you won us a premiership, thankyou, but your voice is no longer being heard.

    selwyn- mate you are no good, we have gone completely backwards since you took over

    choco- you are part of the goodwin clan, time to move on

    we need a fresh coach with fresh ideas, and his own fleet of assistants. do a proper clean out.

    Good post.

    Yes it's time for Goody to go but we need a complete shake up not just a new coach.

    I was dead against losing Trac or Clarry but something tells me both need to go.

    And whoever else is responsible for overseeing the mess we are in without taking action needs to go with them.

    Problem is I don't think Brad Green or whoever else is steering this ship has the cahunas to make the changes required.

    Not only that, but we lost more matches (%) with the stand-in coaches.

    Sacking a coach sends a club backwards. Fact.

    Bing.. we've been going backwards for 3 years.

    Your support for your club is unwavering but your love is just so blind
