Club have gone very quiet about this. Hope they are working on something.

Continues the trend of us fielding well below our best side each week, while the opposition field close to their strongest side. Then to rub salt into the wound, the opposition lose their best players against us, making it easier for their next opponents to beat them. Add that to our pathetic skills and you have season 2019.

I put the bad behaviour of fans at AFL matches down to a shortage of bananas at AFL venues. Banana smoothies instead of beer would improve crowd behaviour no end.

That is interesting. The midget Spargo has taken 23 marks to ANB 9 in the same amount of games.

You may laugh at this but I think he will get 1-2 weeks for each incident. Both are a bad look for the game. The stomp could have caused a serious injury and Christian loves that category and the pinching did cause an injury and it was repeated. If Stratton thinks that is acceptable in footy he is a fool.

We have also copped teams at their strongest with us weakened by injuries. Look at Crows, Eagles, Tigers, Saints and Dons sides recently for example.

T Mac will not be dropped, but he should be managed/rested for the rest of the season. We need him fit and firing next season desperately.

Not sure Tim Smith will either. We may look at Petty as a forward and Joel Smith to be back next year.

Basically agree.

Spoke to a former athlete today, whose father was a world champion runner and he agrees with my other mate, that it is most likely a fitness issue. Easily scored goals in the second half of games, together with poor kicking from us, suggests tiring players. Injuries of course also affect the team and then a loss of confidence, that can run through the side, does as well. What I still can't come to grips with, is the total lack of ability to pass a ball accurately by hand or foot and to mark it, even early in games.

No, it is Misson’s fault, he should have wrapped him in glad wrap and kept him isolated and quarantined between training and games. Basic stuff. If he didn’t have glad wrap he could have used bubble wrap or covered him in paper mache. Lets get professional.

You have to wonder at people who are in charge of a game plan that is clearly not working, yet refuse to accept that they might be wrong and continually, merely say we have to get better at it, instead of looking at using another game plan that might be better for us.

Terry Wallace just said what a few of us on DL have said and that is start planning for 2020. Anyone injured should be rested and if operations are needed they should be done now. Get everyone fit and ready to go next year and maybe some tinkering with the game plan. Get more games into the newer players and it will stand the club in good stead next year, with a softer draw as a bonus. Of course you still try and win, but not at the expense of next year.

Agree. All the signs are there that he is being handicapped. Put him out and get it right for next year.

Hilarious. Your name perfectly describes your post.

Win the clearances, contested possession and inside 50's and kick double the points than goals, while the opposition kick double the goals than points. Display the worst disposal skills in the AFL. Welcome to the MFC in most games this year. Something is very wrong at the MFC.

Correct. Hannan today not d grade amateurs standard. Hunt no better.

Would help if they kicked it to him instead of away from him. Said for years we have poor skills while other clubs made it a priority. We have the contested players and we are winning the contested ball and clearances and getting killed because of a total failure in passing the ball. Hilarious.

Totally devoid of skill. Cant kick or handball. Otherwise ok.

I am sure Buckley will be worried at breakfast. Oliver plays or Billy does. He would have planned for both.

PC has gone stark raving mad.

Happy Birthday and hope you get a win monday as a present.

Using the word fl og gets you kicked out of AFL grounds as per saturday.

Of course he is. Goes with the season. We have had a late out the last few games to go with our long list of injuries and always good players. Meanwhile other sides we play have close to their best side in and then the week later lose key players. This week Lynch out for the Crows and Hurn and Yeo for the Eagles.

I think our season is not proving we have a crap team, but rather with multiple injuries and poor kicking we struggle. We have nearly beaten the Crows and Eagles recently with half a team and when they were at full strength. In both games our goal kicking lost us the game. Therefore get most of the good players back and fix up the goal kicking and we are right in it again next season. A couple of more players getting blooded like Baker and Lockhart and with a few more into the club and we are really right in it. I feel better already. Banana smoothie here I come.
