I think big Stu might help touk get home, 2 very winnable games in the last 3 rounds and a home game against Geelong

He knew he was back up when he joined took a chance on playing finals instead of consistent AFL game time. Better than vfl standard but he is not breaking into this midfield barring injury

Chance to miss finals altogether now. That would be a old school MFC 2017 ,2020 like choke

Highly doubt it, they took the red eye last night. Would've landed early this morning

Yep brilliant defensive performance by us

Hunt needs to stay in, his dash gives something we have been missing

Can remember any positives, my lasting memory is that he had 2 desks in his office and talked alot about a reality bus.

Kozzie at CHF , anb on the HBF. They are taking the [censored]

Duke of Wellington also good.

Love seeing stuff like this. Hopefully gives all the boys a massive boost and we take that into the rest of the season

I agree. He last played meaningful minutes in the mid in 2019/2020 and was pushed out by our current mid combinations and we won a premiership. In 2019/20 he was part of the see ball get ball bees to the honeypot that exposed us . I've no doubt he can play good minutes as a mid in the AFL but that's not his best position in our team.

Good to see Joel Smith available . He was good for us early this year. Still not sure his best position but is very versatile. At a minimum he is a better sub option than Bedford,thommo and others who have been sub this year

Summed up how I'm feeling about the year

Pretty simple question but keen to hear members responses. We sit second on the ladder with 4 games to go but scanning through most threads it appears alot of the natives are restless. I'd personally say I haven't enjoyed the year as much as the ladder position suggests I should. The first 10 wins the brand of footy never had my excitement levels up . I've not been able to attend as many games as I'd like due to having a young family and us having so many night games. The only game I've really enjoyed was the Brisbane game.i was able to attend and we played a ferocious brand of footy and the crowd was into it . I've sat through 35+ years in the outer through all the good and mostly bad but after reaching the promised land last year, this year is just strange.

Opposition have known what we do and how we do it for a while. Issue isn't that we have been worked out. It is that we can't sustain our game plan for long enough . We started our 2022 pre season at least 6 weeks behind 2021 as we played at least a month longer than the previous year when we didn't make finals. then the required time off for players . I think this is a massive reason for our fade outs and losses.

Big decision and dilemma for the kid. Id suspect he would want to stay at least another couple of years and he is young enough to get a big offer contact in the future. But on the other hand if he stagnates over the next 2 years the offer and money on the table now might no be there in two years time. Tough decision

Collingwood falling over the line against bottom 6 teams again. Good on em they won't win a final

Dogs played better than us in the second half. Dogs also kissed on the D by the umps. Every 50/50 went against us but given to them . May brain fart kick across goal and kozzie miss cost us. Still annoys me ugle Hagen was gifted to the dogs and they changed the rules straight after . We are still second and destiny in our hands . Bulldogs played their grand final and as good as they can. Us still room to improve not slitting my wrists yet.

Oh well game over. They played better than us in the 2nd half . Kissed on the d by the umps. Annoys me jamara was gifted to the dogs

Just ridiculous

Htb against Jackson , another joke.

Max square in the back play on. Spargo great tackle play on

Can't hold your ground apparently. Rubbish against anb
