This is the most ludicrous system ever invented. I've never seen such confusion and frustration. Such a load of crap.

Glad it worked out better this time!

We weren't just kicking to the pocket from just outside 50, we were literally trying to bang it in there from the wing which almost rendered our half forward play non-existent. I get getting it in there and figuring the rest out later but you know when I want that attitude? I want that attitude when we are about to exit the centre square and go for one too many handballs on cough it up when the clearance should have been ours. I just want to see us vary our ball movement and forward 50 entries. I don't remember too many games we've won this year when the majority of kicks into the 50 were the same predictable bombs every time. If I had time I would go through every forward 50 kick on Fri night that was 40 metres + and see how many a)goals came out of it and b) how many stoppages were created. I’m not going to call it a stupid gameplan because it clearly isn’t and if these levels are reasonable then it is more a case of or our forward structure and pressure but is that enough? Will it kick us a winning score? If we are going to persist with it I’d love to see a lot more low and hard kicks in there, keep it low and unpredictable. If it goes out of bounds then brilliant. We need to do more to catch opposition backs off guard.

Bowing out, might look later. Good luck all

I'd get better satisfaction banging my head against a brick wall..

Same here, 20 mins. This is pathetic.

Just seems like a real scumbag thing to do. Stealing coins from a donation tin wouldn't be much worse. As someone not in the know I'd like to think all clubs support their cheer squads. Of course though the level of support would not be equal depending on who is running things.

Better clear the cookies.

This is just as bad if not worse.

It would be nice if the small forwards we had got front and square occasionally.

Been booted now and waiting to get back in. That tears it, I'll take a look at the MFC members allocations but most likely MCC walk up.

The best I could get on Level 4 was HH.

The best I can get is also back of level 1, can't even access level 2. This is trumped up garbage.

This is absolute crap yet again.

Really fancied the Dogs against the Pies much more than Freo. Will give them a go but gee wiz.

That's pretty low.

Look I'll level with you, I'm feeling pretty much the same. After going to every single home game this year I've suddenly felt flat as a tack. Mate who I usually go with is bowing out this week and I sure as hell can't be bothered with that stupid ticketing system. But I know I have to snap out of it somewhat, It's a game of footy with Melbourne in it. Come Fri I've gotta be at my best.

Big ask beating a team 3 teams in a season, apparently impossible unless the other side is flu-ridden on the 3rd attempt.

I just want to see our fans this Friday arrive already gee'd up

I went into this game thinking the goals from turnovers was going to be crucial and we needed to fare well in that stat. This time round we got not only beaten in it but completely rinsed.

You may well be correct.

Please rest Trac this week.

It's great locking the ball in the 50. Helps a lot, but we need to be able to score as well.

This time last year the feeling was that there were no real weaknesses in this team with almost everyone in career best form and the bottom 6 players better than anyone else's bottom 6. This isn't the case now, there is always a feeling that we are 1 or 2 players short of something great. It happens, these things are hard to win and it takes everything you've got and a bit more to win them. This year we have been a great side that has simply not shown it enough and I don't know whether that is application, coaching or fitness but it is a fact. It's one week at a time for me now, win this week and live to fight another day. Thinking beyond that is just too much.

Agree, replenish the small stocks. Richmond got to a point where they were pumping them out on a conveyor belt. It can't hurt to have more pushing for selection.
