  1. I liked Hill at the start of the season but he's dropped off pretty dramatically as of late. Langdon might have had a couple of downers but even then he still manages to find the pill. He's been a good get, it's not always about setting the world on fire each week with 20 touches and 2 goals. He plays a role and he plays it very well.

    I fear for his future and don't know if it will last beyond 2 more years tops. Those injuries are very tough to get back from. Great character and one of the good people of football. The world would be a better place if more people had the character of Jack Watts. Always welcome back at MFC once it's all said and done. Should never figure in worst no.1 pick discussions among AFL fans, long long way from that.
  3. We're certainly getting burned in transition a hell of a lot less with him there.
  4. 6. Petracca 5. Oliver 4. Brayshaw 3. Lever 2. Hibberd 1. Weideman Langdon and Jackson unlucky.
  5. Essentially a carbon copy of the Adelaide game, happy to win and happy to get the job done. It was really tough going early and both teams really looked totally cooked but we still had enough run and drive to record the result. Petracca is so full of confidence at the minute to the point where he's almost 'makes' the ball bounce his way. Spinning, evading and doing everything possible to get it to our advantage, couldn't be happier with the way he's turned out. Oliver smashed it again! Seems to have much more confidence with his kicking and the checkside from the pocket, I'd love to see that splitscreen with the goal from the same pocket in 2017 vs Adelaide. Thought Gus easily had his best game for the year, there are going to be players that know what they are and when they are allowed to do what they believe they do best will excel. It was a no brainer to move him to the middle when Viney pulled out and he didn't disappoint. Jackson keeps impressing and Spargo easily had his best game for 2 years. But, and yes it is a but, without totally dismissing these two wins we have a fair way to go. Disposal into the 50 is still not consistent enough and we still burn way too many forward 50 entries. I still have no idea what Tomlinson offers apart from being a big guy who hates physical contact but will still give him more time, what else am I gonna do? Sit on my butt and watch Netflix? Once again, how good is this team exactly? We will see next Saturday on twilight footy, anothering measuring stick, be there or be square.
  6. When was the last time we won twice in one week!
  7. Roll it up and smoke it again
  8. Real nice bit of play, Spargo's kick a beauty
  9. Yeah I agree Spargo is doing nice things
  10. That is fair enough Redleg but gee over the course of the year and even those games we've had some discipline issues.
  11. Great stuff Weideman, massive psychological boost going in to the half.
  12. Umpiring is terrible but something is wrong with us. I'm getting tired of hearing every week how bad the umpiring is we need to look at why this is happening and look within as well. I refuse to believe every umpiring group we have has it in for us.
  13. No head high tackle apparently
  14. Who doesn't like a bit of Kozzie magic!
  15. Getting pantsed at clearances
  16. Would have preferred Bennell to stay in. I know he wasn't flash but consistency in selection might be just what he needs instead of all the chopping and changing.
  17. Well at least it's not just me then! Don't want to make this a self indulgence exercise but after a few hundred bucks of donating it would be nice!
  18. Anyone seen the recognition wall on the page for $50+ donations? There's only 60 names on there! I'll put it down to just not being updated for a while!
