Agree, Viney needs to realise that he has other weapons than straight ahead and Trac should use his size to move players out of the way, doesn’t have to be aggressive, just smart and realise his size vs theirs.

Yeah he will when required but in a 50/50 option he will try and grab and evade where as Viney would grab and barrel through. If he did he would probably get suspended often for executing it poorly.

Petracca’s size is never going to be used that way, he is too much a basketballer where it’s evasion not collision. If he was the build of Pendlebury we wouldn’t be saying this, but he isn’t but he has the same physical aggression as Pendles, will go the ball but crashing people ain’t his go.

I grew up playing with Bish and what he did at local and rep footy was insane. Good solid player, was shattered when he left.

Out: win In: Loss ? ?

Was interesting to see May barking at the players in the back 50 and setting them up from all standing bunched together. Just need to focus on the younger players and hope like hell they learn to settle and calmly hit their target.

Well done Jones. Nice leadership idiot.

They are, working hard on being quiet and waiting for us all to forget and move on.

More just super amused at people’s ability to look past reality and stay positive.

Nah, we don’t practice proper techniques at training, just a bunch of blokes having pot shots at the sticks cos in game it’s so different that it’s not even worth trying. Hence we rule at goal kicking and lesser players like Dunstall who trained goal kicking every session we’re so so poor.

Really glad we didnt coach our players during the “goal kicking” at training this week, it helped heaps!

Why worry about the forwards? The biggest problem is the midfield who over handball, stuff around with it then bomb it in long to anywhere in the f50, anywhere would do.

We are putrid. We handball so much we kill any moment. So many dumb options taken.

And then Viney turns the dumb handball option up a notch.

lol, Clarrie with another dumb handball option when he could have kicked the bloody ball.

Rates as a great stadium with the worst surface in world sport.

? Bout sums them up.

If we kicked straight ourselves and forced scoreboard pressure onto opposition then that also would make a factor to how well they are scoring.

So be the first. We bloody need it, our goal kicking from our actual forwards is putrid.

Of course it has it limits, but you have a sound routine and that fails on game day then you aren’t up to it. Id rather them actually have a goal kicking coach that gives them a sound routine they practice weekly than just throwing the foot at the ball Petracca style and see how it goes on game day.

And golfers have professional help during practice to ensure correct technique, like many sports, just not MFC and their love of 1.8 qtrs

Sure you can, but as the greats have said (Dunstall being a main one) what you practice is what you revert to in game. Otherwise why train anything ever.

You would hope that the leaders got the club together post game and when back at training and made a point of all the misses this year and the fact we have been [censored] and take it upon themselves to actually train their set shots every single bloody session. We have kicked so many more points than goals for the last few years. And it’s cost us multiple games. But I don’t expect anything smart from this club anymore.

Sure the free kicks can matter, but if you kick 1.8 in a qtr when you have the lead, and it has been a trend for years where we kick more points than goals. Easy to blame umps and AFL. Good teams win, good teams don’t regularly give up leads, good teams bury opponents, good teams have leaders who turn games, good teams have coaches who influence games, good teams don’t worry about umps. How many of those boxes have we ticked in the last 5, 10, 15 years... Id rather worry about things we should be changing than what the filth do/get
