whatwhat say what

it's moments like exactly that where i think for all his undoubted qualities trac is not a 'smart' footballer

stringer v2 i know he is playing in a poor team with limited forward opportunities, but i don't think he'd suit us particularly as he shows no ability to roll thru the midfield his teammate, luke davies-uniacke, is a 'pre-agent' this year and may be open to a trade to come to a good side i think he'd cost quite a bit, both from a salary and a trade perspective

i fully expect, given the rest that we've now got ahead of us, that the football dept will back the team that was performing well before the flat game vs bears OUT: salem, billings IN: hunter, pickett

his effort and endeavour was good he'll be fine

6: gawn 5: mcdonald 4: chandler 3: langdon 2: rivers 1: may

he wouldn't be in our first rotation midfield unit and he would be silly to want to come to us if he wants to be a primary mid for mine he lacks defensive running, has little penetration in his kicking, and he's slow it's a pass

our midfield has been way down on clearances and contested football all season thus far need to address that during the bye

Also our fixture is pretty funny now for a bit: - 13 days til Richmond - ⁠10 til cats - ⁠5 til baggers - ⁠10 til meth coke

I know it was only 22 but that feels like the worst loss in five years 3 games in 12 days was a bridge too far It’s a long season

No to both Daniel and Macrae

It all feels old school MFC watching our midfield getting slaughtered, our backline under siege, and our forwards stagnant Worst performance since 2019

sam maclure will be sharpening his pencil

best guesses? Rd 16: vs Brisbane (Gabba) - Saturday night on C7 Rd 17: vs WCE (MCG) - Sunday early on Fox Rd 18: vs Essendon (MCG) - Saturday night on C7 Rd 19: vs Fremantle (OS) - Sunday arvo on C7 Rd 20: vs GWS (MCG) - Sunday arvo on C7 Rd 21: vs Western Bulldogs (Marvel) -Saturday nite on C7 Rd 22: vs Port Adelaide (MCG) - Saturday nite on C7 Rd 23: vs Gold Coast (GC) - Saturday twilight on Fox Rd 24: vs Collingwood (MCG) - Friday night on C7 that's a very repucom-friendly fixture to finish the season

he would be a fantastic replacement for our missing midfielder, gus brayshaw, if we can get him as a free agent too hard to secure him in a trade

casey will be a huge component of our strategy going forward as has been stated before, you need 3-4 full size ovals with four teams (afl, aflw, vfl, vflw) all needing capacity to train etc. during the on- and off-seasons

i reckon sub 40k crowd would be about standard for dees vs bears

private group

plugger is awesome that he and petty are going to be dual premiership players by the end of 2024 as both key forwards and key backs is an extraordinary achievement

yeah toey as us? footscray gw$ baggers gc17 pears cats meth coke? reckon the latter are due a surprise win; tigs SHOULD beat em, but... our game and pear vs flagmantle the clear call outs for game of the round for mine; heard some idjit on 3aw or sen saying that footscray vs peptides is the game of the round cos the loser is in huge trouble...

eh? he's been very good so far this year once he moves back into midfield rotation - likely after bowey is back - he'll win a lot more footy don't look at his fantasy / supercoach scores for his effect on team, and team balance

interesting that yze is relief rucking as quite an undersized option

this is true, but goodwin doesn't play funny buggers - in the presser yesterday he was asked directly about claz and said "he'll play"

first time since sydney game that i feel REALLY toey i want this win badly

they will in the not too distant future intercept defenders who play on the #1 tall forward are, arguably, the most valuable players in the modern game see: harris andrews jacob weitering darcy moore sam taylor steve may would be amongst the highest paid players at their respective clubs; hell, even esava ratugolea is on significant coin at the pear it won't be long til the best paid players in the game are on that sort of $1.5m a year mark

that run and carry and constant 1-2 give-and-get in that video is SO MUCH like caleb windsor to me
