Free kicks 18-5 now. This is getting beyond ridiculous.

HEY COACHES! MAN UP CALEB DANIEL!

Salem and Langdon were in All Australian form for the first 10 weeks or so. Since Salem missed sore and Langdon missed through concussion, both have dropped right off. Salem was ranked 10th best player in the league before missing. He’s not in the top 60 since.

14-4 free kick count at half time. The club absolute needs to send a please explain the the AFL about the lack of free kicks paid for incorrect disposal/throwing.

Time to start injuring them to compensate for the unfair umpiring.

Game over. Umpiring is a [censored] disgrace, but we missed our opportunities. We desperately need to improve our goal kicking accuracy. We never kick more goals than points and it’s directly costing us games now.

Could someone [censored] man up Caleb Daniel?!!

Dominated the quarter and are now further behind. Game over.

Umpiring pathetic inconsistent trash. Dogs get a free ride.

Dogs half backs controlling the game. Pushing up and thrusting it back inside their 50. Spargo and Pickett need to lock them down if we’re any chance tonight.

Has good endurance and pace, but reason he slid out of the first round was poor skills. We were interested but obviously went for others and looks like we made the right call.

Yep let’s put the the torch on Bailey Fritsch for random acts of contact in a physical contact sport. Don’t worry about Tony Greene literally karate kicking people in the face or ducking to cheat. He’s got mental health issues, so better go target someone else eh. Don’t worry about Mumford intentionally belting blokes and ignoring the game around him. He’s a bit of a larrikin so he gets a free pass. You [censored] Derrrrm.

Can’t blame the umpires here. Hawks are hungrier than us. Winning contested possession. Winning the tackle count. They’re working harder and deserve to be in front. We should win still, but what a [censored] performance this has been. Coaches need to work out how to motivate the players. The mental fragility still exists.

They’re working harder and they’re hungrier. We should come out breathing fire this quarter and instead were barely giving a yell. They’ve won the quarter on the scoreboard and they’re leading the tackle count 24-9. WAKE UP YOU LAZY [censored]

This is pathetic. This effort is [censored] pathetic. Players should forfeit their match payments tonight regardless of the result.

Lazy and poorly structured. Why does this keep happening against the ****test teams?!

Jeez this is hard to watch. This is a [censored] team with a huge injury list and nothing to play for. Anything less than a 60 point win is a failure tonight, and yet we’re barely ahead now. Wake up you lazy buggers. You can’t just rock up and win. You actually have to work to get the result.

Viney needs to be focused on a defensive role. He’s seriously struggling with ball in hand. He either takes once tackler and loses or misses his kicks. Limited player. Trac and Spargo very good that quarter. Cmon Dees, let’s get a percentage boost!

Port scrape a win against another bottom eight side. Would love to play them again come finals time!

Given their injuries, anything less than a 60 point win should be considered a failure tomorrow.

Brilliant. Rule changes working wonders for us ? Meanwhile other clubs benefits with multiple first round picks for bugger all cost. Such a broken system and frustrating that it starts getting corrected right when we’d finally benefit!

And there goes our percentage buffer. Geelong now ahead of us on percentage. Thanks Freo!

Fire up Freo. We need to hold out percentage buffer over Geelong to ensure top 2 finish!

I was born in the mid 80s and was fortunate that my father had close connections to the MFC during my childhood, especially the 90s. I used to get into the change rooms after matches as a kid and meet all the players. I had an autograph book and got the entire 1994 teams signatures EXCEPT Gary Lyon. He was always a grumpy [censored], win or lose. He used to live around the corner from me and I saw him at the 7-11 a few times, was always grumpy and would never thank people for holding door open etc. Jim Stynes was the opposite, always friendly and would handball with me and I vividly remember him putting me up on his shoulders. He was a wonderful man and I was so sad when he passed after his battle with cancer. Unfortunately dad doesn’t have many close ties at the MFC anymore, so I haven’t been into the rooms for years. Being able to experience that as a child though made me diehard MFC for life and I convert all those around me!

Decent without being lighting. His strengths are elite kicking, decision making and composure. As an established player, he’s most similar to Caleb Daniel and the clubs developing him in a similar half back rebounding role. At underage level he was a half forward/wing/midfielder. He’s definitely versatile and we’ll love his kicking skills in future if he’s paired up with Salem off halfback!
