Let Trac just focus on becoming the best footballer for our club without the extra weight of captaincy (I also think Max has suffered a little from this too, but apparently I’m in the minority on that). Viney relished in the role of captain and took his game to his best level of footy, but unfortunately he is just way too injury prone. Give it to Lever in a year or 2 and let Max just worry about his body and footy in the latter stages of his career. The poor bugger gets nothing from the umps game after game.

Brown has way more of a presence and attracts several defenders. Weid is lost at sea. Easy swap for mine. We have Jacko as a tall who can also provide ground ball pressure.

Won’t be after the dogs play next week and we have the bye.

If it was our call to play the game at the SCG, it was a very bad call. Ground is way too small for us to open up teams with our run (though we would’ve lost by more today given our lack of effort).

They can have him. Has to be the softest KPF in the league.

Weideman has absolutely no presence as a forward target. Needs to be dropped. Give Brown the rest of the year to see what he can do.

Yep, time for Trac and especially Clarry to take a good look at themselves. Not playing team footy at the moment.

This is on the entire footy department. Playing group too arrogant to even turn up thinking it’ll just happen, coaching group unable to get the guys focussed/refocused during the game.

Never seen him turn the course of a game. Never seen him turn his form around during a game when he is having a mare.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, Gawn is not captain material

Generally it’s not the ones they pay, but the ones they don’t. They are very inconsistent with their decisions.

Ross Lyon is a list destroyer. Picks his favourites and gets the best out of them, but cannot develop any up and coming players to save himself. Would love him to go to the Filth.

5 days until the game is played, so if the filth players’ build it up they will be mentally drained. If they love him so much, why have they played so poorly for him. Should’ve been doing it for him the entire time. No doubt they’ll play more aggressive, we’ll just get them on the counter (it’s how we split open the Lions in the 2nd half). If our boys turn up to play, we bank the 4 points.

Admittedly I am not Goody’s biggest fan, nor will I think him to be the ‘right’ coach until he wins the thing, however, watching TMAC on the footy show yesterday, he said that for all the criticism he has faced over the last 2 years being head coach, he should also therefore equally be receiving the plaudits from the naysayers (including myself) for how the team is travelling this year. I cannot disagree with this. Do I think he deserves a contract extension? Ask me again in 4 months time. If we achieve the ultimate, forget the contract, cos he’d deserve instant immortality. Long ways to go yet though.

Number is the easy part. Has to be Kossies 36

Lockdowns are not the answer, vaccinations are. Unfortunately with the shambolic roll out of the vaccines, we are currently between a rock and a hard place.o

I reckon a majority of Victorians are starting to really struggle with covid fatigue. As a casual I am stood down but still lucky enough to have a job, but this lockdown I have found I am starting to really miss it and its sense of drive and purpose it gives me. Having nothing to do really is quite boring, and for many I fear it will be too much to bare. Lucky enough our Dees are giving us all some much needed hope and inspiration to just keep going. I’d be mightily [censored] if footy is taken away from us in Victoria for much longer (I dread the thought of losing finals to the other states again). Finals in Melbourne spells the beginning of Spring, of hope and re-birth. Why is it that Victoria and those in charge simply have NFI when it comes to handling this virus? Someone coughs and we seem to go back into lockdown. Every other state has done significantly better in managing this thing than us. The bureaucrats are slowly killing this state, bleeding it dry with death by a thousand cuts. And now I hear Dan is primping himself up, coming back to save us all. FMD. Bloody glad the Tiggies ripped the heart out of Dans Druggies. He’s as smug and arrogant as the rest of their supporters. Good riddance to him, his club and this [censored] virus.

I’m firmly of the belief that the loss to the Crows re-focussed our attention in a huge way. Games prior to that and we were just doing what needed to be done and never playing our best football. Sure against the Dogs and Lions we didn’t play at our best the entire game, but we were forced to play our best to win. 1st quarter against WBD and 2nd half against Lions. I think the past 2 weeks has seen a shift from the playing group wanting to believe and hoping, to truly believing we are going somewhere. Long way to go, but we still have a couple of gears to go up to. We are not red-lining like we were during the backend of 2018.

Sams saving grace is that there is no vfl being played atm.

Well us Melburnians can’t do anything else can we. Covid you pr!ck.

Journos asking him if Zorko is in trouble. FMD. What is he going to say? “Oh he’s gone definitely”

@DemonOX No doubt a tough time for you and your family, but hope you got to feel at least some moments of joy and happiness tonight DOX. Your mother will be smiling down on you and your family tonight and forever.

That’d be right. He’ll kick it too
