Demon Disciple

Oscar still needs to come to terms with the speed of the game at AFL level. He is a little too slow at times, which causes him to panic and rush some things (like a couple of those kicks early in the game). He's still very raw and young (in terms of a KPP), so these things mistakes will happen (Weitering is no saint and he was #1 pick). Like the rest of the team, he played much better in the second half. A good step forward and hopefully it does his confidence the world of good.

The other half just wish they had no idea who TGR is!

Or in this case, a winner

You'd never find Howe in a position where even the slightest amount of physical contact would be coming his way. That's the difference between the 2. That's why i will always have respect for Dunny, and why i will never have any for Howe. He's soft as butter and remains a massive downhill skier.

CHF. Put Pedo at FF

If i was Fasolo, i know where i'd tell Slobbo to go.

Should've told him it beats the heck out of waiting in line at Centrelink for his fortnightly dole check!

JKH continually offers nothing. Nut is very similar to Kent, yethe still finds a way to impact games even when he is having a dirty day, Kent on the other hand would be better off simply sitting in the stands on his bad days.

We still need some more leadership, class and guts & determination in the midfield. Get her in.

TMAC is no good up forward. Put Pedders there, he can help out Max by relieving and Max can rest forward. At least we know that when Max is resting on the bench, Pedo can take most of the duties with TMAC being half decent to help out Pedo.

Why this team refuses to play 4 quarters is beyond me. Do they just expect to turn up and for it to fall our way? Do we expect that we will still work our way back into games when we are behind? (we have been in every game this year) For the sake of your supporters' physical and mental health, how about playing good football right from the get go then continuing to do so for the full 4 quarters Dees? A win's a win, but i reckon i have had my life shortened by 5-10 years this season.

Give him a spell in the 2nd's. Dent his pride so he comes back breathing fire.

"Melbourne's Clayton Oliver has six disposals at 100 per cent efficiency in the last ten minutes to be a key to the Demon's comeback" Done not too much all day, but when needed the kid rises up. Give him a couple more seasons to get his tank 100% and develop his outside game and he'll be the champion mid we have so long been needing

I'm getting sick and tired of us virtually always giving teams decent leads. We have to work our arses off just to get back into the game. How about working hard right from the start? You never know how that may work out. FMD.

Why do we persist with TMAC up forward? It worked once nearly 2 months ago, it hasn't since. Stupid stupid stupid. Our mids have been pathetic, don't want it enough, our backs panic too much and just kick in hope, and our forwards don't even look interested. BTW great idea to take Petracca off the ground straight after he kicked a goal, then to only have him come back on 40 seconds later. At the moment we don't know what to do off-field, just as much as on-field. Vince is finished, Lewis obviously came here to fill up his retirement fund and Salem is very very soft. And can we please for the love of god move Vince to Sidebottom. He isn't doing any good in the back-line and Sidebottom is just cutting us up at will.

41k is still a good effort. If we make finals this year, expect it to be up around 43-44k next year, make finals 2 years in a row, i'm tipping a jump to 47k in 2019.

He can play predominantly forward and give Max a chop out when he needs it (Max could go to the bench or rest up forward). Give Hoges the CHF position. It's the one he should be playing.

There's a good reason why Cam's been able to play as our designated ruck since both Gawn and Spencer have gone down injured. That loss of 10kg's has allowed his endurance to go up a step.

I know he gets a fair bit of the footy, but Jack Steven looks very, ahem, solid..............too. Been in a good paddock has Jack.

Maybe, but possible ins like Hoges and Gawn will help

Tippet's appetite for the contest has been long gone. IMO he seems to only be in it for the money now. Pass

He definitely has the brains for understanding football, always has. In that regard he has always been good. He is just not able to execute it on game days, he has neither the skills nor the intensity required to play the game the way it is played now (this is no slight or negative shot at Col - he has played 141 games at the highest level, and survived what can only be described as the most turbulent period in the entirety of the MFC's existence). Col has gotten the most out of his footballing talent (and then some), but he is simply not up to AFL standard anymore. He's not the only one that is also on our list.

Brayshaw Self sums it up nicely. He has no damaging qualities. They may play different roles, but Balic's outside influence makes Tyson's inside influence look like it's the best in the league. He has had little to no influence in any game he has played. He reminds me of Hayden Crozier in that he is neither a good nor bad player, but rather a nothing player as he has zero influence on a game.

No.

With Col looking more likely to have played his final game of football (and our need for more KPD's), one could read into it that we are somewhat confident that our preferred scenario in whatever it is we are trying to do will play out.
