GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
Such a typical way to end the game. Watch Carlton finish it now with a single end to end transition.

Has to. Last second turn to the side with the shoulder to brace for impact. Natural reaction but it is what it is.

GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
That was quite bizarre. Maybe he was complaining because he was slightly more up the field... not sure but it seemed weird.

GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
He looks great... until he doesn't. Gets to position and wins some great ball. Even okay defensively. It is definitely mental for the kid. But the league is brutal. He is literally costing us costing opportunities. It is not good enough.

Are you free next week?

Moir is tonight's Kent Kingsley nominee.

Jefferson has literally cost us about 4 goals. I almost feel sorry for the kid. You have to sub him.

GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
We just don't know how to score against a half decent defense that floods behind the ball. We aren't quick enough and don't have the skills to break through

Sub Jefferson off. JVR forward.

In Jefferson's defense he isn't even worst on ground.

GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
24 turnovers in a quarter is inexcusable.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Carlton
100% of their score came from turnovers. Huge red flag.

GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
Spewing i couldn't make it today. Crowd looks great and it's been quite enjoyable to watch on TV.

Training Ground?
I'm on the job hunt at the moment. Came across an opportunity on SEEK at the club. Location: Cranbourne. Absolutely no offense to anyone that lives out that way. But how can the club seriously compete for talent across all areas of the club if it's seriously trying to tempt people to work there? No public transport access. Horrendous traffic. Not to mention not the prettiest place in the world. Your talent pool is limited to maybe a 10km radius for a place like that. For people that live in Frankston area it might be appealing but even for those in the south East closer to the Bay... getting out there can be a real pain. It's a shame because the job ticked all boxes for me, I'd have loved to apply. I live 8km from the CBD. It would take me 1hr 10 mins to get to Cranbourne... now. At 10:30pm. It's no wonder why it came up in the whole Petracca fiasco last year. It never really clicked for me why it was such a big deal until I saw "Cranbourne" written under a job ad for the Melbourne Football Club. How embarrassing. Sorry again for anyone out that way, no offense but it is a joke.

Norf paying $4.30. Outrageous odds.

GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
That lead by Melksham is Just as I said. Melksham just did exactly what Fritsch doesn't.
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
Fritsch wasn't leading. He was running towards a player with the ball. Melksham would have broken off the Crows defender to create space. Fritsch just runs in a straight line.

GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
That last play there sums up our forward line. JVR has an empty goal square and forward line. Fritsch has a team mate streaming towards him. Three options: Fritsch leads hard to space. JVR kicks to him. Clean shot on goal. Fritsch drags his opponent away or runs off him to create space. JVR even shoots at goal or kicks/handballs to a free Fritsch. JVR backs himself in and has a shot at goal. None of the above happen. Fritsch jogs a lead. JVR does a chip kick 15 meters. Fritsch is spoiled, Crows get it out. This team is actually unwatchable.

Are we watching the same game?

GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
Jefferson and Kolt just don't have it. They both remind me of Jimmy Toumpas.

Always one handball too many. I swear this season is like a slightly better 2019 but nothing more.

NON-MFC: Round 17
McRae has seriously got Collingwood playing like Richmond circa 2018-2020. Just look miles ahead of anyone. Vulnerable yet intimidating at the same time. They definitely have at least 1 more flag in them. Their recruitment particular in the forward line has been sublime. And they got Dan Houston who was being handed to us on a silver platter.

It’s over - if you’re CEO, what’s the fix?
As CEO... I would like to direct this question to my General Manager of Strategy and Head of Football Operations, who will answer your question verbatim with prepared key messages compiled by the Communications team.

Training Ground?
Crown fed the entire South Melbourne precinct with investment. Without it, it might still be a wasteland. Love or hate gambling and the casino, it has transformed our city for the better.

PREGAME: Rd 1 6 vs Gold Coast
I'm okay with giving Jefferson another chance but I get Michael Evans vibes from him. Does well at Casey but then little at AFL level, borderline liability. I am all for giving him 4 weeks but his performance at AFL gets so useless it's hard to justify his placement. Though I suspect he will be given 2-4 weeks.
