They're BOG on the scoreboard, the umps.

You'll Never Walk Alone...

Love it mate. Me too.

Sharp might have pace, which is handy, but Spargo has ball use, and with the new method, if you can't chain, you can't score. Haven't seen enough of Culley to comment on him.

There is a family that have sat there in the front row for years, and they never say anything stupid. They were there with us when we were pathetic between 2007-2013, and were there every week like us. So as I prefaced this original little rant, @La Dee-vina Comedia , most MCC supporters are nuffies. Not all.

Haha, I've been a full member since I was 16. So no, incorrect.

I usually sit near the Criclet Victoria box. I heard some nuffy using the first refrain last week.

Easily the worst thing about sitting in the MCC is the lack of feel for the modern game by so many. "Just kick it" is a regular refrain, as is "terrible kick, number ten". "His name is Turner, you nuffy" is my response.

2017-2018 was definitely small ball style.

100%.

Sounds like a modern JT pick.

I want any dangerous small forward. Prasad has traits we'd be after.

You right there, picket?

The small forward I want at the end of this year might come to us at the end of 26.

What's he like in the contest? I'm really hoping he'll slot straight into the opposite wing to Langdon and release Lindsay and Windsor to permanent half back and midfield.

I hadn't really factored in Jack's own score involvements, which equalled Serong's, and Jack also had one more direct goal assist (2). So I think I might have underrated Jack's game.🤦

Flood the zone with excrement, hey?

Why would Morris or Trac's camp push this as it could so easily be shown to be BS? Pretty dumb.

Yep, I've always liked this model mate. I'm happy to play two talls as well, but I really don't like the three tall forwards. It places too much forward pressure on too few, and encourages long bombing to talls that draw the ball. I'd rather play two talls and have one as a genuine second ruck who can hit the scoreboard (JVR hopefully), much like Collingwood with Cox in 2023.

You'd have him play forward too though, right? Would you play an extra tall forward or just the single tall? The single tall could work (as below). If you move the ball quickly enough, it may well work to structure your forwardline like so: Spargo Fritta Chandler Kozzy Petty Trac Campbell resting forward or on the bench. So there's enough forward pressure with Spargo, Kozzy, Trac and Chandler. It puts the onus on our mids and half backs to ensure they don't long bomb. I'd also try and isolate Petty, Kozzy and Trac one out as often as possible.

I hope we don't make too many changes. We want consistency when you win like we did the other day.

Sure, but inside 20 he's not AFL standard.

Wasn't a great stopping game IMV. You want to keep them under 20 possessions and sub 5 score involvements I reckon. Anyway, it was a better performance from Jack and something to build on. More to do with his better ball use than anything else IMO.

I've heard he's unpopular and yet he's in the leadership group...

King of the flipflop is fine with Trac now.
