Failed coach Buckley has gone down several cogs in my book. Its the worse lot of miserable naysayers I’ve ever seen in my football supporting life. Its not footy classified it’s Funeral classified. I can’t stomach most of them , and only really watch the front bar and a bit of the Sunday footy show these days as anything else is just click bait and unbearable doom and gloom.

Sounds weird but I’d love to see Kozzie and bowey swap positions as something left field, even for a quarter. Every time I see Bowser at training he is slotting them through from all angles , and I’d hate to be a small forward being chased by Koz. Might give him a new lease on life ala Nick Daicos and be more creative.

I thought that was a very good win against a very tight defensive unit. Trac and May were both brilliant and we looked well balanced and I even like Brown and Melksham work. Thought Jordon and sparrow were good too.

6.MAY 5. TRAC 4. SALEM 3. SPARROW 2. VINEY 1. MELKSHAM

I’ve gone from being angry and very disappointed in the last couple of losses to very confident we will win our next block of games. we perform better when our backs are against the wall and I reckon they are champing at the bit to prove the doubters wrong

Plan A in relation to our forward line isn’t working and we have no plan B Injuries to key players as well, as our season slips away, are we on life support and have we wasted another year with this list, and with Gawn now past his best?

Clarry won’t play this week

May forward? Petty Full back Tomlinson as the third tall back Forward line of Pickett May Smith Petracca Van Rooyen Woewodin Viney and Oliver on ball Ben Brown on the bench

Out for 7-8 weeks

I wish the club would understand how much their supporters stress about these sorts of things. Not to give us any sort of update three days out from the incident is pretty poor communication back to those that give up their hard earned for this football club.

Any news on Frittata??

He just has to imagine he is kicking a meatball into a giant plate of pasta situated behind the big sticks!

It’s doing my head in, how for years now we can’t seem to connect with our forward line. Its a piece of the puzzle we can never fix. Its funny because watching Casey and listening to the commentators say that Melbourne has an abundance of key forwards in JVR, Schache, Jefferson, Ben Brown, Fritsch, Smith, McDonald and the two Ruckmen, yet we don’t have a player in the top 10 in the AFL for goal kicking.

It’s the only thing stopping him from being an absolute superstar and legend of the game. He is a very very good player with a serious flaw.

Strangely enough I still think that come the drier conditions at the back end of the season and finals we will hit our straps, but we are making it bloody hard for ourselves to clinch that top 4 berth we need with our wasteful disposal and inaccurate goal kicking. My biggest worry right now is Fritsch long term. Id love to get Woewodin into that side for Harmes and maybe give moniz wakefield a go ahead of Chandler . Roo comes back for Fritsch

From the best ruck division in the AFL to a very underperforming one

It doesn’t matter how much ball you win or how many stats you win, if you butcher the ball up forward you’re going nowhere fast. Fritsch will be a huge loss as he is our only natural forward.

6. Viney 5. Petracca 4. Hunter 3. Lever 2. May 1. Salem

I’m even starting to think about dropping Grundy for Van Rooyen Harmes always try’s to do too much and is not as good as a Jordon or even a more skillful player like Laurie who may even kick it to the forwards properly. ANBs effort goes unquestioned but I believe he has cost us dearly with his disposal in his last two games.

Felt so sorry for viney after he busted a gut and gave his absolute all.

Shame we have such a lame forward line, with that midfield and backline. I’d drop Chandler too He is no where near what he was first half of the year

Woey and Moniz Wakefield very good too

Thanks for reading out my question and giving me some food for thought. Great podcast thanks!

Just wondering if you guys have any ideas as to why we haven’t played Koz in the midfield since he performed so well there in the pre season and round one? I feel he is better suited running onto the ball and into the forward line than having it kicked on top of his head in one on one contests

We waste a helluva lot of ball. If we get better with our skills and be more one touch we would win alot more games. Are we the fumbliest team in the comp or what?
