These days it means he has amazing reflexes the way he moves

He is an absolute cat!

I’ve absolutely loved Trac and Melksham up forward the last couple of weeks. Also think Kozzie is so much better running on the ball from higher up the ground than sitting in the forward pocket. The talls still need work though as I don’t think JVR is quite there yet. Brown works hard but can’t take a contested mark We may yet see Grundy back up forward or even TMac if he can get fit. Still have Fritter up our sleeve for finals

How good was Vineys goal when he basically ripped it out if the Lions players hand , did a spin and snapped it! Pure will power and strength. That gave us real belief and everyone grew another leg after that.

I really wanted that win, can’t stand Brisbane. Gawn was awesome and us much better as the main ruck. Good to see Kozzie used on ball and thought he worked back into form tonight. Woeys goal was sensational, but how clutch was Melksham?

I think a fully fit Grundy will be a valuable asset to us either in the finals this year or next year. I don’t believe he has been fully fit all year , hence opposing ruckman getting off the leash in a few games. So we rest him and try something else with JVR as the stakes are starting to get much higher and we need to start to see what out best side looks like. When Clarry comes back it’ll be a luxury to leave Trac up forward and we will really stretch some sides. Hopefully Fritter returns a week or two before finals and we can really do some damage, but we just need to bank a few wins to finish top 4 and give us the best chance to succeed.

Grundy in doubt

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.

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.

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.

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
