I reckon he is a good chance of winning it coz he just won it.

Thought it didn’t deserve more than two as he has no previous record and didn’t pin both arms. They are just making an example using a low profile player. Its not right, but it’s the way the AFL is , very knee jerk and inconsistent.

Clarry was brilliant tonight. They have to stick with Weed and Jacko up forward as they will just get better and better as they get bigger and stronger. I was very impressed with Jacko.

Showed he was our number one mid tonight. I hope he takes the game on and kicks it more like he did tonight, because he could win a brownlow if he does.

This bloke doesn’t look interested. Zero intensity. I reckon he wants to go to WA with his brothers.

Ok It’s our skills We just keep giving back to the opposition tine after time. Almost comical . its also our skills

Exactly, even Port, who had guys like Amon, Gray and Rozee who run and use the ball well on the outside once the ball is stripped from us on the inside.

Straight swap for Ben Brown

What I am mainly talking about is that he has no counter measures to what’s been going on for a while. Its too easy to beat Melbourne if you limit Gawns influence and put pressure on the mids.

Plan A worked in 2018, but had since been worked out by good opposition

We don’t seem to have a plan B Incase the opposition is getting on top of us like last night against Port. opposition teams since the 2018 Prelim have various plans to beat Melbourne and it’s usually built around Max Gawn. They will try and body him heavily, tag him, shark his tap outs or ring around our inside kids to pressure them and stop them getting it out. Why not try Maxy at full forward with Jacko in the ruck and May at centre half forward and TMac at full back. We need something radical to throw them off and still play to our strengths with Max being a very good Mark one on one Plan C could be Maxy thumping the ball way out of the centre square but have our mids ready for it ready to run to that point centre , left or right. Im just tired of seeing games slip away with opposition tactics as clear as day and always being too late in the last quarter to do anything about it.

Out - TMac, Pickett, Jackson Jones Harmes Brayshaw Omac In - Vandenberg , M.Brown J.Smith,Bennell, ANB , Tomlinson, Rivers

I truly wish I never got into footy as a youngster, I really could’ve done without the misery this club has put me through over the years

Port, StKilda , Brisbane and Bulldogs have gone past us development wise now . Goodwin is destroying this team. He has no plan B

The weird thing is about our forward line that Joel Smith and Mitch Brown led our goal kicking in the pre season games . One hasn’t been played all year and one is a reserve backline player.

It’s a spanking. Season over for mine

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We have recruited mentally weak players who easily fold under pressure.

We are being completely embarrassed. No goals in a half of football???

I hate to say it coz it’s Port but... Just outclassed unfortunately

No good under pressure. Proverbial chooks with their heads cut off.

Lever was terrible then

Viney was brilliant tonight. Not far off it, but had the forwards done their jobs and kicked straight, the points would’ve been ours.

Lions are much cleaner and we have gone back to wasting the ball. They're beating us in the clearances as well which is putting us on the back foot
