This is like a teenager picking on the primary school kid. Collingwood or Hawks supporters would [censored] their pants laughing if they saw this. Let’s become relevant first...

6. Gawn 5. Viney 4. Trac 3. Oliver 2. Hannan 1. Langdon

Be careful of average stats Nev, after Carlton, Jayden Hunt led (or almost led ?) the AFL for average goals at 3.0 per game.

On today’s performance, I’d rather have Harmes in the contest than Oliver. In fact, we played our beat footy in late 18 once Harmes was swung into the guys. having said that, I’ll back Clarry to come good. Not sure about 17 or 18 others though.

Footy is dead to me for 2020. MFC can’t select the right side. Can’t dispose of the footy. Terrible coaching. Low scoring. We’ve had 2 years to correct this rubbish disposal. Only thing that would save the year for me is a new coach.

Thought the umps were fine. If Fritsch could take a chest mark and Kozzie could convert a soda we’d be about level. Cats just took their very few chances. We didn’t.

Hibberd has been turning it over for a few years now. He’s done. And Spargo is no good. Plenty of mates today however.

Important player when fit but (sadly) surely this will be his last year. He's 28 and never on the park. Can't keep holding a spot for a bloke who literally never plays.

Hannan was also walking laps with Greg Stafford. He looked in good spirits.

I was there early and he was walking laps. Didn’t see him doing anything else before I had to leave.

Nev Jetta is still hanging around.

That highlights package is about as good as you could hope for from a young ruck. No idea if he’ll be any good but that’s certainly whet the appetite a bit.

I think his 2018 season is overrated on Demonland. His best game by far was his debut and he has been positively mediocre since with a couple of ok games thrown in every once in a while. No real evidence of second year blues for mine, 2019 is about par. Just a fair way off AFL standard at this stage.

Lyon hasn’t made a finals series since 2015. Goodwin improved has had one down year from three amongst a bunch of mitigating circumstances. He may well be the wrong guy to lead our club but the situations are vastly different.

I like Frost. I’ll take the brain fade (or two) each week for what he actually adds to the side. When we get some continuity from May and Lever, he adds enormous flexibility and some real rebound from our defense. Frost’s mistakes look so much worse because the team is performing so poorly collectively. Fritsch forward is a no-brainer now that we have half a backline again. Hopefully he stays up there with TMac and Weid.

Didn’t they beet Geelong last week?

Hannan is a mile off it

How do we clone ten Salems?

Um, if you’d paused time after the semi last year, that describes us.

We would’ve won this game an hour ago if we could even halve centre clearances. Our centre bounce work has been pathetic.

Lockhart has shown more today than Spargo has shown all year. In fact I think this game is already better than any game Spargo has ever played IMO

I fear a few sarcasm metres may have gone on the blink

Surely by now we recognise that this type of thinking is fools gold. Much better to get our best side on the park and build some momentum and confidence going into next year.

Nailed it part 1. Nailed it part 2.

Frost could be a real asset with Lever and May back. He's the perfect guy to play on second talls or, where required, mediums like DeGoey, Dustin Martin etc. who are too strong/explosive for anyone else in our backline. Despite his occasional brain fades he adds a totally different dimension to our backline and we always look more exposed when he's out of the side.
