From what I have seen this year mr. Leg I would play Kentfield before Jefferson. He lóoks like he has intent. I never get that feeling with Jefferson. Jefferson is in his 3rd year and has played a handfull of good VFL level games. Time is up for me. There is however something amiss at the MFC. I smell discontent. Petracca looks like he wants to be elsewhere. Clarrie is playing to half his ability. What's happened to JVR. He is consistently playing below his first year. Of course it does help that he barely plays 50 of games as a kpf. He have a part time chief and a new one who doesn't start till the season is over. Add a future president who it appears was talked into taking the job Inspite of him having moved into retirement.

I think dominated is a bit high pf. He had a few good games. In his 3rd year he shows nothing at senior level.

Correct, I thought at the time it looked too early. Tmac was playing well at the time.

We are talking short term if we want to wins any games for the rest of 2025 we need Tmac.

Jefferson will never be ready. Struggles most weeks at Casey. Why do we keep playing Lever over Tmac?

Please don't say there is no one else by why do we play the last 4 they are not senior talents. Fritz was but a shadow now.

The seniors are no better 1 goal 6 at present

I watched part of the pies game last night. The problem is not the coach. Carlton like us are delusional about the quality of their list. They simply don't enough good players.

An excellent question WJ.

If you say so LDC.

You are not alone bb.

Hmm now you have started a thought pattern that has not happened in some time NC.

But the simple fact is we didn't win. And have played like a 14th placed team ever since. The ladder position says it all. Are we forgetting we lost the first 6 games. The results over the season show us in 14th. That us a rightful position.

So we rinse and repeat 2024 and 2025 Macca that is the most depressing thing I have heard this year. I think I will go back to bed and pull the Donna over my head. Come and get me when the nightmare is over.

70% if only it was that high. I would be happy. In his last game he only spent 67% of the game on the ground. He would have struggled to spend 50% playing as a forward. He shows promise but this ruck role is killing his development. If I was him I would be telling my agent to find me a new home. We are killing him. Play him as a KPF if not let him go to a new home because the current stragedy is not working. So far this year the only team we have beaten in that block is the Eagles. North best us by 9 goals. The Saints besat us easily a couple of weeks ago. I am far from confident we will any of those games.

Excuse my ignorance but I thought he is only contracted for next year. Is that incorrect?

Macca only a miracle will get us more than 2 more wins this year Which will leave us in a similar spot to last year. On that basis we have shown no improvement during season 2025. If not sooner than years end the media will be baying for blood. Now you should not run your club club because of the media but imo they will be correct in suggesting we are going nowhere and change is needed at the top.

JVR might yet be a good KPF if they would let me play the position. He spends more time in the ruck and off the ground than playing as a forward. We are murdering him. Jefferson will never be a KPF at senior level. Some players move forward from there junior days others don't. It's time to change!

See there lies the problem if we are keeping Goodwin only because he has a contract for 2026 then we doomed. As the old saying goes doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is madness. It's time to make the call.

That covers it well BA.

You have my vote SWYL. A decade is a long time for any coach. Change is needed now or 2026 will be more of the same.

Spot on pf. After Mid winter, poor health and after poor sleep I could do with a bit of WT as well.

That covers it SWYL. I don't think fitness is the problem. The coach has now been in charge too long, the players don't believe any longer. It's time for change this week. Otherwise 2026 will be more of the same.

You are a few light, Jefferson, Verall, Sharp, sparrow and Laurie are not AFL level talents. As well there needs to be a lot of change in the FD starting with the coach. He has been with the MFC for approx 10 years for whatever reasons his game plan is no longer revalant and the players seem to have lost the plot. He should be told his time is up and pay him out. We need a new coach and quite a few others. We need to start now or 2026 will go the same way as this year. It's time!

I agree Joe, Jefferson was poor 2 years away! That's never. It's time to move on from him he is not a AFL talent. I have said to play him for a number of games. However there was zero in that game to show him as a needed player.
