old dee

I will take that memory to the grave gw. They were chanting Collingwood Collingwood. What's the betting that he has no case to answer but a player who name calls gets 4 weeks. I thought the head was a protected area.

He went ok till the last quarter. Max, Kossie and Petracca took the north centres apart in the last quarter.

Today he had 10 minutes in the last quarter. I would have subed him off at 3/4 time. Just not senior standard at present. We were playing North, if you cannot have a reasonable game today when can you.

Today I went to particularly watch 2 players. Lever and Jefferson. Lever played his worst game I have watched since his arrival. Why we have been playing him instead of TMac the last few weeks is dumb founding. If May is back next week we should drop lever and keep Tmac. At Half time I was unimpressed with Jefferson. Time after time he was just not in the play Quite often had his back to the play, looked to be somewhere else. The second half was much better. He all of a sudden looked interested. Could easily have kicked 3 goals. One was a tight one from 40 metres out. He still looks to skinny to me. He was manavoured out of position a few time and edged under the ball. No weight or power to hold his position. Having said all that he deserves a game next week there were others who played worse games. Speaking of worse games I am not sure who was the worse in the backline Turner or Lever. Of the two I concentrated on Lever poor, Jefferson a pass this week.

And considering he is 35, a lot on here wanted him gone 2-3 years ago. He is playing as well now as in any time in his career.

Amen to that

ww the punters don't care. NRL is a different situation. It is primarily NSW vs Qld. All AFL devotees care about is don't get our players injured in these games.

Well tomorrow I head off to the G. Am I confident? no! It feels like the many decades of making up the numbers. I hope we win. The operative word is hope. I struggle to think of a reason why we will win.

More importantly their mums. My granddaughter plays basketball her mother ( my daughter) thank god she is not interested inAFL.

Dull at the next level. Dispense with at contract end.

A full fit Spargo is nothing flash!

And people think the talent pool is not stretched too thin . It will get worse with the addition of Tassie. In the near future there will be 8 sides that have no hope of playing finals from round 1 every season.

It's a pity he is not still with us.

Last week I watched a far bit of the Casey game. Kentfield has what Jefferson doesn’t have Intensity! Players either have it or they don’t. We need to play Kentfield before seasons end. After a poor preseason he has shown improvement through the season. He looks like he wants the ball and he plays get out of way I am coming through.

Sadly I think we already know about our list, it ain’t great after the first 15. Play Jefferson for the next few weeks ? I don’t think you will see much difference. He hasn’t turned out as hoped. Drafting is not an exact science.

Don't we know it!

Carlton miss a point. Lons straight down and goal. That says it all. Cripps must be one of the most over rated players out there tonight.

Just watching the blues and lions. It is like watching the Dees. Poor kicking for goal and numerous players that have skill levels below their lion oponents. It ain't Voss. Cripps misses another.

I would add "grossly" pf.

That explains it way better than I could bb. Thank you.

For the best part of two years. I would add that one of Petracca / Carrie has to go. We need the salary space to get a good KPF. Both are shadows of their 2021 form. That probably means Petracca goes as he has the best trade value. In 2024/ 2025 form Clarrie is worth little. Other clubs would only take him as a gift and we would end up paying a large part of his salary. Fortune favours the brave!

Then why is he being droped every other week.

After todays news I am double downing on this problem.

So where does the blame stop? For better or worse at the coaches door. He has been at the MFC for a decade. The playing list and FD are all his chosen group. It ain't working so who else,s fault is it?

Why BA they beat us by 9 goals a few weeks back what has changed? We are still kicking terribly. With the exception of milkshake we have no forwards of any ability. Petracca looks like he wants to be anywhere but in a red and blue jumper and Clarrie is a shadow of earlier this decade.
