monoccular

At least three were absolutely no prior opportunity Jaded - you hate this club then why are you on this site?

At least I am supporting OUR players. Having a bad night. Fritsch is off in the rooms. Maybe concussed or ill like lever.

Of course they are trying but are being outplayed. Do any the multitude of the fickle “supporters” here really think they aren’t trying?

Sick

Mids and forwards need to apply pressure

Binman - interested in stats on forward pressure.

Surely it depends a bit on if the fitness guys believe if Ollie has more scope for physical development and endurance - if so he should stay, if not, no. Luker has come from zero preseason and obviously JT saw something. I believe he did a bit of ruck work last weekend. Anyone see how he went?

Would be handy for a year or two, and a major upgrade on the aforementioned duo, so it must depend on (a) his interest in MFC and (b) cost in draft currency.

I am sure we would all love to - the inexactitudes of drafting though has bitten every club at some stage. Morton, $cullduggery, Maric, Strauss etc spring to mind Half a dozen legitimate potentially gun midfielders at the pointy end. There. Corrected. But I do trust JT way more than any of our previous talent seekers (at least since Jim Cardwell) and out traders.

Yes. Why not all who miss out on top 8 play in the prefinals bye week to determine draft choice order. Say 9v10, 11v12 etc with the winners to get the higher picks than those they beat. May not change things very much except 17v18 there would be incentive to win not tank to get #1. And of course the AFL would get some extra $$$$$.

What coaching expertise would ⛏️ 👃☝bring? Hird, Buckley and Voss #1 at least - great players, not so good coaches. I was thinking along similar lines. Still involved with the club through AFLW, and even if not formally a forward coach certainly could continue as a mentor (which I suspect he is already).

A long time servant in our recent 🏆 era. Many thanks. New opportunities for some fresh idea and our next 🏆 era.

And I thought that he was seeking a trade to Marble Bar 🙄

I agree that he was a really weird choice as sub, and this season has confirmed that he was not a half sensible trade in to say the least*, but in that last quarter TMc was quite lame ( not a criticism of Tom by the way) and Schache was as fresh as he ever would be. I believe he can run, so running off the concussed but not subbed (CFC are such a privileged shonky mob) could not have been a worse option. Poor coaching in my inexpert view - akin to the Stan Alves leaving Shannahan one on one on Jarman back last century in a GF that got away. * remind me please of the details of the trade. Who out and who in, what draft numbers etc. Thanks.

OMG. MFCSS kicks in. Kozzie has asked for a trade to Marble Bar. The club is cracking apart.

djr - now Tim Morris Minor will be saying “Judd off to West Coast” leak?? Now my MFCSS has recurred. Hope you meant “unfounded rumours “. Why not use a nickname like “Filthy Luker”? It is Claz who is ginger, along with Bowie.

Interesting that he isn’t being used to help teach our forwards proper leading patterns. Could he, were he interested, make the perfect replacement forward coach for Stafford? Seems very well liked, and respected.

Kolt (and Windsor) have had only one preseason. Imagine what they may be able to achieve after two, or three.

Sadly, NO

Could he just possibly, maybe, the forward / ruck that we have been hoping for forever? Of course all subject to (a) him wanting to come to Melbourne and (b) the bloody AFL not making a one off change to screw us once again. (Mac Andrew would have been an important option for us, though we wouldn't have got JVR I guess ) PS I always wondered, but never saw, if Jeff could have been a CHF for us.

Mmmmm. Maybe

Disco is only 22 and at 194 cm with strength, mobility and ground skills there is certainly lots to look forward to.

Thanks as usual for your hard work in getting out my very favourite podcast. Where has the run, dare and flair been hiding all year. Will this be the new red and blue print for the coming season? And your thoughts on ANB's trade / replacement place. GO DEES

Only if JT can call the trade and not Lamb 🤔

Michael Christian, not the sharpest tool in the shed, will see the jumper and call it a football act.
