Crows very fumbly early. . Walker choking in another final??

I just managed to see Noah Yze's goal clips on you tube. Seven straight - is there any precedent for a rookie draftee becoming a senior goal kicking coach?? 🤔 His set shot kicking is just so smooth (although he does have the habit, so widely pilloried when it is Max or Tracc, of spinning the ball before his final lining up and executing).

Port??

No doubt the possible ambiguity is built in by the AFL to enable them to pick and choose how to adjudicate depending on their agenda.

and, just maybe by VFL accounts, Fullarton as a tall defender. maybe???

And no leaks for now 🤗

Interesting that a KP defender did any ruck work at all, unless I guess his direct opponent did the same. Any observations on Pup Brown or Verrell?

As long as they can sometime get an even number to get rid of the absurd repeated byes which kill player development and return from injury.

Massive call on Bison - but lets hope you are right.

yet how many times has he played up forward since 2021? Me too, but whomever gets the nod there will be a hell of s lot of dissenters here And Hird

Yes, Buckley hasn’t coached for a while but he watches and dissects every game so knows what works and what doesn’t. Throw in his frustration at missing flags both as a player and as a coach he could be just the man.

I done see much hate, but rather an admission that his body no longer does what he (and the club) require from it. We can no longer rely on the Premiership 🏆 combo of May and Lever - both, sadly seem no longer able to do what is needed in today’s fast pressured game. Maybe that are working through the Casey finals ineligible group and just maybe behind the new secure no leak doors the coach in waiting is there???

Maybe the new coach (officially TBA but, wink nod?) has said he would like a couple of very experienced fantastic role models who are still making significant contributions on and off the field to stay and even help him settle in. There is a lot more than coming and gathering all around him - strong leaders are essential. And I do just wonder with Tommy’s staying what that means for May and / or Lever who have been chronically injured that past couple of years. Both have been great contributors but are clearly waning.

One opportunity only, under heavy fire, and far from disgraced. PS no apostrophe eiher

One benefit despite the sadness if a longstanding VFA/VFL club folds is that there could then be an even number of teams thus avoiding the miserable random byes throughout the season, which seriously hampers fringe AFL listed players’ development.

Great to see that smug show pony Ginnivan, and self professed wizard didn’t get over the line. Now for Adelaide to beat Pies and Brisbane to beat Cats 🤞

Thanks guys for another year of analysing our heartbreaks (GW$, PIES x2, DOGS etc) and some days of shame (North, StKilda, Essendon, Visybags in particular). Presuming we will have a season review so here is not the time to discuss delisting and recruiting, so I will stick to this game that we really should have won. Others have also alluded to our inability to defend a lead let alone go in for the kill as we did so often in 2021 and early 2022. Surely it is more than poor physical fitness. Seems like a now ingrained lack of self belief. I am so grateful that this didn’t pertain when we were 17 points down mid Q3 in the GF 2021 - why has this turned? On field leadership? Lack of fire from the coaching staff? Stale messaging? Langford has been an amazing pick up - IMO as good as Clarry’s debut season and seems to have superior skills and presence of mind already. Great to see Clarry getting back towards his best. He seems to be in a good mindset and I hope he can carry this into 2026 FOR MFC! I can’t bear to lose and particularly to Collingwood but there were definite signs of hope for next year. Tweak a few things like goalkicking and disposal options and who knows? I can’t wait for your end of season review. So much to talk about especially with fading veterans who were vital in 2021.

What genius at HQ decided that it was a Saturday night blockbuster WCE v SS? I doubt the TV sponsors would be too happy.

Maybe he is going the other way ⬇️? hopefully not a homophobic comment? could cost you 5 weeks unless you claim a mystery confidential medical condition and or have finals ahead

Winning mentality is a key job for whomever coaches 2026. Maybe a new sports psychologist too - do we have one?

Surely it will depend on what a new coach thinks of him (and many others) and if he / they can be found a new role ?

Thanks for a bit of positivity. I hate losing of course, but our games v finalists Footscray and Colonwood showed glimpses of hope with great ball movement. Now we need to tweak skills Looking forward to a far better 2026 (unless Neeld comes back to coach 😡😮🙄)

How about a clearance and goal?

Bad luck Culley. You have been a great find.
