monoccular

With Gus’ season Eve retirement, and now CP5 season gone, we would be in deep 💩 had Clarry not been here, even below his incredible best.

Indeed.

Maybe Max was going incognito. Very easy for him to hide. 🙄

We didn't "let Jordon go" - he was a free agent and hadn't much game time at MFC. I strongly suspect that had we known Gus was going t retire we would have made him a far better offer and been able to tell him that he would get much more game time. Hindsight is so easy. Who else other than JVR would do the back up ruck work given that Fullerton who was supposedly bought to play that role doesn't look like getting a game? Re Jordon - see above

Thanks Goffy A great summation on what we were and what we are. Can you please go and give the guys a pep talk, or coach the coaches?

Clarry is our leading disposals per game player (though sadly and maybe explaining our dire position) number 43 in the AFL. CP5 is our next best at #50 and that won’t help for the remainder of the season 😢 Next, at #80 is JV7. No others in the top 100. Maybe that helps explain our season.

Who was the first and only player ever to be suspended for wrestling? Alen Jackovich ( MFC) Who was the first and only player to be suspended for a nearly but missed high tackle? Brett Moloney (MFC) Who was the first player to be suspended for a sling tackle (allegedly causing concussion, though being BOG the following week?) Jack Trengove (MFC) on Patrick Dangerfield (Adelaide) Does paranoia need to be unfounded conspiracy, or does actual conspiracy also count? We were already, this year, when JVR laid a tackle v Carlton (of course) and we scored a winning goal only to be called back for what was universally called out as a staged sling. No MRO there - Carlton exclusions apply. Yes, I am paranoid. My pet hobby horse. A player will some day break his neck when driving headlong into an opponent’s midriff and the opponent will be vilified and made to have lifelong guilt. If every player who did this was penalized every time it would stop immediately, and a true tragedy may be avoided. But the AFL will do nothing until it happens then wring their hands with faux shock and surprise. Far from the first head high attack by Lethal 😡

Well it certainly wasn’t a Casey form selection, since that farce of a competition didn’t start for at least another week. Talking as if Fullarton is a rookie, not a ?4th year AFL player. So looking for development from a 4+ year player is pretty bloody optimistic, and hasn’t exactly been a great back up either with taller forwards going down right, left and centre But maybe learning “the Melbourne way” of playing Jack in the pack in a crowded forward line is just what he needs to learn 😡🤯

I am sure that AFL HQ will be able to manipulate that 🤮 Who are the two little guys beside him? Yeah, sure. As sacrosanct as Max’s head 😡. AFL are a pack of hypocritical money hungry businessmen with their own agenda.

Thanks Bobby. Yes, he is really struggling this season, and it isn’t clear what should be done to help him and thus help the team, the supporters and the club. I agree 100% though that bagging him relentlessly can only make it all worse. ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Whilst I have been hoping that Sestan could push for selection, he had one kick and 6 hand passes, though 4 tackles is a sort of positive. We have seen players promoted on similar stats, though these weren’t debutants. jumbo - not in any way like for like. And what really do you see in Billings, now or in the future??

And who do you see in that rôle?

I agree 100% - there appear to be no leading patterns and no spread. All congregate for the pack mark and oppositions spread off and clear way too easily. One massive positive for HP last night and should be a confidence booster was that very telling pack mark in the dying minutes. Inspiring

Maybe, but even Might Gawnius Maximus does need a breather, and who else do we have. Fullarton was supposed to fill that rôle but seems a bust.

Ever heard of one David Neitz?? There have been many worse ideas promulgated. I hope he shows more oomph than BF31 has over the past few weeks. Kentfield - a very early call. Laurie and Fullerton ✔️

The only thing one can legitimately say about the AFL and the MRO in particular is that they are always consistently inconsistent. And what is the betting that May will get his head ripped off several times in the next few weeks and will not get a free kick.

6 Viney 5 Rivers 4 ANB 3 Gawn 2 Tholsyrip 1 May

Lever would be a welcome inclusion. What is going on with #31? Preseason some were talking him up as a Coleman prospect. A good performance tomorrow by any Casey medium / tall forward would be welcome.

What an absolutely rigged game this has bexome We are awful and probably dont deserve to win but the umpiring is just criminal And our club will say absolutely nothing. The fish rots from the head.

Zero system when we do get it Do not deserve to win tonight

Tom Mc thrown out of marking contest - free against??? WTF????

How was that HTB against Koz and how was it down the ground Did the maggots visit Sportsbet at ¾ time? And again 50 m for a goal

And he will get a goal assist for it 🤔

If not they should be.

But we can’t drag both Oliver and Ftittata
