monoccular

....and don't forget Petty.

Others have said that Tom started to look OK given his long layoff. Will await the "experts' opinions" ie Demonland podcast tomorrow. Tommo as a tall forward? Might have been worth a look earlier in the season, perhaps, but surely not on the eve of finals.

Mongrel, as well as skill, is what sets JVR apart from all of the aforementioned Well I guess playing at Casey prepares a forward for MFC forward delivery standards. Bomb 💣 it long. FFS Tom hasn’t played for months. Of course he won’t be like he was - at least not yet but I wouldn’t write him off so quickly. Agree 100% re the shambles of an organisation (disorganisation would be a better term) the VFL has become. Bring it back to Victoria, with ann even number, and let the interstate teams suck it up in their local leagues.

Thanks again for all your hard work, and patience with some of us posters. What do you all think about the Gawn Brundy "experiment"? Can it be made to work? Brundy seems to offer very little other than as a tap ruckman. Certainly NOT a forward and can we afford to just rotate him off the bench? I guess when playing a team with 2 decent rucks, maybe, but not so sure otherwise. You will have had an opportunity to see TMc by the time of the podcast - interested in your thoughts of his degree of readiness? If he can get fit enough to run and mark / bustle he could be the key to replacing Petty. I have no idea who else (NOT Brundy). The recent inconsistency of Melk, Salem, Bowire - is this fatigue / loading related? Usually reliable but disappointed today.

And by adding a fourth they have further depleted / diluted the talent pool from whence they select them.

The old bomb it long to a pack has recurred. Can get away with it sometimes when Petty is there, but more importantly he leads and splits the defence. Nobody seemed to eat and disperse the defenders tonight.

Love you as ever Dees but you let that one slip. Can't lose another one. Lets just go for 5 straight. Really looking forward to see If Tommy McDonald can get into some form - need an experienced tall body up forward. Same goes for Frittata.

Please Dees a couple of quick goals. JVR legged. No free.

Does Cripps as a Downlow medalist have an exemption for HTB or incorrect disposal

Smith far better as a forward. Never play back again except in dire emergency.

How come the Blues are allowed to hang on tomorrow guys after the mark no 40?

I think we are done. The Brundy experiment ain’t working. One mark and a mere handfful of disposals.

FMD this is so corrupt - clear HTB not paid then a contest free CFC. then Max obvious in the back play on.

Pretty intense now.

Cottrel clearly HTB no free then one against JVR immediately after Corrupt

FFS they get a goal from a Clarrie “throw” yet they can do a 360 then throw it - play on !!!

What about losing players to a [censored] surface (Petty 2023, Tomlinson 2021 perhaps) ??

That is disappointing. Had hoped that Sydney would have the cue in the rack prior to R 24 - still might of course.

So neither of them made it 😮

They do love inventing new rulings against us (MFCSS). “Viney guilty of standing up in a reckless manner!” 6weeks

Finished 2 after H&A - totally banged up and out in straight sets. Still a way better follow up season than Cats or Dogs.

Bad dropped mark by ratatouille.

I thought that Hawkins was out for the season.

You could save your time and watch the replay of his presser on the AFL site. It will look like this 😮😮😮😮

No doubt it will be enforced tomorrow night against Melbourne if any of our players even raise their eyebrows - MFCSS
