We have turned off in this test. Our fielding was very poor and the pace bowlers have lacked a little. Batting was disgraceful yesterday apart from the unit and charlemagne.

Richmond and GWS granny. I hate the filth and Geelong. I give GWS a good chance next week.

Agreed. I hope Richmond belt the crap out of geelong.

I agree. Would have batted but I don't think 294 is a good score. A minimum of 400 on what looks like a good batting pitch.

Frost in a heartbeat.

Been a poor day so far. Win the toss and bowl. Not a good choice. 2 dropped catches that were pretty easy chances. See if they can overcome the situation or is Root going to go on and make a big one. The only change I would have made is Warner out. Marsh does not impress me and Siddle for Starc is silly.

1. My gut feelings. 2. He wants to stay at the filth or so I am led to believe. 3. He is dangerously injury prone. 4. We are looking at Langdon and Tomlinson. How much coin is there to cover this. Elliot would want a gold nugget on his cake. Losing frost wont cover it and I don't think we should be getting rid of big name players.

Wont happen. Next.

Interesting debate about the openers. Not for the 5th test but future ones I am actually in the Harris and Renshaw camp.

Exactly. Even just his pace is enough especially at Melbourne. Currently he is probably the best defender at the club so to lose him would be bad.

Stokes out. I will give him credit for is honesty. These umps have been terrible for us.

I think the pitch will play up a lot more in Old Trafford than at Headingly. We should win this quite easily but I suppose the New Zealander will try to wreck everything. Just got to bowl a good length and the wickets will fall.

I rate Sparrow way ahead of the rest. Hore would be next.

I remember tomlinson playing against the tigers in the prelim a couple of years ago. I thaught he was the giants best player. Mind you that is one game but it was a final. This could be interesting.

The unit and charlemagne will have to go on with it after lunch. We should be looking to score 400 plus. Great batting surface. I just love watching the unit bat.

It will be interesting to see how Aus backs up after the disaster of the last test. Starc could make the difference, I am glad they kept Wade over Kawaja. Also the unit is back.

At least Starc and Smith are back.

Jones is in New Zealand.

Given our year he should be at Baw Baw and not at Queenstown.?

Sorry but too old. At 31 he could get through half of next season and fall off the cliff.

Don't forget a bloke by the name of Sparrow. He could fit into our inside mix next season.

Sparrow. Maybe langdon if we get him. I could throw in the likes of Chandler and Jordan who are at least got plenty more years in them.

Jones has been a great clubman and has stuck with us however I believe he should have retired. I don't believe he is in our best 22 next season so will be interested to see what happens.

This is an example of Barrett. Just read his statement carefully and you can come out with is nothing at all. It is just a dog chasing its tail.

Just wonder what Yze would think about it. Apart from Jackson the MFC administration has been very poor. Yze would know ofcourse.
