The number of times in the rounds so far that we have scored zero or one or two goals for the quarter Tells you we have serious attack problems ( as if we did not know) that have not been addressed. no finals team with a chance can afford this error we need a dedicated forward coach with ability and expertise in the forward line. This is not to denigrate existing coaches but it is not good enough. it is wasting the talents of Gawn Viney Petrarca and Oliver not to mention Salem May and Lever These players were too hard to get to waste. One flag is not enough it’s a fail !

No it was not why we lost, the first quarter did that, but poor umpiring should not be acceptable and if one particular umpire only pays frees one way. There should be questions asked. we should ask the head of the umpires why. Make them justify those decisions. make ourselves heard. Not necessarily in the media.

MFCSS. In full swing

We need a rethink, something is not working, in 7 games we have kicked a total of 13 goals in the first quarter. Two games we got 4 and 5, a number of quarters where we only scored 1 goal. and 4 quarters where we scored no goals. Top 4 we are delusional. His often tonight did Carlton kick a goal in the first 30 seconds of the quarter. MFCSS Feels like a warm coat!

Are we playing in runners and not football boots with stops

I am not looking forward to joeboys summation

Was that three of ours in the air and the ball goes over the back goal to Carlton pids weak

What a good start to the second half

Collingwood. Absolutely shirting the bed when contemplating KB game

More drizzle coming. Going to be a wonderful night

Apart from being a Melbourne supporter and therefore a decent human being. You have intelligence and humanity, These guys tipped me over as well. Go Dee's

I think the blues have reached their ceiling this year. Unfortunately I am not so sure about Collingwood. They seem to be gelling quite well. But it’s a long season

Great comments, can I use them on my mates? We are better than last year when we gifted the game. Bowey in makes us better. Petty usually keeps his form once he is up to speed. and we have Leb on a wing. and Disco is providing an alternative to our Mr Smith. and I do not think the Captain’s run took much fitness away from us. Just a loosen upperer. more angst on the keyboards than on the field Go Dee’s

I was the opposite last week, not confident at all. This week I think we have planned for the 5 day break like we did in Adelaide. agree it’s good to have Bowey back in the side

Definitely. Happened right in front of me and those feral baggers went nuts. But had been quiet all night up till then.

I think we all need a cup of tea. A bex and a good lie down, get ready for the football tonight and a win against the baggers. About 3 goals I think.

Go for it, but be careful, do not want a heart attack on the keyboard. Blood goes everywhere.

Personally 3 or 4 just as good might be enough. Go Dee’s

Do we have any idea who was there or who was not there ? thanks

Who gave what to whoever is of course debatable. But your reasoning seems ok. only way for Holmes to get 8. Is to get a 5 and 3. petts got 1 vote Max and May shuffled 3 and 0. And 2 and 1 . No other way. That leaves Kossy 4 and 0 Lever 5 and 0 and Guthrie on the 4 and missing 2 What a lot of fun. it does highlight the difference in the coaches That Lever and Kossy were not considered a threat by one coach but we’re by the other. At least Guthrie and Holmes got votes from both. There is no guarantee that Scott gave his boys 4 and 5. Go Dee’s. I do hope we have planned to come out hard against the blue baggers. their last minute win last year gave me the shirts. Quiet all day then we panic and kick it to them twice in the last minute or so and they think they were champions. Right in front of me as well.

On sports bet and tab. He is into 35 and 41. For the Brownlow. Started out at 101. Hope he gets shorter, ….. joke hope he has a couple of suns.

If they were paid in a similar way to players and I mean quite well. Then the incentive is too not make a mistake and keep getting a game to umpire each week . And therefore a hell of a lot of money. The best umpires get a high profile, the best games and the best sponsor ship. the cream will rise to the top. how can you have professional players being dictated to by part time actors. Full time umpires. It’s the only way forward. They become accountable and if paid enough, you will get more people willing to do that job. In all grades, and I have umpired but at a very low level. I used to call the game in my head and go with the first thought.

Definitely. And if they make mistakes they get dropped. Less salary. Only way. Make them accountable to get it tight and get in the correct position to see the play.

Brilliant win tonight
