"Back to the 9" when its a Norf player near the point post but for us the Norf player is allowed to set his own mark, over the actual mark and about 3 meters from the boundary line lol

Amazing how the rule is supposed to be fake HBs arent counted but when its us its different lol

Can't do much more than get it forward quickly under some pressure though. Turner needed to trap it. Poor ground level skills / body work

Wow doesn't get much softer than that

Absolutely this The AFL are the biggest bunch of BShiiiteers going They imposed the rule for roughly the first two games in the round after the Scott whinge and conference call to Tax Payer Park and then reverted back to the same old crappola

Turner a massive PITB there no free lol

Finally some time through the middle (outside of Brissy in the second half ... 5 clearances!)

Doesn't have the two way running capability or any burst speed at present Big no for mine

Finally a tall forward stands up and takes a contested under pressure. Well done Rooh

Defence solid Mid field not bad Forwards .... Pffft AGAIN (Turner ok)

Clarry's copping a heavy tag but just doesn't appear to have the leg power and speed to push through the contest and hit the ball at speed. Will need a huge pre-season to fix that and get back to his best. Playing him deep forward is probably about the only option from here to try n shake the tag and maybe hit the scoreboard or get involved in some score assists plus pressure i50.

Fritsch & Kozzy VERY soft at the contest. Bowey a liability down back. Obviously mid field depth is shot but we are also seriously lacking a competitive medium tall forward beast aka Melk Great goal from Riv there

Why not both They are both critical

This is why i'd be aiming for a top line recently retired ex forward to come in and sort this hot mess of ours out Mono. It's beyond the pale that it's still happening now after so many years under Simon. Very amature stuff for far too long. Too many seasons, lists and high quality mids, defenders and others wasted along the way. I'd be aiming at a top liner who's done and seen it all.... IF they're willing. Entice them with a medium term three year plus contract on heavy coin. They'd be worth their weight in gold imv and the improvements would be relatively quick i would think. At least after a pre-season and about one season of live matches to nail the changes down. Examples who've had sustained impact & success might include... Recently played / retired or likely to retire in 2024... 👉🏼 Tom Hawkins 👉🏼 Ablett Jnr. Played extensively with great success through the middle as well as HF. Would bring some incredible experience and knowledge / perspective in terms of bringing unison, communication and cohesion. 👉🏼 Jack Riewoldt 👉🏼 Jake Melksham* 👉🏼 Other? Close to retirement but might be able to bring some on field coaching, guidance & value if snared and can play on for another season or parts of a season in 2025 (including a few Casey games to assist the likes of Jeffo / other forwards)... 👉🏼 Tex Walker 👉🏼 Tom Hawkins 👉🏼 Jake Melksham* 👉🏼 Other? *No slight on Jake and just my opinion but would ideally prefer an outsider to assess and ring in the changes

Played significant ruck minutes last match. Looks like that experiment went well.

So if we assume this is the case, and not saying it is. Is there a chance SG is looking to pull up stumps at season's end to move up there? Especially given all the pressures he spoke of in the Age interview a few weeks back. This sneaks out about a month ago and presto, there goes the playing group's passion and along with it the form of many which drops off a cliff (for now)? The balloon burst so to speak. Probably very far fetched but stranger things have happened and a few weeks or months can be a lomg time in footy as we witnessed with Dimma.

Sauce Older D?

So arguably the greatest player ever to have played the game will never be inducted due to some off field issues yet there's an exception for filth players with similar past discretions? If that is the case then get ready for DeGoey to be fast tracked in record time by HQ & their marketing team.

Those two words don't inspire me with much confidence given how we often play in anything that smells of slippery, greasy or wet.

Unfortuantely that word and the MFC have not really gone together since the last part of 2021 D Rev. Oh and a large part of the first half of 2022. And we are a long way off the level of that team at present plus the loss of our equal best player so far for the remainder. If Simon unleashes the shackles and brings in some new blood. Some run and carry off HB via Moniz and possibly Woe. Plus serious Rivers time through the middle. Melk & Smacca start to show something. Petty, Chandler, Bowey and Sparrow get replaced. Alternatively Petty is sent back again till Lever returns and we see a miracle entre from either BBB or Fullo into Petty's role. Maybe maybe. Alot of IFs though.

That's 7 years ago. Imagine how much further down the corruption track HQ would be now! And then there's this little ditty of an excerpt. Look away SWY!... McLachlan said on Friday: "I actually thought [Buckley's suggestion] was quite a good idea. "There's a responsibility everywhere, our players, coaches, officials, everyone's held incredibly accountable every day.

You mean not even brought back over 'the mark they are setting themselves'! Stand rule is and always was a complete farce about 4 to 6 months after its introduction.

Because they're all on the gravy train. It's up to Clarko, the NFC and the other clubs to do that (when on the receiving end) but none of them will stand up. You can apply the same to the MFC hierarchy who also went MIA on the entire Buzzy / Gus fiasco. They're all part of the circus act and getting paid very well to remain there. If you don't conply you'll end up an outcast and the $$ are so good not many have the courage to rock the boat. Some will but i would suggest not before they seek and get the nod of approval from their boss to go harder than usual on it for headline / click bait purposes. And the riskiest of all clubs to go after would be the filth as they most likely draw in the biggest $$ for the AFL ring masters. Don't rock the boat!

One can only hope TC

Can i just get his gossip without the hair do?
