Melksham is useless. Gawn needs to wake up.

I’ve also heard this morning that Viney out with a 4 week injury - hoping it’s not his foot again!

Not with Tomlinson working so well as the 3rd tall. Also - surely repeated injuries and age must catch up quickly and take away a yard of pace.

Umpiring a disgrace. But we lost our defence structure late in that quarter. For the last smith goal, when we lost the ball we had 3 mids all forward of the contest cheating. Hopefully Goody resets them at 3 qtr time.

Kossie!!! Started this quarter on fire. Henderson for Cats having a shocker - just target him!!

Fritsh has woken up☺️

Concussion sub for May

Hollywood footy starting to creep in and Cats will make us pay

Accidental elbow my [censored] - another Hawkins cheap shot

Different roles - one is media and the other commercial

Fair enough discussion - and hopefully keeps heads deflated.....

Hope Goodwin highlights this last quarter. hollywood handballs from trac Tmac going back with one hand with the flight nibber trying Hollywood knock-ons Gus lazy short passes missing targets Jones torching team mates to have shot from 50m All against giants with one on the bench for most of second half.

Clarry petulant - need to just concentrate on ball in clearances. Fritsh - needs to lead harder and faster and get physical Sparrow - 2 touches...... lift son! TMac - get some separation and create space for orhers. Umpires - Jesus wept....

He wasn’t good!!

Spargo a liability - won’t be convinced otherwise

What’s simple Simon going to do? Obviously wait until half time to have a nice chat by the look of it.

Rivers panics by hand - got to learn to take a tackle instead of gifting to opposition

I just don't see it. He was awful versus Doggies in community cup - surprised he held position in team - just doesn't have the speed or skill to overcome height deficiency - when one on one on the flanks gets out marked with ease and can't even halve contest. Unfortunately can't see a future for him - particulary if Bowey or Laurie develop into players.

Oliver - done.

Centre bounce chemistry has been an issue for a number of years - we just don’t get an advantage from Gawns ruck work - and looking at the numerous combinations running through the middle yesterday I’m not sure we’ll develop the chemistry. I couldn’t believe how many fringe players started in the middle - we had Sparrow, Jones, Harmes, Jordan, Nibbler, Hunt, Kossie - all attended numerous centre bounces and they had no impact other than Nibbler who actually had 3 clearances. I think Sparrow had more centre bounces than Brayshaw - for zero clearances. I get fresh legs and multiple people being able to run through the the middle - but numerous times we put the B graders in the guts and just watched Freo walk out of the middle from Gawns tap. Only stick them in the guts if they are good enough to clear it!!!

Sparrow doesn't cut it - hard and tought but for a bloke with average speed and average skills (at best) he needs to be a massive natural ball accumulator - ball magnet like the crouch brothers - but he's just not - just doesn't read play well enough to compensate for average elements in game.

Should go straight to Fisherman's bend - the Govt desperate to fasttrack commercial development into this prescinct.

Non-solicitation clause obviously not in Josh M’s contract - amateur hour at the Dee’s.....

Regarding facilities, I still think Eddie Maguire had the best idea - in setting up a new site at Port Melb / Fisherman’s bend. The govt want to develop the whole fisherman’s Ben’s area with housing schools, shops etc - and we should have got them to fund sporting facilities.

Bring him back. Mick Malthouses best coaching trait was to get the best out of individuals - those that weren’t overly professional but could play footy - the rat pack. I’d rather have Jesse getting into strife three times a year and kicking 50 goals than have ANB be uber professional, win the time trial but be unable to hit a target 25m away. It doesn’t have to bring down the standards of the whole group if we’ll managed and coached. Give the coaches a challenge and bring him back!!
