Pennant St Dee

They wouldn't have played slingshot footy and had the same manic tackling pressure they did last week

Its Friday BB and quick reaction to spell check is not my thing on Friday. But standby the capability to change game plan mid run on is something we lack

What if it was Sicily and Kelly v Lever

Anyone who doesn't realise its plan A of plan ABC when you become a good side and something yp2u change to within 5 mins of a run on has NFI

Just needed to change the first line

Problem is we need to click this week. Because it's to late after that

Big no to Stevie Motlop Hopper -Yes Lever-yes but at the right price Kelly - would be an absolute game changer for us. But he would be for many Whitfield - would come cheaper then Kelly and IMO has plenty of upside. OOC at the end of 2018

Watts is on 4th game back. Hoges took a while to blow out the cobwebs Gawn was good 1st week back before taking another couple to hit his straps. So Watts needs to step up and against the Saints we can't just bomb it long Carlisle will have a field day and they will counter quickly hitting Reiwoldt leading hard up the ground. Think we need to go mobile as we can inside fwd 50 and with the season on the line roll the dice and have as many players as possible who can rotate through the middle Jetta Omac Hibberd Hunt Frost Salem Vince Tyson Harmes Trac Tmac Melksham Garlett Weid Watts Gawn Viney Jones Lewis ANB, Brayshaw, Hannan

Just stating facts CB. Maybe it's this century which has done it to you or severe MFCSS but there's glass half empty and then there's your view on MFC

Never mind Pro Dee, Clint is good at finding the negative in everything MFC

It may be a game judged on wins and losses and playing finals would be great. Unlike the usual handwringers who have been very vocal in the last fortnight and after Hawks Freo and 1st Nort loss. I like to look at the season and list overall moving forward. The next 3 weeks will alter my assessments but could have been so different without the big structural imteruptions we've had through the season. Hogan - interupted season Jones - same Salem - improved Watts - been poor since returning but lets not forget how improved his contested side was in Gawns absence Trac - shown plenty but starting to look tired Lewis - despite the knockers has brought much needed nous Viney - improved as a leader and player and played most season under duress Trenners - done Brayshaw - can't be judged Gawn - injury interupted Tyson -same same Oliver - improved to borderline elite Hibberd - great acquisition been poor last 2 weeks but overall fantastic Stretch - gone backwards Kent - as above and decision time Frost - raw with brain fades but improved Melksham - took time but imo improved as defensive forward Hannan - great season and hopefully the rest helps Pedersen - important when Gawn was out AVB- never got started Vince - same JKH -improved but IMO just depth Tmac - improved great season Weid - goung to take more time Hullet - clearly hasn't come on Omac - much improved Hunt - improved Nibler - improved Bugg - had improved but lack of discipline has cost our forward structure Spencer - inopportune injury killed his chance King - ??? Kennedy - unseen at AFL Garlett - improved AA form Johnstone - ???? Jetta - underrated gun improved every year since Neeld left Smith - inkury Mckenna - as above White - hasn't come on Wagner - slight improvement Harmes - improved Smith - looked promising early but injury has been a factor Keilty - ?? Flipper -?? Maynard - promising

I defended the coaches last week getting it right IMO and players desire costing us in the final quarter. Soundly outcoached on Saturday. Whatever about not starting a loose defender but when they got that run on change needed to be made to stem the tide. Also couldn't understand why wr continued against the wind to play quick footy when the game needed to be slown down to a stoppage battle

In the words of NFL legend Al Davis Just win baby!

6. Gawn 5. Jetta 4. Vince 3. Lewis 2. Oliver 1. Omac

Being poor coming back from a lay off is one thing. He was putting effort and heart in earlier in the season. Shoud be a non negotiable. I struggle to understand how anyone who was on our list in 08 to 13 doesn't burn wuth desire to never go back to tjose gdays and make a stand when required. Jetta does it but todays Jones and Watts didn't

This and maybe Weid for Pedo. Fwd line is totally disfunctional at the moment so time for a change up and go for full mobility

I said to a mate yesterday at some stage GWS are going to hit the switch Coniglio is a key to frre up Kelly and Shiel hope he takes another week. Well it happened today. Dumb football today - Jones Frost Hunt Nibbler Harmes Hibberd Lack of effort - Watts & Garlett When we were flying mid season it was on the back of all 22 putting in. Captains need to shut the doors all week and come out and play. Sudden death elimination starts next week and I want 22 who leave nothing out there

Agree totally

I wasn't sure on the result but the usual suspect with the school holiday chat has us winning. That's the kiss of death we're done

I don't think there was anything to wrong with the structures for the game. I know we can say lets put Tmac behind the ball into the wind but the times we were caught in bad match ups were when the Roos broke through the press to IMO due to tackles not sticking. I thought our skill execution overall were poor and I can cop that due to the conditions but tackling is a must no matter what the conditions. We set ourselves up in the last quarter the two goals we gave up were poor clearance work which saw Swallow in space find Brown gain space on Hibberd after his slip. The second was North pinned into their defensive 50 and young players in Mountford and Neilson (I think) break a couple of poor tackles to end up getting the ball over the press forward of the wing and find players like Higgins running hard for an option over the top (as soon as identifying tackles were broken). We end up with a quick hit and hope kick holding up in the wind falling into Browns lap. The defensive set up for the mongrel punt falling short was shocking defending with defenders caught behind their opponents. To me that is all down to the players tackles not sticking, not running as hard on your direct opponent. Bernie Vince also needs to be held to account he would have run with Higgins nut wasn't available due to a lack of discipline.

6. Oliver 5. Tmac 4. Tyson 3. Lewis 2. Jetta 1. Hibberd ( down for him but we had many passengers)

Out: Hogan, JKH & Trenners. In: Vince, Jones & Pedo or Weideman Jetta Omac Hibberd Hunt Frost Salem Vince Tyson Harmes Trac Tmac Watts Garlett Pedo Melksham(gets Shaw) Gawn Oliver Viney Jones, ANB, Lewis & Hannan

Ffs Goodwin outcoached. This loss was all on the players. It was ours to lose we had them where we needed them at 3 quarter time. Attitude is what cost us not Goody, not the umpires, plain and simple attitude not putting the foot on their throat and thinking the win would do it for us. Effort will always beat talent. Watch their 4 goals into the breeze in the game all about hard running. Our boy's getting ahead of themselves yet again. For what reason I have no idea

Danger game. Beware the slow start and letting them get their tails up seriously

Also a good wet weather side in heavy conditions
