The real issue is the back line that has saved the mids and forwards for the last 3 seasons has finally cracked. Geez they've been good but it had to end eventually

Yes thankyou. It's almost libellous ( as we are so often warned) I am just going with embarrassing, though I can't imagine what would happen if it was said on here about say, Viney and Goodwin. I could have better observed that the idea of Melksham arising from the ashes as the saviour resembles Petty going forward for a few weeks and resolving long term forward issues. As it happens I' m a fan of both and would find a spot for Maynard if he was available!!!!!

Ok I have found my first reply that shows your post and I was completely mistaken. Wrong and I apologise

Correct me by showing me your original post. I replied on the basis that you stated McCrae told Maynard to do it. As I said..regardless of AFL mischief he should have been suspended and ,at the time ,that he probably wouldn't be. I am happy to apologise if you show your post. I do think it's old news though in any case

So you saw McCrae give him instructions ? You can read lips from the coaches box? Ridiculous pathetic and juvenile,but yes clearly the on ground incident was reportable and he should have been suspended

I think that's contestable but the Mcrae bit is either stupidity or slanderous

Tough on Viney Kind to the Footy Dept

I'm pleased someone else has realised this

Some of my best memories after the 21 finals and the Norm Smith years were the Neeld era when I would go to the G on Fridsy night and watch good teams compete without having to suffer angst if my favoured option lost. Skills on display

TMac forward is the dumbest move ever,hopefully that's supporter stupid not FD hopeless Petty back makes sense though , he was good there over a period of time as opposed to a couple of weeks forward Maybe it has to be in the twos though It's a pity that by the time Goodwins retrenched ( after a KB loss?) There won't be any obvious alternatives with excellence who will want to coach on Goschs Paddock.

Max is not the best tap ruckman in the comp. He makes the other ruck ineffective though so it becomes mostly a battle between the mids.

Pity he can kick for goal around the like half the league can these days ,but yes I can see what you are saying. Even the Bont gets more support than Trac

Is this coach killing stuff at last,now both the gun young and old options are taken and the list is on its knees?

Yeah it's been obvious for years that it's his around the ground work and restricting the opposition ruck from tapping directly to his own mids that's his quality. I'm sure every mid in the league know they can rove to him

In case you haven't noticed Max ,for all his qualities, often doesn't tap to his midfield

Yep it's the umps fault

Charming. I have no idea why someone would post that.

"Max" imising the list is past tense.. Didn't happen,what's next?

Going on past performances the game that could set us up is the one they tend to lose so they can do it the hard way later on. Otherwise 3 out the next 5 would be useful if they got % boost in the process

It's pathetic the vitriol some punters manufacture with regards players and coaches MFC would love be in in red and blue . School boy stuff really

Well now, with 3 more goals in the first quarter , no junk time goals from rabble in the last,a gimme win last week and they'd have a lock on 2nd in a season where there are "about 12 other teams" vying for the eight and where % will be at a premium as the season rounds up. To say nothing of the two next weeks depending on the Pies injury toll and Jackson playing like it's the 4th quarter 2021. They just beat St Kilda ,that's all. TMac ,Tomlinson ,Salem and a few passes that hit a leading JVR on the chest are the only real high spot takeaways imo Maybe Viney kicking one from nearly 50 shows that improvement is possible A few of them should take notice.

To say nothing of the rubbish they served up last week.

Running and contesting is a great thing

You can't say that!! EVERYONE has saying he was " the answer" after about 3 games last year. Hilarious

Ooh now he's marking and passing what to say next?
