Umpires convince me they cannot umpire fair in front of interstate crowds. It kills teams. otherwise we are just pretenders. Gutful again. All promise/talk no result.

Pretenders until otherwise proved!

Season defining game! They have Wines, Polec and Gray. Our best game must be brought to beat them. Bring in Tyson as he must perform or be traded. Speed is our problem.

2 wins from 6 games in 2018. Not sure if our game style is working at MCG. In the modern era it feels like our home games at MCG do not have the excitement it once did, which is a long time ago. We have improved a lot, however it feels like the MCG is no different to playing at any other venue. Home grounds are now an advantage to interstate teams mainly because of one sided crowds. As a club our administration should be looking at ways to win as many MCG games as possible. It ain’t what it used to be at our home stadium.

Chunk and Viney should not be in the middle at same time. Brayshaw is Chunks replacement, chunk needs a rest.

Our game style is rubbish at the G! No speed to cover fast teams. Not a happy place to go to watch our team at our home ground.

Petracca and bath water a good mix at the minute. He has done nothing yet! Clarrie makes him look ordinary.

They wanted it more than us! They played better than us, their 2 way run and effort much better than us. Very ordinary effort today on the big stage. We are a long way off! 10% loss in percentage. Petracca is coasting and needs a size 10 boot up his backside. Viney not fit yet, our midfield looked slow.

Anyone bother listening to FM? Almost every station has moronic comedians every morning laughing at their own jokes and frankly make up childish non funny stuff. I guess many have a short attention span. If you want decent radio with trained broadcasters, tune into UK radio.

Damn site better than listening to bogans on the radio! He has a few smarts which intimidates the bogans. Plenty of ex AFL players on radio that are poo!

Tyson did a full pre season before injury. He should be up and about. Expect more from him and time he needs to fire up and get the best out of himself. The other is ANB, he has misfired in the first 6 games, patience running out with him.

I agree, I pay premium dollars to sit with MFC members and always have opposition numpties invited to Chairman’s functions and then get seats in MFC premium area!

That idiot Treadway from Adelaide on MMM gave his votes to 2 PA players and Hibberd. Did not even rate Clarry! One of the true dumb brainless airhead to come out of Adelaide.

It's all a bit tiresome going to the G at this time to watch our club. I'm not enjoying the football we dish up there, and frankly the club seems to still be irrelevant in the media and elsewhere.

Yes we need players who will stand up in the dying minutes to inspire us to win. Where are they? Our backline still looks totally unorganised and frightful when the heat is on. Hibberd was great, but again TMac seems to poo himself and find himself out of position at crucial times. He is in the leadership group, about time he showed significant improvement in this area. Our young guys are travelling well, it's the guys who have been around for a few years who let us down in leadership. we just don't seem to have at this stage players who inspire and drag the group over the line. Actually losing Max was crucial not only for his ruck work, he is a good leader.

This is a very good topic for many reasons, however the most important question needs to asked. Nathan Jones has been our Captain for a number of years, yet we are now rudderless unless Lewis is in the team to lead. Where does this leaves Jones, and the rest of the leadership group? I will tell you.....Jones has been a warrior in a sustained period of club disaster on field, and Jones in my opinion has proven to be a poor leader during periods when we needed composure to win games. If the club cannot win without Lewis's leadership - then the club is in strife. I love Jonesy as a player, but it's time others stepped up onfield to lead, otherwise we are stuffed. Lewis brings success, leadership and experience, but WTF are others doing? Jones and Viney need to step up and lead by example. Not just rely on Lewis to do it all.

Have heard the coaches believe he is not accountable for a senior player, does not set right example to young guys. Card marked.

Like it or lump it, highly skilled AFL players in the modern era have clubs, supporters and the game itself in a squirrel grip!! I keep hearing everybody needs to bend over for the modern footballer...lets hope the Dee's and the institution that gives these guys a living gets a good break with Jesse. This club needs a good break after the last 10 years of rot.

Jesse is doing the right thing with new bargaining agreement in the pipeline. He has only played 20 games, I am not panicking because we will have Roos, Jackson and Goody who will do everything in their power to sign him to the club long term. Peter Jacksons most important task before he leaves us is to sign up all our young stars on long term contracts. Otherwise all his work to date will be in vain. in PJ we trust!

Yeah much nicer climate if you enjoy stinking hot summers for 8 months a year. Perth is good if you can withstand the extreme heat and cost of living. Personally I prefer Melbourne lifestyle with much more choice and cheaper eating out.

Disposal is putrid......either improve this part of your game Tom or you will be another MFC player lost and forgotten about.

If Watts and others are thinking about leaving then it is now time Jackson pulled out his aces. I will [censored] spew if Watts goes and Neeld stays. FFS MFC get your act together and sort this out pronto.

I'm a NJ fan and he works his guts out for this club, However if Jonesy and JT and the others want to play finals during their careers with the MFC, THEN FFS get your collective poo together and pull your finger out and play a brand of football that we all will respect.
