MCC visitor tickets not even an option. Pathetic system for a dad to take his daughter to the game.

Our podcast has just dropped out recap of the QF and the five main points of how we lost the game. Take only ten minutes to see if I was on the mark:

I just dropped our preview on our podcast on YouTube and I made sure to look the last five weeks, not the entire year form line. Outside of the Carlton loss (win) we have been awesome over this period where they have only been chugging along. Check it out (only eight minutes total) and if you like it, give a subscribe (they're free)!

Turner - please stop fumbling. I will give him the leighway of a hotly contested game to walk into. Chandler has nothing to worry about. No-one is taking his spot, especially Spargo.

If we win this week, rest Gawn against Sydney. No need to play him if we have top four sewn up.

I did notice that Carlton always went back to go forward which gave them a little extra time to escape the contest. The other was Weitering was all by himself during the first quarter and in wet conditions the dump kick is always going to happen. Why we didn't even up the contest is beyond me. Wet footy is completely different to day. It is about gaining territory and not over handling the footy, two things we have not been able to master.

I just want to know the reason for JVR getting dropped? Kicks three and still can't get in without a reason. Too good for VFL.

I am jealous of how they extract the best out of every player on the ground. You know that every player on the ground will contribute and make an impact, especially with their bottom six. There is still the 'we can tell in the first five minutes if they are on' mindset with our group that I don't see with Collingwood. They are on every week. I've also said before that the lack of creativity, flair and risk from the coaching department is going to cost us in the end. We might have a team of Mercs but they are being driven by a 50-year-old in second gear for safety and refuses to open it up and see its true performance. Until this risk-averse gameplan changes, we are only delaying the inevitable.

If BBB, T-Mac, Tomlinson and Hibbard all go that frees up a bit of cash.

Jordan dropped again? Getting beyond the joke with this kid. I'd leave too if I was getting this sort of treatment.

Harmes in to tag Serong Kozzie stay inside 50 with the instruction to be a BBB feet all game Brayshaw is back to the wing Sparrow all game on the ball Smith to tag Schutlz (always gets away from us) Petracca stay perm HF. Get a defensive first-minded player starting in the middle. Have to do with the form of Darcy and Jackson. Coaching panel to try something different ONCE!

He was part of WA's leadership group for the u18 carnival. Natural fit!

Jacob Grant from the Dandenong Stingrays is one I like. 191cm utility, raw, and loves the contest. Brother was training at Casey last season.

McVee out? Really? Did you see his run and delivery out the backline? Sure he made a couple of mistakes but he is a massive upgrade on Hunt. Triple B will need a rest and Pickett in. Simples. West Coast is cooked after the weekend injuries and the bigger Optus Stadium needs us to have a running team. We will outrun them and it will be a shellacking! But..... anyone who is not 90% (no-one is ever 100%) must not be risked. We saw what happened to Gawn last year.

This is the thread I look forward to every month!!

Dusty is finished.

The Jackson trade points wise works out to be pick 2.

But we are idiots! That would be too logical for our club to take that approach.

Get Sexton

Really liked Chandler's game yesterday. You can tell how players REALLY play in the wet when skills are a premium and the toughness stakes go through the roof. The Roo was exceptional in the way he hits packs and moves around the ground. Combine him with Petty and Fritch and you have the makings of a potent forward lime. Woey surprised me as I haven't seen much of him, I think we might have one there as well. Just need to give these kids time in the spotlight like Oliver, Trac, Salem, Viney did in the lean years. Turner and Bedford also on my watch this space radar as well.

I have always liked Sexton. Always pops up to kick a few against us and wouldn't cost much.

Speed kills on the G and we don't have enough of it. At the game and the Pies are so quick. Also leaving Elliot deep forward makes the Dockers second guess their defensive structure. We need fresh outside legs and fresh ideas in the box as well.

KOZZY HAS PLAYED THREE LESS GAMES AND IS ONLY ONLY GOAL BEHIND LAST YEARS TOTAL. GIVE THE GUY A BREAK!

Out: all assistant coaches except Williams, Yze and Williams. In: fresh ideas and someone who can change Goody's mind!

Need to put speed on the ball in transition. Collingwood showed that you can get the defence off their mark if you attack quickly. Goody must be a stubborn bastard to see that our biggest asset in 2021 is a large liability in 2022.
