    Dogs definitely need to improve their defence. In a perfect world JUH traded for Petty and something would be good for both clubs. Shame it won't happen
  2. Just when these players need a game to display match day skills we get another bye. There's possibly some life in Laurie. Don't mind players being exposed to other positions especially the half forwards and pockets. BBB should only play 3 out of every five games IMO. There's a spot which would probably have gone to Joel S in the off weeks but it's definitely up for grabs. McAdam at the next Casey match could be worth the entry fee

    Wins by the Saints and Crows would not do our long term aims any harm
  4. Mfc has had a dominant ruckman for 20 plus years but we have never dominated clearances on a consistent basis. Why... I think it is simply that while Gawn has a plan as to where he would like to hit it the reality of the ruck duel is that precision is rare
  5. they remind me of young Stretch and JKH........... good at VFL level but not possessing the spark necessary to crack AFL Hope I'm wrong
  6. Laurie is probably the one who has a chance. I'm not seeing AMW making it but he could surprise. Hunter is another but he needs a few games is my guess. A pity the VFL team has a bye next week given they've just had one
  7. Do we have a vfL game in our bye week? Hopefully yes If so we have two weeks to decide
  8. Zero excuse for that performance. They owe us one
  9. Not lookin good
  10. one rushed behind in almost 30 minutes of football
  11. Could have been a lot worse A few players need to lift to say the least
  12. binman has told us that we like to lose clearances so you may relax
  13. Oliver without a touch so far
  14. Hope you've got lots of ice. Stinking hot and humid in SE Asia at present
  15. I adopted the arrogant Hawthorn supporter psyche last week and it worked well. MFCSS is back for this game though
  16. billings kicks two of his misses and Petty one of his and last week's win was by 32. Not bad Kozzie will be badly missed if for no other reason than he commands a good defender. Cameron's form this year has been woeful. Last week watching their game I asked at half time if he was out injured as I had not heard him called. Turned out he had been playing but had one possession to that time. Definitely need to get this done and then settle the line up over the next five weeks or so until the mid year bye As Bugs Bunny used to say... Overture, curtain, lights This is it, we'll hit the heights Tonight what heights we'll hit. On with the show, this is it.
  17. big game Not as confident as I was last week. Our forward talls are all now match fit. Hopefully they deliver as a group Accuracy last week was bad. Can't afford a repeat Dees by 21

    Centre clearance after a goal is another matter. It offers a very high chance of scoring if it's a clean win
  19. Laurie in the 22 or as sub Time for him to shine
  20. A pity as it's probably my favourite VFA ground complete with giant dim sims and the famous Burra Burger' The sausage sizzle at Frankston was nice on my last visit
