It's time to see these games through the red and blue glasses. Even so they are hard to select. Geelong v Carlton (a draw perhaps and if not a thrashing of Geelong) Giants v Lions... I'm going for GWS in hope that Lions remain in the 9-12 group Freo v Dogs... Dogs please which should send Freo into a crisis of confidence Port v Saints ... Port which will end the Saints season The others I am less concerned about. Unfortunately someone has to win between Bombers and Pies

Marty Hore didn't have a great game at Casey (very few did). The Casey turnovers were on another level of incompetence. Forward delivery was usually high up and unders to packs. BBB was comprehensively beaten one on one. McAdam showed glimpses but obviously needs more match fitness. Fullarton and Verral had passable games but their ruckwork was non existent. Funnily enough we were quite good at sharking the Richmond hit out but would often just fumble or handball to an opposition player who would clear the ball. In short I have no idea who you can bring in

Only within the context of Goodwin's overall plan. He would be allowed to tinker but the game plan and the playing method is pre-set. This year we chip it around and take on the corridor occasionally. Last two years it has been mainly a boundary game. It mirrors the senior team. It was worse when the VFL team was unaligned such as we had with Sandringham. Our players were often played in positions or in ways that ran contrary to the needs of the MFC AFL team. Juice Newton and Sauntner was the classic dilemna

Other than 2021 finals we've always been boring bar the occasional quarter

Looks like the fire burnt itself out rather quickly

Hope so It's been rather lukewarm so far

Casey were worse

What has happened to our AA midfield

Come on Dees we're supposed to be a top 4 team

but who is the coach if the match day co-ordinator has minimal input into game plan and selection. The reality is that the result does not matter nearly as much as the individual output. Southport for example is a strong team in this competition but few if any of its players have a chance at making an AFL team

Definitely It did none of them any good... and add in Fullarton

Considering the number of AFL listed players we had that wasn't a great performance. Some cameos but... McAdam showed ability but in a perfect world I'd like to see a full game

And that's it Skill session needed. So many turnovers

Another rubbish kick into our forward 50

I think they also park the tractor in there

Not sure why in the scheme of things we're playing bbb

It is hard to find a stand out. Game by Casey is either chip it around or play through congestion often with a turnover. Very few periods of open play

They're playing the Hawks gameplan... keep on chipping it around until you turn it over

How bad can they be

We get the ball at the centre bounce and then hand pass to a running Tiger who connects for a shot on goal Terrible

Skill levels not that great by Casey

Yes that was bad but also lots of up and under high kicks

Not the greatest delivery inside 50

Have we got it to the 50 yet let alone inside it

and GWS... we have all of them plus Collingwood in the next seven weeks (not to mention Freo and the Saints) It will be season defining if we can go 5-2 or better
