Ted Lasso

I like that he makes few changes in terms of the lineup, continuity i think is very important for a young team, my concern is that he just seems to have one move and that's throw watts into the backline.

He certainly did, still of the opinion he is on the fringe between VFL and AFL level but there is something to work with there.

Neeld's idea was right but he chose the wrong players imo, we need some blokes who can play in our best 22 have played in a winning culture and can teach our young mids, montagna, thomas and sewell fit the bill perfectly, not sure what we would have to trade to get sewell, but any chance pick 1 gets us montagna?

Who is to blame, that alone is a big problem at the MFC.... the whole club at this point is a dysfunctional shell and needs to be sorted out ASAP. is trengove playing the way i'd like a number 2 pick to play? no, but he trains the house down, imo is carrying OP wants to be a good player and that's all you can ask, he is making solid contributions. Neil Craig i think is a good person in terms of getting people up and positive but his lack of changes on game day worry me a little bit.

I know Grimes hasn't been great the last few rounds but the way he started the year was fantastic, on par with Nathan jones for the bluey imo, might be worth watching the replays to restore some faith that he is okay?

I am starting to wonder if Sylvia and Watts although not the cause are not helping the culture problem at the club, both very high draft picks, neither play to their full ability, neither show any form of leadership, or seem to take any sort of responsibility. Sylvia would be a loss simply because he is a big bodied midfielder, but i have no problem with us trading watts to add to the midfield

I am a big BIG fan of Taylor Adams, my question would be would they do a swap for Jamar and pick 19, or would they do a swap for Jack watts? is it possible a deal could be done without pick 1 or 3?

fair enough, apologies

are you suggesting age isnt an excuse, how would you go been thrown in the deep end at his age? give him more than a handful of games to prove himself

Depressed as, thanks.

I think it's possible but not likely.

Totally agree, it would shut up so many people if trenners just came out and said, i have been battling OP for the last two years, I think both will be good players but trenners isn't right imo and grimes is a half back

I'd nearly offer them boyd and watts for him tbh.

If the club adds one player to the list who would you like to see/think we could get we have some good trade currency in Jack watts, fitz, blease, pick1 and pick 3 potentially I think we need at least one mature age midfield leader, someone who won't take cr@p and set elite standards, support Nathan Jones and teach our Young midfield what is required I think the club needs to bring Simon Black or Cameron Ling in as an Assistant coach to help on this front, My number one target at this point would be David Mundy, Victorian strong bodied mid who freo may consider offering for pick 1.

A wasted pick, are you serious? he has played what 10 games? i would suggest there are a few players who have taken more than 10 games to find their feet.

Fyfe and Dustin martin would be huge gets for us, but i think we need guys like sewell and swan, older blokes who have been around a while too,

Don't watch other teams play mate, far too depressing.

That's absolutely right, Nathan Jones is a good player but he isn't a Chris Judd or Gary Ablett, we have no elite senior talent to teach our younger players, it's like the blind leading the blind, we rely on our coaches to teach these players and we have mucked up our last two coaching appointments, any wonder the players aren't developing as we'd like.

Stats, gameplans, KPI's, none of it means anything right now, the players have 0 heart, 0 confidence and 0 pride, fix those and we might start to improve.

6. Nathan Jones, absolute gun 5.jack viney, i love the way he attacks the contest 4.Matt Jones, tried hard all day as always 3.Mitch Clisby, his best game for the club 2. Dean Kent, has gone ahead of sam blease imo 1. Jack Trengove, faded in and out of the game but showed something class like at times.

I agree that he shouldn't be on our list in 2014, not the type we need, stands for what's wrong with MFC.

Doesn't really make a difference?

The playing list needs a good kick up the ar5e, they are playing for the oldest club in the comp, have some pride in your performances, remember it's an honor not a right.

It's both really, you can't tell me Watts wouldn't be a better player if he was drafted to Geelong or Sydney?

Hogan is doing it against men, boyd is doing it against kids.
