Deecisive

a good win, if we could only improve on our kicking efficiency, we would be so better. i hope there boys are hungry enough to want to stay on top of the ladder and come out again week after week with that hunger. Demons sides of old often got complacent especially when playing some of the lower sides.

given the poor performances by the pies so far this year, i wonder if he would prefer to go there rather than a top 5 side. i would prefer he stay with the dees. our stocks are overflowing at the moment that will not always be the case. there are a few players who are still not playing as well as they could which could allow for some changes that may give him a chance to get back into our top 22 and stay there.

Is there anything stopping us from trading next years 1st round pick for someone 1st round pick this year, i.e. someone like GWS who traditionally end up with 3 or so picks in the first round.

who is on fife

we have only had 2 more scoring shots than Freo if they could start kicking straight we would be in trouble

looks like we have gone to sleep and letting freo run over us

did you see any practice around the new man on the mark rule, i.e. have players running around looking for the handpass and just as importantly any sign of how we are going to defend against the opposition using this new rule to run the ball more often.

i am not sure why this fuss over their height, it is their skill at getting the ball and using it well that we are after. Their rolw is likely to be crumbing at browns feet so if brown does not get the ball they do. having less height and more speed can help them get in and under and get the ball, and is likely to result in them getting more high tackles than a taller player would. Their addition to the team will hopefully push our other small forwards to work harder and improve their skills because if they dont they wont get too much game time.

i love the awareness he showed in the video, players coming at him and he danced around them instead of just getting rid of the ball. the couple of tackles he made in the video looked good, just the sort of player we need hanging around brown in the forward line. good pick.

too slow it will [censored] people off waiting so long especially when teams know who they are taking at this early stage

I like to look of perkins, he moves the ball on quickly which is great to see. Would be a very handy addition if we could snare him.

so has the Melbourne FC academy got anyone that we are interested in?

agreed we will get more picks for players we swap out. What l would like to see is quality players that are free agents wanting to come to Mfc. Top players that don’t cost us a draft pick.

Collingwood does not give away good players, there is more to this than we are aware of. If he is such a great player they why is Collingwood is still having trouble selling him to teams that a desperate for a player like Treloar. For some reason this reminds me of Melbourne's recruitment of Kelvin Templeton, if i had a vote it would be no thanks.

is it that we dont leak, and obviously the other parties we potentially talk to dont leak as well or that we dont have very much to leak about.

we can pay one guy $650 to kick 50+ goals a year, or we can pay two guys $700k+ who kick 40 goals between them. No brainer go after him.

i wish him luck find a new home. he put in for the club he was not necessarily the most gifted, but then have a look at most of the players we have had over the last 60 years.

give the kid a break, first year playing senior football away from home, very keen to make his mark and kick goals. He gets the ball and is rushing his kicking but he will get better in time. 7goals 13 points is twenty shots on goal and a few score assists as well. He could easily double that number of shots on goal in the next couple of years.

have loved Toms work but if he is happy to be traded then happy to trade him. not sure anyone is going to break out the chequebook for Oscar.

i dont understand why they do not know tippinwuti is going to run with the ball every change he gets, he keeps faking them out and running around our players. thankfully he is not destroying us like he has in the past.

playing a side that is demoralized, playing poorly and we still cannot put them away.

well they are certainly not playing like a team playing for a place in the finals, and quite frankly they have done nothing to deserve to be in the finals.

We should win this by 6 goals at least, but mfc has a habit of not turning up when we play bottom sides. Bombers got their butt well and truly kicked last match their players will be coming out to try to prove they are better than that, the question is will the mfc do likewise

For all of gains dominance in the ruck we are not winning anywhere as many clearances as we should be.

As good and bad as we have played this game we are still in with a chance to win. Just a matter if these guys have the balls to step up. Also depends on how hard mummy continues to belt our players. Kind of reminds me of big Carl’s last game
