Fritsch turnover. Straight to tigers players x 2

Needs to lift. Should kick but handballs too players under pressure. Too soft in the contest right now. Needs 240 volts.

May. Gawn. Rivers. Viney Kozzzy. Losing inside 50s 11-17 clearances EVEN

Marlon Pickett is a 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

Mcadam 👏👏👏 Verrall 👏👏 Fullarton 👏👏 Tomlinson 👏 Moniz-Wakefield 👏

Caulfield training base I’m all in!! Compelling case.

It’s Disco fever tonight. I like his intensity and shown he can compete at this level. Just needs a good run with no injuries.

Perhaps it’s Fullarton and Pickett in. Outs. BBB. Salem (inj) Mcvee. May. Tmcd. Rivers. Lever. Howes. Langdon. Viney. Windsor. Billings. Petty. ANB. Kozzzzy. JVR. Fritsch. Gawn. Trac. Oliver. int. Fullarton. Sparrow. Chin. Woey. sub. Throlstrup

AFL should allow Dees an added mid season spot and let JSm1th29 go to Roos. 🤣🤣🤣 Thats fair enough. They get someone who can actually try to defend. His penance is he gets to be overwhelmed each week and monstered by opposition key forwards Dees get to add a new young player who is so desperate to play that they do everything right to succeed.

Dees need to be mindful that BBB is a week by week proposition. His body/knees are not up to a full AFL season of footy and restrict his movement. Do we keep him for certain matches ? Rest. Managed. Whatever it’s called.

Joe Daniher has an apartment in Brisbane. That’s his main place during the footy season during training blocks. And periodically goes to Byron Bay. It’s not 2+ hrs every day to training. It’s 25 minutes to Springfield. And he’s one player, not a team.

Lobb might have been gettable but we went down the Grundy highway (which coach Goody drove off very quickly !!!)

Question. Is there any club that makes their players drive over an hour to get to training sessions at Cranbourne or sometimes 90 minutes in heavy traffic. Not sure it’s favourable compared with Cats, Bombers, Pies, Blues training arrangements. Caulfield would be a perfect location. Make it happen and like Geelong, made the state government pay for it !!!!

Prior feasibility studies …

Agree. At least say 3pm as the earliest start.

I think Charlie Spargo should make sure he takes a full recovery this time.

Wish we had a forward like Larkey. Competitive. Goalkicker. Strong mark. Limited opportunities in the Kangas team but would be a star in a top team.

Connor Macdonald is exactly the type of youngster MFC needs. Running midfielder. Good goalkicker. Still developing but has the making of a quality mid. 20 possessions to half time is a good day out. That 2021 draft was a super draft. Excellent top 40 !!!

Paul Johnson. Phillip Read. Adam Tomlinson. Bill Nettelfold. Wayne Gordon. Craig Nettelbeck. Shannon Byrnes. Paul Bryce. Paul Rouvray. Jamie Duursma.

It’s a No from me

He was forgettable!!!

Warning. I’m don’t hate all the other clubs. “Unease” with Giants and Suns as AFL Sponsored and gifted clubs. Hatred index rising on: Essendon (hate to really hate) Carlton (from absurdly high to volcano high) Collingwood (from absurdly high to volcano high) Geelong (from extremely high to absurdly high)
