Agree. Davies-Uniacke is a gun youngster. Pace and strength. Contracted until end 2023. Would command $$s if he went out to market and North would probably want a top 10 pick back for him.

In about 2012, a Collingwood supporter invited me as a guest to their Presidents lunch. I rejected. To lie with dogs, you get fleas. Gus will not be seen with any feral cats!!

Agreed. Brayshaw not in the votes 🤨 He was composed, got it plenty and filled many gaps to repel Lions attack. But at least you called it !!

I think it will be “No Change” Only change possible is “in. Rivers Out. Bowey” (he was pushed aside, overran it several times and didn’t look composed with the footy as he did in rounds 1-4. )

FAGAN WAS RIGHT … “LIONS WERE LUCKY THAT THE DEES DIDNT KICK STRAIGHT” … IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ANNILIATION

6. Viney 5. Lever 4. Jackson 3. Brayshaw 2. Jordon 1. Hibberd apologies to Trac, Clarry & Harmesy who were good and mostly everyone else contributed. Langdon and Bowey were very quiet.

Luke , you are the chosen one

Get out the wheelbarrow full of cash

⭐️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Viney. Jackson. Brayshaw. Lever. Jordon ANB could be good but fumbles and his kicking is disappointing

dees pressure but goalkicking is shizzzzzen. Trac is an excellent player. Not elite. Elite players kick the goal. Oliver is an excellent player. Not elite. Elite players kick the goal.

NEAL-BULLEN IS FUC&)&)($$?

Viney is in full beast mode

⭐️Lever ⭐️Viney. ⭐️Brayshaw ⭐️Jackson pressure pressure pressure PHYSICAL AROUND THE FOOTY … BUT need to nail the goals

PRESSURE.

May. Hang your head we had them on the ropes

1st lions pressure and control Daniher dangerous umps are rubbish sparrow good Viney ⭐️ Kozzy Bedford Spargo all missing and Fritsch is lost !!

Nailed it

Another chance for Sam this week. They preferred Mitch Brown over Sam in the last fortnight which reflects where Sam was at. He’s got at least the next month (4 games) to show us what we all desperately want to see. Attack on the contest. Take the mark. Or bring it to ground. Constant movement and demanding the footy. Good accurate kicking. Remove the niceness. Feeling like he belongs. Tough first up v Andrews or Adams so he’ll need to be agile and lead up to the footy. Hope we see a reflection of the 2018 finals Sam.

Bye - what bye ? Seems like we’ve had 10 day break whilst others had 13-14. Nonetheless hopefully there was time for the players and coaches to refresh and reset and get back to the required high standards expected all across the ground. No Gawn. No Tmcd. We need to see what LJ and the Weid can deliver. With chance, comes opportunity!!

Yes that’s the missing stat. His 2nd efforts are A+ rated imv

Fair enough. Go home factor always in play when you draft kids from interstate. But I think players are staying more and more and it’s a relatively low rate of players changing for the “go home” factor these days.

LJ to stay. We’ve given him more than money can buy. A premiership. Something he’ll always remember. Sure he can probably get a million a year elsewhere but he’s bonded with so many at MFC. If we can get to $750k a year over 5 years ($3.75m) that’s plenty of coin. If he leaves for more , that’s $$$cully-like

Surely ScoMo for the AFL job. He’s a gun at marketing and embellishments. Yes he knows nothing about the greatest game but at least he’ll be able to manage questions about the failings !!!

Interesting to read on AFL website that we are 16th for pressure factor in 2022. It seems about right. We do often look to be waiting for the opposition to make an error and turnover. We “lay off” the player and play a zone. Sure it works if the opposition have skill errors and don’t hit the target. But if the run and do hit the target , then they have players free. Seemed to explain how and why Freo and Collingwood ran so freely and overwhelmed us.

Ummmm. “We will drop games and if won’t be a bad thing”. I’m afraid that after 3 straight losses, it is a bad thing.
