spirit of norm smith

That’s the game in extended form Bing has the microphone

That’s the game in a sentence so far

After watching the Bulldogs and Swans, we do need another 1-2 quick mids to play wing or rotating half forward. Role currently played by Jones or Vandenburg but they don’t have the pace or energy to fill that role. We have the contested bulls. Viney. Trac. Clarry. Gus and Harmes also probably more inside mid. Sparrow and Jordan are strong at the footy. We have the contest covered. It’s the run and carry and spread. We have Langdon but he’s roaming the wing. I’d like a Bailey Smith type to have another burst of pace to get clear. It sounds like a few in this years draft pool but we probably won’t get a first-10 draft pick.

Who’s the sub? Baker again?

Since 1970. Last 50 years. Flower. Career Jakovich. 1991. Farmer. 2000. Schwarz. 1994 Neitz. Career

Jackson is NEARLY here. Clearly his leap at ruck work, 2nd efforts and midfielder agility are huge assets. His marking is generally good. Needs to develop his kicking and get physically stronger. Howard was able to outmark him on numerous occasions just with body position.

Bedford and Pickett together will scare a lot of defenders

Both are from the Sydney academy priority system. Even playing field !!!!

He’s an absolute star. If he could just get his disposal efficiency up, he’d be equal to Dusty Martin. 5 year deal. $4mil. $800k a year. That’s fair. Anything more is probably stretching the friendship.

It was special!!! GOTY

JJ backed up round 1 with another good effort v Saints. Had 20 possessions and 9 tackles. Seems composed and solid with the footy. Still only 20 (December 2000).

Wow. Kozzzzzzzy is so exciting. Just needs to land a few goals that were gettable and back himself. He could kick 5 or 6 one night very soon. His goal in the 2nd quarter should be goal of the week imv

A few years ago we thought he’d be a real star. Then the concussion concerns meant we are lucky to be seeing him on the paddock. Brayshaw was very quiet v Saints. Had 7 touches up to 3/4 time and then a better last quarter. Played wing for most of the night. Had three inside 50s in last quarter. I’d keep him in as the team is performing.

I said it 1000 times. Tomlinson is not a wingman. Despite Mahoney and Goodwin comments. He fits in as a CHB. Good mark. Reads the play. Has endurance to cover the ground. Skilled. Best game for MFC so far. Definitely in the votes v Saints last night.

Goalkicking needs improvement

No change

Yes Hunt was good. Just a few clangers let him down. But his run and carry and competitiveness was good.

Salem. Efficient. His run. His 2nd efforts. Petracca ⭐️ Oliver ⭐️ Tomlinson best game. Controlling across back half. Langdon runs all game. Seriously smart. Pickett for kozzzzzy entertainment 6 Salem 5 Petracca 4 Oliver 3 Tomlinson 2 Langdon 1 Pickett

Ummm. Fritsch could be soooo much better. That’s why are so frustrated. His 2nd efforts are non existent.

We are definitely NOT RUTHLESS

We are not ruthless AT ALL

Who’s teaching the kids

Jackson cannot farrkkkjn kick !!

Soft

Is Brayshaw back next week ?? Need him in the team. oh he’s playing. !! Wtf. He’s just jogging around. 7 possessions
