JKH... 9 disposals. 4 fumbles. 3 turnovers. OMG. Retained. Stretch. 19 possessions. Run and carry. 5 inside 50s. Dropped. Goodwin must be concussed. JKH better perform !!

ins. O.mcd lewis pedersen bugg outs. Jkh spencer smith hogan Frost to ruck Ped to go fwd Watts to ruck All of us to pray !!! the gods don't favour us right now

Had to beat dockers and tigers I see us struggling to make the top 8

Watched the game AGAIN on replay. Oliver was a bull but ineffective in disposals. 30 plus possessions but should use handballs more wisely 10 turnovers... ouch. He can be a Star but needs to run and deliver. The kid must be taught how to use his power. His extract to GARLETT showed his ability.

Toughness ... yes Skilled ... yes Ability to stand up under pressure... yes MFC should absolutely grab him

Thats 8 players on long term injury list and it is only round 5. Gawn and Spencer are the big losses given our depth frailty was in the ruck.

Jack Hannath ... probably unlucky not to get a rookie spot. Would have been handy right now

Hibberd Hunt Watts were our best by a mile Frost and Jetta were the best defenders Joeboy... good summary but please amend this one Hogan... Brain? marking? Heart? he was very very poor

600 - Hibberd. Did it all. Kicked it alot and creative. Marked it. Tackled. Nice goal. 5- Watts. Courageous. One bad mistake but keep us in the game. Great 2nd efforts. More dangerous as a fwd. 4- Jetta. Solid. Good smart defending 3- Hunt. Run run run. Needs to fix disposals... but great goal 2- Frost. Tried and defended all night. 1- Oliver. Accumulated the footy. 15 handballs to no one though. Did one special clearance to Garlett. -5 jkh... delist now. small and fumbled. -4 vince...now soft. Needs to get forward. -3 tyson... poor disposal. ineffective handball. accumulates but not damaging

Now we add Spencer and Tim Smith !@wtf. Brayshaw another head knock. Unbelievable. Garland season GAWN 12 weeks J.Smith 9 weeks Mckenna 5 weeks Vandenburg 5 weeks Wagner 3 weeks Spencer, Smith to be reported and Brayshaw to be advised. Thats 9 down.

Ins. Pedersen Bugg Lewis Kent Outs. T Smith inj Spencer inj Jkh ANB Jetta T.mcd. Hibberd Salem Frost Melksham Stretch Viney Hunt Petracca Watts Kent Garlett Hogan Vince Pedersen Lewis N.Jones Bugg Oliver Harmes Tyson

yes. Pedo IN next week.

Showed 3 or 4 good passages but went missing for long patches. Clearly on one leg. He will be very very very good.

Good: Hibberd Frost Watts Melksham Next 15 ok to average with one mistake each. Poor: Jkh (2 stats, 4 fumbles/drop marks), Gartlett, Hogan Tell Clayton Oliver to KICK IN. 16 posessions. 13 handballs. 4 effective handballs. get BUGG back !!!!

last 2 goals to Tigs a mcd bad fumble harmes stupid out of bounds

Hogan poor Viney poor Salem ineffective Vince goes backwards BUT Hibberd good Jones good Oliver is a bull Tackling is keeping us in it TOO MANY HANDBALLS ... get it and kick it. Wet weather footy.

Jack is very poor. Missed tackles. Missed targets. Too slow right now.

I think MFC will rest Angus Brayshaw for at least 4 weeks now. They must be very very careful and consult with the experts.

my 23 April top 10 Brander Darcy Fogarty Ballenden (Bris) Stephenson Rayner Hayes Worpel O'Brien Higgins Garner Spargo, Clavarino, Coleman-Jones, Hewson, Lachlan Fogarty, Clark, Balta, Parish, Krueger and Davies-Uniacke rank as top 20 prospects. Lets see after the championships...

Dees could do with some more class in the midfield. Joel Garner reminds me of Andrew Gaff and would fit nicely on a wing alongside Stretch/Viney for centreline. He is likely to be available at pick 10-13 ... our likely region.

Bugg impressive. Not sure why he was dropped. Far too good for VFL FOOTY Ferreira is one to watch... rookie chance. Maynard will give it a shake very soon. Quite an athlete Brayshaw is now a big concern... the curse of our 1st rd draft picks
