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

projection based on hogan & hibberd in for mfc. Hannan & Weideman to go to Casey. Hillard* Hutchins* Keilty White O.mcd gardiner* Jkh Gent briggs* Hannan T.Smith Scott* Kennedy Weideman Hulett Pedersen Brayshaw Trengove Maynard Morris* Ferreira* Fritsch* lok# development league: johnstone filopovic m.king inj. gawn mckenna wagner garland vdh smith; susp: lewis

Wagner family relieved after his thumb and shoulder were confused by MFC medical team. Agree with prior posts: Out of BEST 22 Max Gawn 12 wks Jordan Lewis suspended 1 more week. Rest are fringe/best 33 players.

just read AFL injury update... no Josh Wagner. Miracle recovery from 4 weeks. Maybe he just is tough or amputated his thumb !@!@! Or just a mistake?? anyone more informed??

agree MRP is a joke LeCras deserves min 1 wk

So glad when Saints chose McCartin rather than Petracca. Dees were elated. Petracca has only played one season after his knee injury so he is only a rookie really. Huge upside. Hopefully he is trained to attack when it presents (like his goal in the 4th v Dockers).

After todays game ... 1..Hogan IN Weideman OUT 2. Hibberd IN Hannan OUT Small forwards ok with Garlett Kent Petracca Anb. Hibberd strengthens defence. Melksham should play wing/half bk. He has played too deep in defence which is not his position. He was brought in for pace and midfield burst. Brayshaw/Kennedy/Trengove on the cusp. jetta t.mcd HIBBERD salem frost hunt stretch viney vince kent watts petracca garlett HOGAN anb Spencer Tyson Jones Oliver bugg harmes melksham emerg. trengove t.smith kennedy

Yes agree 1..Hogan IN Weideman OUT 2. Hibberd (if fit) IN Melksham OUT 3. Either Brayshaw/Kennedy IN Hannan OUT jetta t.mcd hibberd/melksham salem frost hunt stretch viney vince kent watts petracca garlett HOGAN anb Spencer Tyson Jones Oliver bugg harmes brayshaw/kennedy emerg. trengove t.smith brayshaw/Kennedy

6 Watts 5 Hunt 4 Garlett 3 Spencer 2 Petracca 1 Oliver

hibberd gets the back flank and vince moves forward. agree we lost it today with poor defensive transition in the end.

been paying players over $$ for the past 4-5 years to stay competitive. AFL should try to supplement if possible or they will struggle either off or on field

at full strength, Dees win. Minus Hogan Lewis & Gawn, its 50/50 even at the G.

lamumba x trengove x trade to crows for pick 117 garland x pedersen x vandenburg x to the rookie list m.white (r) x 4 open spots reflects strength picks 11, 29, 47 plus a Trade/free agent pickup.

updated... predictions only

Gawn backup Spencer backup Frost in an emergency then we are fu#/#÷$d

this loss particularly hurts because we did the hard yards yet everything went against us. lots of positives jayden hunt is a star Jonesy is a star oliver is going to be a-grade watts has a bigger heart than many demonlanders know billy stretch is developing nicely we lost because 1. our inaccurate kicking 2. cats accurate kicking 3. last 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter and first 7 minutes of the last. 4. maxy gawn getting injured 5. umpires still puzzling me 6. we are still developing and learning through how to win 7. missing Lewis and Hogan hurt us anb's backwards kick was a shocker but he will learn (hopefully)

Dockers beat Dogs by 16 points. Dubdee start eating humble pie. Apology accepted.
