spirit of norm smith

I watched the match again on Tuesday night. It reinforced how poor they were. Turnovers and missed tackles and slipovers. They are sub standard. Did you see Bail's miss at 3/4 qtr time. Bail must be sub.

Bail and M Jones... how can they keep their places ???????

agree with some prior posts ins. Viney, Jetta, Tyson out. Brayshaw (rested) Bail M Jones Jetta t.mcd dunn Grimes garland lamumba Toumpas Viney Vince Newton Pedersen Vandenburg Gartlett Hogan Howe Spencer Tyson N Jones Int. Cross Fitzpatrick Riley sub. Watts

JIMMY T ... some promising signs agst the Dogs. Time to shine in the next few weeks. He does have the ability to be a very good running midfielder. Exactly what MFC needs.

Much better as a forward. Ready to settle in

Hogan should be this weeks nomination

6 Vandenburg 5 N Jones 4 Vince 3 Cross 2 Spencer... unbelievable 1 Brayshaw

Bail is gone... now

Watch for Darcy Tucker. If there ever was a kid that MFC needed, he fits the order. Tough, skilled, smart, footy knowhow.

White looks a player. ANB progressing for a debut this year.

Barrett is go get f#@/#ed

Jack Fitzpatrick. He has had an average year as a "test case" backman. He played 10 minutes last week, got a headknock and went off for the rest of the game. AND NOW HE GETS PROMOTED. WHAT THE $#/@!

we cannot continue with Howe as a defender. He lacks intensity. He lacks a solid tackle. He is dangerous forward. Let him have 2-3 weeks forward or else he is on the trade table.

no more excuses !!!

We need to kick goals. We need players to kick goals. Our forward line does convert. I think Howe as a half forward or deep 3rd forward (like Gunston) would be the go. He is wasted down back.

Assume we end up per current ladder. Prestia & Suns 2nd round pick #20 traded for Demons 1st round pick #4 & 3rd round pick #40 Prestia and picks 20 & 22

Yes get the Griff ...

agree Jimmy T is struggling to adapt.

Tacking is pathetic. Local footy standard.

Watts needs to play full forward and kick goals
