Lol, Essendon robbed a certain goal by a non-review. Ball punched back in to play after it was a foot over and Suns just continued on with the game. Aren’t they allowed to stop play for a review?

Rendered emotionless after last night, so were many others at Marvel after the 20 minute mark or so of the last. I think Jones undid some of his good work in the last month by constantly burning teammates, could have easily given a quick handball to teammates running by on numerous occasions rather than just blazing. This game of hot potato has to stop. Basic skills have just vanished. Why? The bad signs were evident half way through the second, they looked stuffed, hence those tired kicks forward from the wing to....no one really. We were smashed in inside 50s also, not much any defence can do when no one blocks the space in front of opposition forwards. Just my observations. A couple of small pluses, Petty has quick hands and could turn out a very good player for us. Trac right up there with our most consistent and better players the last 6 weeks or so. How Marvel got voted World stadium of the Year is beyond me. Pockets of Level 3 smelt like Port Melbourne Pier, seriously needs a clean up from birds.

A terrific and thrilling finish to the race Macca. Crystal Ocean was mighty in defeat but champs almost always find a way. Enable was trapped wide early and Dettori was forced to go back with only 3 behind her. Definitely the highlight of the night after what I witnessed at Marvel.

Change in program classification perhaps for next week.

The 20 odd members browsing this thread right now is about on par with the amount of people inside this wonderful stadium at the minute.

Thoughts on Liam Baker from the Toiges? I read a few clubs are circling and asking the question as he weighs up his future. Been shifted to the backline the last couple of weeks due to Richmond’s depth up forward.

I couldn’t stand another Richmond flag for family reasons, cocky bunch they are, I totally agree with you though FITB.

Sheesh, lucky the Pies have the Suns next week. What a hammering so far.

Great point Luci, forgot about Ratts. It might be a match between two lowly placed teams but you’ve just highlighted an element of intrigue in the coaching battle.

Membrey destroyed us last time because we had one key back in that day and that was Frost. Throughout that game at various stages Membrey was manned by Jetta ( before going off injured), Hibbo, Hore and even Fritta. We were all over the shop defensively that day. A lot of us lamented only going in with the one key back that day. May is a big loss, O Mac coming in might enable Lever to play his usual intercept role, something he started doing well again late last week. The R5 loss to the Saints was embarrassing, they ran riot inside our defensive 50. I believe we can win this one, but more importantly I hope the coaches have worked out how they smashed us last time and respond accordingly.

Was catching up on some news and read 4 young kids aged between 10-14 went on a 9000km epic road trip in a 4WD from QLD to NSW without their parents knowledge. The article became interesting when i read the below.... The 4WD was first sighted early on Sunday morning in the small town of Banana, west of Rockhampton, where the group was allegedly involved in a petrol theft incident.

It’s guaranteed we’ll start kicking goals now and miss out on the top 8.

Wow, a complete 180 degree turn. I can’t get into the article. Does it go into any detail about the demise? I accept injuries play a part to an extent where we haven’t had the right balance all season and having to use players that perhaps aren’t up to it or not ready, but those stats also tell me the opposition has done its homework on our strong points and we have struggled to counter for various reasons.

Well, it’s interesting to read on the club’s website training is no longer at Goschs today due to a change in the players’ schedule. Maybe they have all been assigned to go find one or they are secretly locked away at Marvel practising. Any guesses as to what the ‘change’ in schedule means?

We were in an offensive play LDC, Gus was used as the last link in a defensive clearance through the middle of the ground. His long left foot kick inside 50 just went over the head of a leading Fritta and was marked by Jetta. Yeo was nowhere near Gus in the first place, just hanging out on the outer wing where the ball eventually ended up for his goal. There was no way Gus could have gotten to him in time. I thought he did a terrific job all day and a bit harsh to say the Yeo goal was due to Gus not running back hard enough. Unfortunate his kick missed Fritta. Liked the left field move of using him as tagger. Maybe he’s gained some much needed confidence after taking on one of the league’s best and doing a fairly good job at it.

Training reports on here during the week initially had the boys not doing practice at goalkicking, shortly after it was reported they came out early in the morning and practiced before the session. Surely it would be better to incorporate it between drills and after the session where the legs are a little heavy rather than when players are as fresh as daisies. Wouldn’t we better off in front of goal if we prepared properly for it? You know...’Play like you train’. Very frustrating as a supporter to see so many simple shots missed all year. If we are frustrated how would the boys feel? It saps confidence, how many of you actually hold your breath without realising when watching some off our chains towards goal? I nearly passed out from one passage, not knocking their effort it’s there, but sometimes they make it so hard for themselves to score a goal.

Possibly our best 3 games for the year are Eagles X2, Crows and we fall agonisingly short. Liked the fightback from 30 odd down, used it smartly forward of centre most times but once again missing goals equals a lack of scoreboard pressure. Add in some errors at crucial times and good teams will find a way to punish you. A bit left field to use Gus as a tagger on Yeo, played well i thought. In all honesty, the next 5 weeks can’t come quick enough.

Seriously just keep Fritsch inside 50.

Hunt might not have big numbers but he’s having a very efficient game up forward. Bring it home Dees!

Can we sub Jurrah in?

Looks like he’s running with Yeo, Yeo also 9 touches only.

Hunt is working extremely hard so far. He’s covering a fair bit of territory.
