T Mac and Frost walked out together, warmed up together for a while, walked back in together chatting the whole way. Backline Bros tonight?

Too easy @Macca Here’s my Midweeker, plenty of time on the train to find something decent hopefully. Netherlands Eredivisie at 04:45 Thursday NAC Breda v Feyenoord Winning Margin- Feyenoord by 2+ goals $2.15

Have we ever lost a game on a Wednesday?

It was a gutsy performance that night, simply ran out of legs after dominating for the first 3 quarters and should have been up by more than 20 at 3 quarter time. We also lost Spencer during the second quarter and Mr Watts was rucking again. Just make it tough again for them where they have to earn their goals all game. Toiges fans have become arrogant, want to see them shuffling in their chairs for as long as possible.

Are we certain KK has concussion like symptoms? Some rumours doing the rounds it’s the neck issue giving him trouble again.

Too right. Nicknamed him ‘The Bread Man’ thinking he will deliver the goods at some stage last year. Hasn’t shown much, even before his injury unfortunately. Wish him luck, but slim chance of making it.

Which second quarter incident are they talking about? The injury report video that shows the Saints player diving across Nev’s leg happened in the first quarter.

Of course I did, apologies for leaving out the if he was available. That’s the problem, even some marginal depth players aren’t available and he would be playing imo right now if fit to try and save his career.

I’m still hanging onto the fact our FD has tried to make adjustments Wise over pre season. No doubt we have become the hunted, maybe Goody hasn’t had the desired players available to adjust for one reason or another and has made do with what’s available. Bottom line is we have a game tomorrow night, everything seems against us and it would be some sort of win if we can do it. As frustrating as it is right now, I don’t think many on here are going anywhere.

I don’t know how in depth our review was or wasn’t, but I do agree with @Lucifer's Hero on the point of the PF loss is very similar to our losses to Dons and Saints this year in the way the opposition has set-up against us. Watching the PF live at Optus all I can remember early from the game is seeing two of their quickest players in Rioli and Ryan setting up defensively on a flank each just outside our defensive 50 forcing our defenders trying to clear down the middle a lot where turnovers were created resulting in scores for them. The Dons hardly started Tippa and Fantasia inside 50 in Round 3 where you would have thought they would be most dangerous. It seemed they were used as high half forwards/wings at the time using their speed to block our rebounds and counter us quickly. Again on Saturday, Billings and Gresham were used the same way. Might be just coincidence, but simply from an observational point of view the similarities are striking.

Might be scraping the bottom of the barrel now, but JKH wouldn’t be the worst choice on a wing right now. He was highlighted many times late last year for his two-way running and doing the ‘Team’ thing, something that’s clearly missing right now.

Was told May injury confirmed on SEN this morning. A further 6 weeks, did anyone hear this?

The title needs more names added. Does the mid-season draft include assistant coaches and fitness gurus?

If you look at post #125 by AtboG Macca is listed as Defensive. ??‍♂️

On the MFC site A F under the coaches section it has McCartney listed as Defensive Coach and Chaplin as Backline Coach. Does defensive mean on all areas of the ground?

Can the players that had post-season surgeries be excused from returning unfit? Genuine question, not sure what programs they would be on while recovering in the off season unless all they did was drink.

If true, Gawn must have been talking to himself during his B&F speech.

Those little shoves happen 20-30 times a game without a free kick being awarded. The look of confusion on the players’ faces says it all really.

Was just about to post the same. Did he pay that as a push? Kidding me, right?

Article on AFL.com has him cleared to play after scans yesterday.

This thread is about to ignite. Jetta hurt himself against the Saints? Most saw him struggling prior.

Let’s try our hardest to stay positive until quarter time at least. Put your coaches hats on and discuss how we can win. Bring in some fresh legs for starters, I’ve read suggestions we should go man on man. Can we sustain that for 4 quarters? Toiges have a plethora of zippy small forwards that’s why Hunt goes back for me especially if Jeffy comes in. He was good on Motlop Round 1. At least he has the speed to keep up and make it harder for them. Weid and T Mac need to clunk a few early and get some confidence providing our delivery is much improved. Max and Nank should have an interesting battle. The Nank likes to push forward and is capable of kicking at least a couple. If they are to beat us at least make them earn their goals for the entirety.

Curious. What would the plan be after Saturday? Recovery yesterday, review today, a few laps and kick to kick tomorrow? I read Viney has been cleared after scans on his hand yesterday. Some good news there I suppose.

Fair enough, if that makes us better. Not sure we will see T Mac in the backline anytime soon, there have been plenty of chances for him to be swung back but the coaches refuse to. I’d like to see Petty get another game, not sure if they will bring him in this week though.
