Head scratcher if true. We basically fielded our best back 6 yesterday minus Jetta and we conceded the most points since round 3. Defence isn’t the problem.

If Gawn’s performances aren’t enough to inspire the team right now I’m not sure what will. Tireless and Herculean performances each and every week. Not sure how to feel about Max being captain next season. The man leads already and some don’t follow. Just incredible numbers he’s putting up.

Yes Skuit, it looked like several times we were attempting to score a try and it was so frustrating to watch them waltz it the other way for easy goals. 3-9, oh boy!

Is he 27?

Just tuned in to On The Couch and the first words I heard Jonesy say “We shoot ourselves in the foot by just butchering the footy in all phases of offence.”

Collingwood’s work rate and pressure was through the roof in the first half especially in the first quarter. They registered 7-8 smothers in the first quarter alone. It indicates the mind set, hunger and desire. It immediately put us on the back foot, we did well to a degree to fight back and make a game of it until half way through the last but you can’t be chasing tail all day. How often do we persist with the dinky little kicks that offer no purpose? And they just hang in the air forever. Really frustrating and please stop handballing to a teammate that’s piggybacking an opponent ffs. They punished our errors like a good team should. ?? to TMac’s miss to bring us within 14. Not saying we would have won the game but it would have made their fans poop their dacks for a while at least. Watching Max is pure pleasure, not much more you can say really. Even some Pies’ fans recognised greatness today.

They haven’t put us away yet, we are barely hanging on but still in the game. Trac has been a beast so far. Almost our best, he’s working extremely hard. We need more of that work rate from others.

It’s terrible binman, it’s happening weekly to OMac. Our own turn on him during games, I was at the scratch match against the Pies in the preseason and a group of young Pie fans were hurling nasty abuse at him every time he came near us. No other player was singled out. It seemed they were there solely for that reason. Simply appalling, can’t imagine what gets trolled out behind a keyboard. He destroyed Darling a few weeks ago and we hear nothing on his good performance, maybe a handful of positive posts. We keep reading and hearing if Lever and May are fit OMac doesn’t play, guess what, they weren’t available for most of last year and he performed admirably all the way to a prelim. We are sitting 3-8 with many performing at a below par level for one reason or another yet OMac has his own there’s the door thread. Seems unfair to me.

Great team effort with lots of positives today. Good to see dominance of inside 50s converted into goals.

Awesome, is Hogan lining up?

Rest? Mystery injury? A bit unusual we didn’t get a report on the MFC website about Friday’s training session. I believe they trained at Casey, probably a closed session.

I read this morning the AFL has come out and said there were 7 incorrect decisions during the game. The count should have been 24-0. Also, I’m wondering if anyone else saw Phil Davis give Betts a high 5/congratulatory tap after Betts kicked a freakish goal late on? When players were moving back to position I’m almost certain I saw Davis do that and I thought at the time if that was a Melbourne player I’d be livid. Curious, is that good sportsmanship to recognise greatness on the spot or is that best left for after the game?

Curious, why wouldn’t they list OMac as one of the four emergencies for Monday if that’s the case?

Pffft, Tom Lynch a very late out for Crows. Comes back for one game and torches us.

Bingo!

That’s not Demon Brew! Gone.

Any ‘landers know when the final squad is announced?

Indeed Dame, as useless as floppy disks, pagers and pay phones.

I just don’t get it, they showed 3 angles which were inconclusive to me anyway, yet they decide it’s a behind. Then we get another angle where we can see it’s a clear goal. It really is unprofessional.

Lol, goal review going well....pathetic.

You can have the honours Luci.
