El Magnificence to take on Nature Strip again in the listed A.R. Creswick Series Final ( R7) this Saturday at Flemington over 1200m.

Wow, I got sucked in as well!! Well played Pew!

No lack of work rate from you Skuit. The Lever and Kent reasons, classic.

If we guess correctly will you tell?? Sloane.

Goodwin feeling angry and frustrated wasn’t only post match. Lewis stated we weren’t playing how we wanted to play, hence Goodwin’s frustration throughout the game. Lewis also said we had 3-4 players that he felt were playing they way we wanted to play. To me it sounds like Goodwin tried to convey a message at quarter time, half time and three quarter time and it obviously didn’t get through to the players for one reason or another. You simply can’t eject someone that’s not pulling their weight on game day. We await selection with great interest.

That’s one way to stop being injury prone. They have a magic formula over there keeping gun players fit. Scary though, if it happens.

His pass to Fritsch in the first quarter, exhibit A.

Maybe we could do with more KPD and maybe we couldn’t. Your list highlights that other teams have a backline that’s been together for a number of years, some good ones and some not so good. Unfortunately we make do with what we have at the moment but they aren’t the issue in my opinion. Sicily is not key position.

You have to feel for Japan. What a comeback by Belgium. With seconds remaining and Japan having a corner, they left themselves vulnerable at the back. I realise they wanted to win the game but to leave themselves exposed to a 5 on 3 counter attack starting from the Belgian keeper is a little perplexing. Brazil too clinical for Mexico. What a tournament!!

No knock on your opinion Febes, picturing that ladder if your close with it gives me nightmares. Hodge has signed one more year with the Lions i believe?

Brisbane to win more games than us from here? So glad they recently opened a Sporting Globe Bar & Grill 5 minutes up the road. Membership to good use then.

Anyone for Kent back in after one VFL game?

When did we hire Brett Burton?

I’d like to see both Garlett and Spargo in the team this week. Spargo is very good at reading ball of packs and Garlett has enough runs on the board. Yeah, Jeffy’s form isn’t screaming of a recall but just bite the bullet I say. Humid conditions and picking both might work.

Gawn- Better than Grundy.

Yep. I like your give me strength line. Why not ruin the game more by introducing VAR for centre bounces only. An eye in the sky might deter players from the blocking and gut punching. Concentrate on the pairings prior to the bounce. It would have taken 5-10 seconds to relay the message down to the central ump, no longer a delay than a recalled bounce since the other 2 geniuses missed it.

I’m surprised at myself for getting angry over this. Just when I started to calm down. It’s not a joke anymore as it’s no longer funny. I suppose Steele threw his arms out saying he didn’t touch him. Is this the same schmuck that a threw a cheap one at Max’s back the first time we played them at Etihad 8 weeks ago?

If Petty is omitted would the FD consider Pedersen as a replacement? Pedersen has spent the last two weeks as a defender at Casey. I’m not suggesting we should bring him in to replace Petty, more curious to see what other people think. He would add experience to an extent, although I don’t think he’s played back all that often in the past. We have Frost and judging by some posts people will have hearts in mouth when he’s near the ball. Keilty is another option but god help him if the ball is allowed to come in like yesterday.

It’s becoming extremely difficult to defend Tyson lately. One passage of play typified his game yesterday. During a centre bounce in the first quarter he lined up on the wing ( southern side) standing right next to his opponent. He wasn’t even aware the ball had been bounced because he was looking down at the ground at the time. Inexcusable and poor concentration. His opponent had taken off into the square, only then did Tyson realise he better get on his bike but way too late. The guy lacks leg speed as it is and yet Goody persists with him there. Of course the hit-out came southern side and his opponent with a 3 metre gap won the ball and kicked it forward resulting in a shot at goal for them. I don’t like to pot players but this only an observation. I was keeping an eye out for Tyson on the wing to determine what we actually gain from it.

Excuse my ignorance. Can rookie listed players be traded?

Anyone notice Seb Ross having a picnic as a spare man inside our attacking 50 during the 3rd? What was done about it? Nothing. Perfect time to throw Trac deep forward and make Richardson react. At worse, Ross would have been moved as he wouldn’t be able to match Trac for strength, instead he was allowed to sweep the ball away constantly to the wings.

That is a bad sign......for us.

Goodwin refuses to coach. I saw one move today and it was pointed out in the game thread also. Fritch moved to loose man in the back during the second quarter and he was our best forward at the time. Just wow! The amount of mismatches at the end of St Kildas end to end plays were comical. Hibberd/Jetta/Lewis trying to defend taller players in the air. How many times did they run through us from a kick in? Our structures whatever they are went to shite again and nothing....again. I don’t know if T Mac was 100% right to play but he did. He’s our best defender from the 22 today and it wouldn’t have hurt to throw him back to stabilise the younger talls and lead them. Instead, let’s start him on the wing over and over. I assumed Goody had Roosy on speed dial. I was wrong. Richmond were struggling to overcome the Saints a few weeks ago yet Hardwick threw Vlastuin forward and changed the game. If you want to see what a captain’s game should look like see Max Gawn.

Yep. So many dejected faces here. A lot of bleeding in the stands.
