I’ve loved watching both teams at stoppages, the amount of blocking they do to support/release their teammate is fantastic. Just shows how easy we could make it for ourselves with Max and our Mids with some quality coaching.

Apart from the Brisbane game....

Hahahaha! Exactly right mate, it’s not the lack of skill / execution of the game plan, it’s a couple of mates having a laugh during the quarter time break. give me an absolute spell

Does Hannan have much of a tank? He has some serious wheels, would love to see him tag Hill, I like the ball in his hands as well

Midfield has been absolutely spanked! Harmes should have played on Bontempelli the entire game, why he is wasted in defence I’ll never know. well played Dogs, you taught the Demons an absolute lesson today, Plenty of learnings!!!!

He’s still working through the “learnings” from rounds past.

Good to see they have brought in Spargo to assist Tmac in the ruck.....

It would be hard to play consistent football when your weekends were as big theirs....

[censored] you Melbourne Demons!

Couldn’t agree more mate! If the mids and Maxy are on key, we should have a good win.

Did you see Horse’s disbelief when told what Clarko said? Haha! He was furious, I love seeing the hawks in the bottom 4, I hope the cats join them next year for a very long stint down there.

All of Brisbane is jumping on the Lions bandwagon as the Broncos are unbearable to watch. Should be a cracker of a game.

Hi Jack, OMAc/Goodwin said in his post match press conference that the team will be based at Twin Waters at Maroochydore. They may have picked there due to our preseason training camp held their in January/February.

Would have been a great game as a neutral supporter, i had to stand up for the last 3 minutes. I really wish the Salam back line experiment ends and we put him as a high forward, loved seeing him up and ground and his creativity. Love having the ball in Bennell and Hannan’s hands. The two forward option liked great before Tmac lost his eye, would still like Brown in as well to make a 3. Skills slightly improved still MUCH work to be done. umpiring was frustrating as always, their whistles clearly don’t work in our forward 50 for HTB or throws and blatantly dropping the ball.

I’ll be very interested to see who replaces Tomlinson on the wing?

This is the first time I have ever turned off a Melbourne game!. I can’t watch this [censored] anymore, it just ruins your weekend. no skill, no structure, no [censored] idea!

Well the GC Suns have lost their first game away from home. Dew/Cochrane will start the priority pick talk now! Usually starts around round 7.

Ratton has got the saints playing a great brand a footy, Roughead has the saints forward line sorted (what could have been). i always liked Kent as a footballer, he’s started this season strongly.

He’ll keep doing it while the umpires call it unfortunately.

He needs to start putting them on notice, come in and preform (forward pressure, running patterns, blocking for one another) or you’re out of the side. I’d love to see some offensive for once, swing the pockets, block for one another to create space. Two forwards drag their defenders up the field to create space... give us something different....

Here’s a radical thought: I honestly don’t know why he doesn’t play all 3, tmac, Weid, Brown, Kozzie, Fritter, Melksham with Hannam/Hunt on the bench, with Trac and Brayshaw rotating throwing there with Hannan/melk in the guts. If we’re going to continue to bomb it in, give the big boys a chance, just instruct them to not all jump at the same ball. we cannot continue to do the exact same thing every week.

I don’t want to sack another coach, but the board signed off on his contract and he needs to be held accountable for the teams performance. Personally I’m hoping for a Hardwick situation where it all clicks and he comes good. He needs to change to get us better at: - forward line entries have/has been disastrous for two years now - forward pressure needs serious work to lock in the ball and play his chaos ball - Needs to rotate midfield bulls and some outside class at bounces, not 4 bulls in at once - Use Macy’s taps to our advantage, we lose momentum when the taps end up in the oppo’s hands - Learn how to wrangle back momentum when we’re up against it The players appear to love Goodwin, that’s only a good thing, I’d love to see some enthusiasm in the box, the continuous whites in his eye is getting tiresome.

Our forwards defensive pressure was poor again, look how many turn overs the cats got on us for pressuring back. Why do we always have multiple players run past the ground ball, for then the opposition to mob it up!

It’s frustrating out only goals come from player brilliance and not structure. The boys looked confused inside 50, they don’t know where to run, where to stand, where to block etc. this has been happening for two years now!. Salam is absolutely wasted down back, he should be a high forward or is leading up and delivering to the forwards.
