We must be the number 1 team for giving away free kicks and 50m penalties that result in goals. I can't remember a game where by we have not given goals away for doing something stupid or dumb. Same last year! It's killing us!

Lost in defence said it would be on Wed. We don't have a big bodied defender and we allowed Hawkins space to lead into. Any team who concedes 8 goals in a quarter doesn't deserve to win any games

May ,Weitreing or Mcrae

This game will be won or lost by our defence, if we leak goals it's game over. Menzel always gets hold of us. I think any changes now will be experienced players only.

Don't understand why the Darwin game doesn't start at 4:30, less humid and only a few deg difference, would be far better spectacle.

Yep sure is , win last week and tonight, pies and west coast get rolled and we would have been 2nd. Everytime we play poorly that Jones statement after R23 makes my blood boil. Pay on performance is so suited to Melbourne.

Good thing you guys aren't the FD, Wagner has played just 28 games, let's judge him at 50 , if he gets there.

Well tonight , Sydney is 19 it was 25 there today. As the exposed surface cools by radiating its heat, atmospheric moisture condenses at a rate greater than that at which it can evaporate, resulting in the formation of water droplets. lived in Darwin for ten years and unless you have an evening breeze which in the dry season is rare the grass is always greasy. Gets Greasy at the Gabba too .

Dewy in Brisbane, Sydney, Darwin more to do with mild evening temps in Winter makes the grass extremely greasy when the wind is calm.

10 = C.Curnow

I don't mind the IN's but been no statement made as for lack of hard two way running when this was defined as a problem.

I remember seeing similar footage back in the late 90's we only ran one way. I thought Roosey had beaten it out of us, perhaps Goody been too nice, I like angry Goody let's see what happens at selection. Bring in the Ninger

On the couch , video footage, pretty much shows poor defensive running!

I know what is wrong , we simply don't have enough players who will die for one another, who are prepared to be absolutely spent at the final siren. It's called culture now, but that's the meaning. What I find disappointing is Goodwin is still prepared to play certain individuals who don't or won't do this. Defensively we are lazy, give up, won't chase and leave an inexperienced backline to cope. Until that changes we are not a finals team.

Yep but unfortunately for us long suffering , could change Collingwood for St Kilda sad thing end result likely the same.

Remember this seems like all has been forgotten, almost exactly the same performance Jones: It's a pretty bitter pill to swallow #MFCMedia Jones: The players are hurting as much as our supporters are livid #MFCMedia Jones: The mood has been very flat. Yesterday was out of our control due to our performance on Saturday #MFCMedia Jones: It's a ruthless competition. This is an opportunity to address the inconsistencies in our performance #MFCMedia Jones: Credit to West Coast. They were able to get the job done yesterday #MFCMedia Jones: The last 5 minutes of the Adelaide and West Coast game was very nerve wracking #MFCMedia Jones: The blame falls on our shoulders #MFCMedia Jones: I couldn't be more optimistic about where we are heading though. Hopefully this experience leaves us in a better position #MFCMedia Jones to supporters: We've only got ourselves to blame - the entire result of the year put us in this position #MFCMedia Jones: We'll address those inconsistencies though and get it right. It can be frustrating and disappointing but we'll get there #MFCMedia Jones: You can't underestimate how good Collingwood were and how poor we were in some fundamental parts of our game #MFCMedia Jones on season as a whole: There's definitely been improvement, both individually and collectively#MFCMedia Jones: However, we also know that we've missed an opportunity here. It's a tough lesson to learn#MFCMedia Jones: You can sit back and feel sorry for yourself but you get what you put in #MFCMedia Jones: We'll go away and work hard to give ourselves every chance next season. This will spur us on#MFCMedia Jones on Clayton Oliver: He's pretty stiff to miss out on All Australian selection but I have no doubt he'll be in contention next year. Jones on Jack Viney: He'll be back better than ever next season

This club just depresses me, just seem to find a way to implode, footy is a confidence game and you can't carry players out of form. Hard to fathom tagging players in a team with two wins. Viney is one of very few players who can control a game and win a game from pure desire and grunt, and he spends the half tagging.

Embarassing half , no pressure , too many passengers , you just can't trust this mob , pathetic.

Why does he need to play in the mid field, what's wrong with 5mins per quarter in there and 30 goals at half fwd. I know one thing when the rule change comes in, just the thought of TMac, Melk, Trac, Hoges one on one gets me excited.

I hope he lives up to his potential, but I am concerned that what recruiters considered elite, he now seems to struggle with. We need him to be an A grader because we just can't afford another lost high draft pic One on one he should dominate but struggles to find the space.

Hang on a minute, this kid is a top 2 draft pick, who has been telling anyone who will listen he is going to be the best player in the league from a very young age.He needs to accept that some of this expectation is his doing and hopefully it's not the death of him.. at the moment he is playing like a pick 50.

I often wonder how Clarkson would develop him, I don't see why we need to gift games to him, let him tear p the game apart at Casey for as long as it takes, make him hungry.

I find it hard to fathom that we have liniment sniffers on here who believe this kid is too good to be dropped. I was in favour of a week at Casey after the Sun's game. This KID is not helping the team or himself at the moment. He is nowhere near breaking a game open. He is going backwards.

Umpires are genuinely defined as soft ex juniors, so in reality I can understand how they could be easily comprimised and intimidated by feral one sided crowds. After all your mum can't go everywhere with you!

I did see TMac win that game against WC last year , in my opinion to have X factor you hit the scoreboard consistently and say to yourself that guy's a bloody freak! We may have different definitions.
