Again where did I mention that I won’t be supporting the club financially? The original post did not say that, my first reply to you did not say that and this post does not say that and yet you accuse me of being childish and pathetic.

Bains, Darcy and KWW.

It will be very interesting to see the crowd number this week, we've played Richmond at the MCG 12 times this century ranging from 57k to 27k with last year's match 56k.

Yesterday was a Hawks replacement game as well, regardless though it was still our lowest home crowd against Hawthorn since 2012, not a good look.

Our home crowds are starting to drop off significantly, yesterday was our lowest home crowd against Hawthorn since 2012 with just 29,555, we got 40,119 last year for the same match.

Learn to read before posting mate, I will still be supporting the club financially, but I will not be renewing my men’s membership until I see actual change in the coaching department. Fortunately it looks like Bevo will be gone by the time renewal comes around. Oh and the club of late is...

If Gordon was around Bevo would've been out year.

I think a big part of the problem is our forward half pressure, the amount of times we kick it straight to the opposition in our forward half and the way we defend kick ins is pathetic. We consistently race the ball forward only to then turn it straight over. That makes it near impossible for...

We were lucky to be in it really, Hawks had 8 more shots at goal at won by 3 goals on expected score… xScore WB: 93 HW: 110 Not sure how the club can sugarcoat this performance.

The coaches stubbornness on using English, Bont, Libba and Treloar in the centre 90% of the time is a huge part of the problem. We smashed them in clearances tonight and look what happened. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you win the clearance, it’s how you end up losing the ones you do.

Two weeks in a row as well, add to that Macrae just 70% game time (team low, except for subs). That’s two players who actually hit targets inside 50 tonight stuck on the bench for long periods of time. Unacceptable.

I will not be giving our men’s program another cent until Bevo is gone.

No he's playing VFL, but he played the last VFL game hence why he is not in the ins.

Ta, have updated on AF.

We (AF) are definitely after middle names, WhiteHartLane23 has sent us a list of thousands of V/AFL players with their middle names. I just need to get round to do a mass import of the new data.

I noticed that in our press release for the team, we didn't list the interchange in alphabetical order (we normally do). INT: James O’Donnell, Jack Macrae, Lachie Bramble, Harvey Gallagher, Oskar Baker, Rory Lobb, Caleb Poulter, Caleb Daniel Lobb, Poulter and Daniel are the last 3 listed and...

Very happy with this, nothing against Mick personally, but it’s clear this was a department that needed permanent change. Coming up to six months now since we sacked Burke and I have to see I’ve been impressed with all the changes. Most importantly we didn’t panic and have slowly and...

Yep, it's been coping pretty well over the last few days, so hopefully the changes made hold up for a while.

Not sure what people are expecting from Macrae, his role has changed. Since being made the sub he's been solid and was excellent in the St Kilda match, hardly a bottom 6 player. For years people complained he was just an accumulator and now that he's not getting 30 disposals a game, people...

Thanks Gibbsy. My next big project will be the VWFL, I've got a couple of leads, but it looks like it will be tough, especially for those early years.

Lobb, Harmes and Gardner are the deals I can't get over, 3 years was ludicrous, 2 at most. Dale, Daniel and Macrae's deals made sense at the time so can't really complain. Dale and Macrae have at least shown that they are willing to accept the criticism and respond. Dale with his ball movement...

OUT: Bramble (Omitted), Daniel (Omitted), Lobb (Omitted), Weightman (Injured) IN: Clarke, Liberatore, Sanders, Ugle-Hagen SUB: Gallagher Harmes stays purely because he is playing a wing role and there is no one else banging down the door for that role. Harmes is not a long term option though.

As always… Expected Score / Actual Score WB: 76 / 71 (-5) FR: 98 / 95 (-3) Expected Margin / Actual Margin: -22 / -24 Centre Bounce Attendance 24 - Richards 22 - English, Treloar 20 - Bontempelli 8 - Macrae 3 - Darcy, Harmes 1 - Garcia, Lobb Ruck Contests (Hitouts / To Advantage / Sharked)...

Despite the loss, we've got to give credit to both Dale and Macrae for responding to their respective criticisms over the last two weeks. Dale with his ball movement and efficiency and Macrae with his defensive pressure. Dale has topped the player ratings in both matches, while Macrae has been...

Hate to say it but Richards in the centre did not work tonight, just didn't have the impact he had last week. Would've liked to have seen Garcia and Macrae get a few more CBAs and even maybe throw West in there for a couple as well. Centre Bounce Attendances 24 - Richards 22 - English, Treloar...

Such as frustrating game, really missed Libba, but our bottom talent was just awful tonight. Gallagher and Lobb in particular and I wasn’t impressed with either of Harmes and Daniel. Darcy was excellent for 3 quarters but was clearly tired in the last, Garcia and West also did some nice things...

Buku's worst quarter for the year, just horrible in that last passage.

I wiill be getting an update from Col this coming week regarding those pre-1965 behinds and will post the findings here. The server issue is being worked on as I type. Our dev has identified what the bottleneck is and is working on a fix ahead of the full rebuild. So there should be a...
