Well Tipsters

That's it for another round.

 

I managed to jag 7 this round so go home with the Cadbury's Fruit & Nut.

 

Scea is still out in front and has a two tip buffer.

It's pretty tight after that.

 

Kicks off again on Wednesday.

 

Until next time.

You had your chances there Uncle Alex.

The score review murdered you and the dumb 50 meter didn't help.

 

Reckon you just lack a bit of polish under pressure.

What was Hannan doing? With a minute and 40 seconds to go, he

goes deep to the pocket and kicks it out on the full.

He had Viney spare in the middle.

Just dumb.

 

There's always next week mate.

Well its like this young WILL....was pondering the game on the way home from work the other day ......In the last Q I would have put Jackson on the ball....Gawn to ruck the centre bounce then drop into defence possibly as a loose man though im sure there ruck would have followed......Jackson to play ruck around the ground he is a fierce competitor, and thats all he need to do, Jake Melksham would have gone on to the ball....he is a playmaker, easily one of the best kicks in the team too....and long...2 of the mids would have gone forward....magic mocca Picket i would have given a spell on the ball....he is lightning quick....Goodwin needed to mix it up...if he made any positonal changes i didnt notice, we could have stolen the game, the loss if we need to find blame then its the coach.....

 

I dont ever recall Goodwin making any noticeable positional changes in games....   he relies on you playing ur role....bullocks of course, sometimes you need to mix it up to get a move on...

The AFL fled to Queensland to save the league, and its two native teams are so far producing the state’s greatest year.

But a proud and successful club is in the midst of its worst ever season.

Foxfooty.com.au has assessed and scored every club’s start to the 2020 season, casting an eye over what has gone right and wrong for the sides, for our Mid-Season Report Card.

No not a chuckle....just bored to tears......switched it off mid 3rd quarter and no im not putting my 2 cents worth in......Except to say a twin assasination attempt on the MFC President Barttlet and Simon should be in the process of being orchestrated as i type... to think they locked him in to 2022.....

 

Ho did you notice how effective big Tom Mac was? Sydney need a tall forward....and throw in Leaver and how SLOW is that ex Freo player? not to mention that GWS fella they threw money at too...who by the way cant get a game....A bunch of oxygen theives each and every one of them....polluting the planet......

Jeez Uncle Alex, I feel for you.

That was a tough watch.

 

I'm pretty sure your CEO Gary Pert was responsible to extend Simon Goodwin. 

Was one of the worse things he did I think.

There was no need to rush in.

He should lose his job over it.

 

McDonald and Lever are on about 1.6 million per year between them.

Langdon isn't slow but he's a poor kick.

He absolutely butchers the ball.

 

I reckon the only player who has improved under Goodwin has been Petracca.

 

You wouldn't want to lose to the Crows next week mate.

[ozzydom]

Thanks to the Lions for arresting my free fall, for a while I was heading quickly in Alex,s direction.????

Not sure if this helps TBH.

 

AFL 2020: Melbourne president unloads on ‘soft as butter’ Demons following loss to Port Adelaide

 

Melbourne president Glen Bartlett says Demons players embarrassed the club’s jumper in their loss to Port Adelaide after a performance he labelled “soft as butter” and “insipid”.

In an exclusive interview with the Herald Sun on Friday night, a livid Bartlett demanded an immediate response from a playing group that he said let down the Melbourne colours.

“It was disgraceful. When you pull on a Melbourne jumper, we don’t give them out in Weeties packets,” he said.

“You have to show respect for the jumper and the fans, and apart from a few blokes last night, it was an insipid performance. It wasn’t Melbourne-like and it won’t be tolerated going forward.”

 

In a withering broadside on a group that was seen as a premiership contender, Bartlett said the Demons players had “trashed” the Melbourne jumper with their performance.

 

Melbourne dropped to 3-5 in a horror performance that will heap pressure on coach Simon Goodwin and the entire playing group ahead of clashes against Adelaide and North Melbourne.

Bartlett has been an extraordinary supporter for Goodwin and the club’s football program and rarely been critical of the club’s rollercoaster performances.

 

In the strongest performance of his seven-year tenure at Melbourne, Bartlett told the Herald Sun he had spent the day speaking to Demons people and was still furious by day’s end.

“The coach and the footy guys need to address it. I am sure they had tough review but we just can’t serve up that kind of rubbish for our fans and supporters and for footy in general.

 

“We pride ourselves on a tough, competitive brand of footy and on providing entertainment in the way we play. We were on the right track in the last three weeks and that was as soft as butter.

“Not everyone (was soft) but it’s a numbers game and I was scratching my head as to what I was watching as I am sure were so many Melbourne fans. It was so un-Melbourne-like and I never want to see that again.”

 

Asked if it was the worst loss in his tenure at the club, Bartlett didn’t pull his punches.

“It’s right up there, for sure,” he said.

“Because I rate the list, I rate the work that has been done, I felt like we were back on a good path so it was just inexplicable.

“I have defended our footy department, our coaches and players my whole tenure but I can’t defend that, How can you defend that?

 

“I said at the start of the year we are absolutely going to be a club of no excuses. I don’t want any excuses. I started to hear about a four-day turnaround … Well we have been talking about how fit and ready we are. Don’t talk about that, even as supporters.”

Asked if his comments were a reflection on coach Simon Goodwin, he replied: “Well, we just keep to the program”.

“The immediate thing now is we don’t panic. We react. It’s an emotional game but that was not acceptable at any level.

“It’s a very quick turnaround, and so disappointing on the back of two good wins and pushing the Lions in a game where we should have won. I can’t even put into words how I feel.

 

“The players understand what it means when you wear the Melbourne jumper and we have done a lot even over the last few weeks on that. They completely trashed it last night and they need to address it and they need to take ownership of it. I can’t play full forward. Perty (Melbourne chief executive Gary Pert) can’t play centre half back. There is no excuse for anything but results.”

And the Crows are due for a win....i picked them this week....its the maths....but is my timing right?

 

Look most of them Demons have gone backwards, apart from May and the 2 bomber inports who arnt top off the pops by any means at least there not dragging the rest of them down...

 

Seen May on the ground interview after he changed on Utube...he was a bit emotional over the faaaaaaaade out id be pretty peed off to when promised the world to give up a million big ones to stay on the GC and as captain a lure south with promises of finals and all things roses and cream to end up in a basket case like he has....at least he puts in....a bit loose but gees where are the guys to back him up? i tell ya where...when its Mays job to go up and punch the ball away in the pack 3 other Dee DILLs follow him up so the other team can crumb the spoil...i mean dont the coaches notice? <deleted> basics they just dont get right and this is now turing into a 2 year affair....if there not doing it it means there not listening to the coaches for a reason... Goodwin is NOT getting threw....and id suspect his coaching crew arnt much chop as well.....

 

Ho we have ex Arsnel fitness coach....,he is use to getting teams up in short periods...quite normal in the premier league Simon says....yes well SIMON...soccer aint AFL, they dont throw there body on the line like we do.....AFL is way more physical fella....your not going to com eup 4 days later and star.....

 

And further more i am boycotting football this weeknd.....now you unlce WILL should be happy, they opened up the game....now it looks like second rate school boys playing in the park...at least when it was tighter we had some defensive skills...now its tiggy touchie footy....you know...breath on me and i will get a free kick....

Hes trying to dodge a bullet too......what goes on there is directed from above.....just because Kotch got the Power moving at the Demons its totaly differant, Port have been a top club for 100 years, have enough p[eople around who know how to make it happen... not so the case down there at the G, basket cases for 50 years no one remembers how to win on a regular basis....

 

If we cant start winning more regular lets see how good Bart is, WILL he chop some heads and before the end of the season? ......I dont need a crystal ball....Donald Trump or a clarvoint to tell me with this set up we have at the moment are bottom 4 at best.....if Crows and North started winning oh dear....

[Will27]

Well gang

 

That's it again for this round.

 

Grannysapples goes home with the Mars Bars picking 7.

 

I checked the website as Scea seems to have also picked 7, but I think it comes down to auto and correct tips. I think if you pick 5 or more winners, you don't get the winner for the round you didn't enter your tips on.

 

Scea still leads the way out in front on 52.

 

Don't forget to get them in for tomorrow.

 

Until next week.

[sceadugenga]

If they had paid me a win for the missed tip in the first game I'd be a seven but apparently the fine print nailed me.

Som nam nar....

Forgot To Tip

 

• Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I FORGET TO TIP?

  A: If you forget to tip you will be awarded the away teams for the games you missed, however you will only receive up to a maximum of 5 correct tips. If you forget to tip in the Gauntlet Competition, you will be eliminated from the Gauntlet Competition.
