Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

They are well primed to gobble up our kicking to contests....could be ugly

What I'd like to see this week:

In: Bell, Out: Joseph (Joseph should never play again. Has no idea and awful under pressure)
In: Laidler (although reports of discipline and bad game in magoos isn't great), Out: Duigan (thought Boots game was better and Boots has more potential)
In: Buckley, Out: McLean (thought McLean was back to his worst against Tigers. Looked appallingly slow)
In: Rowe or Mitchell, Out: Casboult (I don't think Hammer and Casboult can work together. Hammer FINALLY marking very well but still needs to kick straight. Casboult was lost at sea on Thurs. Would like a lead up forward like Rowe or Mitchell. No idea of their NBs form but can't be worse than Casboult!!)

Levi had a shocker in his 8th game. He is our only gorilla forward. At this stage of his career we need to give him 2 or 3 games in a row before making a decision

This is just made up dribble. He was involved in plenty of passages of play that led to shots on goal. Plenty. He cleared a path for the forwards all night. All night. He was out marked once - the rubbish mark they paid to Rance in the last. As a simple example the two snaps Yarran had late in the game were a direct result of Hammo bringing the ball to ground. The second of which resulted from Gibbs kicking to a two on one against Hampson. He spoiled, Jeffy collected and Yarran missed. His marking and contesting opened the game up for us in the second half.

Your focus on him is ridiculous.

Watch the game again. Or sit next to someone who understands football and ask them to explain it to you.

Heard Hammer had his appendix out over the weekend and will be missing for up to 3 weeks.

Can we get Ratts back to coach - just for this week ? He knows how to beat the Pies.......

Oh bugger....

Richmond too...

Its amazing that McLean plays badly for half a game and people want to drop him. He was easily our best player in the second half of the season last year and even in Thursdays game he was instrumental in getting the Blues back into the contest. IMO ... he would have to play 3 very bad games in a row to drop him. One of our best and most consistent players.

As for Hampson ... I thought he did ok ... certainly would not be dropping him ... 8 marks in the forward line and the ball wasn't delivered that well either. He did enough to warrant more games. Kreuz was also good around the ground. I would leave Casboult there a bit longer. He really responded at the end of last year and needs some time and confidence.

I was not impressed with Joseph ... I thought the MC made a big mistake naming him ahead of Bell.

Assuming Yarran is not suspended ... I suspect the MC will make only 1 change ... Bell for Joseph. IMO Laidler should come back for Duigan but can't see it happening.

We can only hope that the players and the coach have learnt something from their mistakes and we see a more dynamic and winning performance against Collingwood.

Do not let Russell play one of his very rare good games.

That's if he's selected of course.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

That article made me cry. I missed all the coverage. hard to fathom how fragile we are sometimes.

Laidler back, lest he lose all his confidence..no doubt he'll fire up in the Ones..
and..hopefully Jiffy, Yaz & Walks kick straight. Hampson is great for grabs..I think he should keep passing it on though, hopefully to Gibbs, Army or Betts.

Wow Synbad's comments take up a lot of room per page in this thread and he even uses the term 'cock-teaser'. BUT after actually reading through it, he is truly competing with my 6 month old for the amount of dribble produced.


Want a cold teething ring?

We. Must. Select. Bell.
Why. Do. They. Continue. To. Select. Joseph?!?!

People here excited about a 7 season ruckman... who cant ruck yet... didnt capitalise on the score board. as a forward...made some crucial errors AGAIN!!...and laid not one tackle in a game of footy.....

Were all allowed to see things differently.. but for me to feel encouraged he has to do alot better than that...!!!
