If Charlie doesn't play, its L.Young yet again... just shows how pathetic and predictable we have become!

No Plan B whatsoever, no depth to cover for injured players except keep bringing the same Hacks that don't get you any results!


Our Season is on the Line... Make a Bold move.... Send McGovern Forward or heck even Weitering. Playing Martin or Kennedy out of the Goal Square will not work because its been tried so many times before and it failed!

If Young plays it won't be forward (surely).
They'll try someone else, hopefully Kemp.

I don't mind Young playing in defence today. He can hopefully curtail Chol. Leaving Weitering to take Dear or to play the intercept role.

I’m sure we have all done the ladder predictor, and we in Barney rubble even if we win today. We’re in shite creek if we lose.

No excuses today.

Just gotta win, otherwise it’s a season wasted.

like everyone else ... if young plays forward and the brains at the club think a like-for-like with young for charlie. someone needs to go.

i'm hopeful we're not that stubborn and arrogant. young to the back and follows his man all day. into the ruck and when he rests up forward. kemp or gov forward with H, martin and williams is plenty enough to kick a winning score.

pittonet against meek will go a long way to deciding the game. we aren't a good midfield without first use/ winning the clearance, (even when tdk doesn't win the tap, he follows up and often changes the clearance result)

they're fast. they also young and looked really tired last week. they're ripe for the picking if we bring our a-game. if we lose, we don't deserve finals, imo.

his closedown speed is really surprising. and he can clunk a mark. the exact prototype of player that will have a birthday against us.

I'm feeling good :thumbsup:

These dreadful losses to Collingwood & Essendon* this weekend have filled me with good footy vibes.

I sense a shifting in the universe....

The footy gods have spoken & are being kind to us....

Cripps will have a blinder, because they have nobody for him.

Blues by 30

In terms of making finals, or top four? Weekend results make the former easier and the latter harder.

That's a damning description of our club dodo.

I still feel we will end up in the top 4, maybe 3rd. Nothing pathetic about that. Inmjiry affects all clubs, and not all clubs in the top 8 win every week...see Top, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th on the ladder. The competition has changed a lot. No team has THE superior list. All have holes, and injury exacerbates weaknesses.

Don't count your chickens.... and don't call us pathetic. We were pathetic during Bolton and Teague years. Today we are considered a contender. Big difference.

Squad mentality.

Don’t care how well they are playing or not. We are the more experienced team and there is little height forward of the centre that should worry us like previous weeks. We are playing for a finals spot, on a sunny day at the G, as close to one of the best sides selected all year, as we could have hoped for this year. No excuses for losing this, NONE!

I'm not going today, so we'll win as we've won every game I've missed in Melbourne.
