I don’t Voss will overreact at selection

McGovern for Plowman is a no brainer
I would bring in Carroll for Jack ao we have more run
Honey needs to go out but for who? Do we bring in Dow or give Binns or Cincotta a go

Whatever we do we need to add to our run. Docherty Williams Boyd Cuningham Philp Cottrell are bigger loses than many realise for this very reason

- We have a 10 day break vs the Saints' 6 day break

We were absolutely putrid last night and I have pretty much zero confidence that we can beat the Saints right now based on exposed form and our recent record against them in critical games.

That being said, there are a few things that should work in our favour for this week's game:

- We have a 10 day break vs the Saints' 6 day break and they should be coming off a bruising encounter with Collingwood.
- Following on from the above, this should provide a better chance for Gov and Saad to recover from their injuries, Walsh to get over his return match soreness and others to sort out niggles.
- The game is at Docklands, it suits our tall marking targets and we play our best footy there. I know that the Saints also play well there, but it certainly doesn't harm our chances.
- We have now had our early season deflating shitshow of a performance to bring us back to reality (aka. Gold Coast game last year) and this should sting the playing group into action. We never played 2 shockers in a row last season and tended to bounce back well the week following a poor loss.
- The way Adelaide exposed us last night *SHOULD* force the selection committee and the coaching panel to make significant changes going into this week's game. If it is blatantly obvious to the supporter base that things aren't working with our current structure, then surely the club must be ready to pull the trigger on the required changes? I know it is hopeful more than anything, but everyone can see that change is required.

If we can manage to get over the line against the Saints and have a good win against a very average West Coast the following week in the West, we will go into the next block of tough games against Lions, Dogs (both at Docklands) and then the Pies and Dees (at the MCG) with a 5-1-1 record from 7 games, which would be a great base to work from. The fixture from that point on really opens up for us to make a good run home.



Lose next week and we will well and truly be back in the pack.... I think we will sneak over the line in a tough contest. Blues by 13 points.

Very good Mil . Points well made . Very well made . No good losing our shit after one loss . Calm and reasoned . Reckon the magoo show tonight will be very interesting . Who's gonna put there hand up ?

We have 10, they have 7

All good man

Either way we're going to win it by 140 points

No doubt Carlton will struggle to move the ball against STK.

Jack Steele returns for STK.

I forgot the other STK who will return; he loves playing Carlton.

MEMBREY.

We have 10, they have 7
