What would winning on Sunday do for us?

Jones kicks 4 goals against a young defence and is a star? Thomas gets 20 possessions playing lose behind play and is a hero. Murphy gets 30 in a win and is a leader. Gibbs as well. Casboult takes mark of the year and kicks 1 goal 6 behinds. Big deal.

We are crap and we are playing a side in a hole, who are way younger and playing interstate. So what happens if we win? The media ease up for a week or so. It just doesn't change the big picture. We are crap.

I sometimes think we may be better losing as it could force change. Then again who knows. We beat Brisbane, big deal. They were thrashed last week by a drunk Gold Coast.

I'm at the stage where I really don't give a sh1t anymore if we win or lose. Personally I'll be hopefully be watching Cripps, Buckley, Whiley, Graham, Jaksch and hopefully seeing some positive development.

We need real change and a positive direction forward.


You know even if we lose nothing is going to change.


and that's what's even more concerning. It's like we are in some sort of vicious circle that we can't get out of. The last 10 years have been a waste yet we don't seem to want to or have the ability to change. Culturally we need a massive shift but I don't see anyone who can effect it. :cry:


We're pretty hopeless at the moment.

Good to see Warnock omitted, should have never been in the team against Collingwood. An Absurd Selection.

I'm guessing we're still concerned with his fitness levels.

No harm in him having a few runs with Northern Blues.

Feels like we're constantly 4-5 players away from our best side right now.

Surprised but happy with selections.

I'll watch Cripps, Graham, Jaksch, Whiley, Buckely with interest.

yeah, i think it's the best team we could've fielded.

no jamo & henderson will hurt ... but casboult & daisy are good ins. the kind of game where casboult could play himself into form and guys like whiley and jaksch will get a good run of it.

if jaksch can't have a good game against brions, it's alarm bells, imo.

Didn't think they'd have the cajones to drop Ellard, but finally he's gone! Put the games into Whiley, far more upside than Ellard.

If he's fit he plays seniors, another absurd MM decision, maybe Thomas wont come up. Curnow very lucky to be in the side, he's no value and I've not seen him do one constructive thing all year!!

the basic fact of the matter is menzel can't run out 4 qtrs ... which in year 3 as a forward pocket is alarm bells.

Couldn't make it through VFL last week without an injury scare despite being managed. Needs more management in VFL.

Lol. Couldn't be further from the truth as to why he isn't playing this week. Fact

You'll find I hinted earlier in this thread that Menz wouldn't be playing.
