How I enjoyed being there in round 2!

THEY LIKE TO SEND UP!!!!!!!!

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

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

Should get a couple back in Robinson and Walker.

Watson in for Jamison.

Blues should win this by plenty.

Time to crush Voss and Brown. Again.

Out: Jamison Joseph Curnow Davies Scotland

In: Watson Thornton OKeefe Ellard Robinson

Need the extra key target up forward w Thornton.

Scotland is struggling and getting easy kicks in defence.

Ellard better than Curnow.

MC will stuff up again this week .

I fear we will drop Bell and retain Curnow

I would just like to see us NOT tag.

Gibbs is a ball winner. Carrazzo is a ball winner. Robbo was even tagging before injured.He is a hunter. Let them win the ball.

We are just so negative!!!!

When they have the ball we defend, when we have have it we attack. Thats the way its played. Our problem is we dont set up around the ground properly either way.

The top sides rarely tag anymore. They have rotations through the middle and have certain players pick up different players at stoppages etc. then back their own players to get the ball.

This is a major area where Ratts falls down.

Been struggling for a while and doesn't hurt the opposition as he once did. IMO time for another kid to have a go.

They have a lot of match winners....I hope we can cover them all with so many of our stars unavailable....

Actually he's been easily in our best the last two weeks. Not great today, but quite a few looked a bit flat.

I hope Essendon* folds.

Has been a great servant for the club but his days appear numbered. Far from our worst player but has little impact on the game these days. Sad as he deserves a premiership.

Ratten is reactive and this mindset has permeated our entire club and playing group.

I'm worried about Brown & Merrett with jamison out. Watson & Bower?
I like the kid McInnes - he is a pure backman though and one I would like us to persist with @ CHB!

thought tuohy really struggled today. might still be carrying some sort of injury

jamo obviously goes out and i think curnow needs another spell in the 2nds.

walker, robbo & watson in & id like to see ROK get another run

Yarran on Rich and the ball won't go forward for the Lions.

Mclean should be dropped for this game as he will not be at Carlton next year and we should be playing a kid like Lucas or Dale.

Season on the line....

Touhy has dropped off since his great start to the year and i think injury and a long season has caught up with him.

Might be time to put him out to pasture for the rest of the year and look at bringing Okeefe or Russell into the side.
