Out: Garlett (needs to be punished for not kicking through the ball, time after time after flowering time).

Out of interest have you actually seen Temay play?

Lucas is the perfect sub for us, imo.

He can run and carry off the wing and get into the open, and coming on in the last qtr where there's lots of tired bodies is perfect for his bruise-free style of play. He offers a lot as our sub.

imo, he can't be considered run-on material until he can pick up 5-10% on his disposal efficiency.

What are you talking about? The season finishes when you're finished. We finished a losing semi finalist last year. Just like 2011.

You sound like a Collingwood supporter now. They think that if you finish top at the end of the home and away but bomb out in the finals you still ended up the top team. Haha. It doesn't work like that.....

Oh, and Ben Johnston DIDN'T win the Olympic 100 metres, Carl Lewis did. Not by default. Notwithstanding that he was probably also doped up, at the time he won because he was deemed the first clean runner across the line. THERE WAS NO DEFAULT IN OUR MAKING THE FINALS LAST YEAR. WE WERE THE 8TH BEST FINISHER AT THE END OF THE H&A (OF ALL THE CLEAN TEAMS).

You don't think missing the goals is punishment enough?

I feel the same way.

We have to work with what we've got. Casoult is on our list.
We upgraded him last year after seeing him for 2 years.

Theres 20 more matches to play.
20 more matches to expose 30-35 players.
Casboult will get his chance.

Just so happens Rowe was preferred to replace Kruezer this week.
Rowe was tried at CHB in the practise games. Ok ish.
I think Rowe will be replaced by Casboult and surpassed over the next few weeks.

Rowe is no where near AFL standard.
He's a big body. He is 25 26 yo. IMO No upside and reached hhis ceiling.He's not going to get fastr in body and mind.

You're an angry man moshe, I hope last season gave you great satisfaction as no doubt have our first two very brave performances this year. But I want us to be a good footy side. We aren't and haven't been for a long time. I thought last year was crap. Go easy on the caps lock

Lucas certainly played the sub role quite well on Thursday.

How do you rate Temay? I had him down as sub in my preferred team to play Essendon** but don't know too much about him.

One of two outcomes for this one:

1) We'll get hammered
2) We'll lead by plenty and the cough it all up, shit kicking likely to contribute

We won't cough it up, they'll use their bio-chemical advantage to out last us.

In - Walker, Wood, Armfield, Carrazzo
Out - Rowe, Buckley, Lucas, McLean

Sub - Carrazzo

Not angry at all. I just find it hilarious that people base where we finished last year on some opinion they have about where we SHOULD'VE finished rather than on the actual facts. We finished a losing semi finalist.

Do you go to the TAB and try to cash in a ticket on a horse that came fourth because you believe that that horse should've won? Probably. But I'd only try to collect winnings in a horse that actually came first (AFTER correct weight), and ya know what? If he came second but the horse that came first got disqualified, they'd pay me. That's how life works.

You're dropping Buckley ?

Just realised that this is a Sunday twilight game

Busiest night of the week family wise.
