Plenty who do it hindsight after a crap game, plenty who do it in the context of wondering why they have a spot on the list. Both to some extent make sense.

Why anyone predicts doom and gloom before he's even played, or that the team are definitely going to lose on the basis of 1 of 22 in the team, or hoping he has a shit game, that's just........odd.

Be very surprised if Mclean was brought in. Game has evolved this year; more rolling scrum, with 'saddles' (Ross Lyon) and less frees and jumps (ball ups). This continues to work well for sides with defensive-minded, powerful, fast spreading mids (Cats, Hawks, Pies). Umpiring has seriously limited the effectiveness of Malthouse's around the boundary game where there's no longer plenty of ball-ups and bombs into F50. Brock hasn't got the explosive acceleration needed to run through the guts as too often gets found out on the rebound. This is why the fitness and power of Curnow and Bell will be missed. Worried about Zach's pace for the same reason. MM's plans were adjusted against Dogs as was the mindset of Gibbs and Lucas who discovered a heart together and attacked the contest properly. Let's hope this continues.

Doesnt matter who plays on kennedy or darling if there fwd line is opened (Which i expect to happen)they will beat us.We need run both ways ,need to crowd there fwd line and leave ours open for waite and hendo, can we do this?

Can we crowd an opposition's foward line, while keeping our own open?

Good luck

Is this unofficial selection panel age restricted? Do you have to be gainfully employed to join? I want to know what the mission statement is before joining. It better not be a club endorsed unofficial selection panel or I will cross-post the @#$%&! out of this forum.

McGovern to debut for Eagles (swingman type apparently) & Xavier Ellis out with calf.

Urgh ... No CRIPPS.

Jamison, McLean, Gar(t)lett, Robinson.

So with McLean back, does that mean stories of his falling out with the boss were greatly exaggerated?

Good to see us going with youth. Bell out McLean in.
Cripps dropped.
Buckley, Watson and Menzel miss out.

Short sighted deluded fools.

Garlett hasn't played well In reserves so why???

Watson, Graham, Cachia even Wood deserve game if possible.

Robbo wasn't playing well before injury, now he's straight in....why??

Cripps was quiet but he's the future, McLean isn't.

Seems we back to bad habits of just playing the matures?
