We've had a fairly decent month, but until I see some consistency then every game is a 50/50 imho. Signs are looking promising heading into the back end of the season if we can maintain some consistency. Until then, I don't care who we beat the week before, chances are we could serve up a "Melbourne" performance at any moment.

The ins-outs this week I'm not too perplexed about. Robbo has been showing signs lately of using the ball to advantage and not slamming onto the boot asap. He's had a few pieces of play where he actually took his time and looked settled in his disposal. I like him, I think he brings that x factor that every team needs. Persist with him and get his skills to improve, I think he'll become a solid member of our best 22.

Carrazzo at 100% is one of the best in the business. If he's right, play him. Play him, play him and play him some more.

Walker is being played out of position anyhow. He's a poor kick and is poor one on one down back
Better as a forward

We need to find some small/mid size defenders

Touhy has stunk it up too

Tend to agree. I cringe when Walker takes the kick ins. Tends to put his team mate under pressure usually via a half volley or not to his advantage . His decision making is not quite right for me. I also see Tuohy as a on baller or wingman. Good in one on one contests and a beautiful long kick. Tends to get exposed in the air by his direct opponent down the back line. Prefer playing Daisy in the backline instead. Docherty Bucks Simmo Daisy in our back line should free up Walker and Tuohy. Walker as a defensive forward is a better position for him.

We'll bring home the 4 points, no problems at all. Mick has the boys playing with intensity and passion.
This one is in the bag. Go Baggers

can anyone enlighten me as to when walks and army got injured?

I cant recall anything coming out of the crows game, but now they are out. someone mentioned walks having his knee drained, and I can understand that loss, but when did it occur? and army's calf, when did he hurt that?

quite disappointed to lose army, i'm a big fan, and we need his run. he will be a big out.

we did replace speed for slow, but I am glad robbo is back in. nice article on the afl website about him too, seemed to indicate he wanted to stay

we should win this, but never confident anymore. would like a percentage booster, but would be relieved just to win....

No way Caraz is fit to play. He didn't even make it to the last quarter of vfl game.

What happens to the space-time continuum if Rowe lines up on Brown?

the Walker situation sounds like it's been something they have managed for at least a few weeks now, and has deteriorated to the point where he needs a rest. Which - given that was the first game after the bye, doesn't bode particularly well. I'll make the call now. At some point int eh next couple of weeks there'll be an announcement of surgery.

Who knows what happened with Armfield, maybe something happened at training?

Nothing is in the bag when it comes to us. This type of attitude is what stuffed us against Melbourne.

Brisbane have some strong ins this week, so they wont be as bad as they have been.

We better be on the ball (literally)

So glad Robbo playing in his Mrs' designed jumper.
That alone should lift the fella. I'm a fan...just want him to not rush into everything.

Looking at our list cant help but miss Armfield's pace and tackling. He's our best tagger of pace whereas Curnow is our best over distance. Will miss Army.

Brizzy are up for this one. Have a look at the inclusions. They mean business. Home ground advantage.

Blues must lift for this one. A 4 quarter effort will be great.

Cant wait. Should win. Not expecting another Dees performance.

Bring home the chocolates boys for a 5-5 ledger.
