Murphy
Gibbs
Casboult
Graham

are the only best 22 left of that list.
Shows how bad we really are.

If Armfield, White, Thomas are best 22....we are stuffed
Byrne and Holman could be, the rest meh! or past it/retired

Sadly I pretty much agree with Mark, I fear the next couple of seasons will be grim. Just as long as we can see the club is heading in the right direction; in SOS we trust.

Who said he had a stinker, was our best again?

Have an ordinary list but truth is today we had 26 players to select senior team from

That number of players out will significantly affect team performance and also have had 2 passengers
yarran and Hendo for about half the season

Team will be immeasurably better with Gibbs Murphy graham Thomas casboult fit and firing

Next year will be better because of the number of players we have blooded this year -still think smith Jaksch Byrne Holman have potential and will improve next year

Graham Buckley bell have improved immeasurably this year

Today thought bell and cripps and Buckley were good
Walsh and Bokehorst need more conditioning but look promising
I thought Whiley did some heavy work

Obviously trade draft period decisions are crucial

Certainly won't be believing that 2016 will be worse than 2015 at this stage
Many changes lots of work a refurbished list and a new coach gives us great hope
Go Blues

Should also have said thought Dick played his best game so far -needs to work on disposal though

Missed the game today as it was totally irrelevant and without meaning.

A preseason will see us a lot more competitive next year.

Thomas is not only best 22, he is best 11 (and comfortably). Saying that he isn't is just ridiculous.

Agreed. I reckon he was in for a good season before he did his shoulder

Great post. When will supporters learn Kreuzer is not a centre bounce Ruckman and you can not win big matches without one. Think Fraser v Clark Keating. I want Kreuzer to stay but he is a boundary line Ruckman, really the best second Ruck in the competition and would be so damaging if he can further develop his forwardline play

My thoughts exactly. Throw Cam Giles in the 22 instead of Rowe, too.

Pick 3 is worth more than a half arsed ruckman/forward.

I think we are mistaking heart and courage with ability because we are so desperate for players who even show that they care in this disastrous season


Bring on pick 3

Kudos to the cheer squad that turn up each week.

Your pain threshold must be high or you must really hate your family.

They watched us win last week

x 1,000

past collingwood glories don't count for us
he hasn't contributed anything to us in two years, when he does and consistently then we can count him in

Someone in match day thread - they were momentarily frustrated I'm sure

Just too many players without a football brain that also can't kick.

The last 7mins of the third quarter on the TV clock was deplorable.

Is that what you call 15 years of mismanagement.

i'd like to know what the strike rate of kicking backwards for success is. it seems that most of the times we kick backwards we turn it over and the opposition scores. it's hard to watch when we win a possession on the wing, give up ground and go back into defensive 50, and then turn it over.
