There's more options than just Rowe.

If Walker's not fit, there Jaksch to consider despite his form today (he was thrown around), as well as swinging Rowe forward.

As bad as Jones is - I reckon he's a better forward option than Rowe.

More dynamic, but not fitter

How would you know the context of what he was laughing about. Just because he has a quick laugh with a mate doesn't mean he wasn't hurting. There is more to life. Simple thinking in the extreme.

Not great last night but his form has been good. He can stay.


now that i have calmed down, i agree. was just angry at him and his body language. we need his run. hopefully bolts gives him a talking to

Rope a dope. Never let anyone play the way they want to play. Were still not doing this...a nice time to start trying.

I predict a similar story to the last two games. We'll match it with them for the first quarter or so, then we watch as the lead blows out.

Yeah this could get ugly.

Confidence is dropping away at a rapid rate as each week passes.

Doubt starts creeping in.

We played 3.5 quarters against tigers

We played 3 quarters against swans

We played 2.5 quarters against Suns

We be lucky to put in 2 good ones against the doggies

This will be pretty tough to watch. Stringer should bag half a dozen.

Luckily we have the bye the next round.

Yes, sounds fair enough.

If his game is compromised by fear of getting hurt then he shouldn't be selected.
Bolton can't ignore that with him or anyone else.

Bugger it - bring in Jones.


Can't believe I'm saying that but we need another target up forward and from reports from the VFL matches he's played the last few weeks he's at least showing that he's trying.

3 goals too....... Which is more than Levi has kicked.

Levi to share to the ruck to try and get him into the game.




In:- Jones, Plowman
Out:- Phillips, Rowe


Levi's been getting it alright and getting the shots at goal, just keeps missing. Marking we can't complain about, especially in a starved forward line. Smashing the odd body too. Needs help up there, bring in Jaksch, and yes, playing ruck as well as forward suits him as it does get him more into the game.

Nice of the AFL to give us an Etihad 'home' game against a team that plays there every week. Actually, our first five weeks are pretty harsh on a side that finished last to be honest. Two top four sides, another two finalists and two interstate trips.
