I was surprised Gorringe didn't try to smash into Goldy knees first, if you are concerned about getting hurt it would appear the safest strategy.
Watching the game it looked like Gorringes first (and possibly only) tactic was to try and take Goldsteins run, but that either didn't work or he got paid a block.

Would the coaches have told him to do that ?

It was 2-3 weeks which was encouraging, but it might be the 1-2 zone now and I've seen guys go in there and never be heard from again.

The cats will insert the entire fist in this one. I won't lie, it's going to hurt.

Tall team on every line, so we're more of a chance to beat them with our run. Collingwood showed today that they have been carrying the same weaknesses for years.

Out: Everitt, White

In: Wood, Cuningham

Everyone knows I'm a fan of how Everitt sees the game for the most part, but when your team mates don't hit up some nice leads, something isn't going well. Perhaps it's team rules, perhaps it's a lack of trust in his marking ability, perhaps his 'short steps' when running with the flight errs too far on the side of shirking the contest from those overseeing the game plan (I personally think smashing head-long into a contest when you don't have a hope in hell of affecting it beyond a free kick against is dumb, but that's just me I guess).

White was abysmal and had a decent match-up in Waite, which he eventually took on, and failed at. Awful decision maker with the footy, and when to take possession of the footy. Rowe can go back into defence.

If we're not going to eschew the traditional ruck setup to try and keep performing players in their best positions for the team, then I guess we plonk Gorringe up forward and give him a go at his long-term position. Wood is just about the slowest player in the league, but he's 6'9 and has confidence in the ruck position.

For mine, we should be looking to add spread around the centre clearances and general clearances, and Cuningham delivers on that front. Walker's first half probably shades anything that Boekhorst can come up with today.

Think Walker will be out before Everitt. For all his faults and frustrations Everitt generally hasn't been bad. Does usually give plenty of value on the scoreboard. Walker isn't right now. Unlucky as he missed 6 weeks and after a decent round 1 game, as struggled to come back. Best to get that form back in the NBs.

Geelong on the rebound. Thanks Collingwood.

Oh boy some harsh medicine to be taken next week.

Luckily the four wins on the trot should keep the faithful from tearing their own eyes out.

We are gonna loose by a million.

So, I wonder which it is:

a) The match committee is more interested in what the Indigenous Round is meant to offer than it is in what is best for the club results-wise

or

b) Walker is in our current best 22?

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

I thought he could have had two goals and an assist in the first half despite the lacklustre (and cowardly) forward entries.

I don't disagreeing bv he did need to be more physical but that's not the point I was making

Jaksch will surely come in after 4 goals today. That's 12 for the season including games of 3,3 and 4, while playing both some time, and other entire games, in defence. Last week 20 touches and 6 marks in defence, this week 4 goals. Not much more he can do.

Sometimes you see the most innocuous things and you think there might be something in it. IIRC, the kick Gorringe took at the siren from 60 out just fell short...but it was an accurate kick. If his kicking is ok, maybe we try him up forward

I'd bring Wood and Boekhorst and drop either Everitt/Walker and Lamb

Gorringe to FF, Jones up the field as a lead up fwd

If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you!

We all wrote Phillips off earlier this year as a ruckman. Should give Gorringe some more time.
There no hurry with the rebuild as GWS are a juggernaut.

Who's we?

Sorry forgot you're never wrong

It's a burden I live with.

But there were quite a few people on here who realised that he might need a few games to pick up the pace.
