Very interesting to see what standards they accept.

Two ruckmen. Means we essentially play with 17 on the field again as the ruckman not on the ball will be useless.

Really?

First time you've mentioned this. Tell me more!

I'll be mentioning it many more times too. 1000s of times while they still do it. It does us no good at all. Rather win a few less tap outs to pick a runner and get more value around the ground. To me it's a no-brainer. You can win the clearances to a losing ruck, happens alot. Be ok if they can do something off the ball but they don't. Like, who could possibly disagree with that logic. It's like having two "Warnock's" on the ground.

At least we still have two key forwards. That at least worked alot better last week as we kicked our 3rd highest score of the year (pity about the result).

I'd like to see Boekhorst persisted with, so one of us is going to end up disappointed.

It's your keyboard but why anyone would keep barking on about a selection preference when it's obvious it's the way they want to go with seems strange.

Is there a game this weekend?

There's a few rippers unfortunately ours isn't one of them.

feeling very blah.
Early on I was interested in the game plan and 23
Then I was interested in Charlie then Silvagni.
I wanted to support walks when he retired.
Now what?

Could that have also ruined a mechanism of our team defense that allowed such a winning score against?

The second ruck probably has more to do with it. Or perhaps the extra tall all round. Whether it is a ruck or a second tall forward.
I think Bolton is doing it to get the endure factor happening. Making the players work harder for future gains. Help finish lower on the ladder as to not do a 2004. Give Phillips game time for future gains.

If we dont beat Melbourne, I'm ripping up my membership!



Actually, a little sick of hearing Dees supporters calculating percentages.
Would be nice to LOSE by one point!.....I'll then start doing the calculation for the number of tens of goals they have to beat Geelong by...at Skilled

15 of the 18 teams selected 2 ruckman this week
What is your point are you trying to say Casboult is 2nd ruck when we are totally bereft of forward targets

How does Thomas get a game?
Hopefully Sumner for Thomas out of that interchange

I hope they bring in Sumner and Everitt. We need some run this week (every week) if we are to win. Not Graham but he may be for Cripps.
I like the way the Dees play. And the Dogs.
I wish we played that way.

In the next two weeks we have the chance to :
1. Snuff out someone's finals hopes and
2. Consign the enemy to the wooden spoon.
