If Murphy is selected, we deserve to lose.

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'd rush Marchbank back in for Williamson.
Surely we can't keep playing Murphy - Cottrell, Cunningham, Stocker or even Carroll would be a better option.
How much longer do we persist with Dow?

Burn down the grandstand type game

Cottrell gets a game every week in this team at the moment.
Runs all day, attacks the contest and gives a @#$%&!.

Start with that first then pick players based on skill.

I'm almost at the point that I already don't care

Freo have been decimated in the key position stocks.

Big test for Teague and the club.

Playing a side with bigger injury worries than us, though they still have enough quality to cause us issues.

Hopefully some guys in the VFL can put pressure on, there are a few spots up for grabs. (Namely setters, Williamson, Dow, Murph)

Is there VFL this week though?

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

I'm glass half full. 0-2 yes, but in reality have lost to 2 much better teams, simple as that.

Good god, we are playing an injury depleted team moreso than us at home on a fast indoor track.

I ask myself:

Which Carlton is going to turn up? The one vs Tigers, or the one vs Pies?

Is Pitto going to ruck all day?

Is Teague going to continue to play unfit, underdone players like Levi?

Are we going to carry Murphy? Williamson?

Is Setterfield out of form? If so, does Teague know this? If so, does he play him?

Put Drop Pitto and Levi and put Jones in the ruck and Oscar at FB for this game....yeah, nah, I don't have an educated answer. Too many players are out of form or not fit for purpose.

Ditto. I keep looking trying to find something to hang our hat on. Maybe its our excellent disposal, our attack on the ball, our relentless pressure, our intensity etc. Alas, all Im left with is a fragile brand that every club knows about and one they know to never expect to lose to us.

I want to thank the blues last night , they have saved me bout 500 dollars for next week

Sunday game against freo , I was taking my kids and nephews , I can keep my money in my pocket and they don’t deserve me going to watch them , until they earn my respect and trust back

That was pitfall last night , genuinely shameful other than half of dozen players no one gave a shit

I can’t wait to hear from the spill from the club , that they believe in
Themselves, they are sorry for letting us down and they are will bounce back !! I’m being hearing that for 20 years now ... Over it

I will enjoy local league were my kids play , my kids will win and lose but they will give a shit and be hurt when they lose ....

The line in the sand game was yesterday and choked big time.

Fremantle game is a nothing burger really.

Only one change for me. This mentally inept team need to redeem themselves or we are going to ski downhill pretty fast.

Out: Williamson
In: Silvagni

B: Plowman Jones Saad
HB: Docherty Weitering Newnes
C: Gibbons Cripps Fisher
HF: Setterfield Casboult Martin
F: Silvagni McKay Fogarty
R: Pittonet Williams Walsh
IC: Curnow Dow SPS Murphy

Watched the Game again. Had a long think.

Expecting Marchbank and McGovern to be back from injury, and like Philp, not match conditioned.

Will watch the game again, but at this stage:

Lucky to be considered and on notice: Setterfield, Dow, Curnow, SPS, Pitto



OUT: Casboult, Williamson, Murphy, Curnow/Dow

IN: McDonald, Parks, Betts, Silvagni


B: Docherty Weitering Plowman
HB: Parks Jones Saad
FOLL: Pittonet Cripps Walsh
C: Petrovski Williams Newnes
HF: Fogarty McDonald Martin
F: Silvagni McKay Gibbons

IC: Fisher Setterfield Betts Curnow/Dow
23rd: Casboult



E: Cottrell Stocker Curnow/Dow
