Seriously we are so average WC actually have a chance.

Wouldn't be surprised if the players take it easy thinking it'll be a walk over. That's how shit this club is right now..been a D grade team since mid 2022.


take a bex or three and lie down!

Yes pretty sure that was from Daniel Hoyne (Champion Data).

Combination of lack of class in the midfield/lack of a system up forward.

How can they not give Dow a go when he has been the stand out in the vfl team. It’s embarrassing to the powers in charge. Reward effort and form! :hitcomputer: :hitcomputer: :donk: :donk: :mad:

Happy to see Kemp given a chance to prove himself. Surprised that Ed and Honey have kept their place in the side and I think Kennedy is a bit stiff. Anyway no excuses with Doc and Saad returning.

The way Harry and Jack kick for goal, that may be a skewed statistic.
Harry wins almost 50% of his one on one contests but then can't kick it for shit.

M Kennedy dropped.


One of the most mind boggling and disgraceful demotions I can remember

Michael Voss is ramping up his auditioning to get the sack at some point

I don't care if Kennedy is a late in or the sub...there is a real stench at that club at the moment

If that's true, it says that Voss is spiteful and vindictive with a fixed mindset

What if Cook and Sayers had applied the same fixed mindset when Voss applied for the Carlton job???

It's an opinion. Not fact.
FWIW, I wouldn't be overly surprised to see him get an opportunity later in the season but he desperately needs to keep tidying up his disposal. Time is rapidly running out.

I like Kemp & McGovern in the same side.

I hate the term and the so-called position, but if you’re going to have a “swing man”, you want a back that goes forward. Not the other way round.

Picking a forward to go back is planning to fail.

If we don't start winning there could be some locker room tension. Players performing consistently well in the reserves expect to be selected ahead of players performing consistently poor in the seniors.

It’s already there - but the senior group are controlling the narrative.....again.

Well it would be a group of 1 in Dow ... the rest that haven't played are either injured/been injured or first year players

Yes it's amazing how stats can be manipulated.
Funny thing is Harry kicks 3 of those 11 misses he has had no one would be talking about it.

Cripps on the other hand well that is a whole new topic of conversation

The more i think about it the more angry i am. Kennedy getting dropped after being played out of position and coming back from injury.

Fisher, Honey, Silvagni and Ed staying in after simply not performing for weeks now.

Dow, Binns etc playing very well, and more so Dow not getting another chance.

Is this Voss being crazy again ? He seems to be pig headed again like the time he was sacked. Im worried. Last year it seems like he had learned a lot and changed but now.......... I really hope im over reacting.
