A divergent tale of selection integrity. Despite being top 3 for most metrics they have dropped Tim Kelly because he was not doing important team things. We picked Doc and McGovern. Let's see how this plays out.

We aren’t winning games but still no real changes surely it’s time to make some tough decisions Voss

Am ashamed to admit a part of me wants to lose this game now.

We are just delaying the inevitable winning this game with this pigheaded, arrogant, stubborn and incompetent fool and his band of discarded and incompetent assistants and the brother of Matthew directing our football department and team selection.

Enough is enough.

How bad do we need to be travelling before names get dropped?
0-6?
0-7?

No integrity whatsoever.
Draining as a supporter.

Yuck

Wouldn’t be surprised if Williams was a late out for hollands.

I would've rather seen Elijah in instead of Cottrell or Doc for that matter.

Yep agree.

Elijah should be in.

Hope Cripps is ok, the last thing we need is Cripps at 50%, as great as he is, his lack of pace with a sore body would expose our lack of speed further.

From all accounts, Cripps is playing sore and struggling

Could there not be a better game to strategically manage him and rest him???

This not only helps him in the short term with his body but gives a junior player (eg. Lord) another opportunity to step up to AFL level

We can froth at the mouth as much as we want about our poor development, but this is a perfect opportunity to fast track that development at the source (in the cut and thrust of senior football)

Such a predictable organisation with the same predictable outcomes...we are the template for Einstein's theory of insanity


Good luck telling your captain, when you're 0-4, to rest because he's a bit sore.


Struggling ? worse than that , he looks half crippled to me . He should be told , like it or not , your sitting this one out . He needs a spell big time . Take the matter out of his hands , just tell him .

Lord stiff... As a simple swap i would have kept Lord and dropped (rested?) Doc for Cotts
(or maybe Acres...especially if there's something going on there)

As much as it's a bit weird Young could stay in for Gov too... Young at least looked like he's been trying the last few weeks
Alternatively.. Boyd for Gov... Gov is offering nothing atm
Go Blues

4 changes and Boyd not an in is utterly ridiculous.

If he's not following coaching directions then I'd argue he's the smartest bloke on the list.

We Play Geelong in 2 weeks time at the G. That will be the Make or Break for this footy club this year!

Assuming we can get past the Eagles & Kangaroos, The Game against the Cats will show if we have any fight left in us. After that Game, the Kids can come in and Voss will happily Give up!

Yep... That's how bad we have become... We just can't trust this club anymore... Nothing is a Gurantee. We don't even know if this Mob will actually beat the Eagles and if they do, they will be smacked by the Kangaroos's kids.

Awful.. just Awful :hitcomputer: :hitcomputer:

We’ve kicked 34 goals in 4 games, that’s how bad we’ve become.

We’ve lost our last 6 games, that’s how bad we’ve become.

How bad can we become?
