The MC can only work with what they have got.

As I said before Cazz there isn't much at the moment to push him out! If you think he will be part of a premiership 22 that is your opinion but it isn't mine and that is what I look for.

When did Cazz say he'll be part of our premiership 22?

What would you do, play 8 short each week and just play the 14 players on our list who will be part of our next premiership 22?

[Fisher is being found out in the modern game. More possesion and control of the ball. A forward in this type of football needs to be the complete package, good mark, kick, good ground skills, quick to react and move to position and be very good defensively. Unfortunately I think Fishers injuries (especially knee) have robbed him of the ability to contribute in some of those areas.

He was drafted late by us because others clubs were concerned with his lack of speed and skills below the knees. They have become more evident this year.

Fisher was okay in a bad side that got the ball in quick and long and he could use his marking skills. We as supporters sometimes tend to hang on to little things especially when we are losing (Maybe Russell fits that as well).

Unfortunately I think his time is passing him quickly. If you watch him at training he gives everything and works hard to get the most out of himself. Sometimes we have to accept they are not up to it.

Compare the difference when Walker went forward last week.

He's being found out so badly that he's 11th in the AFL for total marks.
He's also being found out so badly that he's averaging more kicks, handballs and marks than at any stage in his career.

Methinks people who sprout unsubstantiated nonsense to support lopsided opinions are the ones being found out.

We must have a sensational coach. No depth, a plethora of players not up to it and nine wins.

Even for you verbs I would think that it is obvious that one win won't get you into finals!

Maybe living so close to a Uni isn't rubbing off. Maybe you should get down to teh RE for some mind lubricant.

Incorrect. It only takes one win to win a premiership, which was what you were talking about, not finals, which we are still a chance to make.

Verbs, I have read your posts 4 times and you just don't make any sense, they are all over the place.

You'll get used to it.

The only reason Saddo will remain in the team is if the MC think he will be able to match up on Hale.

Also does anyone else think the only reason Russell is getting a game every week is to advertise him for trading, he wouldn't be worth anything if he played VFL all year, he will be considered as a starting 22 player come next season.

Sorry if I've missed a discussion on this, but are there thoughts on
(i) who will match up on Harvey? someone (on Foxtel?) suggested Carrazzo, but Mr Illy says he's too slow
(ii) Jarrad Waite's role ... vs Petrie?
Thanks, Illy

Essendon* cheated, simple as that

Yeah, interesting one that. I remember hearing a commentator (cannot remember who it was) 2 weeks ago saying 'i've been really impressed with Jordan Russell up forward this year.' ...........

WTF?

Fisher, whilst is an AWESOME mark has really been dissapointing. He should have really kicked 30+ goals as most of the ones his missed have been dead set in front!

So for me, both have been dissapointing. Especially Fisher's around the ground efforts!

i wouldn't mind seeing murphy play on harvey for a bit and i think waite has to get petrie if he goes forward

So no agreement re Gibbs taking on a shut-down role on Harvey?
If Petrie goes back, does AW get the job?
