Just read Watts has a hammy injury and is out this week.

Who comes in?

Fitzpatrick

more tanking list management?

Big thrashing coming up for Neeld....

According to SEN Fitzpatrick and Dawes are a few weeks away. I will be happy if we lose under 100 points.

This week is going to be very, very, very ugly.

The fact that my girlfriend is a mad Carlton supporter will make it that much worse

...and the players, and your club.

Watts not playing will have zero effect on the result.

If we go in with Sellar at FF & Pederson and CHF i might spontaneously combust

Who cares if Fitzy is a little underdone?! Bring him in!

Maybe try Dunn back in the forward line?

Is there any difference between Dawes doing stuff all in VFL or AFL? Plonk him and Gawn/Jamar in the forward line.

Stick with Gawn, Pedo and Howe up forward and Dunn and Strauss come in down back.

A running player on the chop ping block - Rodan/mckenzie/blease/Davey earns a reprieve.

I don't think Fitzy is ready and whilst we are playing 2 rucks I'm not sure we need another big awkward body forward.

Put Frawley forward. Carlton's bigs won't do anything. Just try it for a round, not going to be the difference between winning and losing.

If kicking a couple of goals gets his head back up and maybe sparks a bit of enjoyment of the game for him, i can't see it as a negative in any way. Blatantly obvious how flat he looks recently.

I can see about a million negatives in Frawley forward.

I'm also not sure how watts not playing or Dawes for that matter is devastating.

Taking a line of form through Adelaide where Brisbane pushed them hard at the Gabba and with a bit of luck they wouldn't have been out of the game against Carlton.

A loss is heading our way but we shouldn't fear Carlton will completely destroy us.

Personally I don't rate Watts at all. But even if you do the silver lining of playing another midfielder will help against Carlton.

Garland was more successful as a forward last year than Chip.

Oh dear, it's Groundhog Day.

This week gives us a chance to see we have learnt anything from the first two weeks. A good showing is a must.

I wouldn't go quite that far. It certainly won't help.

Either way, anything other than an ungodly thrashing would surprise.

Taking the boys to the ice hockey instead this week. At least I will get to see some enjoyment on their faces for a change

Where do they play Ice hockey? My fiance's Canadian so I might tak her to a game. We've already got tickets to Canada vs USA in June I think it is.

Amen, could almost have a positive result if he was planning on playing backline

At the Ice House down at the Docklands around the corner from Costco.

Dawes a few weeks away....

Sounds good to me. Lets slowly build up our 25 year old marquee recruit at Casey, for a round 13 return. We can't afford afford to throw him to the wolves too early.

I would have thought three weeks back at VFL level would have been enough for Fitzpatrick to put his hand up as being match fit.

Thanks Goodness we've got Gawn back in the team. At least between he and Jamar we can now provide a contest up forward - providing the ball gets inside 50 that is.

...and the players, and your club.

I don't understand why you constantly refer to the MFC as "your" club. Are we not all supporters here of our club. Maybe why there is constant sniping from you because it isn't "your" club.
