I think I'll cry if they play Joel Macdonald as a defensive forward. I might cry if they play him regardless.

Always liked the way Peter Giles went about it. Amazing comeback really.

agree Steve...

I'd think Dunn is the man to play defensive forward. He can do the defensive things and is a legitimate threat on the scoreboard. Play him on Hodge.

i think the fd might try a full man on man effort this week and try to play with a bit of venom

players tagged will be interesting and maybe some have spoken to mn and have asked for special roles to play

at least we will get to see abit of fire from the team

And this is based on what?,,,,a dream perhaps?....a hunch?

"at least we will get to see abit of fire from the team"....why? ....what leads to this creative conclusion?

Delusional.

Did Terlich train? If so at what level?

Terlich, Tom McDonald & Blease all trained flat out.

At least you know what you're getting with Joel Mac, and that is 100% effort for 4 quarters. We could do a lot worse than playing him.

This is going to sound completely nuts, but here goes...

IN the bailey ear we played the saints at etihad and joel started as a defensive forward that day. We got some injuries and he had to go back )tappy i think). This was the day that bartrum kicked 40 meters sideways (and about 50 meters in height) slowly to another defender which led to a turnover and a goal against us just as we were pressing hard. I never forgave him for that.

Anyway I thought Joel was really good - aggressive, tackled hard, hit bodies and worried defenders. Intimidation through intent, I also think that his wonky disposal hurts us less in the forward line and his commitment to contests is a greater asset there.

I remember that game. He was marking everything, playing as a really good lead up forward.

Just don't let him anywhere near the goals.

Why not? I think we'd all appreciate the novelty.

agreed. Joel McD gives 100% all the times. others could follow his example.

i am still shaking my head at the James Magner omission

He is probably [censored] off with Neeld for not making him captain

Boys were training the house down. Cale Morton stopped by and said that the standards were way better than he was used to at West Coast, and that he'll be requesting a trade back to the Dees in October in the hope that he'll be able to crack the top 15 runners at the club. Rohan Bail hit every single target laces out; Gillies looked agile, quick and made great decisions; Sellar was nailing every shot from about 60m out against the breeze.

Then I woke up.
