Totally.

I hope we don't play Jack Grimes as a tagger. He's about a million times more useful as a third-man up defender playing on medium-to-small forwards like Robbie Gray than he is trying to shut down a dangerous midfielder.

I agree...I don't rate him as a tagger. I'd rather have someone like Riley or Matt Jones tag, and play Grimes on a half back flank.

if monfries is out, i reckon we drop terls for jetta and keep the toump in. if theres no monfries who does terls go to? jetta goes to grey and i reckon garland goes to wingard. Dunn and Tmac can gover shultz and hoff

We need to stop expecting that Jack Watts will have his 'break out game'. I simply want Jack to become a role player. He will impact games due to his excellent disposal and decision making, but the new MFC is 21 players, 21 roles.

Plus the sub, which, ironically, is the clearest role of the lot.

agreed but you have to back Roosy!

Grimes will be probably be the best tagger of all time by the end of the year!

I reckon Grimes will follow Robbie Gray around pretty closely, he's ranked up there with the best few players in the comp at the minute, and i reckon Cross will run with Boak, Viney and Wines go head to head which imo will be awesome to see, and then Vince, Tyson and Jones will just do their thing.

the really big question for me is how do we stop Port from scoring so heavily simply for us to be in the game.

if frawley returns we will have 19/22 first choice players available as dawes, hogan and trengove miss through injury/suspension.

3 pretty big outs but it does make this weeks result even more

important to track the progress of the group who

Port is rightfully on top of the ladder at the moment and we are still struggling down near the bottom. While we have improved, we are still a far way from beating port. They maybe tired after the bruising encounter with the Hawks, they may have some injuries and they may underestimate us but they are still good enough to beat us. The loss of Dawes is a major blow as he did attack the ball and present, the other major downside is we are coming off a bye, and past history shows we have seldom played well after a bye. A lot of things Roos and the team have to deal with, I am hoping to see them put in and continue to show the improvement and tenacity they have been playing with of late.

Monfries could be a good out for us...

OMG - here we go again.

Lets just play against whoever the can put on the field.

And win.
