GAME DAY - Round 6

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Good luck to this kid, I still remember seeing this photo for the first time when we first heard of him.

[beelzebub 23,198]

Time to get us a finals team scalp.

last year Adelaide. ..this year Swans....works for me

[Emerald 1,744]

Good luck to this kid, I still remember seeing this photo for the first time when we first heard of him.

Would be a lovely sense of deja vu to see him have a few bounces down the ground like his old man.

[What 18,810]

After St Kildas win and before the ball has even been bounced vs the Swans, we have fallen into the bottom 4. So depressing.

[Lucifers Hero 38,982]

Look at those shoulders now!!! Ready to go.

Hope this is the first game of a long career with the Dees!

[CityDee 738]

We were flat at first bounce last week , inject the venom tonight boys .

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Hasnt stopped raining all day here, only an hour north of Melbourne, surely some rain tonight??

[Ethan Tremblay 29,978]

Where has Brayshaw been starting? I'd be putting him in the middle.

eyes on the ball, hands like ET and if his hair isn't gel d, the boys moving like the wind,,,,,,,an insight to the future?

[Ted Lasso 18,780]

Glad toump will most likely get to play most of the game, hope he can impress

Haven't had a drop all day. I think it will stay dry.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

[censored] out boys... Watts has been named the sub.

Edit - which also means Stretch gets at least 3 quarters of the game. Can't complain with that.

Again, just a bizarre choice in sub player.

Not as much as last week. Watts can at least have the potential to impact the game than McKenzie could.

[praha 11,119]

I'd be very disappointed if we lost by more than 4 goals tonight. Anything less than a crack and some venom would be disastrous.

This club needs to turn a corner. Tonight can be that corner.

I'm not expecting much, though. I actually predict an 8-10 goal loss. We still can't score and our midfield is inept.

If it rains, we might be a chance. Dogs looked flat in the 2nd half today. But Swans are as well drilled as you get.

Bizarre....how so? He's being made to undrrstand what "non negotiables" are and what they mean for the team.

[Bang Bang Bang 5,765]

Not bizarre at all. He's the 22nd picked player and versatile, capable of making an impact. I think he's a good choice. Hopefully the rocket he needs.

I understand what you're getting at, but when has Watts ever responded to a 'rocket '? If anything, this could diminish his confidence even further. He needs to be able to play his natural game and return to form.

I hope I'm wrong, and I might very well be, but it just seems strange to start a tall as a sub, the week after having mistakingly put a tagger in that role the week prior. See how it goes.

[Seraph 1,762]

Watts is the sub.

Put on notice, surely.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Think ill move back to town.

I think there is a significant ramp up in pressure being placed on the chronic underachievers on our list - and a good thing too.

[1 red eye 1 blue eye 771]

Watts as sub is a pure indication of his position on the list.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,065]

Neeld tried that with Watts and it did no good. In fact it set him back even further. I reckon it is a poor decision. Either play him under (last chance) strict instructions or drop him to Casey.

I don't rate Roos' team selections in general.

[dazzledavey36 52,738]

Good choice.

Its obvious we are looking for more run tonight.

Good luck Stretchy!
