Garlett has to be dropped to find some form. Most of his goals this year have been gimmes and his defensive pressure work is at an all time low.

Spargo is renowned for his pressure and tackling and he’s got on end of some goals in the VFL. If he can bring half of what Jack higgjns did for Richmond last night it’ll be a worthy inclusion.

Inject some new blood Goodwin and send Jeffy a required message. Leave him in and what message does he receive?

Don't agree about Garlett at all. You try playing his role when the ball keeps being bombed long with no-one to burst or bust packs. Add that presence and Garlett becomes a wiz. How dare you question his 'work'.

You’re making excuses for him. His EFFORTS have been bordering on pathetic. He’s protecting himself from contests that might actually give the team better scoring opportunity.

Are you his brother?

btw, I said ‘defensive pressure work’.

I guess you see what you want to see. I see him being there, waiting, Tunbridge, Vagg like...

I can only interpret effort one way.

I don’t doubt his skill when the ball is in his  hands. It’s when it’s in the oppositions hands that he’s fallen off the planet with trying to win it back.

Very hard to see Tom Mac playing - if his recent interview is anything to go by, he's only due to start full football work this week.

And people here were bitching about players who were "rushed back" last year as one of the causes of all our woes.

I had him in mate and pulled him out at the last minute. Don’t think we can play Weid, Hogan, Pedo and TMac in the same side? I was all for pedo to come in for Richmond but to Sams credit and my surprise I think he did ok, especially relief rucking which surprised me

Nobody wants T Mac rushed back,  Bing.

He said last week he should be ready for the Essendon game.  If hes not cherry ripe then he shouldn't play.

Billy stays as he needs to recapture the pace of AFL footy again

Please tell me your not on the match committee. At least you have love for Pedo.

So maybe play Hogan in the Richo/Lynch role on the wing and have Tom CHB, Weid CHF and Pedo FF?

 

FB ....... Oscar ......

CHB ...... Tom......

C Hogan, .......,.......

CHF ...... Weideman ......

FF ...... Pedersen.......

Agree. Speed. Speed. That’s why hunt and Stretch stay in just

Out. Vince Kent (inj) Anb 

in. Spargo (debut) Fritsch Pedersen 

 

Stretch isn't quick I don't know why people say is, he is about as useful as JKH.

Is Spargo quick I though Old dee said he wasn't. Baker is quick but his form hasn't been great. Hannan is the same.

We have never been a quick side and we still beat them at Etihad last year. Leg speed is overrated ball use speed is the key.

Agree, he was pathetic yesterday, his effort almost non existent. The few possessions he got he turned over while in fear of being tackled. It was so obvious to see.

Aside from the Lions game he has been poor so far this season and unfortunately he is not Robinson Crusoe.

He was good against North as well. We talk about lack of leg speed and we want to drop Garlett doesn't make sense to me when so many others should be dropped before him.

I would seriously consider Spargo over Vince. Just read Big Footy and read that someone who watched a lot of Spargo thought he was a top 5 pick as a 16 year old until injuries hit. His form at VFL level has been good but not great like Pedersen. Hopefully Goodwin considers it because we can't afford to play both Lewis and Vince in the same side for much longer.

I would definitely drop Harmes for my man T.Mac.

That will likely happen I reckon.. Vince to be rested.

Spargo in to provide a sparko.

Why do people have Lewis in the team, he broke his hand around 11 days ago, surely he wont be ready.

I didn't see the match so can't make an informed comment on who 'deserves' to be dropped.

But, our win-loss record since 2016 now stands at;

16-10 with Pedo in the team

8-15 without him.

I'm not stupid, and recognise Pedo's limitations, but we structure up better with him out there - and however outlandish, he does have the (proven) capacity to help turn a close match.

I'm perplexed by his continued sidelining by our past two coaches at the first opportunity. Whatever his deficiencies, deal with it - the same way half the 'developing' team are given a pass for theirs.

i HATE esseondon, but they are gonna cut us up. maybe worth chucking in young oskar baker? i'd rather stick with garlett. he might come out and win the game. spargo isn't quite there yet.. drop ANB. get pedo in (we need someone that marks it). maybe drop weids/harmes.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
