Simply “playing the kids” never works or a achieves anything. I hope we go out to win the next two games with our best players in their best positions.

If the most unskilled club in the league can't fit in a highly talented (albeit not at peak fitness) player such as Bennell this week, then I suspect that club and player have unofficially parted ways. 

 

spot on. He's so skilled that he stood out big time when he has played doing things most of the team can't execute and should be in for that reason alone.

You do understand that we can't afford players in the team that apply zero defensive pressure?

Didn't watch the GWS game last night but I have watched them several times.

In general the teams that are successful against them force the game to be played around the boundary line and deny room to the outside runners by blocking the corridor.

It makes for an ugly game but so be it.

Will Goodwin back his usual gameplan or go defensive.

 

Exactly what is Goodwins game plan? From what I have  seen this year for the most part is get possesion and just blast away into the Forward line

I don't think we blasted away into the forward line against Freo.  We kept trying slick handballs with the slippery ball, and losing possession. Surely we should have roosted it whenever possible in those conditions.

While that's his reputation, I didn't see it in the games he played for us.

I'm not saying he shouldn't remain on our list, but I also think he's still some distance away from his best footy. Will he get there? I don't know.

Injury List

Tom Sparrow -  Collarbone | Available

James Harmes - Hamstring | 1 Week

Luke Jackson - Hamstring | 1-2 Weeks

Nathan Jones  Quad | 1-2 Weeks


Sparrow back in?

I think so, we need to see what he offers, essentially he is our midfield depth.  If Preuss isn't going to ruck 30% of the time not sure why you would play him, the question is will Brown or Tmac offer more.

FWIW, quite a strong wind in East Brisbane today with some significant gusts.  Had some showers earlier and perhaps a little more on the way.  Supposed to be windy again tomorrow with a chance of a shower but the Gabba is fairly well protected from the wind.

I am hoping for a fast track for tomorrow evening.  We seem to be hopless in wet conditions.

We are desperate if we are getting excited and rushing Tom Sparrow back in. I think he has been fairly disappointing in every game he has played this year. I don’t think he has contributed anything to the side this year. Very young kid, with a potentially bright future, not going to make a difference this week.

in 2018, it didnt look like we'd make the finals with 2 rounds remaining then we made a prelim.

so, anything can happen

Oh christ, Leon has dropped the skipper.   he is sending a message and calling for a big effort, they will set themselves for this one

Goody can’t drop Melksham because they are buddies, but Leon Cameron is prepared to drop his captain on the eve of finals.

There’s some actual ruthlessness

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
