I’m wrapped we won and great to see Rivers & Kossi give a lot!

But can we stop doing stupid things! Kick out strategy, not selecting Lockhart to pick up opposing small forward! Weideman down, so why not move him for 10 minutes!

We have some top players, Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Langdon and I think Viney is a fun if used the right way, so there is potential, but. Coaching has to improve

Only in hindsight.

Brown was poor against Swans

Disagree with both of these comments bing.

It was a simply ridiculous decision to drop him for preuss. The fact that was wet just amplified the stupidity of that decision.

Not just becuase preuss is not a forward and is slow as wet week but alps becuase Pruess barely left inside 50 and brown gets on his bike and provides options and cover.

That decision was big factor in our inability to stop them crossing and not being able to stop their chains of uncontested possessions. 

mind melting decision.

So, tell me again, why did Melbourne have to play in Cairns the last two weeks? The Gabba is our ground!

Great! Team! Effort!

Three stand alone words, but combining them into a sentence sums up tonight's performance.  Keep it up Dees!

It was a nice win against a side with some class, but don't forget that they are a side that dropped their skipper and made 8 changes.  Some young players showed promise.

I look forward to next week and the bradbury plan continuing

Proud of the composure showed by the boys in the last 3 minutes. Better than what was going on in our lounge room.

And that 50m penalty for their first goal was a [censored] joke

I've said this in another thread, but I don't think Weid has played poorly at all, before tonight.

Tonight I felt he was outpositioned and unable to work his way into the contest.

However, we will go nowhere as a club without consistency forward of centre, and we can't rely on any two of Brown, Jackson and Weideman to do it. Weideman's got runs on the board and although he was poor tonight, he goes nowhere for mine.

Yes for the wanting us to lose, but no for the selection comment.

Tonight showed why the likes of Melksham and ANB should not be in the team. Its infuriating Melksham continues to get a game with zero defensive pressure all year. Not only that, he gives up goals through stupidity and lack of discipline. 

I'll cop the losing comment. Won't cop we continue to gift Melksham a game week in, week out.

I recall being in Palm Cove when we drafted Rivers and I started yelling in excitement, as he was the one I wanted for our last pick. People were staring at me. 
I think I then asked you if you knew much about him as a kid, not about his footy. I said at the time that he could be the best of the 3 we got and pushed him on DL from that moment on. Yes he could be the best of the 3 and I am thrilled for him and the great game he played tonight. Pickett played his best game for us too and could have kicked 4.

Yes great pick up, mate of mine works in development at East Freo, rates him highly

I'm talking solely about the losing comment Dazzle, all good re issues with selection. I actually don't mind ANB he applies pressure and prevents opposition just waltzing out

[Censored] me.

Preuss lays one tackle (after which he tried to kick a goal he had no ability to kick and missed entirely) and gets credit.

What is it about Demonland and Preuss? 

 
Someone gave him sheet for being lumbering and slow.
I pointed out he was quick enough to catch the bloke who also thought he was lumbering and slow.
Credit where it was due.
Never said he was a star and I'm certainly not on the selection committee.
If I was, Jones would have retired 2years ago and Rivers would have had much more game time this year than he has.

Fork me alright.

We cannot simply throw an 18 year in one of the most crucial game of the year straight into the side on the back of a 5 week lay off.

Stick with Weideman,  he just needs to learn how to get himself out from this rut. Dropping him won't fix that. This is all part of his development into a good power forward.

On an unrelated note, that McDonald’s ad with Christian Petracca was dreadful. Did he sign off on that???

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
