Turner has 12 days between now and next game so won’t be out with concussion protocols 

Bears will slaughter us the way we played today - stagnant ball movement and atrocious disposal will play right into their hands

Problem is our next game is on Thurs 23 June which is 10 days away.

In: May, Weid, Hunt

Out: Turner, M Brown, Bowey

Just had 9 days off. Cant whinge.

Turner will miss the next game but May should be back.

Out: M Brown, Turner, Sparrow

In:  Bedford,  May, Dunstan

I would prefer us to play one less tall forward and get some more pressure, movement and separation.

May owes us big time. Mitch Brown & Daw not the answer. It's soooo annoying that after last week Mitch got another run. Maybe inject more youth with Laurie in and Neal- Bullen to find form. We can't have so many HFFs not hitting the scoreboard.

Out: Turner, M Brown
In: May, Hunt

Time to mix up the forward line and midfield mix. 

We don’t have quality talls so there’s no point playing 2 of them. 

We’re slow down back, we’re slow up forward and we lack midfield rotations. 

Hunt for some much needed pace across half back (rather than deep), Harmes permanent CHF, Brayshaw in to the midfield/forward rotations. 

Those calling for Weidemann to be recalled to the Seniors should look at the VFL stats. He kicked one goal in a team that thrashed Collingwood in the VFL. 

Are Neeta and Bennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnett available?

Sensible suggestions. And bring in Ablett, Blight and Bartlett.

It’s not about individual players. Most of these players are premiership players. It’s about not following the game plan. The players are kicking sideways, hand passing galore until the forward line is absolutely flooded with opposition players. Mostly. Or kicking the ball always to Gawn in the field. He’s triple teamed by opposition players.

Yeah but a 9 day then 10 day break means you can’t really plan a few days away from the club to refresh mentally. Teams with 12-14 days will often take 3 days or so away from the club before getting back into the work for the balance of their bye

You know who we're really missing? I never thought I'd say this, but Joel Smith would have been very handy to have on hand the last few weeks.

They have to take 4 days. Every club. CBA mandated.

The short bye likely explains why our players had a nice dinner during the week. Sensibly getting in some festivities so they don’t overdo it this week. 

Brown and Sparrow should be the first ones dropped. 

After that, take your pick.

Left field idea. Move Trac to the forward line and Brayshaw inside. If Goodwin is all about reward performance then he has to look at Tracs form in the middle. It is well below par. Brayshaw on the other hand has been in the top 3-4 players for the last month.

I like a small forward line but with our ball movement this is a death wish. 
 

If we spread like wild fire from  turnover then it may work but slow transition will make it near impossible to score. 

In: empathic win 

Out: Rubbish performances 

Honestly the game against Brisbane feels like a finals Game already, elimination game.

Lose and it's 4 in a row at the MCG! Can't see ourselves recovering from that considering the trend we are in.

Win and we are back to the top and with a solid foundation to start a really tough home stretch.

I will.still believe in the boys but I really need to see some more fight in them!

we thought we had depth and how could we fit in Bbb Tmcd and Weideman.  
Well Bbb out of form, Tmcd injured and Weideman playing like a marshmallow.
