Unusual to be on the right side of the MRO or tribunal.

Thought McVee was gone for all money.

I accessed the cameras in your apartment.

How can you win when the opposition have 3 or 4 players getting around 30 touches each week when only Oliver looks like getting around that on a regular basis. All our midfield can get that many, but only once or twice a year. Most of them struggle to get 20. What happened to the string of handballs and run instead of dumping it long.

I feel like you can’t have Fritsch Johnson Jefferson and van Rooyen in the same forward line

Petty must be in the last chance corral, or close to it. No idea who replaces him if he goes out, feels like it's just shuffling the deck chairs.

A forward line of Jeffo, El Jeffo and El Jeffo Cantina would surely get the job done!

Time to gel the backline for future years - disco, petty, adams, lever as talls. If May has another year use him forward instead of flicking disco and petty all over the place.

Might as well play Jeffo, JvR up forward for the rest of the year to see what we’ve got. Maybe even Kentfield.

No real point in playing TMac or Melky now if retirement is on the horizon.

Umm

Hows this for a wild idea.

Why not try Petty in the backline where he was a premiership defender?????

Why not have Langdon on a wing where he can use his endurance, run and carry out of the back half and into the forward line?????????

And may try the young bloke Windsor on the other wing where he almost won the rising star last year??????

I wonder if any of these would work???????

How about a week of Goal kicking and a new plan for forward entries.....

It's because we suck again, so they are not after us. 🫠

Looking forward to seeing Petty, JVR and Disco kicking 10 between them again at Gold Coast.

Bring back T Mac to stiffen up our defence. If the club was giving him a mid season rest to recharge his batteries, then that's totally understandable. However he'll be needed next week.

Swap May and Petty.
bring in sport psych to deal with kicking.

Be thankful I haven't spent money on flights/accommodations/beers for the next few weekends.

Haha I saw that! Gave me a good laugh

Wonder who Clam is on here!

I want to see the following side for the Gold Coast game (assuming fitness).

Ins: Jefferson, Sestan & Tholstrup

Outs: Melksham, Salem & Sparrow

B: Bowey May McVee

HB: Howes Turner Lever

C: Windsor Oliver Lindsay

HF: Chandler Petty Petracca

F: Pickett Jefferson Fritsch

R: Gawn Langford Rivers

Int: van Rooyen Langdon Sestan Tholstrup

Sub: Viney

I know this won't happen, but I want to see Goodwin get some gonads and make some tough decision.

I also wouldn't be opposed to Adams playing ahead of Lever and May at some point.

If Viney does play a full game, GET HIM OUT OF THE MIDFIELD!! Play Trent as the primary mid and maybe give Viney 20% of CBAs max.

To be fair, Demonland is full of criticisms of Goodwin for not trying different things. It would appear he's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't.

We have one, alongside Ben Crowe who also covers this area.

Both presumably working overtime at the moment.

More he flip flops if it doesn't work straight away. You need to stick to a plan. Not just rotate players in and out continually.
