Gee Burgo is impressive. A great get. Also cudos again to Ben who does a good job with Talking Points. He is well prepared, asks intelligent questions and is respectful without being too obviously PR driven.

as long as they leave a few lira for Trac

No way. He is needed as a beast in the middle.

he plays more like a medium forward in that he doesnt take many contested marks at this stage but is good on the ground and smart with his disposal. I feel we could play 3 talls with Weed and TMac and give Max more help in the ruck without losing much in terms of mobility

Invalidate their premierships as per Melbourne Storm

The focus shouldn't be on him for our loss. The midfield were the issue by not connecting with Gawn and turning the ball over through poor execution. He is definitely needed against Port.

Harmes needs to go. He has been poor all year and likewise Gus has to be sent a message. Bad decision making and poor execution has been the norm for us over the past 18 months and makes me think this group aren’t up to it. Time to try some new blood such as Jordon, Sparrow and maybe Dunkley who was going well prior to injury. I

Viney Oliver Lever May Melk Trac

Really poor from Hannan, Brayshaw, Harmes, Bennel, Kozzie and Weed for his kicking. Can’t win carrying so many.

Harmes is useless

I think I’ll turn on the synchronised swimming. It’ll be more entertaining and exciting than this crap.

Harmes is too slow - has been caught 3 times holding the ball. Where is Brayshaw? The midfield not benefiting from Gawn must get down to coaching - Fagan is wiping the floor with Goodwin.

I’m not in the mood for a loss, so they better be switched on!

Boy, Mark Ricciuto looks like he’s gone to the pack. Looks in terrible shape.

Even worse that the bleating of BT and McAverny is the music played at the start of the game. Horrible, loud and intrusive.

That’s about as useful as saying all Dr’s are arrogant know it alls. Oh, wait.....

Goodwin emphasized in his latest interview that players will be selected on form. I think he was setting the scene for the non-selection of TMac. Jones and/or Tomlinson would be the likely inclusions methinks.

"Tis but a scratch.

It’s worth listening to Jimmy Hannans post game interview. Nice to hear from someone that’s articulate and not cliche ridden. I think the forward line functions much better with him there.

I have been critical of selection but you have to agree that Weed and OMac have come back reborn and have benefited from having to fight for their place. Hopefully, they are both now a constant presence in the side for a long time to come.

Brayshaw- back to form Jetta - beat his opponent Melksham - doesn’t do enough AVB - can’t hit targets

I think TMacs eye may be sore for another week. Jackson’s not going anywhere.

Bugger the beer, crack open the Grange.

Really pleased with OMac and Weed - both had question marks against them but have been great.
