chook fowler

i have been a critic of Melksham in the past but he cant be dropped after his game against Hawthorn. In addition to his goals, he set up Jones with a fantastic kick - a goal he should have kicked and was pivotal in several others. ANB is crucial to the improved forward pressure so i doubt he will be going anywhere. IN: Fritter, May and Weed Out: Brown, Petty and Jordon (unlucky)

Even though Jackson isn’t tearing games apart he is holding his own in the ruck and getting plenty of ball. He is allowing Max to drift forward and back and is a big factor in Max having a stellar season.

No dilemma- he plays

Gawn - arguably the best ruckman in the history of the game Langdon Lever Oliver Salem TMac

Melksham as per usual as done SFA

A lot of bath water has been consumed this week

May be, but I understand our salary cap is tight so I’m not sure if we would be able to reward Trac and Salem adequately and pay big bucks for someone from another club who would demand top dollar.

Retaining Trac, Salem etc should be our priority.

especially as many of them are black holes.

Say 5 Hail Mary’s and go in peace my child.

There it is. Proof of the importance of Choco in our form turnaround. 30 minutes a day on improving kicking compared to zero previously. A master stroke getting him to the Club.

Sparrow with his tackling and intensity reminds me of AVB but with better skills and more discipline. Just needs to get more ball.

he was seen with a white stick and a dog.

the whole group look happy and engaged - amazing the therapeutic value of a few wins. Long may it continue.

just goes to show how difficult it is for a backman to get recognised let alone be awarded a brownlow. Most would agree that Lever was among the very best on ground but nothing according to the so-called experts.

Complete team effort. carried no passengers

Trac Lever Viney Clarrie Gawn langdon Salem was also great. Couldn’t fit Fritter in despite 5 goals. Hunt is probably our most improved and I thought Jetta and Tomlinson stood up in the absence of May.

I’m on the fence about Weed but too much is being made of his performance today. It was his first game after a significant injury on a wet, windy day at Casey - hardly the right conditions for tall forwards.

TMac might have to watch his P’s and Q’s.

Basil Faulty?

I think JJ and Sparrow live together and are the best of mates

Hope Duncan is still injured- he normally kills us

He makes an occasional mistake but who in the backline doesn’t? Started slowly this year but is building. 90+% efficiency is better than most. He’s a gun.

Plays with a maturity beyond his years.

Tragic!
