$101 WA tote. Vic tote suspended.

Good news. Would love to have the C on him, had it on Barlow.

Well done Watts, massive chase down.

Massive goals by Garlett today. Always seems to kick them when we desperately need them.

This isn't under 11's Roosy, tell em not to bomb it in plz.

For all the flashes of brilliance, there are a lot of stupid errors (Lumumba). Is it worth it, I don't think so.

Salem is a fiery little bugger.

Bugg is under Cotchin's skin.

Pretty impressive McDonald.

3-4 pressure acts there by Watts.

Fair call.

Kennedy getting a lot of midfield time, great move. He is a good clearance player, thanks Pies. Goal Watts.

So I was wrong, isn't the first time, won't be the last. You must have a lot on tonight.

I believe Petracca will debut and that the club already know Garlett hasn't came up. I will be shocked if Petracca does not debut.

Don't worry bud, I have 15 alias on here.

We will see, but I don't think so. Garlett mustn't have came up.

They wouldn't name Petracca in the extended squad if he wasn't playing.

Oliver won't come back through Casey, he is our most effective midfielder - when Kennedy isn't in there.

So Petracca is in (extended squad).

He won't struggle to get a game in that midfield.

If he puts the arm out of the don't argue - he is open for a shirt front. That is one option. I would look to lay him out early (take the 3 weeks, he won't do it again when playing Melbourne, so good long term problem solver). The other option is to come in from the opposite side and either ambush him with the tackle, or pick pocket the ball out of his hands (Garlett/Oliver/Kent would all be capable of that). He is a great player though is Martin, a really tough competitor, and a true leader.

I don't believe Salem is a defender, I think he is a midfielder, but at present I think he needs to grow into his body more (before we put him in the midfield). So it will be a bit of a nothing year from Salem IMO. Once he does muscle up a bit, and mature, I think he'll be our most effective midfielder. There really aren't many weaknesses with Salem, he instinctively a ball getter, that is why he is struggling a bit down back, because I don't believe it is his natural game.

I doubt it. Could be wrong though. I thought Petracca had a better prep, and Trenners would take a bit longer. Trengove needs time to just get himself right, get back into the game, the feel of it, the routine. Whereas all the talk around Petracca is that he is ready now. There hasn't been the level of talk that suggests Trengove is as ready atm (as Petracca). But I am only just going off what I hear on here.

Caro is a quality troll.

I've been calling for BenKen to get more midfield time. He was an immediate game changer when thrown in there against GWS, and I think BenKen (along with Oliver) are our best inside midfielders. Having Kennedy in there is a good change, it gives Viney an opportunity to get in space (which he did yesterday, kicked a vital goal), and N.Jones also found more space yesterday. I thought it was N.Jones best game this year as well.
