great that we will face a rested Rioli and Puopolo. sheeeeeet fully expect Bernie to get suspended in this match, he will be embarressed after last week and loves a challenge. hope he just cops fines! be great to see more bumps from Frosty! was loving his legal physicality last week

christ, imagine if we had a bad year with injuries this year? A 4-5 win season would have killed us

The Tigers have no good talent under 26. Prestia is exactly what they need in addition to draft picks anyway fock them. I still think and hope we are a good chance to land him. its all talk at the moment

I would happily pay 700G and a first rounder for Prestia. They are talking a first rounder for Hibberd for gods sake (wont happen surely) Prestia is a gun. played full seasons for 3 years. in 2014 had 13 brownlow votes and ave 27 touches. since then 7 and 14 games. hardly injury riddled as some are saying (O'Meara is a different story) he is only 23 and has many years ahead of him

an injection of slowness? not having a go but I wouldnt have any of these changes aside from Pedo. if harmes injured id bring in Kennedy

agree. I've no doubt Vanders will come good - we desperately need tall aggressive mids that can go fwd and kick goals my post was more aimed at those to called it another selection disaster by Roos and Co. we should give them a bit more credit

Everyone still think vanders for ANB a bad selection?

Just coz watts is playing well doesn't mean he is a leader. Let's just enjoy him playing well Viney jones t mac Gawn are our leaders in order. Good to see youth take over. Vince has never been a leader and he clearly still isn't. Leave him to be the finisher.

People calling for pedo to come in... I haven't seen him in the best at casey. Think he kicked one on the weekend. I would prefer not to make changes unless form players are coming in agree bern-eye should be dropped unless hurt. Something must be up with him. 5 touches at HT. So many bad touches. Worst game of his career

inside fifties 94 to 32 our way dees by 2 points

The site could do without your trolling Saty. If you have something to say to someone that is not footy related I suggest PMing them so threads don't get derailed with nonsense.

What a horrible person. Calling him a bogan would be offensive to bogans verbal attacks and then when questioned, he didnt even have the guts to say specifically why he was attacking Mike. One of these people who thinks he is owed something from the world and can do as he pleases coz he had a hard life. the part about his highest earning year being $12 grand but that year he was fined $18 grand was pretty funny but

Agree that Viney and Gawn have taken the top 2 spots of Jones and Vince. Good to see! with 5 or 6 young guns still in their first 2 seasons expect this list to be put on its head over the next 2 years

T Mac is a leader of sorts... through his actions - hard running, committment to training etc but he is not an organiser Hurley is different from what Ive seen - players follow him, he uses physciality, has some arrogance. all triats much needed for us Garland and Dunn should be filling this hole but their leadership isnt great and their form isnt either. the fact that they have been in the LG shows how poor we are in this area

I agree it is positive but I can't see us really progressing in the next year or two with such a young inexperienced backline. Who is the leader back there? who organises? All top 4 teams have several senior experienced leaders in the back half. thats why we need to recruit a senior tall defender in the off season - Hurley would be perfect. or we will keep losing games when we have double the inside 50's (not discounting our missed shots at goals that also lost us the game)

No change. I actually like the look of the team at the moment: speed and run with M Jones, Stretch, Kent, Hunt, Garlett and plenty of toughness on the inside There is an arguement for Harmes coming out for Oliver/Kennedy but I prefer to not chop and change each week. if they perform similarily this week then make the change If O Mac needs a rest, expect garland to come in.

thats fair enough. I reckon he has shown enough to persevere with over the next 2 years. He always goes in hard and works his ar$e off. he has never had a long run at it in his career. continuity and confidence can have a massive impact. and HF is a tough position to play consistently well in, especially when losing and not seeing the ball. cant be bothered looking it up but Id say the dogs would have at least 2 guys shorter than Kennedy. Daniel, Hunter, Libba?

Dogs seems to go alright with half a dozen midgets OD i would place too much emphasis on size

certainly far from our first choice fwd/2nd ruck but they dont grow on trees and tend to peak in mid-late 20's. has averaged almost 2 goals per game over the past 3 years. He is a upgrade on Dawes and Pedo, that's for sure. wouldn't rule him out if we dont have to give up much for him

realise that we could well finish in the bottom 4 AGAIN GC have more than half their best 22 out. losing is not an option

Good to see the Dawes-bashers have taken a week off this week

Reason we lost entries inside 50 were poor we kept kicking to their loose man in defence Viney, watts, Dawes all missed fairly easy kicks at goal we were mentally weak when it mattered WC were very poor. Kept kicking it us. Looked soft. And not focused. We will never have a better chance to beat those pr!cks! [censored]!!

We are significantly better at losing than 3 years ago when roosey came on board

Man it hurts watching the saints pass us by. The worst bit is it seems to be down to discipline, gameplan and pressure. Why can't we get this stuff right? who cares if they only win at Etihad, if only we could win all out mcg games!

I think you might have rose coloured glasses on: 5 goals in 7 games. had a couple of good games and a few poor ones. was in line to be dropped. not that Im saying Dawes is better
