more importantly, who are we going to bring in to tag the danger man Scully? Mckenzie?

No...

Frost will stay in, not sure why some think he will miss out. That will only happen if Ped, Gawn or Pencil come in and that's not going to happen.

So maybe:

In: Gawn, Dawes, Vince

Out: Frost, Toump, Brayshaw

Mumford is a big challenge, if Jamar were to go down we would only have part timers.

I dont know, this is too hard!

in 30 hours we will know the team....

after 21 pages DL still has not come to any consensus. I think Toump and Brayshaw will come out for Dawes and Vince although I am concerned about us being too tall. Frost and Hogan being mobile and all 3 key fwds being able to apply pressure eases my concerns.

If Roosey thinks we are too tall, I really have no idea who he will drop! Dawes or Frost I guess are the only options?

God I hope we smash the bejesus out of those A holes!

how much would I have to pay if we pushed the beds together?

(sorry couldn't resist!)

It's not a problem. It's only automatic when, as often happens, his name is misspelt with an "o" instead of the second "e". Next stop "Gartlett". Respect, blokes.

the brackets are way more annoying than a minor mis-spelling

coroner league =

A coroner is a government official who confirms and certifies the death of an individual within a jurisdiction. A coroner may also conduct or order an investigation.

I hope whatever Kev is battling isnt a reflection on the league he joined :}

Ha! what can I say, I play supercoach hard. people may get hurt

After being at the G on Saturday and enjoying it, took footy free couple of days

No shows today, Trengove, Petracca, Hunt and Nathan Jones

Light duties Viney, Watts, Howe, Tom McDonald, no major issues, just management and Jetta (who had a bit of issue with concussion after the game)

Ball movement and stoppages still the focus

Spoke to quite a few of the players, as expected all up and about but there is a steely resolve to back up at the weekend

Complimented Jeff Garlett on his game, got the usual "just playing my role", asked about the Watts tap back, said there was no call, just two players playing on instinct, said he enjoyed his time in the midfield

Chris Salem said it was a very good weekend, said his kick for goal couldn't have come of his foot any better (Arsenal beat Liverpool 4-1)

Asked Aaron Vandenberg how easy AFL was, said his body said it wasn't

Chris Dawes is looking like a caged bear, if he gets the run, would not like to be first GWS defender who gets in his way

Bernie Vince got through whole Casey game unscathed and is cherry ripe, I asked

Should make Thursday's training interesting

Pics will be on Twitter Demonpk

Any questions feel free

I'm glad im not the only one still feeling rough from saturday's celebrations. I think I better book a ward in ICU if we ever make a GF

thanks for the update mate

So you want to drop a player who played well in our first round win the first in a decade I might add for a guy who took a cheap shot and was suspended.

He was the best forward for the MFC in 2014.

Does not say much.

I agree he was only the best of a bad lot.

but good teams drop players when better players come back. itll give us the best chance of winning next week.

Dawes!

why should he be rewarded with a spot.

He waits till someone plays poorly and opens a spot.

Casey next weekend for mine, he will probably hold his marks there.

Why Dawes?

• he is a senior pro that leads by example
• he is out Number 1 forward
• he was instrumental in our few wins last year
• he strikes fear into the opposition (I personally dont mind the odd suspension once they are not cheap shots)
• only player to crack 20 goals last year
• will take the best defender and ease pressure on hogan

shall i go on?

It is tough to pick isn't it? Harder coz of personnel but mainly due to not having a quality second ruck option.

Dawes comes in, no doubt in my mind. He was the catalyst behind most of wins last year. Amazing pressure and hardness.

If I had to pick it would be Toump and brayshaw out. Both unlucky. Brayshaw especially but he only had 9 touches and is a kid whose played 4 games on the trot. Take it easy with him. He hasn't yet earned being picked ahead of senior pros like Dawes and cross.

Only issue could be is this going in too tall?

Anyone that says that win was lucky must have not seen the game. We were clearly dominant over the 4 quarters and were challenged several times and stood up.

Able tt being underdone was a poor decision by the suns. No luck involved

Very surprising the hawks fans are booing Clark. I knew there had to be something good about hawks fans

Shaw only got one week for Kent hit

Delidio the same - lucky imo

Blease not even named as emergency. You'd think he'd struggle to get a look in with all the outside talent at the cats

Does everyone know something I don't? Clark is being praised for [censored] us over and a couple months later going to a successful team

Courageous? I'm going to punch the TV in a second

When Dean Bailey's team smashed Roos' Swans in 2010 was probably the most comprehensive victory in the post-Daniher apocalypse. That was clinical. Hard to believe that only 5 players from that game played on Saturday (Dunn, Garland, Jamar, Jones and Watts), and only another 2 are still on the list (Bail and McKenzie).

This is probably the best game since then though. Definitely the most convincing victory we've had since Bailey was shown the door.

Good luck with the kid stopping crying. Definitely been there done that, have the t-shirt.

Yeah the Sydney games stands out. I am still wondering whether this was better or maybe I'm still on a high from yesterday. The Sydney game we got on a massive attacking role and we're not challenged. Yesterday was against a good team that challenged us several times. For some reason it feels like we have more substance and we might actually build something. As opposed to 2010.

Agree the list turnover is crazy!

I'm wondering whether this game is the best I've seen us play since 2006. Any thoughts?

Sure we had some good wins in 2008-2009 but I don't think I've seen us play as well as a team, tackling, sheparding etc. great balance between attack and defence.

Any thoughts?

Ps Any minute now my kid will stop crying so I can sleep and stop thinking these deep thoughts

Honestly, how many teams are better than GWS and GC? Hawthorn, Port, Freo, Sydney, Adelaide...and that's it. Throw in Geelong as well.

How many teams better than GWS? I'd say everyone aside from st Kilda.

9 wins from 66 games is not real good. I don't expect the same improvement from them that we saw with GC in the 3rd year.

I've always been a massive Garland fan and have been quite defensive with some on here writing him off after an average season last year. It was bloody great to see him back to form, taking on players, getting forward and hitting targets. Not to mention being that flexible defender that plays on talls and smalls.

Hey mate usually if you go up to the members tent or the members info desk outside the ground they should be able to sort you out. Take that letter with you just in case.

Thanks mate. I'll give that crack

If we were to win > 12 games this year (unlikely I know) I would think he'd be a Real shout for the Brownlow

Second year player who was injured all last year

Give the kid some time!!! Same with our kids

I agree. I was more trying to point out that we might not think that same way if he was a dees player. Eg if Salem was in the same psoition as freeman

This is a good comparison to make for watts. Obviously not a power fwds or true midfielder. I think he can be as good as Gunston and then become a better player.

I'm sure H will play by far his best game in the red and blue today

I've gone from like liking this guy to be being a massive fan. Such is the life of being a fan
