I was delighted to see Jesse doing Ruck work in the forward line. First time? Exactly as Schwarz used to do. It enables Max to stay behind the play. Against a top line ruckman it will lead to some problems but I really I like the move. And Hogan plainly enjoyed it

Rubbish! Played well except for one undisciplined act

But long bombs tonight created many 50/50 situations which lead to ugly packs from which we kicked several goals. When the ball is slippery, get it in there ( as they say)

Yes, I think you are the only one. Overall his disposal continues to be first rate. Some of his aggressive kicks to position tonight were exceptional

I'm inclined to agree with this. We lacked genuine forwards v Port. If Vince gets it a bit he will kick some goals. So , incidentally, will Garlett who offers much more pace

Agree the backline is undersized. Must play Frost who brings so much to the table , we MUST have someone to play on a second big forward. And despite Garlett's ordinary form in the twos, I would play him. He is a genuine forward, not convinced that Spargo is--he's better around the ground.

Well we didn't have options. OMac off the ground, Pederson required in the ruck for quite some time

Absolutely correct. Can't understand this post. Amongst our group we rated him our third best player after TMac and Oliver. Sure, a clanger at the end but look at the many pinpoint kicks to a running player

Surely the absence of both Stretch and Garlett means that one of them, presumably Jeffy, is playing on Monday instead of Hannan?

I would play him on Monday

For some unknown reason, he's been a disaster as a defender. Seems odd but it's happened several times

Rubbish. Bloody good player

I suggest you see your doctor. Frost is a damned good player.would walk into many teams. Not many combine his height and speed.Yes, makes the odd mistake but he creates some great plays

Not playing Hunt, or any other sucker, in the ruck. Three talls plus Max. critical difference

Yes, she is first rate. Knows the current scene better than many of the ex players

[censored]! His great form has occurred since he went into the middle--where he belongs.

No it wasn't

He was B o G in my view. Look at his Fantasy points, 140 to Tom MCD 113

Don't think so. I believe that our win in R6 of 2004 was by a few points more

Bulls---he played v well. Surprised us all

I simply must respond to that. Tim Watson was no more a cheat than Melksham or Hibberd. It is the greatest tragedy that Watson lost his Brownlow yet it had to,happen. The Essendon players did not know they were being doped. They were badly let down by their admin and coach. The penalties imposed were, nevertheless, appropriate. But to make disgraceful allegations against Watson is behind the pale. Please tell me how his case differed from Hibberd or .Melksham.

Never been called a " black C"? can you even imagine what that would feel like? You probably can't!

There are a couple of matches in the second half for which I would take the chance with Max. apart from anything else, we should have a plan in place in case he's injured
