WERRIDEE

This is soul destroying. We won't come back from this. We need to get rid of the coach and start again. Get rid of some big names. Jones must have played his last game. Retire immediately. Salem, the McDonald's, Brayshaw, Weideman and even Oliver has to be on the trade table. We must go for Daniher Weideman is not up to it.

B: LEVER, SMITH, JETTA HB: RIVERS, MAY, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, TOMLINSON HF: VANDENBERG, BROWN, BENNELL F: FRITSCH, WEIDEMAN, MELKSHAM FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: SPARGO, NEAL-BULLEN, JORDON, SPARROW

This is worse than 186 I expected them to be reasonable tonight. Petracca is the only one that has had a go, the rest have been disgusting.

They must bite the bullet and sack Goodwin fancy getting a coach from Essendon they have done nothing for 20 years.

It's about time this paper team got a dose of reality! Jones is finished. T.McDonald can only play down back or trade him. Salem needs to be traded. Brayshaw must be traded. Don't know what to do with Oliver? Just tell him to handball it. Weideman must be traded. Roos has [censored] us up the [censored]! Picked the coach and Traded pick 2 for Salem and Tyson.

Another poor quarter a common theme under Goodwin. What about trying something different like trying Melbourne?

I can see T.Mac playing further up the ground around the wing and half back giving Gawn a chop out receiving the ball from a kick in. Jackson to play traditional CHF and Weid to play deep.

Happy to see T.Mac in the side I think we are a better team with him in. Can't wait to see how the 3 talls go. Happy to see Sparrow back was good in the pre season and good in the scratch matches, I thought he would replace Brayshaw who is lucky to be in the team due to poor form but now we have an extra midfielder in the team which will be interesting. I suppose Harmes becomes the 7th defender. Have no problems with Jetta being dropped Lockhart can take his spot. Surprised not to see Rivers thought he would be the 7th backman.

I have changed my selections after reading Richo's article. IN: T.MCDONALD, RIVERS, NEAL-BULLEN, SPARROW OUT: JACKSON, JETTA, BENNELL, BRAYSHAW I find it concerning that Tomlinson has been out of form and hasn't had a chance to get into form in the practice matches due to being carry over emergency not once but twice so Sparrow has been in good form in the practice matches and should be rewarded. B: LOCKHART, MAY, LEVER HB: SALEM, O.MCDONALD, HIBBERD C : LANGDON, PETRACCA, SPARROW HF: PICKETT, T.MCODNALD, NEAL-BULLEN F: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, FRITSCH FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, VINEY IC: HARMES, RIVERS, HANNAN, JONES

IN: RIVERS, T.MCDONALD, NEAL-BULLEN, TOMLINSON OUT: BENNELL, JETTA, JACKSON, BRAYSHAW

6 - MAY 5 - VINEY 4 - PETRACCA 3 - OLIVER 2 - LANGDON 1 - MELKSHAM

Our midfield is getting smashed and boy was Bennell's miss costly.

Surprised to not see T.Mac out there I thought they would have went for his experience, but great to see their trust in the young kid Jackson. Great to see Jonesey back in the side hope he makes it to 300.

When is he a free agent?

It's based on this year he was an emergency in one game.

Petracca has been on fire. Toss of the coin with those 2. I think they are the best 2 in the league.

I can't crack the code but how on earth is Melksham so high?

We don't need to gift youngsters games these days. Jones, Tomlinson, Rivers and ANB all in front of them they will have to bid their time maybe for another year.

Give me Kossie anyday. His defensive efforts are way above Weightman although Weightman is a better mark.

I'd prefer to keep Brayshaw. Don't rate Saad don't rate anyone at Essendon they have the worst list in the comp. How they have won 4 games mostly against easybeats has amazed me.

Play him down back I think he could take Lockhart's spot. He was shocking up forward against Carlton.

Would love to chase Williams he's exactly what we need, but Kelly is nothing to be sneezed at. Would be great to get Kelly after the dud Tyson deal. Correct me if I'm wrong but we still have enough salary cap room to land one big fish?

T.Mac still has a few years left. We have Weid, Petty and Jackson and Smith could also go there. I think we have enough young tall timber up forward Bradtke another one with forward potential. We can get Daniher and give away nothing because he is a free agent. How old is he? I think we need another small forward to help out Pickett and Bedford plus we need running backs\wingman to replace the eventual retirements of Hibberd and Jetta.
