WERRIDEE

Was good but I think his paper's are stamped he won't be at the club next year.

Great win : Starting with the backline. Adams played his best game for the club, could be something when May and Lever retire. Sestan was great too bad he's been injury prone so the problem I see with him is we could want some rookie picks for the rookie draft. Yze, Cross, Hardie and Bonner all worthy of rookie picks. Howes was excellent. The midfield well Laurie was sensational. Just needs a chance to cement a spot and he could be very valuable for us. Tholstrup was great he's taken his new position like a duck to water in the middle. I like him there. Culley continuing on his good form at AFL level. Campbell's been a great recruit even though he hasn't played a game, continues to be a champion at VFL level. If we pick up Heath it's hard to see him get another go but he has been a worthy pick up. Woewodin was good but like Sestan they may want picks in the national draft. The forward line. Yze was sensational hopefully we can recruit him as a rookie pick absolutely worth it on that performance. Cross is a smokey to get picked in the rookie draft but he knows were the goals are and is a terrific mark for his size. Kentfield and Johnson haven't done enough yet but they can take a mark so that puts them ahead of van Rooyen and Jefferson. I think Kentfield could have a break out game any minute now.

I made 2 mistakes on my predicted team. Not the team list I know they are playing.

Good side on paper. Made 2 mistakes not putting in Hardie and Smith. Looking forward to Culley and Howes tearing them apart.

I've changed my list management strategy. Whoever is contracted stays whoever isn't goes so for the time being McVee is out. B: Lever, May, Howes HB: Salem, Turner, Bowey C: Culley, Rivers, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett SUB: Sparrow B: Berry, Adams, Derksen HB: Moniz-Wakefield, McDonald, ? C: Sinnema, Laurie, ? HF: Sharp, Johnson, Mentha F: McAdam, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Heath, Tholstrup, ? IC: White, ?, ? Heath, Derksen, White and Sinnema have been linked to us if anyone else gets linked I'll put them in same as if anyone out of contract gets a contract then I'll put them in.

Brodie Kemp for Carlton is uncontracted looked good as a key forward when McKay and Curnow were out. Maybe we can untice him to Melbourne

B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Turner, Bowey C: Culley, Rivers, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, Kemp, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: Lindsay, Langdon, Oliver, Windsor SUB: Rosas Casey B: Berry, Adams, Derksen HB: Howes, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield C: Sinnema, Laurie, ? HF: Sharp, Johnson, Mentha F: McAdam, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Heath, Tholstrup, Sparrow IC: Verrall, White, ? IN: Derksen, Heath, White, Sinnema, Kemp, Rosas, Draft pick, Rookie pick OUT: van Rooyen, Spargo, Billings, Hore, Campbell, Fullerton, Sestan, Woewodin, Brown, Henderson ROOKIES: Culley, Moniz-Wakefield, Kentfield, Verrall, ? ROOKIE B: Berry, Mentha

I'll try and pick the team. B: Freeman, Adams, Howes HB: Bonner, Fullerton, Sestan C: Billings, Laurie, Culley HF: Mentha, Johnson, Spargo F: Brown, Kentfield, Yze FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Woewodin IC: Verrall, Lual, Baldi, Edwards, 23rd man

In : Lampard Out: Purcell ( hopefully it's a minor knee injury) B: Ebert, Taylor HB: Chaplin, Lampard, Goldrick C: McNamara, Hore, Paxman HF: Fitzsimmon, Harris, Bannan F: Gall, Zanker FOLL: Pearce, Hanks, Heath IC: Campbell, Mackin, Johnson, O'Hehir, Mahoney

I don't think we should be trading much at all. No one wants Clarry and Petracca is a must keep for mine. We desperately need a key forward to help out Petty. van Rooyen can't do it can't take a grab, I hold out hope for Kentfield he can take a grab. Miochek is an obvious candidate for the key forward spot I'm amazed we haven't got heavily into Allen the exact player we need. I think we should trade van Rooyen. B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, Turner, Bowey C: Culley, Rivers, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Melksham, Miochek\Allen, Fritsch FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: Lindsay, Oliver, Windsor, Langdon SUB: Sparrow Casey B: Berry, Adams, Derksen HB: Howes, McDonald, Moniz-Wakefield C: Sinnema, Laurie, Sharp HF: Mentha, Johnson, ? F: McAdam, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, ? IC: Verrall, White, ?

No changes how lucky are Sharp and Sparrow? They should get rid of Chaplin at the end of the year even though he is contracted.

I think she might need to bide her time. She will eventually be in the team she's important for the future. Wortherspoon also unlucky not to be in the side.

Hanks was great but Purcell was BOG by a mile.

If Lindsay is out for the season then I want Laurie in who also had a good game. Don't want to see Sparrow or Sharp rewarded with ordinary performances.

Loved the game from Purcell, she was a big loss early last year. Loved Heath just a firecracker her tackling is elite. Hanks is well and truely back to her best now that her mate Purcell is back. In: Goldrick Out: Johnson Love to see Goldrick back her run and carry is important. B: O'Hehir, Taylor HB: Chaplin, Lampard, Goldrick C: McNamara, Purcell, Paxman HF: Fitzpatrick, Harris, Bannan F: Hore, Zanker FOLL: Pearce, Hanks, Heath IC: Campbell, Ebert, Pisano, Mahony, Mackin

In: Lindsay, Tholstrup Out: Sparrow, Sharp B: Turner, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Bowey C: Culley, Oliver, Langford HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Chandler F: Fritsch, Petty, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: Howes, Langdon, Lindsay, Rivers SUB: Tholstrup

I don't know why Sparrow gets a game? Been poor for 2 years now and only been dropped once. Why Turner didn't get Gunstan straight away is baffling. Howes refused to put body on Gunstan. van Rooyen doesn't lead enough. Until we can find a key forward that can kick goals and our midfield hackers can be replaced by players that can kick I'm talking about Petracca, Oliver and Viney we will go nowhere once again.

In: May, Tholstrup Out: Adams, Windsor B: Turner, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Bowey C: Culley, Oliver, Langford HF: Petracca, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: Howes, Rivers, Tholstrup, Langdon SUB: Sparrow

Possible team B: Smith, Adams, Freeman HB: Bonner, Fullerton, Lual C: Billings, Laurie, Sharp HF: Mentha, Johnson, Henderson F: Spargo, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Campbell, Hardie, Woewodin IC: Brown, Baldi, Cross, Verrall, Sinnema

He's made more than 1 mistake. He made a major blunder with McAdam.

The Grundy trade was worth a crack. We got Hunter, Billings, Fullerton and Schache for nothing and Hunter gave us a year while the rest gave us nothing. McAdam is the disaster a second rounder. Basically Neal-Bullen for a player that played less than 50 games and as usual been injured for the last 2 years on a 3 year contract. AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER LAMB DESERVES THE SACK FOR THAT ONE!

Caro only got her job because of her old man. She's a hack, she makes stuff up and if she gets it right she will go on about it forgeting about all the things she got wrong.

With the form McDonald is in he deserves another contract. B: Turner, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Culley (a), Petracca, Langford HF: Bowey, Petty, Chandler F: Fritsch, Kentfield (a), Melksham FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett IC: Lindsay, Windsor, Langdon, Oliver SUB: Howes Casey B: Lever, Adams, Berry (b) HB: Sestan (a), Derksen, Moniz-Wakefield (a) C: Sinemma, Laurie, Sharp HF: Mentha (b), Johnson, Henderson (a) F: McAdam, van Rooyen, Jefferson FOLL: Campbell, Tholstrup, Sparrow IC: Verrall (a), White, 2nd rounder

IN: Kentfield, May, Lindsay Out: van Rooyen, Adams, Windsor

Longmire out of the race is a disaster. Buckley overrated player overrated coach. We are stuffed.
