WERRIDEE

We are 3 rounds in do we have one? How many holes do we have? Who needs to start hitting form? Who will make a huge difference when they come in? What do we need from the draft? My team B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: HIBBERD, PETTY, FRITSCH C : HARMES, OLIVER, SALEM HF: HANNAN, WEIDEMAN, VANDENBERG F: J.SMITH, T.MCDONALD, MELKSHAM IC: LOCKHART, PETRACCA, LEWIS, JONES CASEY B: WHITE, HUTCHINS, TYNAN HB: J.WAGNER, FROST, HUNT C : STRETCH, MAYNARD, KOLODJASHNIJ HF: C.WAGNER, KEILTY. NEAL-BULLEN F: GARLETT, T.SMITH, CHANDLER FOLL: PREUSS, SPARROW, SPARGO IC: WALE-BUXTON, MUNRO, GENT, BAKER EMERG: KENNEDY HARRIS, O.MCDONALD, HORE, JORDON, BEDFORD, NEITSHCKE, WALKER, BRADTKE NEEDS SMALL BACKS: Jetta is struggling as is Hibberd. I thought Fritsch showed some good signs against Essendon. Wagner is Wagner and Salem was excellent against Port but has just been going in ther other 2 games. Lewis is getting on and is probably into his last year and lacks pace. Do we need to go to the draft? I think we do. We need players who can run, carry and deliver the ball hopefully Jordon and Neitshcke can do this but we need more. TALL BACKS: May really let us down with his fitness and has let the team down, he needs to be a pillar and he's not out there hopefully he can turn things around. Lever is coming off a knee reco so don't expect miracles. Petty is unknown, Hore looks useless, Frost and O.Mac are useless. It has been a weakness for us this year. Do we need to go to the draft? Definitely we need a strong player that can run to help out May and Lever unless Petty becomes our saviour. OUTSIDE MIDS: We don't really have any. Stretch is out of favour, Baker is untried, Kolodjashnij is finding his feet and Jones is not an outside player. Salem needs to lift in this area and take over the wing. Do we need to go to the draft? Most certainly most of our picks need to be outside mids that can run, carry and deliver. INSIDE MIDS: This is our strength and our weakness because we have too many. Brayshaw and Oliver are holding the team together ATM. Harmes is consistently doing his job. Jones needs to do more or retire. Do we need to go to the draft? No we have Maynard, Sparrow and Spargo developing. We need Neal-Bullen and Petracca to step up in the midfield if we are going to gain more depth through the midfield. RUCKS: Gawn hasn't had a great year but he is still the best ruck in the comp. Bazaar that Preuss isn't there to help him out. Bradtke is developing. Do we need to go to the draft? It wouldn't hurt but it's not a priority. SMALL\MEDIUM FORWARDS: Vandenberg injured has really hurt us his hardness is sadly missed as is Hannan's run from the forward line. Melksham continues his good form and has been dangerous. Petracca and Neal-Bullen have to do more so much more that they are close to getting dropped. C.Wagner has been handy and Lockhart has been a surprise packet. Hunt is more suited forward because he can't kick. Spargo has lost form, Garlett's been injured and Chandler and Bedford are developing. Kenndy Harris is injured. Do we need to go to the draft? For a bonafide small forward we do Garlett isn't getting any younger and the aren't quite small forwards or are developing. TALL FORWARDS We have struggled without Hogan. T.McDonald has struggled with form and injury. Weideman needs time, J.Smith looked good until they inexcusably played him when injured. Can Keilty or T.Smith give us some hardness that the Weid lacks time will tell. Bradtke is developing. Do we need to go to the draft? Yes too many unknown forwards to rely on, hopefully there are some key forwards in the draft.

The day he decided to wear a Richmond scarf is the day he should have been sacked. Give Vince the job.

Who cares we didn't tank. Collingwood tanked Hawthorn tanked move on.

Do we need to rebuild? Serious question our midfield is good but bombs it our forward is a disgrace our backline is even worse. Does Jones need to retire? Are we talking too early? Who should we be targeting? B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: HIBBERD, ? , SALEM C : HARMES, OLIVER, ? HF: ?, ?, ? F: MELKSHAM, T.MCDONALD, ? FOLL: GAWN, VINEY, BRAYSHAW IC: ?, ?, ?, ?

Congrats to Jay hopefully he can have a good game.

I'm looking not right now but probably the half way point when we get Lever. If we want to be a premiership team we have to make changes our team is still too slow and not enough good ball users. I've made the tough decision in retiring Jones and Lewis and we have the worst key position player in the comp in O.Mac and we have no small forwards.. B: JETTA, MAY, LEVER HB: HIBBERD, PETTY, KOLODJASHNIJ C : HUNT, SALEM, BAKER HF: MELKSHAM, WEIDEMAN, HANNAN F: J.SMITH, T.MCDONALD, CHANDLER FOLL: GAWN, OLIVER, BRAYSHAW IC: VINEY, JORDON, HARMES, FRITSCH Kolodjashnij to take Salem's role, Salem into the midfield to add some much needed class. Hunt and Baker to give us speed on the wings. Chandler seems like our most gifted small forward unfortunately. Jordon and Fritsch as our good ball users off the bench. Thoughts?

Good win by the storm proving their dynasty isn't over yet. You have to give it to Belamy it doesn't matter who retires or gets injured he replaces them with quality like Hughes.

Hannan is best 22 very important player B: JETTA, MAY, LEWIS HB: HIBBERD, LEVER, SALEM C : HARMES, OLIVER, FRITSCH HF: PETRACCA, WEIDEMAN, NEAL-BULLEN F: MELKSHAM, T.MCDONALD, HANNAN FOLL: GAWN, VINEY, BRAYSHAW IC: JONES, VANDENBERG, KOLODJASHNIJ, PREUSS

Embiid is back try stopping us now!

Poor loss to Chicago, we are really just going ATM desperately need Embiid back we are a nothing team without him.

A bad loss to Newcastle looks like we will finish 3rd nothing to be worried about yet but I think when Honda and Toivonen are together fit and firing we are a premiership contender ATM we are not.

Scrap it and just play the top teams.

I'll repeat the same thing I did against the Heat. Too many holes in the team. Maddinson must retire the worst cricketer I've seen in a long time.

They both surprised me I think your overrating Worrall he's played 1 good game plenty of good bowlers ahead of him, prefer Boland not sure what's happened to him. Zampa may make the squad but he's no certainty to be in the best 11. I do get a bit emotional though the bowling against the Heat was [censored].

Another draw to the Phoenix. We desperately need the brilliance of Toivonen, Athu is just a second stringer.

Well done Milkshake looking forward to watching you provide us with another 3 years of great football.

We are in the grand final YOU BEAUTY! Worrell's timing to play a blinder was great, Gotch played his best game for the club and Maxwell gave another great captain's knock. C'mon Stars you can do it one more to go?

Well done Stars especially Maxwell with a captains knock. You made the finals no heads will roll now you have done the minimum. Don't like our chances against the Hurricanes though they have the championship in the bag. The Renegades and Sixers are no good.

Surely we have to be favourites for the championship now we have Harris. Give us the championship now?

Stoinis on fire must be close to a test call up. Too bad the rest of the side is [censored]! Maddinson is an absolute spud how he was ever in the Australian team has me beat, another flop signing to go with Dunk. Gotch and Worrell not up to it, Zampa overrated very ordinary bowler. If we don't beat the 6's heads must roll starting with Fleming. NOT GOOD ENOUGH STARS!

Rams 30 Patriots 24

We just beat the super team give us the championship now?

Got out of jail there. Batted poorly but were able to defend it. I thought O'Connell cost us the game when he dropped that catch, but it didn't. GO STARS! Still on track for top 2.

GO THE VICTORY! We are definitely the second best team in the league after beating Sydney without Honda. Are we better than Perth though? We will know in 2 weeks.

Good to see Jhye Richardson play well keep it up son.
