The midfield numbers behind staggering drop-off
It's Oliver gone from superstar to dud in 6 months. Needs to lift especially with Petracca out for the year. Interesting to see how Tholstrup goes considering he plays a similar role to Trac. A lot to ask from him but hopefully he has a good last half of the season.

Time for a Change….Don’t wait another 2 years…
I'm sure Goodwin has lost the players but how Stafford survived the cull last year is beyond me must be sacked at the end of the year WE HAVE THE WORST FORWARD LINE IN THE COMP. I think McQualter deserves another chance. Chaplin could go either way like Goodwin. Players to be axed Spargo, Hunter, Billings, Tomlinson, Smith, Farris-White, B.Brown Only players that should be off the trade table are Lever, May, Gawn, Petracca and Viney. Goodwin has destroyed Petty we could have got a top ten pick last year this year we will be lucky to get a ham sandwich for him.

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Great games from Gawn and Nibbler van Rooyen and Kossie were ok but the rest were disgracful. Clarry ? What are they going to do with him? I thought he was worst on ground today he is a shadow of his former self. I admit I was a bit harsh on saying he's destroyed the club, but I won't back down saying he's one of the main reasons we are where we are. He's lucky that Trac is injured otherwise I'd be calling him to be dropped again. I've had enough of the new Clarry time he pulls his finger out of his backside.

The Midseason Review
Everyone can have an opinion. Maybe it was worded too strongly. His form IMO correlates with Melbourne's form.

The Midseason Review
If you told me after the St.Kilda game we would lose by 92 points I would laugh at you and say our season is just going just fine a win against Freo would really kickstart the second half of the season. The debacle happened now we are staring at a rebuild. THE COACHING: Has been deplorable they play underdone players, they are getting belted out of the midfield and they can't kick goals. THE PLAYERS: May: Has been seviceable really missing his mate Lever. van Rooyen: Has only shown patches this season but looks promising. Salem: Has really struggled with injury and form. McVee: One of the shining lights shows composure. Petracca: Excellent season until the freo game. Windsor: Started off great but has struggled recently.back Viney: Has dropped off from last year. Lever: Excellent season has been a pillar of defence. Spargo: Injured Brayshaw : Retired. Gawn: Been excellent back to career best form. Hunter: Injured and slowing down another who has played under done. Oliver: Career worst form I personally think he has destroyed the club. Billings: Dud recruit Langdon: Playing better than his previous 2 years Laurie: Hasn't been given a chance at AFL level bidding his time at VFL level. Bowey: Injured hasn't come back to his best. Melksham : Injured Schache: Dud recruit Tomlinson: Just when you think he has turned the corner he puts in a shocker shouldn't be in the side again. Jefferson: Frustratingly not developing as quickly as we would like in the VFL. It doesn't help when you have NQR's josteling for his position in B.Brown, Schache and Fullerton. Howes: Like Windsor started off well but has dropped off considerably recently. McAdam: Injured another one to come back under done. Rivers: I think he has regressed for the last few years maybe a spot in the midfield will help him. McDonald: Has been good but would prefer to see Petty down back instead. Adams: Developing at Casey Hore: Injured Verrall: Developing at Casey Smith: Suspended Neal-Bullen : A real goer I like him in the middle but his best spot is forward. Fritsch : Our only avenue to goal. Sparrow: Has stagnated Fullerton: Not a ruckman not a forward not sure why he is on the list. Petty: The experiment has failed it's over try and get him some form down back. Pickett: I might be in the minority here but I'd prefer him in the midfield. Chandler: Another one who has stagnated Sestan : Developing at Casey Tholstrup: Hasn't come on as liked but there is still hope. Woewodin: Hasn't been given the chance at AFL level being subbed all the time. K.Brown: Developing at Casey Turner: Injured another player that has come in underdone Farris-White: Developing in the suburban leagues. Moniz-Wakefield: Been the shining light at Casey getting 30 touches a game most weeks. B.Brown: Finished due to his bad knee should retire. BEST TEAM B: Lever, May, McVee HB: Salem, McDonald, Rivers C: Windsor, Petracca, Langdon HF: Neal-Bullen, van Rooyen, Chandler F: Fritsch, Petty, Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Bowey, Howes, Sparrow, Turner SUB: Woewodin Casey B: Hore, Tomlinson, Connelly HB: Moniz-Wakefield, Adams, Gregory C: Hunter, Tholstrup, K.Brown HF: McAdam, Schache, Spargo F; Jefferson, B.Brown, Fullerton FOLL: Verrall, White, Laurie IC: Sestan, Steele, Billings, Edwards

I want Goodwin's head. Sparrow to tag Daicos if he doesn't do a good job then drop him.

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle
I must admit I didn't watch the game live I was at work. I ended up watching the first half of the replay. My thoughts were we started off great I thought our first 10 minutes was good then Rivers couldn't hit the target which resulted in a goal Windsor couldn't hit the target which resulted in a goal then McDonald turned it over which resulted in a goal and we were behind the 8 ball. I thought Viney and Pickett could hold there head up high in the first quarter. The second quarter was a joke they strolled thorugh the centre clearances. They kicked straight and it didn't help that Amiss mark wasn't a mark and Treacy's free kick was not a free kick. The Collingwood game is a line in the sand game. I still don't think we can get over the schlacking.

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle
Our selection process has been woeful. Woey should have had games in the 22 and I'll be pretty annoyed if Moniz doesn't get a game this week been getting 30 every week at Casey. In the end it's just shuffling the deck chairs we are a broken club and need a rebuild there are only 6 players I trust the rest need to earn there spot they are Lever, May, Petracca, Viney, Fritsch and Gawn.

POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle
Let's face it it doesn't matter what happens we need a rebuild. 2 years earlier than I expected. The club has had problems all year. We are going nowhere with this team. Woeful recruiting since the premiership win. Hunter, McAdam, Billings and Fullerton to name a few. I can understand Hunter in the premiership window but the rest were just stupid picks. Billings may have had one good year years ago and McAdam is overrated for the performances he has shown and Fullerton aint a ruckman or a forward he shouldn't be behind Verrall as the number 1 reserves ruckman if he is to help out Max. We are fooked.
