Let the saints or roos cough up a million for him. Handy player but not for the money his agent can command with a desperate club like the saints.

A real shame. VFL finals would be a step up in intendity so it's a shame he will miss that experience as a player. He has been good in the VFL so I think next year could be the year he finds time in the AFL team.

Very hard to switch clubs when you have bonds like that.

Smith- confidence was growing Feel bad for him, he was building form and confidence and was looking good before injury. A real shame he won't get to participate any further.

Good on him for making a tough call. His opportunity to play league footy can now be opened up to someone who really wants it. I hope he finds what he is looking for out there.

I've got no problem with buggy, but the reality is he has seen a handful of guys move ahead of him in the pecking order. He needs to be kicking the door down if he wants to break into this side.

I think Kent gets a run. Melksham is a bigger loss than he looks on paper. We will miss him, he has been very good this season.

Pig and Captain Jack are nice additions in the lead up to finals. If Hunt can build some form we do have some options to strengthen the lineup. I'm not getting ahead of myself, but we could be a sleeper if we make the top 8.

"Melbourne play the kind of footy that we hate" What kind of footy, contested footy?

Frost- deserves more love Come on guys. Frosty isn't in many best 22 conversations, yet here he is getting the job done for us in our 22. Makes some mistakes, but overall has been a huge positive down back. His run and carry is a bonus given none of his direct opponents will ever catch him. He is actually pretty exciting to watch when he is up.

We might get investigated for tanking playing JKH, Smith and Spargo.....

Do we even have any mids left if Clarry goes down?? Might have to convince Daniel Cross out of retirement....

Hopefully both Lewis and Tyson have huge milestone games and will us across the line for the win.

Amazing to think he is only 21. Oliver in 4 years time could be a monster. Hopefully he enjoys his 21st year on the planet with some finals footy!

Omac stays. Has clearly missed lever back there, but is still a better option than any of the the vfl troop. JKH is done at the MFC. I'm sad for him, but that's footy. Maybe he breaks into Carlton and makes a name for himself there.

Geelong have a good mid field, but they aren't quick. Tyson isn't a clearance machine, but he can find the footy which will be important against the Geelong engine room. I'm torn, I don't think Hannan did enough to keep his spot, but Tyson just hasn't performed thus season.

If he keeps this B.S up he will just become a miniature version of Caroline Wilson.

Geelong game is worth 8 points to us in the run home. It's gives us 4 and takes 4 away from Geelong who should be going in as slight favourites gown at Geelong. Beating them is so important to our finals chances.

Geelong are not an overly quick team. We might need another inside mid to help mitigate the selwood/ablett/Dangerfield types around stoppages. (We will miss Viney against this mob) Hannan would be my out, but not sure if there is a guaranteed in that should be selected. Dom Tyson is an option but his season hasn't been one for the highlights reel so far.

His tackling and hands in close were good. He needs to hold his marks, and work on his contested work in the air. He was solid enough and deserves a second game. I'm really happy for him, earned a recall and didn't let the opportunity pass him by.

It doesn't matter who we bring in, we won't get anything near like for like for Jack. This just sucks, a massive blow. Tyson is logical, maybe Vandenberg might be an option in a few weeks when he builds form. Whoever it is won't be close to Jack.

I'm actually genuinely excited, given this is the first match I have been able to attend all season. Attending with a doggies fan so I hope it's me who get to gloate on the long ride home and not him. Carn the Dees!

Jeez Dom Tyson must be in the doghouse. He is now behind JKH in the pecking order.

Probably isn't the training regime that caused the injury, was probably bitten on the toe by petracca's f'king dog!

MFC - small forward problems Garlett did a bit, but not enough. Spargo was similar. We are in desperate need of a solution when the ball is brought to ground inside our forward 50. Melksham and Nibbler are also cooling off meaning we are very Hogan and Tmac reliant for kicking a winning score I don't have the answer, but this might be something to address in the draft.
