Problem is we need a backup regardless, that backup is going to cost 400k plus a pick, if dees have to kick in cash to whoever wants to trade for Grundy what’s the point if we end up worse off or not better pick and cash wise not taking into account that the replacement will be worse than Grundy.

If Grundy goes I think he would be a better fit assuming he isn’t on some silly contract. Whenever I’ve seen him he always looked dangerous up forward I wasn’t aware he was also a ruck so that’s a bonus if we need him there to.

Only day rain predicted in the next fortnight is Thursday, pies must be out there doing a rain dance

Feel like they now want every team to have a player how very equitable of them. Where was that in our dark days, Nathan Jones would be a 4x AA by today’s standards

Fellow m50 here

I find it absolutely bizarre they can’t find space for one defender from the team with the best defence in the league.

We as a team look better with one ruck, to play Grundy we give up to much run a carry, vs blues we looked slow and part of that is due to 2 rucks

I think only change will be tmac for malksham, would like to see Hibberd come in for Turner but I don’t see Goodwin making any unforced changes from here on out

Always an unlucky player who misses finals, we had Jones in 2021. Yet another argument for grand final winner’s recognition to be extended to the greater team and not just the 22/23 of the day

Very scrappy game but looks like it’s getting on dees terms that qtr, should break in our favour if we continue

Not sure how a 22nd man selected can be the difference between disaster and not regardless of what you think of either of them.

Think be good to see a fwd line with one tall and melksham, fritsch and smith playing more mobile, question is if Gawn goes off jvr needs to ruck and we have no tall fwd

Sounds like a bug has been going round the club, wouldn’t be surprised if there is a few late changes on Sunday.

Lucky for us our game is after all the other results are known, I can’t imagine we would loose deliberately if we were going to finish 3rd with a win and play lions or port but I could foresee us resting some players if we have a game with pies locked in

Seems like Fritsch will be back this week, I’d guess that either means Smith out or goes back. Personally I only like him up forward. Today showed we need a 2nd tall we have to give Tmac a run if he is ready, not sure who would make way for him however logic would say it’s Melksham but on form that couldn’t happen, that would only leave a small like Chandler, ANB or Laurie, we definitely need more from our smalls none really fired a shot today. I can’t see Tomlinson keeping his spot, either Smith goes back or Hibbo comes in, personally I’d prefer Hibbo since he gives stability and will let May and Lever concentrate on there game.

Port tanking to play pies over lions

Not just that but his either lost his man or given to much space on numerous occasions, at least 4 of there marks inside 50 I’d attribute to him

Can we sub Tomlinson off, complete liability not sure why he was bought into the team

Goal or not we were outplayed tonight and the blue deserved that win more than we did, they came to play and kept the pressure up for 4qtrs while we chose when to go tonight.

Fwd line was a shambles again, wont be going far unless they can solve that for finals

I’d keep Smith in the 22 only if we play him as a fwd, Pig gets elevated to the 22 from sub and Harmes is the only out for Oliver. I wouldn’t be messing round with Grundy, Brown or Tmac fwd, Fritch will be back for finals and will be a direct replacement for Smith then.

All the worry over the best 22 once Oliver and Frisch back problem solved

Interesting no excuse then I guess

Always like this down there, that end has all the scores. Next qtr they just need to go defensive and counter punch them in the last with the wind

My Sunday unexpectedly just freed up,
