Garbo

Definitely should be attempting to get him, hopeful we are at the point where someone like him will come for success rather than money. Much like danger to Geelong

Sure we could get De Goey, just don’t cry that we have to give up Petracca and Brayshaw to do it

We looked one dimensional because we panicked and all crowed round the ball yesterday rather than just a few going in, once the ball came out into space the pies inevitably had an out number making us look slow as a result. The players need to realise that everyone going in isnt the best option. Buggered if I’m going to watch a replay but I would suspect Viney, Oliver and Jones were the culprits and need to work together better

Badly exposed for height in the backline yesterday especially once Oscar went off, so Frost probably comes in for Smith Given out mid has been beaten the last 2 weeks VFL form should dictate Tyson and Stretch both come in, first out on form is probably Harmes, and given Spargo gets up the ground I don’t see why Stretch can’t play his role. Another option is Garlett however I haven’t seen anything from the vfl reports to indicate he has bashing the door down, I’d be bring in Bugg before him if you absolutely wanted another fwd Perderon also doesn’t look up to it and makes our fwd line to top heavy, thought Tim Smith was stiff to be dropped so I’d bring him back for the fwd/ relief ruck role he also gives more when the ball goes to ground than either Pedo or Weid

Maybe to soon but time for Tyson, Stretch and Tim smith to come back, Frost to unfortunately we are just to small and once Oscar went down we had no chance. Pedo is done in my books, did some ok things but the game has gone past him, think him playing fwd is part of the reason hogan had a stinker. Spargo back to the 2s good first year but time to stop mucking round and get ready for finals. Harmes has had a good run but he’s keeping Tyson out who I think deserves another go Joel Smith good efforts just to small to play on the 2nd fwd or 1st when Oscar is off

Most disappointing thing was today felt like déjà vu of round 23 last year, it’s like we learnt nothing since then. We had no answer to there run and spread last time or this time. You don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water as we are probably better than 12 other teams but their is some questions that need answering if this year is to be anymore the a foray into the 8

All these people calling for Vince and Lewis to be dropped where have you been the last 6 weeks, silly to judge a player off 1 game

No Tyson

Pedo and stretch for mine, think hibberd will play levers role and a runner will come in to play the role hibberd was playing

Other than Franklin due to the number of games missed, and Martin who is just in on rep you could make an argument for all those named, at least he didn’t stack it full of midfielders. Melksham wouldn’t be far off getting in that team in place of Dusty and this coming game will decide the Gawn v Grundy debate, Jetta also would be close

So with Wines and Gaff the team would look something like this, just take out Vince and Lewis B: Michael Hibberd, Oscar McDonald, Neville Jetta HB: Angus Brayshaw, Jake Lever, Christian Salem C : Ollie Wines , Jack Viney, Andrew Gaff HF: James Harmes, Jesse Hogan, Jake Melksham F: Tim Smith, Tom McDonald, Christian Petracca Foll: Max Gawn, Nathan Jones, Clayton Oliver I/C: Bayley Fritsch, Mitch Hannan, Alex Neal-Bullen, Charlie Spargo Emg: Jeff Garlett, Tom Bugg, Dom Tyson, Billy Stretch Maybe we can go the 4 peat

Rance is an out and out gun who dives and plays dirty, I hate him just like I hated Carey. Would have loved either if they played for dees though.

I agree you wouldn’t get that from Garlett but you would from Bugg, 2 weeks back he kicked 5 and had 20 odd disposals. He’s been playing very well since going back to the vfl Keilty is in line to replace Lever, was named in the best last week playing back so it’s his to lose tomorrow. Pedo for Tim Smith if he’s injured, loved his game the first 2 weeks, hopefully today he was just down due to soreness.

I had forgotten how much of a natural talent he had, as good as we are now we don’t have anyone who can do what he did, could have been on the same level as Eddie Betts if he had just applied him self and had been in right environment.

Was at the game sitting in the wing, I was specifically referring to his tendency to go down the middle from the back 50, 1 today resulted in a direct goal, did the same thing against blues 2 weeks earlier. That wasn’t the only thing just the one that stood out most

Question now is does frost come in for Lever or could they go with Pedo, Tyson could come in for Vince maybe, struggled today and made his usual silly turnovers

Round 16 was when they lost to saints by 67 points, I expect we will have a similar game or 2 at some point his year, just have to keep in mind when it happens that this isn’t like the past anymore and we still win the lot

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a few changes this week to freshen up the legs, the guys looked stuffed in the last qtr on the weekend. I just get the feeling we will be flat this week as a result

If I was tom id be asking for whatever Hogan is getting (from memory the talk at the time was he signed for unders compared to what he could have got to go home), I just hope the club has put enough away to pay for that plus whatever we need to resign the rest of our young talent as they come out of contract.

Why would you say that, I love that Viney is back but you can guarantee he would have had more impact then Viney did today

For those saying Garlett in for Spargo. Can they elaborate what Garlett has done in the 2s to get back in. If anyone is coming back in for Spargo it would be Bugg

Whoever comes out for Viney will be stiff, up till last week I would have said ANB but then he just went and played his best game for the year. Tyson would be the next cab of the rank but he’s been better than ANB every week but last, or do we mess with the fwd line and drop Spargo and move ANB fwd full time.

I just like that we are not relying on the same few players to win these days, it was only 2 or so years back where if Jones, Tyson and Vince didn’t all have good games were toast. It’s like night and day. The fact a player can of Tyson’s ability is now fighting for a spot in the 22 and we can put games into a developing player like Weideman while still winning says it all, almost any other team would kill to be in our shoes. While we might not get there this year it finally feels like we are going to be a team others look at with dread to be playing. Even in the Daniher years we didn’t have that

Goodwin confirmed in his interview that both hogan and petracca will be named but will have to pass a fitness test on Saturday

Beyond this year Vince will be gone and Lewis the year after. Tyson will still be required even with a fully fit team unless someone not currently getting a game over takes him. Current candidates are: Stretch, Maynard, Balic, and whatever other untried or yet to be drafted players we acquire, even in a best case I don’t think any of these are likely. 2 of these will probably have to be playing just to make up for the loss of Lewis and Vince any way Just think if Tyson isn’t playing for us then our other so called NQR players are definitely playing ANB and Harmes. Who always seem to be the first people want out.
