Can we actually assemble a full team for this weeks game??

I would have thought any finals experience our team can get is better than none, and will benefit the team in future whether we can win the flag this season or not. Otherwise what's the point of even bothering with the rest of the year just put everyone in for surgery and phone it in.

We should get the job done in a scrappy game by about 20 points. Similar to the Sydney game

My Dad and I watched it in the 90s, he used to get a laugh out of the first 30 mins then fall asleep....it was entertaining back in the day but it's day was a long time ago

Another week of hmmmm selections, ANB was far from our worst last week....Wagner or Lewis were more deserving of a run in the VFL

Surely no reason to risk Viney if he is in any doubt whatsoever - we have plenty of contested ball winners to match it with whoever Gold Coast have, if Harmes, Brayshaw, Oliver, Jones etc can't get it done in midfield we're in big trouble anyway.

The thing that concerns me the most is it's not just any footy parent criticizing the club, it's a former 100 game AFL player who would know a fair but about injury management considering his own career was plagued with injury. Is he still upset with Melbourne over how his own injuries including several concussions were managed? Will Joel still be at the club next season? A bit to play out here...

Some reinforcements not too far away if we could possibly hold it together for 3 more weeks...

Is that Rob Mills?

Agree with you 100%, incredibly unprofessional for a player who was brought in to be a leader on a big contract to be out knocking back pints when he's still over a month away from being fit enough for senior selection. The penny dropped for Clayton when he was 19, May is 27 and still doesn't get it, its really not on.

he really should be sticking to mineral water until he at least gets fit enough to play again: unprofessional

Dunno how people get themselves into these fights, 25 years of going to the footy and I've never had the urge to get verbal or physical with an oppo supporter....even though I've certainly seen my share of d-heads!

First time we’ve seen our attacking handball run and gun game from last year all season: we’ve looked so slow and tentative this year. Hopefully it gives the boys the confidence to keep taking the game on.

I thought he should have retired at the end of last season and today’s performance only reinforced that.

I think the midfield often looks better balanced without Viney, not as many drawn to the footy and we seem to have more run. Was similar last year when we played really well before the finals started. Nothing against Jack I am a big fan of his but I do wonder how many inside mids we can play at once?

This is why I keep turning up to the footy wooo

Sack everyone and start again

Good luck to Declan, hopefully he can take a few nice grabs up forward, we have been struggling in that department.

Goody with his classic WTF selections yet again

I also have FOMO - fear of missing out when we do decide to play properly and get a win....guarantee the one game I decide to skip the boys will have a glorious victory

We wont win, I'm still deluded enough to go every week and convince myself by the opening bounce we will though.

YEAH the Toump lets get Cale Morton and Sam Blease for more outside run too!

Perhaps we should keep blubber-ing on then...

thats ok if you're just chewing the fat...

we need stop turning on each other and the club and stick fat, cmon!
