I’m not used to our depth I guess, amazes me to have so much talent in the VFL. I’m still recovering from a decade when we could barely put an AFL standard 15 players on the park let alone have 4 or 5 spare ones!

Fair enough. Just to me that bench looks light on for experience as the consistency of a player's performance doesn't tend to level out until they have at least 40 or 50 games up (some like Jack Watts never get there). Yes there are exceptions like Clayton Oliver. But I acknowledge Spargo and Fritsch have been very good so far this season, Smith I'll be interested to see what he can do.

Hmmmm 3 guys with under 10 games experience with Hunt, Tyson, Pedersen and Gartlett in the 2s. Hope Goody knows what he's doing we're meant to be playing for finals not in development mode!

Oscar will get cold because the ball wont ever be down there!

Would finish off our midfield perfectly....unless he wants $1 million per season we'd have to be the front runners as the other clubs on that list are miles off any real success

Have you watched them play much this season? Carlton are terrible, barely VFL standard skills, Essendon must be in complete disarray to lose to them: and even then the Bombers had 7 more scoring shots. Melbourne by lots.

I'd surprised if he wasn't back in our best side as soon as he regains form and confidence in the VFL. Too much pace, talent and X factor to be playing VFL all season! We need more run and carry especially at the MCG as well.

Neeld was no scapegoat he was a horrible excuse for a coach who prematurely ended the careers of young players and nearly ripped the heart out of our football club. He was so bad he should just about be sued for negligence! (yes I am suffering PTSD from his 30 odd games in charge) I don't particularly wish him well he's been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars over the last several years to completely turn everything he touches to ****. Anyway that's it I never want to think about him again...

Is daveydee the same guy that somehow tried to blame the supporters for team losing? Like the supporters (admittedly a small bunch) I was with in the Redlegs who faithfully turned up every week when the team won 2 games for the year in 2012 and copped 15 goal floggings most matches? What we were supposed to be happy when Mark Neeld took a list that could at least get a few big wins in '10-'11 and completely ran our team into ground?

We'll beat Carlton with or without the Curnows

Worst coach ever, how he ever got another gig anywhere in the AFL after what he did to us is beyond me

I remember thinking despite Carlton being an average side it was one of our best wins of the year because we were absolutely smashed with injury for that match

Makes a big difference when you can get your best 22 or close to it on the park every week doesn’t it...let’s hope we have Richmond 2017 luck from here on!

Are we the first team to crack 20 goals in a match this season? Pretty sure we are and could have been close to 30 if we'd kicked straight

Gold Coast to prove a real nuisance for 2 and a half quarters before we kick away for a reasonably comfortable win is my tip

Would love to see a Wizard Jnr at the club if we could pry him out of Freo....The Wiz, what a player unstoppable on his day

Viney will rip a hole through Gold Coast's young midfield, get him in if fit. We should win this one pretty easily the Suns aren't much good and have their best player out.

Jack Sinclair also dropped for Saints weird I thought he was one of their better players

St Kilda are the second lowest scoring team in the comp, even worse than Carlton....we're going nowhere this season if we cant get over the line

Jesse finished the match so you'd imagine he'd be ok to play, otherwise why send him back out there with a 6 goal lead?

He's a surprisingly smart forward for someone who played 100 games in the backline and only recently shifted. Was a CHF as a junior though wasn't he?

We look so much better with big Tom in the side, loved his curling snap for goal in the last quarter

I get this thread is satire but it wouldn't matter if we were playing Seaford 3rds this weekend, some supporters would come on here saying we are gonna get our arses handed to us

We seem to get lost mucking around on the wings of the wider MCG too much, allowing the opposition to drop back and intercept mark all day long (see Geelong round 1). Yesterday in the second half we noticeably went much more direct instead of playing wide. Need to attack through the corridor at the MCG more and spend less time farting about on the member's wing!
