12 tackles thats a massive game from a pressure forward

No way I'd rest him this week unless he is truly injured....if May gets suspended its the perfect opportunity for him to get confidence and touch back against younger and less experienced opponents

We should pound the Suns into oblivion: young injury weakened team who can't wait for the season to end vs a hungry team with this group's first chance for finals....should be a no-contest

Finals so close now....2 more wins and we're probably safe

I reckon our midfield got right on top in that 2nd quarter we just wasted too many opportunities going forward

FFS

I reckon he's a good player once he gets his confidence up and going, you can't have too many midfielders especially when injuries hit. The question is whether he wants to move on to be guaranteed more game time at a club without our huge depth of inside mids.

Play the kids then?

Brilliant news, Gus, Trac, Clarry 3 young stars all locked away our midfield is pretty set now

It's bad, it's real bad, but it feels like we are close to being a good side for the first time in, well forever really.....now isn't the time to jump off. Somehow we have to fix our defence though because when the floodgates open there doesn't seem to be any stopping it.

How the hell did we [censored] that up

I reckon we'll go ok, we have a big bodied combative midfield that can take it up to their "superstars" (who actually aren't living up to expectations this season). As long as we don't continually bomb it to their intercept defenders as we did in round 1 (Tom Stewart killed us), we have every chance to get the win.

Max could break the all time hitout record up against Stanley and Blicavs who aren't even proper ruckmen

Having a great year first up - do we think he'll eventually develop into a player who can spend some time in midfield? Appears to have the grunt to play as more than a small forward despite his small stature.

Hibbo's last 2 weeks have been solid but unspectacular and we've still won by plenty....bad to lose him but he hasn't been burning it up in recent times

Ah Bollocks!

Geelong lost to the baby Bulldogs a couple of weeks ago then beat Sydney at the SCG: conclusion like us they are wildly inconsistent so pretty much any result is possible

Hard to see him leaving anytime soon to play with a side that looks a fair way off finals footy....Freo have an ok list but a lot of gaps still. And playing under Ross "The Floss" Lyon! The way they move the ball he'd be lucky to kick 30 goals a season!

Of all the players in the VFL side at the moment I think he has the most attributes that can impact on the AFL side...can play midfield or forward, decent pace, is a powerful type. Not a lot of finesse to his game but a lot of brute force!

We can do it! Sending positive vibes to the club and players now!!

After 12 years out I'd take making the finals in any way at all!

Salem is another player who has showed he can go on ball and win clearances if needed. Great as Jack is we are well stocked for inside mids, it'll hurt us to some extent but every team is dealing with injuries. Kennedy did his back for Sydney, Nic Nat knee at West Coast, Collingwood Treloar etc...

He’s had a good year with a couple of off games recently but gee, retiring him at the end of the season is way premature

Thought he played OK, contributed to the result

It’s sad coming here to our home and watching us serve up crap, cmon boys lift!
