I can see where he is coming from he’s getting his premiership boys together, 15 in this team, missing Rick plus 8. My only concern is that we have no height on the bench, I would have had Disco, Jeffo or Cream on the bench. If we lose a tall we are screwed.

He doesn’t play for us.😁👍

Which tall on the bench helps Max and covers injuries.????

We sure did as Maysie said it was a successful interstate business trip.😁👍

Fantastic news for Bailey and Natalie with the birth of baby Noah, May help explain a few things, it’s such a big deal having your first bub.👍🌸

Just finished listening to the podcast, thanks Andy, Binman, George and all contributors you covered a lot of territory. We are in a lot of trouble but I agree that we need to press on with the new game plan and we need to get a better tactician up in the box, we really do miss Adem Yze’s management and guidance, especially with a couple of new coaches and I don’t think that learning the ropes is the best way to learn coaching at AFL level. A great listen but so many problems, hopefully getting a few more young guns who can kick may bring us all a bit of joy going forward.😁👍

Don’t disagree totally SWYL but we missed a number of opportunities and burned a few players due to poor decisions by their teammates.

The coach or are our players not looking inboard and making an easy pass to a player making space to open up the game, selfish, dumb football. Not rewarding a teammate’s efforts or not trusting their ability to make the kick.

Better than Melbourne Storm. lol.😁👍

I’m with the rest of you Tom Fullarton deserves a run of games, Fwd pocket, CHF/Ruck, don’t care who comes out for him. Maybe Disco down back?

Big thanks to Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and all posters, sounds like all our young brigade in Kolt, Judd, Jeffo and perhaps Lindsay are ready to play but that is bad news on Rick. Still I would rather him get that troublesome ankle sorted out so he can get back to his best. Some tougher calls this week I hope.

Petty, Spargo and Sharp were annoyingly poor so all three need a taste of Casey until they show that they are trustworthy. Depending on who is fit I would hope for :- lever / Adam’s for Petts Fullarton CHF needs to be rewarded and we need JvR out of the ruck Brown in for Spargo he runs hard and tackles with intent (10 tackles) Seriously consider Seston and Verall If any of Lindsay, McVee or Tholstrup were available I would have them back in as well.

48,401 slowly sneaking up towards 50,000, I thought it would be a significant drop off but not to this magnitude our current form is not helping our numbers. Will be lucky to reach 58,000.

Thanks for your efforts DD it appears that some of our veterans are really struggling with the new game plan do you think JV is more suited to our old crash and bash contest game style. We have an ingrained contest to contest game style and now are looking for a fast transition game relying on a more skilled subset, I’m thinking the young brigade will adopt quicker than our older players. I think that we need to enjoy the happier environment and now concentrate on getting our fitness and skills up to scratch.

They have always played that game style Roost it, chipping around in the backline waiting for a loose man but we used to be able to score on turn over so it didn’t matter that they always had a stack of uncontested possessions and marks. What I don’t understand is why can’t we revert to a more close checking game plan when required to close them down allowing opponents to have 17 uncontested marks is ludicrous.😁👍

DD is that our lowest ever team score? The new game plan is pretty shizen, looking at the coaches box last night didn’t give me any confidence that they have a handle on our situation. They beat us in all kpi’s, they played keepies off racking racking up uncontested possessions in our forward line all night and we were powerless to stop them.

Thanks DD not sure how we hung in that game for so long, we had 10 of the bottom 12 players on the ground. Fritta and Kozzie both played well but 0.6 between them is atrocious.

6 - Steven May 5 - TMac 4 - Max 3 - Pickett but wasteful 2 - Jake Bowey 1 - Clayton Tracc & Chin were more than handy, our bottom six really stunk it up.

Like most on here hoping for an ice breaking win but expecting a loss, odds are against us. Will tell us a lot about our season.

Thanks Ollie, Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters, greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing who’s in and who’s out tonight.

Totally agree Roost it they are only young but Oozze class and outside run that we badly lack, getting Kozzie and Windsor back this week will be enormous but can’t wait to get Judd, Kolt and Lindsay back as well.

Thanks DemonKolt and all posters, did you get inside DK?

I think that Lever and Disco will get a recall this week as well FTB as long as Rick has fully recovered.

Just listened to the podcast and like to thank Andy, Binman and George plus all contributors. A great listen but also very sobering I also was very disappointed with our efforts over the past two weeks so have modified my expectations for the rest of ‘25.

That would certainly force our hand Macca but we aren’t in that situation at this point in time.
