Boots and all

...surely the Blues are a shot too.

I guess Fullarton is worth rolling the dice on, though I'm aware that he hasn't been in great form either. If confidence in his body is the problem, Petty may regain that confidence more quickly in the VFL. Since he's picked though, I hope he takes 15 marks and kicks 5.

...and adding to that having high workrate tackling forwards to lock the ball in the 50.

Yes. Less minutes for McVee and Windsor. It will probably fail, but I think part of the reason the midfield depth is lacking is due to lack of exposure. I think it's worth taking some risks, especially given our current situation.

I'd really like to see some others players get some more exposure in the midfield now that Trac is out and Viney and Oliver are out of form. I'd love to see Rivers, Windsor, ANB and McVee get more midfield time. I think our season may be shot and we lack depth in this area so it would be great to see how some of these players perform with decent minutes in there.

Agree with this, one is an early career with at least some improvement expected, the other should be in their prime and isn't performing.

This really concerns me, because any replacement will struggle. Our list is atrocious.

For a bloke traded for his skills...amazes me.

Just a more skilled side, simple as that.

Does Vines turn the ball over every time he touches it? Serious question.

13 scoring shots apiece 🙄

Even if we get well on top and win most contests it wont result in goals because we butcher the ball. We get in open space, no pressure and cant take advantage. It's so frustrating to watch as a supporter.

We are turnover merchants!!

If they get the ball outside of the contest quickly their speed will kill us. I think this will be a very fast filth side, to compensate more for the lack of height.

We may have personnel deficiencies although this may be due to having the wrong suite of players to execute our current gameplan, which require more speed and higher skill level, I believe we are lacking in both aspects unfortunately.

I get conniptions on hearing some of the terminology Goody uses. I really hope this isn't how he speaks to the players and is just reserved for media conferences.

Haha, lucky then 🤣

That is a danger game too.

It annoys me that our injury list isnt too bad compared to other clubs yet we still cant manage to field a team that wants to compete.

Just play man to man for a while at least make each player accountable.

We will get beaten by 100 points at this rate. Haha, May looked like a rookie defender then. Hopeless.

Maybe we swap in Coburg's list 🤣

I hope he can play every game from now to the GF. Fitness issues are his Achilles heel unfortunately and always seems to provide the backdrop to his form issues.

Ok slippery conditions police, I copy! Alice Springs is nowhere near Darwin, in the middle of the desert and played during the day = not slippery.

I assume it wouldn't be during the day, may be at night? Not even sure if it's a day or night game.
