I heard he was a mate of the Yarran that passed away so maybe still in PERTH? Unsure if true though

Just saw the bombers side, if we don’t beat that side we’ve got serious issues.

I don’t agree, he tapped it to 3 tigers in the square on Tuesday, it was beyond stupid. Always going to be sharking but he needs to think about what he’s actually doing imo

One thing I did notice the other night was Richmond players were always front and centre and we rarely had any. I mean this is bloody basic stuff, you learn this in mini league.

Oh well, at least he’ll be rested up for the following week, not all bad

Didn’t Mahoney or Jackson say we’d be playing finals in 2016 or 2017? We missed last year after we raised the white flag and if we don’t make it this year it’s a failure IMO. I just don’t understand why we’ve gone backwards, something stinks. If we don’t beat Essendon with their injuries then some serious questions need to be asked of the coach and football department. As it is, the players are already bereft of confidence and it’s a long season ahead, especially with no first round pick. So over it, it can change quickly but my dog says it won’t

Assume we’ll lose, that way if we win you’ll be excited ? if we lose, Demonland will go into full on meltdown I think

They said on Fox footy last night that Fantasia would miss from memory

Why didn’t the club say “rested” then instead of “omitted” rested after 4 games? Maybe young Bayley isn’t one of Goodys favourites

The issue with Gawn is himself. Constantly tapping to outnumbered areas, to opposition players, gets angry and belts it away where the other team swoops for a fast breakaway, flicks over the back without watching who’s there, it’s a real issue and look completely like he’s getting ahead of himself, or just not smart. He’s getting a lot of hit outs but I’ve been really disappointed in Max so far, he needs to be smarter than this. It could be the difference between winning and losing.

There’s plenty who are better than what we’ve got too

Yep it was a rubbish game until we waved the white flag

The concern from here after two decent losses is if the players fully lose confidence, that’s what I’m worried about as we know what happens then. Hopefully the inclusion of TMac and Viney gives the boys a big lift over coming weeks, we just need to grind it out until then and get a couple of wins, if not then look out.

That’s the major frustration though isn’t it, on OUR day we can beat anyone and when we have a bad day out we’re putrid. I think we were more consistent last year.

That’s half the issue as well, Vince, Jones and Lewis can’t execute anything. All good and well to rack up cheap stats but they’re meaningless most of the time. Bring back Daniel Cross

B: LEVER, O.MCDONALD, JETTA  HB: HIBBERD, T.MCDONALD, HUNT C : SALEM, OLIVER, TYSON HF: KENT, HOGAN, MELKSHAM F: GARLETT, WEIDEMAN, PETRACCA  FOLL: GAWN, JONES, VINEY  IC: BRAYSHAW, FRITSCH, HANNAN

My biggest problem and one that’s the most cause for concern is why have we gone backwards, we shouldn’t be this bad and players have gone backwards in a big way since last year it isn’t funny. Big 4 weeks coming up.

Richmond didn’t play that well, lots of skill errors. They’re being sat on a pedastal by the media. We were just very lucky they didn’t play their best or they would’ve been 8-10g up at a half time

Yet tigers bring in a young kid called Higgins who tears us apart and looks like he wasn’t troubled by us. The young card is getting too very long in the tooth.

Because it was only a 1-2 week injury, he also apparently said at a function on Tuesday that he’ll be right to play v Essendon. Personally I’d rather get games into kids and he and Vince retire, but we’ve got no kids, scary really, nobody in VFL even outplaying the Casey players, scary thought.

They have one less day break and some injuries and will still beat us

So maybe play Hogan in the Richo/Lynch role on the wing and have Tom CHB, Weid CHF and Pedo FF? FB ....... Oscar ...... CHB ...... Tom...... C Hogan, .......,....... CHF ...... Weideman ...... FF ...... Pedersen.......

I had him in mate and pulled him out at the last minute. Don’t think we can play Weid, Hogan, Pedo and TMac in the same side? I was all for pedo to come in for Richmond but to Sams credit and my surprise I think he did ok, especially relief rucking which surprised me

Out: Stretch, ANB, Harmes, Kent (injured) In: Tom McDonald, Hannan, Fritsch, Lewis speed, skills and experience in.
