The Neeld "I didn't see it coming" haunts me every time I look at Goodwin on match day!

Negatives: Still lack leadership. Lewis spends more time on all fours fumbling than being composed on his feet, Vince nearly time up, Jones well I've never been a huge fan. Backline seems confused and out of touch. Lever, Jetta, Hunt all bereft of confidence so far Goodwin. I'm not too sure he is up to it yet. All of last year we let teams get a run on with loose players out the back and easy goals, so far in both games this has happened twice. Brain fade quarters, as above. Harmes needs to stop spoiling our players going for big marks, in fact many have done this in recent weeks. No players at ground level allows for an easy opposition takeaway. Bugg, surely since mid way through last year he worked on his goal kicking. Seemed to work hard last night and run his guts out but coughs it up too often Lever. Been disappointing to say the least so far, is playing a bigger role as second tall rather than 3rd man up. Do we put Tom McDonald back there or bring in Frost to free him up. I think we may need Frost in this week to cover Ben Brown Disposal is still sloppy, although last night was humid and dewy. Salem looks lost umpiring Weather. Will this game have a Darwin like effect on the players like coming back from the NT, I certainly hope not against our bogey side. I'll be watching for heavy legs next week Every side in the comp will now see us as mentally weak, 50 point leads and we could still blow it. I think we've missed a good opportunity in the first two games to really stamp our foot on the comp and not show weakness. Team selection each week Positives: Gawn, Hogan, Petracca & Olivers starts to the season Stopping the momentum and attacking to run away 26 point winners, not easy to do in those conditions. Hogans run down and chase, something Jess would rarely do in times past. Return to form of Garlett, his lift provided the spark to win Oscar McDonald, I was critical of him a while back but hes developed into a very consistent player and important for us now, good on him. Oliver can be a star, when he actually kicks the ball hes quite a good kick. No injuries! Good start to the year I think 4 points, bank them and move on in the 8, lets build from here. Brisbane aren't as bad as people think, they have some real stars in their team and raw talent. Lowering our eyes and hitting up option in 50 rather than bombing it away Jury is still out on Goodwin for me, not sure if anyone saw the way McCartney stared at him but I'm sure a few of us were thinking the same. Let's [censored] North!

I personally feel hes been quite ineffective in both games and in my view isnt playing a team first role, for eg flying for pack marks constantly and spoiling our player in the best position. I think he is an important cog going forward but may need a stint at VFL for a week or two.

Out: Bugg, Harmes In: Hannan, Brayshaw

James Hird, Michael Voss.....

Not great? He won the F-ing Brownlow FFS! He was judged the best player in the league that year.

Just out of curiosity, why did Plapp and Rawlings switch? I find that odd as Jade is highly regarded.

No Woewodin in 2000?

I'm still buzzing, he was my idol, great work Demonland. What a great idea these podcasts are to put us back in touch with our childhood heroes.

Well at least my source about him fishing was true, would love a frothy with the great man one day.

@sue enough said.

Lol, they weren't

@Demonland Can you please ask: 1. Is it true he owns and runs a fishing charter and if so what is it called? 2. Can he chuck the boots back on? TY

I feel sad for Ablett, after the week he's had and the stress of getting to the Cats. You'd think both GC and Cats would've stitched it up early. Must say, am disappointed with Dees not having a crack at some of these players.

OK thanks JTR

Dogs going for Schache for P25

Wasn't a matter of being first to break it, but more a point of why didn't we have a crack at it. Look at some of these players and what they're going for. Must be a super draft this year

Matthew Lobbe has joined @CarltonFC from @PAFC for Pick 95.

The Dogs have offered pick 25 (a Stringer pick) to Brisbane Lions for Josh Schache.

Stringer to Essendon for picks 25 and 30

No matter how much everyone bags Essendon or Port, they have delivered this trade period and will be pushing for the same top 4 spot we want. They may not do well in finals but they'll be strong in the H&A. Stringer for those picks is a steal for them

I'd also go for Jackson Thurlow. Cheaper role players with skills

Lin Jong - I'd throw a pick at him. Outside, pace, run, nice skills.

Your comment is unnecessary, if you couldn't tell it was tongue in cheek from that emoji then go for a holiday dude.

Hits too many targets for my liking
