Miller has to play CHF - we lacked a presence against Carlton at CHF, someone who could take a mark like Miller needs to play forward not in defence. Carroll will start on Brown, but Frawley has to have a go on him (unless of course Carroll somehow wins...). Maybe Bell to Bradshaw to start with, but I'm 100% certain that Bradshaw will beat whoever we put on him, therefore don't waste Rivers on him. Mind you, Rivers as a loose man in defence didn't really work on the weekend. Btw, now that Sylvia seems to be playing in defence, who will he play on?

I like it. But, considering he's not a poll option, I vote for Bruce. Not because I want it, but because I think that's what will happen (saw him giving a press conference today).

Well I would suspect that Whelan could take this one to the tribunal and hope to lower the 'intentional' conduct to either negligent or reckless which would lower the points. I can't believe that he got 2 weeks for that.

I absolutely agree, and what's more, I'll bet that Neita won't allow his career to finish like this. He'll work through his injury, announce his retirement and then beat the hell out of whoever he comes up against in his farewell match. Dunno who we play in the last few rounds (I know Port is one of them), but if we play MCG in round 22, there would be a huge crowd.

I don't remember much about this draft (other than the names of the players) - was Deledio a 'certainty' to go no.1 like Kreuzer was? If not, was Franklin's name mentioned?

Thanks mate. Yeh well after they'd kicked their 9th in a row I started focusing on some of the players, Frawley being one.

I can't believe more positive things aren't being said about him. I thought he showed a lot of promise and fits the game plan well - he attacks the ball, runs and carries, and can actually kick to a target. He's got strength too. Hopefully he keeps it going because he could fill the void down back.

Well in terms of brownlow he's got 3 vs Brisbane, likely 3 vs Melbourne, possible votes vs Adelaide so its a good start.

I like that idea. Both can kick goals and win the ball through the middle.

No, but then again, who expected them to beat Collingwood last week? No one, really. So even though, on paper, the different team is Carlton, we are not without a chance.

I'm happy to see Frawley back in. Would love to see him go to Fev first up. Gotta give him a go I say.

Thats the funniest thing I've read in years. The sad bit about is that probably the only truthful thing you've got is Jamar's crappiness.

Here's a suggestion from left field - Rivers.

Freo has gotta be our one and only chance should we fluff our chance this week. We will lose to Brisbane by quite a lot given that Bradshaw invariably kicks 5 or more goals against us. The last three you've mentioned will be interesting...

What, is there some rule saying that rookies get a minimum 2 year contract or something? Can you explain this one?

Based on his performance against Hawthorn I don't want him in the side until he puts in more of a defensive effort and works on his mobility. Having said that he's the future of our forward line so he needs AFL game time.

They've got 2 wins already and can play good enough football to win 3 more. No way they'll do that badly. I reckon Freo might do much worse than them.

Brown + Bradshaw + Black and co. kicking to them = Good Neitz + Robertson + whoever kicking to them = Not good

I noticed on the weekend that at most clearances around the ground Jamar would come sprinting in from wherever he was and contest the ruck WITH WHITE ALREADY THERE.. I cannot for the life of me understand why we need to have 2 ruckmen in the one contest (possibly because they're both pretty crap). Seriously, if this was the directive from the coaches, what the hell were they thinking? If not, then Jamar should be shot.

Sounds good to me, though I think Sylvia and Robbo only deserve one more go. I also say CJ out for Moloney

Great game for someone who's played 3 of the last 26 or something. Is the cornerstone of the MFC

How many possessions did Garland get today? 1? Not good at all

Well we've kicked 5 behinds in a row, so we could (and probably should) have had a bigger lead and maybe more confidence if we'd won the first quarter

First 2 of the quarter to them, thats 6 in a row to Geelong now, we're down by 19

Rivers sounds like he's beating Mooney, same with Carroll on Hawkins 112 disposals to 105 in 1st quarter our way
