We called it on spargo in the changes thread! Some jack higgens youthful type of crumbing spark defintely needed

Maybe he and lewis had an arm wrestle the week before as a Goody idea for a replacement to the macho military camp. ?

I meant collectively, we should be good enough to cover. If not, then we have larger issues than Tracc being out.

I think it could be an advantageous 1 week out, if it means Pedo comes in and his form forces Goody into keeping him in the team. Petracca is a coverable loss.

Im more confident of beating Essendon, GCS or StK than Carlton. Their defensive press has contained us well and they probably fancy themselves given the last few matches were only decided in the last.

Ironic given that in the same breath you just said that last years leading goalkicker was "close to career over" after just 2 bad games.

Heres an idea: Garlett AND spargo. Its ok to have more than one small crumber and a stack of plodding half fwd mids in there. I want some dynamism and youthfulness in there. Envious of Richmond and Jack Higgins to say the least.

Its almost as if he's a slow contested posession midfielder thats been lumped into the forward line and told he's a small forward.

I just wish we could clone Salem and have him put a clamp on a small forward and protect the crumb out the back, but also be up the other end providing a class inside 50s or presenting like Bruest for an accurate shot on goal. But TMAC back is great. I hope we play him and weid. Risking being top heavy is better than having ineffective half forwards imo. But then again, etihad next week...

Maybe Salem should go forward when Viney returns.

I saw the fox footy vision of harmes being dragged into the contest in middle so that we had no targets forward, no nous at all. Bring in pederson for harmes. He can proviee a target with Weids. Wagner, why is he flying for spoils with Lever, hibberd and Omac inbthe vicinity? What is the point of Wagner?

goody just said we need more time with big bodies of hogan and petracca in middle on sen, so weed needed up forward

We probably should have given Jimmy bartell a 3 year contract instead of Lewis, if we're going to fallover to pieces whenever it rains

What's Darren Bennett doing these days?

He might be talking to Goodwin about selecting him.

Thank fuching god we're now the Demons.

I dont know whats more worrying: Having Viney injured for first 8 rounds, or being so reliant on one players leadership to turn around our fortunes. Either way, we're 2-2 so not much to turn around. Revisit this in a few weeks. I dont think Viney is a magic bullet. We will undoubtedly be far stronger with him in the team, but lets not pretend he doesnt have his own flaws and like Jonesy at times, has also failed to have a big influence in swinging momentum back or stemming the tide when the going gets tough. He's only in his second year as captain, so i just don't see his absence as the only issue standing in the way of us changing past habits.

Cant we give Keilty a go ahead of Frost? Frost from memory was recalled and dropped again soon after late last year. Playing dumb and not having this zone d down pat just seems like a reoccuring issue for him and he cant possibly be in our long term future plan.

Would've been a bit too painful to participate in the circlejerk that is AFL360 this week.

I'm here for the Sicily v Bugg middleweight title fight.

Great to see Doedee being pantsed. Crow [censored] thinking lever was easily replaceable. Most hated club now. Wish them decades of failure.

Harder to take drugs interstate through airports

The pies have always been an excellent road team, seem to always do well over in Perth too

Thats fine. But we should be asking how good pick 18 will be? Probably a talent that would be in the 10-16 range of our best in 3-4 years time. Big deal.

He probably has that Nth nobody that pushed him into the head on marking contest to thank for this nomination. As others have said, well down on best, but people in media who think in soundbytes have latched onto him for his reputation from last year. Not complaining.
