Gawn shouldn't be played forward. He isn't a good kick for goal so it's an easy decision for me. The best thing about Mcdonald and Ben Brown is that they kick straight.

Is thr fact that we're playing well this year a testament to Goodwin or is it proof at how much he and the club have underperformed the last 2 years? Other than a few draftees we are essentially the same team.

agree. people the people commenting aren't physios, nor have they seen the injury or know anything about the healing process. They're just scared based on previous history. if he had a blister on his foot, its still listed as a foot injury but it has no relation to previous injuries.

Putting Nibbler and Fritsch in the same sentence as Brayshaw is a little unfair. Brayshaw is an inside mid who has been forced out onto the wing where all of his positive attributes don't get utilised. Further to that, all of his flaws in his game (lack of leg speed, defensive pressure and foot skills) are getting exposed. They either have to find another spot for him or look to get a 2nd rounder for him and cut our losses. He needs to do it for himself. How does one go from 3rd in the brownlow to a fringe player.

I don't like the narrative about keeping viney out until the dogs etc. The 4 points against Adelaide are worth just as much as against the bulldogs. We have been getting hammered in centre clearances so if he is deemed fit he comes straight back into the guts. We don't want to lose to adelaide with bulldogs and lions following.

way to make a generic comment. facts are fact. Brayshaw had 10 clangers. One of the highest numbers on the ground. And turned 3 of them over in a row. why are you protecting his performance? It's odd.

has always been in my eyes our best mid, including Petracca. I thought people wanted him dropped last year due to his disposal efficiency? Good lord.

agreed on the stats front but in this instance its reflective. Did you watch yesterdays game? did you not notice how brayshaw made mistake after mistake.

great analysis. 57% disposal efficiency the week before too. I don't know how smart you are but anything above 50% isnt a pass.

watch the last 3 weeks mate. horrendous in every game. people are starting to clue on to it now too which is pleasing. he may not get dropped but he should. 10 clangers yesterday and 58% disposal efficiency.

i'm not saying we need to do this now as Petty is doing well but why can't they make weidemans secondary position as a backman? i think he has all the tools to be a great backman. speed, agility, foot skills, height. Probably not on the gorilla types but on the bailey fritsch types or oscar allens i think he would do well.

jackson runs underneath the ball far too often.

Same thing could be said for all the demonlanders that wanted Mcdonald moved back. Those people should deactivate their demonland account, go and watch the first 6 years of McDonalds career as a backman and then create a new account. 'Move him back'? jesus christ.

i was the first one on demonland to say that Brayshaw needed to be dropped (got criticised for it too) and nothing has changed. Absolutely horrendous by foot and offers nothing defensively. Chandler has to go. You can't have a guy have 1 kick in 2 hours of football and maintain this loyalty of earning your spot. No free rides! Out: Brayshaw, Chandler. In: Melksham, Sparrow

some players are just better suited to afl than vfl due to increased speed and skills honouring spread.

It says that we need to enter in our credit details ($0 charge) to watch it. is this right?

I reckon Rosman should be close to an afl call up soon. He's been very good in the vfl and his skillset is what we need in the seniors.

We're getting smashed in centre clearances with the best ruckman in the game. How is a part time ruckman in Majak going to change anything? Clearly its a structure and spacing issue.

For the people that wanted McDonald back a couple of weeks ago, please do not comment. Weideman in.

We have 1 or 2 picks in the midseason draft. Any whispers on who we would be looking at?

well they almost beat us so I wouldn't laugh too much

Almost as silly as those you suggested Mcdonald plays back.

people that even suggested mcdonald go back need to think twice before posting. it was a mind boggling idea.

Brayshaw should've been dropped last week, but alas he was chosen and he played horrendously again. He turned it over regularly or kicked in on the full. We can't carry his foot skills anymore. Must drop

Not sure how you could put Petracca in the best. He tried to do way too much and either got caught holding the ball too often or butchered it by foot. Not a great game by him.
