Docs Demons

Agree. Only change required. Taylor, Heath, Bill & Jeffo need continuity and confidence will grow. TMac for Petty will do me. This team that ran out today whilst stuffed up a few times and skills need improving, you can't discount them having a huge crack. Also, Heath has to stay. 5-day break and Gawny needs some help.

Bloody oath he did. Harassed and was in a lot of contests which he halved. I would keep him in just for his own confidence.

Nothing to see here.

Yep. Three words sums up the difference in the teams. Skills, Skills, Skills. They're having a crack, but our skills are terrible plus a few players take short steps.

I am hoping for the best and a decent effort, but my gut says we may have to start tomorrow to be a chance.

Yep. Have to agree. Hoping for the best but they bat very deep in the middle and our kids are just not up to it at moment plus our guys with 50 plus games are just not improving to be good/great players. Plenty of plodders.

Picket. You sometimes come out with some good stuff and the real issues. Bombers kids were that far in front of ours it was crazy. They also hunted the ball whereas a few of ours were a bit TIMID. Saw Lindsay, Langford, Windsor and L.Picket shirk it a few times. We covered a few cracks in last couple of games due to Gawn, Kozzie and Steele dominating. Whilst these 3 players were our best today, they weren't brilliant, so the others needed to front up but unfortunately, they couldn't or are not good enough. I hope King makes a statement after that game and ensures those that continually let us down are dropped.

Exactly Jibroni. Likewise, I nearly got on the computer at half time to vent my anger but decided not to as the guys were actually trying and having a crack. Just as well as I would have looked a fool like many on here.

The Cats had the umpires in their pocket, playing on own ground and Crows had a few of their best out. That tells me the farm boys are not very good.

What has he actually done to be so important to a few on here. Has not set the world on fire at all.

Concur Picket. The bloke is a fair bit off being a champion and why in hell would he want to come to us when we really don't have a home base or state of the art facilities. Only chance is if we win a bidding war but IMO I would rather go for two decent players that would beat one half decent player.

I'm starting to get over this Kids thing. Other than L.Picket who is not up to AFL standard at moment, most of the others are into their 2nd or 3rd years and need to get up to speed. Freo had a younger list overall and belted us.

With you on this Picket. Watched the Hawks game and their 2 rucks dominated and worked over the young ruck from Bombers. Would have been good for Gawn and Moose to work over TDK in similar fashion. This aside I reckon we will win this.

Tell the Crows that and yes, I picked them.

3.10pm start up here in Qld. Good time for beer o'clock and watch on Fox. Any Ballarat supporters that have intel on weather as looked up BOM and chance of storm and rain in the arvo !
