Docs Demons

I'm sorry but you can't drop TMac after his game last week. Would be a travesty of justice if Goody does.

Gee I hope it's not that exciting and close. Not sure my old heart will take it.

Like your ins Werridee however I would keep Windsor and give Lever a rest. He seems to me to be playing sore and can't move so he has a good rest with no game at Casey also. May for Lever with Rivers taking Sparrow's role (mid/fwd) and Howes taking Rivers role down back. Reckon we keep the kids playing until they are to sore to get up and also give Petty an extra week to get fully fit and healthy

I've been one of many on Fritta's back and justified with his efforts in the past few games but yesterday he got a bit of his mojo back playing up the ground and back which suits him. Played a very good, selfless game and a credit to him.

Was there yesterday and agree with all that 1st quarter was unacceptable and really took us to start playing when GC relaxed a bit and we came home in the last. Couple of easy misses which if we had of converted could have pinched it but GC deserved the win. We currently have to many VFL standard players, but we need to keep playing the kids in this back end of the season and see if they improve and look like being decent AFL players in 26. Likewise, Jeffo and JVR need to play the last games together. One thing yesterday that disturbed me was the lack of effort by Fritta. I watched him closely when he was over the outer side where we sat and he did not impose himself on the game at all. I know he kicked a couple but when Petty went down, I expected him to exert himself into the game leading up etc. however all he did was point to the players up field who had the ball to kick it over his head to Jeffo or Melks. He stayed about 30 meters from the kicker on wing and did not lead or run back to give an option and help out the others. He looked like a player that did not want to get involved or hurt.

I truly hope so GW as I and family (11 of us) will drive down for the game and wanting to see a win live. Boy we need it, but it will be tough albeit we have a decent record against them on the GC.

And Caddy. Two young forwards (19 & 20) that I've watched the last 2 nights that show forward craft, getting out back then leading forward plus the players up the field pass the ball to them well. Oh well, as Ghostwriter mentioned, maybe, could of etc.

AND he goes for marks with both hands!

Yep, this thing needs to get moving soon otherwise we are cactus, and zero players will come to us.

I would really like some players selected in the forward line that can at least chase, harass and tackle. Again, Petty and Fritta had no tackles but that is expected because they are unable or do not want to chase and put pressure on. It comes out of our forward line to easy unless Kozzy in in there. Don't know if Jeffo can put pressure on if unable to mark but we do need to try some different things. Petty, JVR, Melk and Fritta are slow and have no presence. Opposition just takes it out from them with ease.

Hey, Roy Boy, you made one mistake in your statement. Quote "The best coaches in the land" Unquote. If we had the best coaches in the land our skills would be at AFL level not a suburban club.

And Dun Dee it is starting to occur to me that we are just not good enough. Older players are slow, and the kids are struggling. We have plenty of decent VFL players but not up to AFL standard. Need a huge cull at end of season.

We certainly have the dumbest players in the comp. They have no idea. It hasn't changed for years. Just kick it in hope plus handball in hope. Every time it gets in our forward line, they take it out so easily and more often results in a goal.

Great news and if only we can get a home organized I am sure more players will want to come and play with us and Kozzy. He has shown great faith in the club's future and loyalty. Couldn't be happier.

With you on this. Gob smacked that JVR got a game in the first place. Has had ample chances and gives us nothing. His mate Petty was similar and whilst Fritta kicked 3 his efforts without the pill was ordinary at best and IMO probably lost us the game with blatant stupid decisions. Viney if fit for Langford who needs a rest and Jeffo for JVR plus if weather is OK play Campbell to give Gawn a break or if not throw Petty in the relief ruck role and toughen him up.
