Why would you risk a further serious injury, play Pruessy. Lets shark to some other ruckman for a change. We have become an open book for everyone to read in the last 18 months.

We are well and truely a mess on here. I think Action my need to have a rest his body isn't quiet there yet should do a Weideman Apprenticeship, The one thing i truely don't understand is the acquisition of Tomlinson to play on a Wing, sure its a problem area for us but he's not suited to it. I've mentioned this before along with others, why not throw him at CHF and try and clunk a few. He's not bad above his head and has a reasonable tank. Really upset for H.Petty that he is not availible, he is the future CHF that lad.

That's exactly why the game against Brisbane was so important to win, to play a top opponent off a 4 day break in a game of AFL with no rotation is near impossible. Teams in Europe who play Football rotate their squad from a league game played on Sat or Sun. Their is usually 5-6 changes to a champions league match day starting 11, that's half a team, how many changes did we make? 2 changes, knowhere near enough changes to maintain quality of performance. Midfields containing (3-4 players) are usually replaced along with Fullbacks (2 players) are usually rested to maintain the high energy levels the positions require to keep team perfomances high. We were sluggish coming off a slugfest against Bris and to back it up in such a short space of time against a quality team was too much to ask. If it was a Adelaide, Sydney or Essendon might have had an improved chance against a physically lesser opponent. I've been thinking about it quiet a bit today how can a team recover and play a game of AFL in 4 days? Port had a full day of recovery up on us. As soon as they broke us early in the first i knew the game was up. Remember the turn around for games after ANZAC eve games against Essendon we would have another whole day preparation compared to Essendon and we would smack them everytime. It's a compromised comp we all know that, would like to see how other team play on these 4 day turn arounds and we might get a better perspective on our performance. Collingwoods turn next on a 4 day turn around but the draw is very kind against a weak Sydney side. We were the guinea pigs for the 1st experiment.

I'm watching Basic Instinct on Foxtel more thrills in 90 minutes than the last 2 years of watching this club.

Awesome Football were dishing up to the supporters and sponsors, they must be over the moon. We showed for periods of the game we were really competitive. ???????????? Give yourself a pat on the back Simon.

Season well and truly over, thanks for the memories.

Biggest [censored] pretenders since the Taliban.

How soft can you be.

I reckon the main thinking behind bring Tmac back in is to give Gawny more rest. He is shouldering 90% of the ruck duties during a testing period. We don't lose that presents of 2 marking forwards when Action goes into ruck duties. We need Tmac closer to goal for his conversion rate, he is a dead eye [censored]. My only concern is the ball coming out of the back line easily, but if they are kicking it to the right positions we should have the numbers in and around the drop of the ball. I can tell you this much i would rather the dump kicks going into a 2 talls and 3 defenders type scenario in the F50 rather than a 1 on 3 situations we have found ourselves in this year and last. This will open it up for the likes of Fritta, Melk and Pickett to work their magic. Its an exciting experiment to see if this formula works, if all these scientists hadn't worked on formulas in the past none of them would be in existence. I really think this could take us to the next level, lets see if the players and brains trust can pull it off.

I don't know what has gotten into the selectors of late they are making all the right calls. Tmac, Weideman and Action all in the same forward line looks scrumptious especially for the kick down the line to help elevate us under pressure it just looks dangerous. We could really go to another level tommorow night with all these options, they must have really looked into the way Brisbane smashed Port at the Gabba 3 weeks ago. Im feeling like Big Kev at the moment. I'm excited. Carn you mighty Rucking Dees.??

Learning from the best in Klopp, alot of people on here wouldn't like hearing that. We have tightened up at the back this year, Jurgen could be rubbing off on Simon, just waiting for the Forward line to click into gear. Could Tmac back in the line up unleash a 3 pronged Tall Forward line and take us to the promise land? One can only sit back and hope.

Neale was running hot for the 2nd qtr especially, Clarry could have gone forward for a period and Harmes to Neale to clamp down on him and disturb his rhythm. 5 minutes per quarter wouldn't have hurt Polly.

Ask Goldberg of WWE fame.

Exactly right, he was in a stationary position, a spear is executed with a 3-5 meter run up. Insanely stupid fine.

Really can't believe this decision as text book as it comes and he's 1k lighter, f me.

And the bombers paid for their footy trips for the next 3 years.

?

You poor bastards that lived through that, must have been torture. I admire the old Demon guard, have been through alot of pain.

Would have clamped down on Neale and won comfortably. Did not change the dynamic of our midfield set up one bit and it cost us.

Why doesn't Garry or Schwarta bring this into the public domain, a quick free from the umps will stop all this but the weak [censored] wont pay anything right in front of their noses. Starting to really [censored] me off Chris Fagan with his attitude, his arrogance on the SEN radio this morning was unbelievable.

Tmac's conversion rate alone gets him in on Thurs night.

Bennell will definitely not play.

The one thing i take away tonight is we played right into their hands around stoppages, we didn't try to change anything up around them to change the dynamic. We played at about 60% capacity tonight, everything seemed to go their way ricochets, smothers, umpiring decisions, inaccurate goal kicking on our part. Yet still we had enough of the game's clearer opportunities to win the game. That is what's irritating the most about the loss. We are currently 3-4 if we go 3-5 its all over even with the game in hand. Then the serious questions will start to get asked.

Text book tackle, got pinged for one in the third into Gardner's bread basket, its mind boggling. like i've said in my previous post they have absolutely no feel for the game, they are confused because they have so many people kissing in their ears without one clear voice. All theory and no practical learnings, don't worry though the text books and video will make them better decision makers. Where will they hide tomorrow the Steve Hocking's of the world? who is going to come out and explain the bull [censored] abhorrent decisions that transpired tonight? Razor Ray?FMD. I'm expecting Dee fans to blow up on SEN tomorrow morning.

It's Curtains if we don't beat the Power Thurs night. Went missing in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. We had a crack but when it counted we shivered in front of goal. Melk has ice running through his veins, clinical tonight. Viney massive along with Salem.
