Weid begins his charge in the coaches votes 10 Clayton Oliver (MELB) 8 Angus Brayshaw (MELB) 4 Sam Weideman (MELB) 4 Peter Wright (ESS) 4 Ed Langdon (MELB)

Smooth mover, not a plodder

Goodwin said in his presser that Trac is fine and will train as per normal How 'fine' he is, is debateable but seems like he'll be good to go for this week anyways

I think it's important to remember our first choice fwds at the start of 2021, were Brown & Weid prior to injury

Lever confirmed in Petty playing VFL Hibberd 2 weeks away

Gibcus was always touted as a top 10 pick not really sure how that works

McDonald would have signed for peanuts and can play at either end of the ground. I was surprised they re-signed him for a further two years but can't imagine it'll influence any list management decisions. He'll be good depth or rise from the ashes once again, either is fine.

Better odds of me running out there I would have thought

I don't think you can afford to have a key fwd as a role player Binno, I'd be pretty staggered if McDonald doesn't make way for Brown. I really hope Weid is like Petty last year. Gets a gig due to injury, with reasonably low expectations, but continues to build and eventually becomes a valuable piece and we don't look back. His recent history says that is unlikely, but he certainly has the ability..

Van Roo late out

Sparrow fumbles galore when he's around ball.

I'll drop him off an exercise bike if that's what it takes

IN: Brown, Lever OUT: McDonald, Hunt

Weid is kicking 4 I can feel it in the air!

Max just posted an insta story of himself at a cafe about 20 minutes ago. I think you've fallen victim for an April fools joke..!

Someone needs a reduction in minutes if Harmes roles through as a tagger. Petracca is the most versatile.

I'd be sending Harmes straight to Parish given Merrett it out. Trac & Viney can take a haircut on their midfield minutes and play a bit more forward. Clarry to stay as a pure mid.

I'd be very surprised to see Howes come in after only one VFL game but sure hopes he does. I'd imagine it would mean Jordon to halfback to replace Hunt, Howes to the wing if he did eventuate.

Jackson needs to cut out the middle man and just request a trade to GWS

I know we don't tag anymore but with Merrett out I'd be sending Harmes straight to Parish

Lack of wrist movement indicated no pen was in his hand during the game

Zach Merrett out for 6-8 weeks
