58er

Did we have a say in it? I'd say not. If it was the arrogance in this scenario it was our big heads thinking we were playing some lowly teams and coupled with the rain and wind which we couldn't cope with turned out yo be a gigantic disaster.

Well said and spit on besides Tommy leads our forward line.

Opinion not any facts I presume

If you used your point 1858 then May could go all the way to the forward line!!! Please he is our best kicker in and we are not conceding goals by our kick ins so let's have a Plan B but stick to A until we need a variation during the game. Maysie knows what he is doing

What need Dont we want if Cerra was available ? Outside runner I would think! Really he fits like a glove for us and his disposal is good which means he qualifies under the new Melb rule of skill.

Saw Robinson star yesterday and yes he would be a long bow for Bakes to take on. Maybe Angus tags him if he is on the wing but Harmes elsewhere is not bad unless he gets say McCluggage. Other wing could be Salem or Rivers and Lockhart to mind smalls ie Mathieson But structurally Msybe ANB is the best runner and Baker the most deserved I guess if not the most prudent choice.

Not after Friday night Kent especially at centre bounces

Both Maxy and Gus can improve a little but ALSO both are performing at a high standard of team footy and are inspirational the way they both commit for the team.

Lockhart to mind the smalls possibly He was 20 plus disposals and in our best.

Already sold out 2 by 350 quota!!!

Both BAMF and QF are wrong ! Yes 3 headed monster ie Naughton English and Bruce still had reasonable goals out if their total and not one starred due to our pressure and individual brilliance of May Lever and don't forget Petty BUT don't underestimate their potential if more and better ball comes into the forward line. QB You are not including Petty's ability to contribute to our defence. Yes Lever must still go for his intercepts as should May and Petty. Last night Rivers held sway and Hibberd and Salem were serviceable and supportive without starring. Uts a team effort and the Dogs defence was very ordinary when we bought the Heat into the kitchen. Weid and Kossie had almost nights ANB Tmac and Fritta were excellent. On ballers got us 4 goals.So agsin our mix of all things forwards worked hard and well to support the defence and mids.

No no no That's almost robbing 2,Peters to pay ONE Paul. Stop gap ie Baker for Lingers or msybe ANB or bring in Bowey ( very big call) OR in lLockhart for defence and either Rivers or Salem to wing. ( not keen to disturb defence really ) but Lions are quick around the ground so need pace on the wing.

First of all we don't need to invent situations Playing against any team in the AFL is fraught with danger and beating Cwood Suns or Bombers with ALL THE TALLS does not prove that will work against the Tigers or Dogs or Cats on the big stage of Finals in September in wet or dry conditions. I have no doubt that we could win with them all on some occasions but we will be far better balanced with 2 or 3 talls plus Jacko in the forward line. Form is always the best guide and whether it's BBB or Weid or Melky with the figures that Sam got today you can't carry two or three players who fail to contribute to the team. That's not to say Sam was not ok in his role but somewhere he isn't playing a complete game. His clangers in the last quarter following a brilliant third quarter show how flaky he can be. BBB also needs some real form consistently and Jacko could play wing but why upset Angus who is playing his most consistent form team and personal wise. He is now a strength with his defensive role smart intercepting and invaluable support to the half backs and half forwards. Players like Chandler Lockhart Baker and Sparrow all have cases for inclusion in our best team at times given form and injury and probably add far more flexibility than another tall unless that/those talls are in irresistible form and can't be left out. Agree the beauty of Jacko can play medium roles as his versitility and skill but he now enables Max to dominate the forward or back lines as needed. One day Jacko will grab his marks and this more talls won't even be discussion point. Let's hope it happens sooner rather than later. Also leave Tmac as our premium Tall KPF as he brings all other forwards into play and is our most reliable goal kicker in all conditions. Fritsch can be our third or fourth tall with Jacko in the picture also if we go that way. Depending upon circumstances but you have either forgotten Bayley or have a bias against a very highly skilled near A grader who always finds a way to contribute goals and more to the team and us almost impossible to match up for the opposition. No not the wisest move placing all the talls just as it isn't playing all the smalls. if it ain't broken don't try and fix it!

I can't help pinch myself with the results of: Tmac back from dead to best forward in KP and 2018 form agsin Nibbler gotten rid of bad skill errors and is a team player with high degree of intelligence most of the time Back from dead also Charlie super game again even on the backline looked like Caleb Daniel and is becoming consistent Predicted Tmac and Charlie before season so it's a nice surprise fit ANB to be producing on ball as Dr D wanted him.

What I heard on Fox I think but have no other info to go on!

May not be quite as solid on the bigger beasts as Tommo was but has more strings to his bow in skills. Either way a great duo to pick from.

You can't have everyone AF !!!

The 15/11 scoring shots in first half is balanced out with 7/8 after half time. Not really an issue at this stage

Yes we have they were above us when we played them tonight !!!

Yes

Very good DrD but leave Jacko alone he is rucking about 50% and performing and we are getting Gawny both forward and back who influences the game as long as he doesn't drop the marks!

No you are not watching or seeing his team efforts They are in front of you on the screen or at matches Watch him do the 1% ers as well snd support for the backs and forwards.

Limited but important Angus was not limited He had many team acts although only 11 disposals. He is doing a great role for the team and supports the HBacks and H Forwards brilliantly. His disposal was good all night.

Agree Goody has improved along with the team Hats off to him he is having a super season. No question there is a lot more brains in the preparation and in the box now. We look like a really professional serious contender who has a real idea of where we are at. That's in sharp contrast to some journos and experts who are slowly coming around about us.

21 votes all 1 vote except Sparrow and Melksham.!!! Great team effort.
