Tom green is a beast Come on orange team

The next Charlie curnow fills a bigger need

Another rubbish advantage call. Why the f give advantage when Toby was tight on the boundary. Bulltish

Rubbish call from the ump. Play advantage for Christ sake

GWS just need to weather the early storm. Need a settler

Greene v Maynard will be interesting. Hoping Toby gives him a bath

Hanks is a level above. So clean. She got caught htb once this evening but other than that another faultless performance. Best player in the league without a doubt

Impressive performance overall and always great to beat the hawks. looks like the other mackin is as good as her sister. Very positive debut. go dees

I50 delivery has been good. Nice to see a dees team showing some forward connection

Lauren Pearce having another good game. She’s had a very good start to the season

Aimee Mackin doing well. Looks like we’ve found another gem.

I know she’s one of your favourite players but I have to agree. She’s been poor

Peter wright

Scrappy quarter. No fluency at all.

Deebo having a great game. very powerful unit

Keep posting mate. without rumours there's no thread so not sure why some people are getting their knickers in a twist

no longer in the frame for pick 4. Why not?

I'll be cheering on the boys in orange with great gusto tonight. We're terribly disappointed after our [censored] the bed performances but if there's one thing that can cheer us up its the sight of the orange boys silencing the MCG. Blues fans have very low expectations so won't be as much enjoyment if they lose. A 100+ point shellacking might sour the euphoria they've been feeling though.

A big part of our '21 flag. not sure we win it without him in the ranks. he has done time. involved with 2 flag winning clubs as assistant coach so more than worthy of this opportunity. good chance for us to refresh our ranks and go again. i'm not convinced we need an ex senior coach. Hopefully Pert throws the net wide and tries to find a hungry up and comer to fill the role.

I'm delighted to see that Bannan's injury is not too serious. It looked nasty when it happened. Perhaps Aimee will replace her if she isn't fit in time for this game.

Looking forward to seeing Aimee make her debut and the team continue their outstanding form. hawks are triers and will crack in but lack class. Can’t see them troubling us too much dees by 30+ points

Any chance we could prise 2 meter Peter from the bombers?

bills, cowboys eagles

I can't decide whether we're very close or as far away as ever. keep changing my mind. We've got a very good list and with some luck on the injury front no reason to think we can't challenge again. On the other hand, the other finals teams are playing a more corridor-based game. The game has moved on so we need to catch-up. Time will tell if we will. One thing i am sure of. We need to freshen up the assistant coaching ranks. We've gone stale and predictable.

@Wells 11 provided arguments for and against so balanced imo and not all doom and gloom. read the post not just the thread title.
