Roost it far

We’ll still win the flag

I’d say all at the club knew we’d be better with Brown in the side. He was unfit and injured on arrival. It’s taken this long for the coaches and Burgess to get him to a point where he’s ready to help us win a Premiership. He’s not going out unless injured.

As the game draws closer I’ve got a sense we’ll find our mojo, can’t see us losing. 19 points

Dees by 19 points

Out : Sparrow In: Brown (?he provides a target and allows McDonald, Fritsch and the smalls more time and space)

Out: Petty In: Melksham Weideman moves to the backline, our forward line works better without BBB and Weideman.

I’d try Weideman back and drop Petty and bring Melksham in. Make him accountable.

We’re going to have injuries, form slumps, the need to rest players throughout the season. Weideman will get his chance and maybe with the added pressure he’ll become the player we all want to see.

In the current climate of course her appointment will have an element of being “about woman”. Remember woman have been playing second fiddle to a lot of seriously incompetent men for a long long time. She sounds like a good operator and that’s what we need.

Personally I think that’s the best thing about our start to the year. We clean up our skills a bit and we’ll start smashing teams

And now muppets are calling him elite. ? Somewhere in the upper middle range of those two things I think he lies

Out May in Petty

Time to bench this conversation

Viney to Selwood is what I want to see

I’m not sure I can fix the joint

41 points to us

I could table that at the next meeting

If our worst problem remains whether to play Melksham or Sparrow I’m a happy man. I would of given him a week at Casey but I’m a furniture maker not a selector.

Weideman played a chunk of good footy last year despite the obvious difficulties. He’s 6-8 weeks away from finding form after an injury. One bad half is hardly reason to start bagging him out. Chill folks if he and Brown can get up and about we’ll go deep

I thought we had the best VFL forward line in the history of the game

Would you call it a jumper or a bit of fitted plastic?

I’m not playing Melksham till he’s showed something more like his best. He’s got 2 years of poor footy to pay us back for, he can start that journey at Casey

As opposed to Rivers who appears to be a very solid defender for the next 12 years?

Could one of Bowie or Laurie replace Jetta at some stage?

I’m leaving Jetta in, one poor game is hardly a disaster. I’d take him over Lockhart any day. Let’s wait till they’re banging the door down. Hibberd needs some game time as does Melksham. The first change will be getting Brown or Weideman into the team, possibly for the Richmond game if one of them can have 2 good weeks.
