Roost it far

Had to make body contact, absolutely had to. A free to Docherty wouldn't of mattered.

Key needs May replacement, this is an absolute key. I'm worried about losing Tomlinson. Brayshaw replacement if it's a second rounder. Outside/Inside class in the vein of Horne-Francis x 2. New winger/s (maybe Howes and/or Woewodin) I'd be transitioning our game away from relying on a dominant ruckman. We just need a beast who competes and can take the odd mark. Funnily enough I think a forward half of Petty, JVR, Fritsch, McAdam, Pickett and Petracca is fantastic. I really hope we're training this all preseason.

Out of interest what's the long answer?

We need the young one

Missed again

Keep swinging champ, you might land one eventually

It’s insurance, ideally you never use it but you pay it every year.

it’s not the coach

I’be been thinking who we can shop around for draft picks and pkayers The list in my mind is Salem, Langdon, Grundy and Sparrow. I love Tom but if we could get a really clean user for him, with some outside pace I’d be interested.

Because we have forwards with little or no forward craft, mids who can’t kick and a use a plan to suit/minimise those weaknesses

I’d be stoked if the club had the chutzpah to trade out Salem and Langdon, just can’t see it.

I just watched players torch each other, give away undisciplined 50’s, slip over and miss goals I’d kick, hell, our skipper gets blamed for touching a goal line kick from Oliver while Smith and Fritsch gaze at their opponents competing. If that’s the best they’ve got then my question has been answered. These losses are squarely on the players.

Last night felt inevitable, I’ve never seen us be so undisciplined, make so many crazy errors, ignore team mates in better positions and generally gift a lesser team a ridiculous win. I really hope Carlton win or go close against Brisbane as maybe that might rub in what we just blew. We need some fresh eyes in the coaching box…I’d be offering Justin Leppitsch whatever it takes to come on board. We need a replacement brewing for May, another forward and some elite ball users. I really hope Woewodin and Howe can replace one or both of our wingers. Langdon has fallen off a cliff and Hunter, while serviceable needs upgrading. If TMac and Brown remain on the list I’ll cry and we need to find Max some help. I still think we have an excellent list and I’m bullish for the next few years but jeez the last 2 weeks hurt. Onwards and upwards. Go Dee’s…..and remember gifting finals to your enemies is supposed to hurt. I guess my one worry in this homogeneous world where everything is seen as a transaction is do the players really really really want it. Would they walk over coals for each other and success. Or is making pasta on your socials and shaving your balls enough. That’s the question that concerns me with this team.

Does Koz get suspended???

You’ve taken that out of context to prove your point. Good for you.

This conversation has zero to do with the Brayshaw incident

Which freeway?

Sorting my timber stack, very similar to moving deck chairs on the titanic. Put timber there……back to here next month…….and so it goes. We shouldn’t have had to play tonight.

Where can I listen?

Very clever Sue! Whilst the risk of concussion from a high mark is lower than the other risks the risk is still there. Are we happy with that risk and the injuries that could result from it?

Me

Who replaces him?

I’m not feeling it today, the Blues have that intangible quality atm that drives teams to win. Funnily enough I think we’d go much better against the Bears than they would. This is a game we really wanted no part of.

We’re hardly on the decline, we’ve got a great list with plenty of youngsters, amazing draft picks and Shane McAdam in the way. Plenty to be excited about.

Can we not turn this into another Maynard discussion. One of the reasons I posted it was to get away from Maynard.
