Roost it far

Well it’s their only hope now.

Rubbish, if the Pies lose DeGoey or Daicos or Moore they have issues just like every other team

I forgot Hunter, maybe Smith comes in as well.

You put Max and Trac in there for increased minutes. You add Viney and Sparrow and rotate Brayshaw, Rivers, Pickett, Chandler and whoever else is up to it through the middle. You double down on contest and you harass the opposition like your life depends on it. Then you run to the next contest and do it all over again. We can do this. Oliver is our Dangerfield and this next month might force the coaches to think a little differently.

Exactly. We will need Max and Trac to step up and lead this group to some gutsy John Northeyesque wins

You’re a little dramatic

I’m actually ok with this. I hated Friday night but this group needs to HTFU and grind out some wins. They’ve got it in them and I’ll remain a believer until I’m not. Go Dees. Port just rolled us with 5 of their 22 out

I can’t see them dropping Chandler. Bowey and Oliver out injured. I’d bring in Turner and Sparrow.

Better now than in 10 weeks. All clubs cop injuries, were no different.

When do we ever make 4 changes?

That’s ok, we’ll win 2 of those, have the bye and he’ll give his body a rest. Cherry ripe come September. Everything on track . “I’ve got my rose coloured glasses on and it’s all ok 🎼”

It doesn’t normally bother me but watching that with a Max getting belted leaves me sour

774…..one of the reporters, not sure who. He’s had a scan and he’s unlikely to play this week but it’s possible

They won’t play Schache, he just doesn’t have it. I liked the idea but after watching Casey I’m far from convinced. I actually do t think we have an obvious answer. I’d probably play Smith because at least he can run and chase

There’s no chance I’m going

The world’s going to sht in a hand basket. We are surrounded by violence yet we expect this not to happen. There’s a fair chunk of football followers who are total lowlife scumbags. I’m an MCC member but far from a toff. The game against Collingwood last year my family and friends were verbally abused for the entire second half. I used to love the light hearted banter between opposition supporters but lately that’s just been replaced with incoherent abusive ramblings. No fun or joy in that. It’s a game FFS, we’re supposed to be able to enjoy it. Now we rely on underpaid, poorly trained, largely immigrant security forces to maintain civility.

Fremantle is a must win. One week at a time. Breathe

With Oliver likely out with a hamstring Sparrow will need to play his role and Trac will need to spend more time in the middle. I really hope his foot/ankle is fully healed as he's in for a big few weeks. It actually might make us a little unpredictable with Oliver out. If Max, Trac, Viney and Sparrow can get the job done next week I'll be happy. It's still the forward half that worries me.

When was he last out of the side?

On the radio just now it appears unlikely Oliver will be available next week

If we win all 3 I'll run naked around my house. (Best not take that to the public)

Both Viney and Harmes are excellent shut down players. We're coached like we're the best. That's no longer true. We need to negate the best (Anderson, Butters, Cripps, Daicos....) Just get them shutdown and work around that. It doesn't make sense allowing the opposition a soft outlet around the ball. It staggers me Goodwin and co still act like it's the back end of 21.

What I hated the most as I sat screaming at the TV for the clear around the neck the commentators are lauding the tackle, even on replay? Mind boggling how these clowns get a gig.

Has it been confirmed that Bowey won't play?

He played the last quarter, it’s a precautionary scan, Relax FFS
