Roost it far

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

We stay fourth and win next week

Calf I believe

What makes you say that?

Bowey is injured, we need a third marking tall in defence. He was really good today at Casey. I just think the 3 talks in defence served us well

I’d play Turner for the next 4 weeks and let him show us if he’s good enough.

I put my rose coloured glasses back on and realised we only lost by 4 points to an inform PA side on their home deck with the umpires on their side and we only really played well for one quarter. Premiership anyone? That’s just so much better.

Out: Hunter, Bowey(inj) In: Sparrow, Turner

And it’s a much better place to visit than Geelong which remains a [censored]. Good food and bars

If the players are as annoyed about last night as I am we should win the next 6. Interesting few months ahead.

Where’s Hawkins?

Games not over yet. If Freo beat us I’m closing down for the year

He’s had enough chances, there’s no longer any point playing him, it’s over.

I will add that of all the players it was Tomlinson who really stood out. We just already know that he’s not very good. Which did leave me wondering if we actually have any depth that is AFL ready. I need to find my rose coloured glasses as it’s all going to sht without them.

If you say it twice really fast it foes

May - another solid game Rivers - Getting very good Turner - must come in

He absolutely could and he reads the play really well and marks everything in site

We do not want an interstate final
