Roost it far

We should have gone hard for Hogan 2 years ago.

Not unless injuries stop happening and Petty and McAdam start playing well. I’m wondering if we’ve totally changed our plan for this year. Scrounge as many wins as possible in the first half, lock down best 23 and come hard in the second half. Fullerton very important to us…..can he actually play?

GWS will belt us. Great mix of ages, strong, determined and hungry. We look old and then too young, unfit and not up to it. The vibe of GWS is awesome

Get JUH 3 things need to happen for us to step up again next season Recruit a ready made forward such as JUH Adams, Windsor, and 1 of AMW and Brown all have to be AFL solid players next season. Adam’s to replace May, Windsor on the wing, Brown on the bench Change the game plan and stop relying on Gawn.

What we really need is Adam’s to make the step to AFL. That’s my wish for this year.

So it sounds like TMac is preparing to cover May in case of injury and no one else is AFL ready. Our stocks past best 23-24 are thin

Let’s see what Hore can do……big big loss, at this rate we’ll be fielding half a VFL side soon enough

Bowey 8-10 weeks is a big loss

Question for track watchers. Is Adam’s a likely prospect?

Nicely put. I wonder if anyone answers for what really is a monumental stuff up. Dare I say it but clubs with a strong culture don’t do this. Just add it to the list of post and pre season howlers.

Because we are just a tad soft, only an inkling but just enough to exploit

Out: Bowie, Spargo, Schache In: Pickett, Woewodin, Fullerton

If BBrown or TMac get a game we’re done

I actually think Max spat the dummy and wanted to ruck alone

In my opinion the club mishandled how they played. They needed 10-12 rounds playing together with Max playing 50 ruck, 20 forward and 30 bench with Grundy playing 50 ruck and 50 bench, with some forward pinch hitting.

Is it revisionism? What was wrong with having Grundy and Gawn play together 18 times a year and into finals. Dominate the centre. We couldn’t make it work yet we play Schache? We weren’t smart enough and we dropped the ball on this one.

Bowey out ?

We’re clearly loading

Is the question why does no one stand up for Gawn? It’s why I hope Fullerton is AFL standard. We need a big body to canon into the opposition’s ruck at every opportunity. Bang, bang, bang. Grundy needed to be hit and hit hard. Schache’s not that guy and needs to stop getting games.

Spargo’s Achilles will trouble him all year

Is Fullerton actually AFL standard? Max desperately needs support. Schache should be put in to exile along with Chandler and Laurie. Losing Bedford over Chandler still hurts.

No the fact they persisted with handballing was.

It’s pretty clear that we’re great at lowering the eyes and finding a target during the preseason. Ramp up the pressure and we simply revert to bombing it. Funnily enough I would have coached them to bomb it forward at all costs last night. The ball was soap and cute handballs weee not the answer. Goodwin out coached again.

Goodwin has no plan B, never has. Apply pressure to our kids and we revert to bombing it long.

Gawn not the best anymore. along with May’s decline we’ll be very lucky to play finals
