If it's a choice between Hannan and Fritsch, it's gotta be Fritsch, whilst Hannan does amazing things he goes AWOL far too much and for long stretches of time.

56 wasted years and counting

What happens to stand alone clubs like Port Melbourne - maybe we could part align with thwm too and have Casey/Port grounds to develop

I wish they'd try Salem in the forward half. He is a good kick and that is what we lack there. Goodwin needs to stop playing him in the backline, we need more physical players there, until we do Salem is wasted and to a large degree ineffectual.

Jones has lost whatever pace he had and is injured, I'd rather they try Jordon.

Sorry credits in the bank is what kills us, a player is only as good as his last game, his last 2 games if you are unsure. Hibbo was crap 2day and I would still drop him, because last week he was average. You need to judge his mistakes in the context of the game eg a 15m kick to their player in space at CHF, going across ground instead of looking for someone forward of the ball. He's still making and repeating these errors in the tail end of his career. Time for fresh blood.

Love Melks for his kicking, but he is costing us goals each week through lack of concentration, effort and attitude. He needs to be dropped otherwise he'll keep doing what he's doing and getting away with it because he's mates with the coach. For example he missed a 20m kick for goal by kicking into the man on the mark - very costly at that point in the game and then giving away 50m penalties - not good enough from a very experienced player. Same goes for Hibberb kicking 15m across HFF to the opposition and costing us a goal. We need to bring in players like Rivers and Bennell for these 2. Obviously Preuss goes out for Max. Then perhaps Jordon for Sparrow injury etc..... I'd even bring in O. Mac for Tommy and play him at CHF. We need to be creative like Beveridge - Goodwin is too conservative - I'm sick of Salem playing HBF where he kicks dinky kicks - play him wing/HFF or on the ball. For that matter I'd rest VDB who apart from the odd bone crunching tackle doesn't do enough.

So easy for them to defend

There's the goal that Melksham owed us.

VDB has done nothing

McDonald should've held that

Melksham owes us a gaol.

Waste

Pruess straight down a dog's throat for a goal.

Beautiful pickup by Hannan and great goal Weed

Liam Jurrah would've kicked it.

We need more composure.

Harmes outmarked costs us a goal. He's not a defender.

Hibberb mistake costs us a goal.

We can't afford to give away 50m penalties.

could've kicked it off the ground

4-6 weeks you'd think

Naaaa I reckon Jacko might still grow a centimetre or 2.

Would've liked to see Hannan, Rivers & Smith in and rest Jones, VDB & either Harmes/Sparrow.

I really want Smith in as a forward
