Current form of Weideman at AFL levels suggests that he isn’t up to it, so you give the next bloke in line a go. It’s a COVID impacted season and your old school rules of selection don’t apply. Accept that and move on

Hard to earn a VFL game on form when they aren’t playing at the moment. What I can tell you is that over many seasons at AFL level Ben Brown has proven himself as one of the better forwards in the completion. Meanwhile, the Weid has been average at best.

The bloke was completely lost. I kept looking for him inside 50. He was in no man’s land and barely led out. Always in the wrong spot and when in the right spot, he drops his marks. Add to fact that in other games when he gets shots on goals, he is nothing short of horrible from a set shot. It’s a bust! We went out and chased a KPF, as we knew it was our deficiency. Play the recruit.

Not sold on Petty at all, but doesn’t really appear that we have any other options ... if he was to make way, who could fill his role? Declase or Daw? I can’t think of any others we have on our list...

Clarry spoke about the ‘sprays’ the players gave each other last year in game and noted it was something they had addressed. Petracca is one of the worst offenders. He constantly sprays TMac. He needs to eradicate it

Is Nathan Jones currently available for selection or injured? If Viney were to not be right against the Dons, I reckon we could do worse than give Nathan a shot back in the middle over Sparrow. He might help with contested ball in the guts. Don’t shoot me!

Why Brayshaw?? He has been good most of the season? Whilst he young and developing, Sparrow’s 4 blunders that resulted in Collingwood goals were far worse mistakes than Brayshaws. Has the awareness of a rock atm, Sparrow.

Petracca and Oliver need to be told to take the first option. They are killing me. Always looking to break tackles and step back inside

Lewis just says things to get a headline, as he is trying to make a name for himself. Nothing more, nothing less. I actually hate his media work. Comes across as a smug know it all and actually talks a fair bit of dribble. This is just another example.

What’s wrong with Salem? I know he finished the game on the bench last week. Never heard what the issue was

Emerged as a real contender tonight

Good for Collingwood to win their grand final tonight. They look very pleased with themselves. Can’t wait to belt them next week

If Adelaide had kicked straight they’d be 5 goals up. Two absolute scrubber sides. How did we lose to this mob

As soon as restrictions lift on Thursday, I’ll be heading up the Hume on Friday. Can’t wait to get to the SCG

As much as we all sit here thinking tht having a game in the NT later in the year is a good thing, as we will get money, if we are fighting for a top 4 spot and shortchanging our chances, while getting less exposure to the MCG before finals, I doubt many will be happy. Pert and Co need to be thinking outside the box. There are ways to raise money via social media and other avenues to make up some of this shortfall. It’s time to pivot. Get fans to hashtag Kayo or FoxFooty during the match and see if we can get a donation per hashtag or @. This is literally how influencers make money. Surely we can explore something like this. Maybe we can get our players to run a vaccination advertisement and the Vic Government can pay us..HHaha. I dunno. It’s all gotta be on the table. We can’t just sit and hope we make up the money at season’s end.

Behind a paywall. Is there anything to say how much we might lose and how we might make up the loss??

Nah nothing wrong, just like Case 5 waited about a week with symptoms before getting tested. Makes sense to me..

Alarmist

Additional 6 from overnight that will be in tomorrow’s figures. Expect there to be double digits tomorrow. 6 already and however many test positive today

I imagine we need the cash. Our gate this year has been pathetic. Despite being on top of the ladder, outside the Tigers game, don’t think we have cracked an MCG crowd over 40k. Pretty disappointing given the way the team is playing.

Tony Jones said he received a text message from an angry Neil Mitchell and assured viewers they were going to review the game in full later on and there would be an interview with a Melbourne player. Then, nothing! It’s a disgrace the lack of respect for the team on top of the table. They are still happy to heap praise on the Dogs who “will learn from the loss and be better for it”. Billy keeps reminding everyone that Geelong will be there on Grand Final day, despite them playing the ugliest game in years yesterday. We are getting next to no attention. It doesn’t fit the narrative. We’ve been a media punching bag for years.

There is no way we should agree to play in Queensland at all. not at the GABBA nor Carrara. The Lions can get stuffed. They were so well looked after last year. This is one of the greatest overreactions by the Government. Virtue signalling at its finest as usual. Go play in Sydney or Canberra.

I heard this afternoon that it was going to be open.

Interesting call. I remember Sparrow playing in the preseason game against Footscray and was absolutely cut apart. I realise he has been in form at Casey, but not sure it’ll translate to the big stage.

Gawn had a pretty ordinary night in general. His holding the ball decision on the wing and lack of awareness was another poor moment that stands out. He often forgets that he is big and slow. The couple of dropped marks floating back directly resulted in goals. Arguably he should have punched the ball in both cases. In saying that, he has helped win us games this year, so we cut him some slack. He is out of form though. Hope he puts in a huge one this week. We need him to dominate.
