In comes BBB to halt Jeffersons development, can't have 3 big boppers in the 50

I'd like to see Jefferson and Fullarton get a go this week, travel with the boys get serious and try and hold their positions when Roo and Turner are fit again.

Mid season draft Roy George! haha

Question is about his foot really doesn't seem to be moving like he was against the roos in 23. Is he 100% healthy? Is he playing still sore? Will it do more damage? Otherwise play him, we have a lot of options specially with a sub.

You'd think with Ben Brown out of the AFL you'd give him a proper rest and let Jefferson try and own the forward 50, instead its the land of the lanky talls with Schache, Brown and Jefferson all running to the same spot.

From what I can see yesterday, the message to the team is often kept simple, Goodwin would say "its hot and sweaty boys so get it in long and deep." The boys come out, we're a good team a well drilled team and win the middle contest get distance to the opponent and remember the message "get it long and deep!" The problem being that the get it long and deep is only when the play is tight and the pressure is on, when you get space you have to be clean no matter the weather. So we dominate the contest early but flub it because we bomb. I bet the message at half time was, "alright boys we've smashed em at the contest, now just use it a bit better get it to someone who can kick and hit up someone" 2nd half of the game we started loosing the contest and sydney ramp the pressure and but we are a well drilled team so we follow the message "use it better, hit someone up" so as it gets more soapy, wet and under the higher pressure we fiddle and fumble in the contest and try and hit up targets like Spargo against taller defenders. I think Goodwin does react to things that happen on gameday for sure, but I think its the timing and a general reactivity instead of a proactive message thats the problem.

Sue the AFL, The lack of action on the Maynard incident is messed up.

High Second Rounder and I take it. Woey Jr. looks the goods, Brown Jr supposedly good, I don't mind 23 but is the kind of player I can stomach letting go.

No but he tells them where to run and where to position and teams run through us like a hot knife through butter.

Anyone who thinks this is a player problem is beyond me, the way we play is dictated by the coach.

Gotta take the wins folks, look at the Pies they are pumped after coming from behind. Our boys were in front all night and held on getting us the win! Absolutely room for improvement but I thought when we were on top we looked a class above. JVR's kicking action is hurting his knee in my opinion, looks tender putting weight on it. May dominated King for the first half so much so they gave him another job on Casboult, did alright I reckon. Fristch won't stay down for long, obviously Lemons? is a good matchup on him. Dumb move locking Kozzie in the front half all game, looked strong in the first.

Thought Dunstan deserves a go espcially if Sparrow is underperforming. Brown and McDonald looked average, is a problem we need to get sorted going forward as both look a bit old. Tomlinson needs to see a psychologist, he is shocking out there at the moment.

I'm somewhat ok with this news? At least they are holding out for a good option, we've heard so many ideas over the years and I want something actually kickass. I liked the Jolimont Station idea but that seems to have been scratched. Wouldn't mind kicking Collingwood back to Victoria Park.

Jack Watts x Lucas Cook x Sam Weideman I'll pass thanks
