Bring-Back-Powell

I give us a sniff, but the bye's midfield will trouble us.

If it means we get to keep Frawley, Sylvia and snare Daisy Thomas, where do I sign?

That's a win.

If they want any chance of retaining Sylvia next year, they better not play him at Casey this week.

At all kick ins I'd get Dunn to torp it to the centre. At least we might get a chance of kicking a sausage on the fast break. Our kick ins are too slow and sloppy.

One wonders why they bothered dropping Strauss considering they've brought him back after just 1 week and Freo had a plethora of small blokes kicking loads of goals last week.

5 goals, 13 behinds and 4 out of bounds on the fulls.

I remember that game. He was marking everything, playing as a really good lead up forward. Just don't let him anywhere near the goals.

I expect us to lose this game by only 35 points with 100% effort and application, and Neeld survives Monday's board meeting. Then we come out and lose by 100 points on Queens Birthday, and the vicious cycle continues. As for the Ins - Fitzpatrick and Pederson (and maybe even Rodan) should be rewarded for solid VFL form. Bail must come out. He's been woeful for most of the year, and quite frankly is a very average league footballer. I wonder if Couch would help our midfield later in the year?

20 touches and 2 goals against Freo was a much better output. The classy midfielders of today regualry get 20+ touches and 2 goals a game.

^^^ Paul McNamee eh. I almost forgot about him, we've had so many failed CEO's. Was it him or the Snake Skin Salesman Ray Ellis who tried to make a play for Jonathon Brown?

Would it be legally possible to sack Neeld with little to no pay-out? I doubt the senior coach has reached many if any KPI'S since he commenced his role.

The bye has a better midfield than Melbourne.

Get the calculator out to see if we're still a mathematical chance of finals.

Looks like the career of another top 20 Pick is going down the toilet thanks to the MFC. Can't we just give Strauss some continuity and confidence. The bloke is an elie kick.

As long as they don't do a Rodan and recruit him but not bother playing him.

I can understand why we get sponsors. We've clearly been the most talked about and most over exposed club since early 2012.

Wasn't the free kick count 20-1 at half time last year v west coast?

Geez Freo have some massive outs. Full credit to them for being 5-2-1.

I didn't. To be brutally honest, he's played 2 good games (V GWS and Brisbane) and 5 poor to ordinary games. He's influence has been very minimal as he fades in and out of games pretty badly. Probably averaging about 10 touches a game. A very underwhelming start. Thoughts?

I also thought we should've taken Ball at pick 18.The club had an opportunity to be ruthless (and could afford to with the luxury of 4 top 20 picks) but of course let Collingwood have their man.

That's actually a good use of the sub, in Bail.I'm glad Davey's starting, he needs a full game to get some confidence back.

Just leave Mark. Members aren't going to cop your excuses and defeatism any more. The jobs too big for you.

Bulldogs have been bloody respectable this year compared to the mfc circus

I hope that's the last time we see Spencer.
