But we've gone ahead and given guys like Sparrow, Kozy and Rivers more time in the guts and they've comfortably kept JJ out of the side. JJ just doesn't stand out enough unfortunately.

Salo needs more hype, he will compliment our defenders perfectly. I suspect it will take him 2-3 weeks to have him fit and ready for the firsts. He is the perfect person to step into Hibbos role, whose body is not holding up well this year. IMO this is the ideal mix... Petty May McVee/Bowey Rivers Lever Salem This group is a great mix of youth, class and toughness. With Salo adding even more clean ball use to the mix.

May is in bad form!!! Fritsch doesn't pressure!!! Our transition sucks!!! All fugazi, we're closing in on the number 1 rating for both offense and defense. As always, in the FD i trust.

We're managing the minutes of our A grade players to keep them fresh throughout the year

The team needs Petty back but my lord May needs him back the most.

Max and Tim English provide much more than hit outs to advantage. IMO a rucks around the ground work is way more important these days.

Last year, the FD talked a lot about staying hungry and competitive, however, many noticed a drop off in that facet last year. What has helped the team return to their ultra-competitive mentality of 2021?

I love Bernie too but not because he was some uber fair professional sportsman, i loved him because of the dog fight he'd bring to the game each time

Bernie was no saint

For me, i am curious about Deakyn Smith, watching Casey he seems to be progressing well and has been working hard for quite a while. Had some stand out classy moments against Box Hill last week imo.

Champion team > Team of champions System and culture > individual performances

MILKSHAKE WITH A RIPPER

Nice work from Deakyn to set that goal up

His left foot snap is an absolute weapon

Saints at Marvel, easy home win for them IMO Brissy at home, slaughter Swans, probably Doggies Dees Baggers Dons Tiges and, Adelaide for the smokey in a shootout. Game of the round will be this one for sure.

I don't think he is being punished, he is being allowed time to manage a back injury and when he's ready he'll back in the 22. I also agree he is probably our best option when fully fit but we know what it looks like when we have an unfit BB in the forward line, it ain't pretty.

The recruitment team seem to target 1-3 players at each range. If they appear, we will go for several e.g. Jackson + Koz. Or we will target a specific type e.g. bowey, Laurie. Or, if they have found their man, they will be hellbent on getting him e.g. Lever + may. If they deem Reid to be the man, so be it.

IMO Schache has shown a good string of games in the 2s, and has been rewarded. BB and TMAC had stinkers so they stay at Casey. We have enough options to have each tall compete for their spot in the 22.

Grundy has enabled us to unleash Gawn's powerful marking all around the ground, powerful combo

Good to hear Salo's progress

Umpires be damned, we will grind this win out. We look hot and exciting and we will bring it to them in the 4th.
