The exact changes I called for and wanted. This isn’t a time about but about rewarding games through the VFL. If that were the case Baker should have played. Garlett in Darwin with the slippery conditions is the exact addition we need with Spargo alongside. Those of you that can’t see that are blind.

Goodwin must have read demonland and finally came to his senses of playing Garlett and Spargo in the same team with our inside 50s.

They've got a tough run home. Still are yet to beat anyone credible. With Treloar and now Dunn out I'm expecting their world to come crashing down.

Thanks for the insight Die Hard Demon. I've unfortunately heard the same things and has created a huge sense of tension and uneasiness internally. I don't care what anyone says, but the fish rots from the head. This has caused an indirect impact on the playing group whether we like it or not. Standby for further news about this which will come out in the media sooner or later.

Make a statement. Inject some run and carry and mosquito fleet to mop up our horrible inside 50 deliveries. We play our best footy when we’re predictable, not always bombing it to McDonald and our goal kickers are spread amongst the team. I don’t give two [censored] if players haven’t earn a spot for a recall, right now we need to pick our best 22 based on what will win us games. We have zero speed and zero spread. Some people on here have absolutely no clue that teams are catching on what we are doing, play an extra back and spread run and carry. We can’t keep up and teams are playing transition footy way too easily. We have been one of the easiest clubs to score against. Wake up!!! Last week I was calling for Garlett and Spargo to play together as we had no small forwards, ahead of Hannan and I got called out for it. Now this week everyone is on the same page. Funny that. Out: Petty, Tyson, Hannan, Weideman, Smith, In: Frost, Garlett, Spargo, Vince, Kent

Harsh on the bloke, considering he didn’t even play.

Honestly, not playing Vince, Frost, Garlett and or Spargo is due to Goodwins cockiness thinking that we’re a club that can win games without our best 22 on the park and gift games to players who try hard instead of talent. I don’t give a [censored] if Garlett isnt doing well in the VFL. Hannan had 4 disposals and zero marks. Out: Petty, Tyson, Hannan, Weideman In: Frost, Stretch, Garlett, Vince

Lmao.. Plays absolutely nothing like Cameron Ling. If he didn’t have red hair you would have never made that comparison.

I'm nicknaming him Happy. I don't care what you all think.

Too old? Too Injury prone? Hmm.. You better hope you're right, because HERE THEY COME

Can we operate with both Spargo and Garlett in the forward line? Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of a mosquito fleet and giving Weideman / Hogan license to crash and bring the ball to ground as much as possible.

I lost it when they called that Melksham free a block.. in a one on one marking contest and he had his eyes on the ball.. My god.

Is this game make or break for us? I just have a feeling we lose, it makes top 8 chances a lot harder. Looking at the run home for clubs like Hawthorn and Collingwood they can easily jump and push us out. So nervous about Friday night.

My mail is that we are looking heavily into out of favour Mitch Wallis as a free agent at seasons end.

I agree. However, we can't just put all our eggs in one basket. Every team should have depth and backup options. If Gawn goes down, we're pretty much screwed. Trading in someone like Wright, who wouldn't cost the world would give us some breathing space of having him as a second ruck option. Additionally, a two prong ruck attack and Gawn / Wright resting forward would allow Hogan to play more up the ground and give defenders another big target to worry about defending, giving Tmac the best opportunity he can. It's another strategy that Goodwin could utilise and have up his sleeve. Otherwise, relying on players like Weideman, Smith and Pedo to be that back up ruck and rest forward isn't really helping our case I feel.

We need to start looking at another ruck option to play in tandem with Gawn. This will allow both Rucks to have spells on the bench and resting forward, and also help Gawn and his longevity in the game. We can't keep hedging our bets, and putting all our eggs in one basket by relying on Gawn week in and week out. Look at the way Collingwood tore us up with Cox and Grundy. Thoughts on targeting someone like Two Metre Peter? Is a decent tap ruckman, and can kick them dead straight from 60m out with ease. Another hole that we have in key marking forwards are confident in slotting them from outside 50. Wouldn't come overly expensive either I would have thought. Cheers.

We seriously lack outside class and awareness. We have a plethora of inside mids that all butt heads and fight for the same ball, that we have no outside mids waiting for them to extract it. It’s like all our hard bulls in Brayshaw, Oliver, Jones, Viney, Harmes are all just sticking their head down trying to fight for the same ball, when the opposition just set up on the outside, waiting for that pinball extraction and then run away with it..

From that Twitter post, it looks as if Lever isn't on AFL360 'Lewis on Lever'. However your thread title suggests otherwise: Lewis & Lever on AFL360 Tonight (5/6)

Wines would be huge. Jones won't be around forever, and we don't know how susceptible to injuries Viney is. Outside mids are a dime a dozen, and it seems we have the players to accomodate for this (Fritsch, ANB, harmes etc) obviously not as good as Gaff but if you have that dominant inside midfield, your outside mids instantly become better players. Which is why I'd rather Wines over Gaff any day. Wines, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney, Petracca. Imagine those players choosing from and rotating the likes of Tracc and Oliver up forward to keep the opposition guessing.

As Roos said on SEN, it's not going to happen that we are going to create two problems with one by moving players around to fill the hole left by Lever. Coming up with ideas such as Smith to go down back, Tmac to potentially cover back, Harmes, Fritsch etc is just robbing Peter to pay Paul. One of Pederson, Frost, Smith or Wagner will come in.

[censored] me to tears how clubs like Richmond can go a whole season like last year unscathed. The only injury they had was when Rewioldt poked himself in the eye. This year looks no different for them.

It must have been the decision to want to slow the game down and play a more boring brand of footy. Max Gawn touched on it in an interview as well, he said for a while we were playing boring footy and not taking the game on and playing on as much as they'd like. I'm only speculating here, but maybe McCartney was trying to foster more of a defensive mindset and Goodwin was having none if it?

These are the type of games we have dropped in the past. 250 games for a club champion, 5 wins on the trot and up against a team that's shockingly out of form. Need to do this for Chunk. Need to take another team to the slaughter. Need to keep boosting that %. TAKE NO PRISONERS DEMONS!

Everyone called me crazy that Oliver will be a better player than Petracca when we drafted him.. Everyone called me nuts for saying he will be a Brownlow medallist before he even played a game... Everyone told me to seek help for the abundance of love and man crush I had on him when I saw him out on the training track for the very first time... We're all now having the last laugh.

I was getting anxious because I wanted another 100 point win. Oh how selfish we’ve become ?
