Thanks Bob.

Farewell Luke Jackson
TBH I haven't seen much of him and was really asking what those who might have seen more of him think. He was all the rage in his draft year.

Farewell Luke Jackson
Not to do with LJ, but would you look at Brodie Kemp at Blues. 193 cms and not getting a game. Mids too strong and key forwards hot, keeping him out.

He is AFL listed below average, on Intercept Marks and Kicks. He is 24.

Haven't Freo traded this year's first round pick? That deal would be a shocker for us anyway.

Team first - for certain a goal
Then on the other hand how many times have we stuffed up simple passes and fumbled etc? Even the great Tracc fumbled, when alone in the goal square and wasted a Joe the Goose gimme. Is it not possible that on a couple of those Fritta non passes, he just didn’t see/grasp the opportunity. When he didn’t handball to Tracc, he was running into goal and may not have realised that a player was going to run him down, did Tracc yell “you are hot” and also Tracc was standing on the points line facing him. Fritta was in the best position to score until he was grabbed. Maybe he didn’t notice Langdon at right angles and on the other side of the ground to him, as he ran in. The Spargo one on Sunday was the worst. Fritta copped a bake from Spargo and probably others and seemed upset. After that he was looking to pass every time. He has been our best forward for a while and maybe we don’t crucify him, but coach him to be more aware.

It was his left hand, wasn’t it?

Dogs have 2 days more break and we are coming off interstate game again with shorter break. That is the 2nd time in 3 games. Well done AFL.

The No T$ No B$ Thread
Dees were refused a priority pick when we were worse that Roos for several years. Now Blight saying Crows, who have won more games in last few years than the Roos, is saying they should also apply for help. A joke. If Clarkson goes to Roos, you can absolutely guarantee a priority pick.

So if Pies got picks 40 and 50 for Grundy you would say they are bandits? Not sure why you said that, when the pick(s) they might get weren't even suggested.

Farewell Luke Jackson
If Jacko goes, Rendell on SEN suggesting we end up with Grundy and a high pick. Pies to pay say $200K of his $900k for next 5 years. Lobb to Dogs for pick. Freo gives picks to Pies, who save $700k a year, plus probably De Goeys' salary, which they use to chase Giants players. Grundy then does most of ruckwork for us and Max plays more forward, which prolongs his career and gives us another marking target forward. We use the high pick to draft another key forward. We can then rookie another ruck. Maybe we trade Weid to Pies as part of the deal to improve our draft position. Lots of possibilities.

Jordan De Goey
I never said anything about getting De Goey, I was just saying that with their rotten culture they have won 8 in a row and so maybe it's not culture that wins games. You might not give a rats about a team winning 8 in a row, but I bet their supporters do. PS: I am certainly not defending De Goey and I wouldn't want him with us.

So try Tomlinson forward and tell him the role we want him to play. Maybe it is just dragging another key defender away from Brown and Fritta. That could be worth a couple of goals on its own. Maybe if they zone off him, he becomes the free tall to kick it to. He is fit enough to move up the ground and back, like Tom does as as well. Maybe our mids when they look up, will see three talls in different spots they can aim at, instead of the predictable big bomb to BBB with 3 on him.

8 wins in a row. Numerous players seem to want to go there. Obviously culture isn't winning their games, or losing them. PS: I am not saying we don't want our club to have a good culture, obviously we do.

The Run Home
Would be great if we beat Dogs and Freo lose to Tigers, putting us 2 games and % ahead of Dockers. Martin and Lynch out for Tigers just to make that more unlikely.

I think Melksham and Bedford go out and Lever might be a wait and see on his shoulder.
-
CHANGES: Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs
Yes he will and no he didn’t. The 2 dropped handballs and poor kick to Fritta, out of his 4 possies to that point in the 3rd quarter, are the reason he can’t stay in.
-
CHANGES: Rd 19 vs Western Bulldogs
I wonder if sometimes I am watching a different game. I agree Tomlinson was really good today and yet some want him out. Played on a taller opponent in good form and basically dominated him. Aside from one goal set up for him, I thought Melksham was horrible and unfortunately Bedford was unsighted.

There is a bloke missing for us.

Try Toby in the middle, as he hasn’t done a thing and should be fit and fast, if they can give him the ball at stoppage.

Sub is a small when we went small anyway. Weid obviously is not wanted by us.
