6 Gawn 5 Harmes 4 Fritsch 3 Viney 2 Oliver 1 Hibberd

Just can’t see us winning We look absolutely spent Saints up by 50+ on uncontested possessions 42 point win to the Aints coming up

Sitting on the wing, early observations: - Ill-disciplined, given away 50m penalties for certain goals time and time again - Forward line dysfunctional when the ball coming in - Forward line not providing any defensive effort - Midfield too slow in transition - Backline under siege and under sized - Big ground exposes our lack of leg speed

We don’t work nearly hard enough in transition Their speed by foot is going to be a major concern if we don’t lock down defensively

2021, just using our current list, plus gaff? B: Jetta - O Mac - Petty HB: Hunt - Lever - Hibberd ? Gaff - Brayshaw - Salem HF: Petracca - Hogan - Fritsch F: Weideman - T Mac - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Harmes - Spargo - Tyson - ANB Emerg: Stretch - Hannan - Ginger Ninja - Filipovic of course that's completely unlikely given players will inevitably come and go, and form will wax and wane, not to mention debilitating injury etc and who knows how sides will change their structure once the anti-density netball rules come in

I’d like to keep Tyson and get Gaff in, personally I still think Tyson can be vital to our future side make up (Vince, Lewis and Jones could all be gone by the end of 2020, although Jones may play on), and Gaff would be a fantastic addition It just adds more depth to the side 2021 could see, possibly, four of our best 25 currently players gone; those three listed above plus Jetta, who’ll be 31 by the time 2021 rolls around - more if someone like a Hogan declares he wants to go back to WA, or ANB to SA, or even if a Brayshaw gets an offer they can’t refuse at the end of this year - who knows, North may throw their war chest at him now Ideally I’d like to build and grow our side, and the best thing about Gaff joining the side is he costs us nothing other than salary cap space

If we can’t get Gaff, then I completely agree he should be the secondary target

you need to settle, saty i like gaff, personally would definitely have him at the dees

21 disposals (13 kicks, 8 handballs), 8 marks, 4 tackles he won't be dropped

great win casey from what i saw (second half only) ginger ninja and bernie vince looked seriously good at this level, as did tim smith

maggots gonna maggot [vfl edition]

vince is miles too good for this level

She’s not the only, nor even the first, journo who is gunning for Pert at this early stage

True...I always think back to the ‘take 12 months for an acl’ theory

Finally beating Hawks in 90 elimination final Schwarz pirouette and goal v Carlton in 94 Last quarter v Carlton in 00 Lyon and Schwarz out scoring Footscray in 00 McLean against the Saints in 06

I can’t see how Lever will play before probably mid-year next year When he comes back ideally he slips into the J Smith or Petty role

Jetta - O Mac Hunt - J Smith - Petty - Hibberd - Salem With Lewis coming off the bench

i did the ladder predictor thing too - still have us 9th it all comes down to the game vs gw$ for mine and if we're good enough to win that when the pressure is on to do so

this concern is that like so many of our players he has been 'down' in big games

Cripps is having some game, and Treloar looks super sore with a hammy on the bench that may / may not be torn - commentators just guessing

We lost by ten points to a team that most pundits had pegged as a top four, even top two, side on their home deck Yep we struggled to convert opportunities, but at least we created em Ive said all along it’s all coming down to R23 vs GW$ and I see no reason to alter that assessment FWIW, I had us pegged as coming 10-12 at the start of the season...I now think we might finish 9th It'll hurt, but ultimately we don’t look good enough

at the end of the season going into round 23 i see us 2 points ahead of gw$ with the winner to make the 8 i think we'll bottle it and finish 2 points outside the 8

there's no way lewis is being dropped, and i'd doubt vince will either anb completely blanketed motlop out of the game, but didn't make the most of his opportunities up forward, and harmes kept running and kept presenting if we do choose to bring in another tall back, our whole defensive structure is messed with, no matter who rotates out

they play completely different roles, so yr comparing apples with oranges dunn was always a far better player than frost will ever be, and i was very sad to see him traded

weed takes a one-hander and his kicking is sublime - 6 goals now
