GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs GWS
It’d be good if our midfield could get a touch or lay a tackle. Absolutely pathetic effort so far. If you don’t have the ball, then tackle. Losing both counts is unacceptable and comes down purely to work rate and effort.

GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs GWS
Weakest crowd I can remember since the Neeld days. Great day for footy. Where is everyone?

GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs GWS
Spargo in is mind boggling. His form at afl level this year has been horrible, and his form in the vfl hasn’t been worthy of promotion. Really shows the coaches and selection committee playing favorites to pick someone in such poor form. Either that or we’ve got more injuries than I realized and the fit options are down to Spargo and Preuss?

Frost v Hore
We could actually keep both. One would start on the bench and come on for backline rotations. Oscar likely forced out by May and Lever. Both Wagners out. Petty may force Frost out longer term, but Frost is better in the immediate future. Below is how I'd picture the backline and bench looking in an ideal injury and form situation. FB: Jetta May Hore HB: Hibberd Lever Salem Bench: Back (Frost) Mid Mid Fwd

Round 10 Non MFC Games
All the lower placed teams. That keeps us within touch of the 8 if we can perform, or hands us a higher draft pick if we can’t.

Brad Scott sacked
Would gladly take him in a supportive role. He’s a decent coach who go the best out of a bog ordinary list of players. Seems like a decent motivator or players, so something that would play to that strength. Roos are in real trouble now!

Is this 1987 all over again?
I did the ladder predictor and had us finishing 10th at the end of the season. In my generous predictions we finished 12 wins -10 losses. 12-10 could get let you finish 7th or 8th... if your percentage is worthy. Our percentage is horrible and will prevent us playing finals even if we string wins together. We’d have to roll teams like Pies and Eagles on top of winning all the other “easier” matches. It’s not our year unfortunately.

Jayden Hunt
He’s one of the most dangerous players on our list and is one of the few that has the key attribute we lack - pace! It’s great he’s past his back injuries that ruined his season last year. Now he’s fit, I’d play him every week. He’s proven capable forward and back, and could be good wingmen also IMO

The 2019 Mid Season Draft
Sounds potentially like a Jaiden Stephenson type? I’m all for taking him if so!

Not sticking up for Max
Viney of 2015-2017 would’ve. 2019 Viney is a shadow of his former self. Nice to see Simpson take a public stance that Varsys behavior was rubbish.

Not sticking up for Max
The mark was taken in the goal square so he’s going to kick it regardless. This is the time to a stand and give away a 50, as the 50 makes no difference. If only Lewis was there to belt someone. The players response was weak and disappointing. Felt so sorry for Max who’d copped a boot in the face and then abused. What are his mates doing?! Fritsch should be dropped for his pathetic game last night. His work rate and turn overs are momentum killing. That mark and goal is on him. His kicking was beautiful last year. This year it’s been amongst the worst in the league. Massive drop off in form from someone I was hoping would be a real weapon for us this year and beyond.

Making the finals
Our percentage being horrible will prevent us making finals even if we win enough. I’m expecting us to win a few, like GWS match next week, but finals is off the cards at this point.

GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs West Coast
Every laying into Garlett - he’s kicked three goals and setup another. He’s never perfect and misses some opportunities, but he’s one of the most efficient and productive forwards going around. He’s always creating opportunities and hitting the scoreboard. He’s the most proven goal kicker we’ve had in a decade. Just enjoy him!
