Have no worries that he'll re-sign this year like his brother did. He seems well entrenched with the young group we have. His form has dropped off considerably since Lever went down. Just goes to show how important Lever is in terms of leadership and organising our players.

JKH was drafted at pick 40 back 6 years ago. He's 24 years old next season, and in the oldest 1/3 of players on the list now. He's hasn't had an injury since 2016, so has had plenty of time to build his endurance and strength. He's simply not up to it. As a club, these are the types of players we need to move on quicker from the list. They should only be kept for depth if lacking in a specific area. The changes for this week should be: In - Hibberd, Melksham, Kent Out - Hunt, Pedo, Spargo

Hunt had a back injury all pre-season. He's now injured his foot twice this season also. The back injury and pre-season issues have obviously effected his fitness and he's lost confidence in himself as a result. It's a real shame as he was one of our best players in 2017 and looked set to become an All Australian HBF this year. I still have faith he'll come good, but he needs to take time to get his body right and use that pace with full confidence again. Spargo looks cooked. I rate him and think he's a long term player for us, but he looks spent this past few weeks and should probably be out of the team for someone like Kent or Bugg.

I'm not blaming him for our loss. We kicked ourselves out of the game. However, the public have the right view games of football that are officiated impartially and correctly. He needs to go for the good of the game.

Nicholls is deadset useless. I'm 100% serious that action needs to be taken to ensure he stops ruining games of football. If anyone knows how to lodge formal complaints against umpires, let's get the ball rolling. If anyone knows where he lives, PM me.

Out: Pedo (dropped), Spargo (dropped), Hunt (inj) In: Hibberd, Melksham, Kent

He's the worst umpire in my lifetime. He's either a cheat or incompetent. Either way he has to go. Does anyone have the stats for games he's umpired against us? I don't think we've ever had a positive free kick count in a match he's officiated. If anyone knows how to lodge formal complaints against umpires, let's get the ball rolling. If anyone knows where he lives, PM me.

6. Harmes 5. Salem 4. Brayshaw 3. Frost No other votes. Sick of f*cking losing, and the guys above were the only ones who put in today.

I still haven't changed my mind either. Viney is a good footballer, but not a rounded leader. He leads from the front like Jones, but you never see him barking orders and organising players like a Hodge or Selwood or Cotchin does. Neither Viney or Jones should be captain going forward. It should be someone like Lever, TMac or Brayshaw.

Bad kicking is bad football. I'm disgusted at the loss today. The optimists can continue their blind hope. I only deal in facts, and the fact is nothing has changed and the club has been a failure for over half a century. It's getting f*cking tiresome watching the same stupid sh*t being served up year after year. You can say we've improved, but so have all the other clubs around us and we're still battling to even make finals. With the playing list we have, we should be a top 4 certainty. I don't know who's to blame, but someone needs to be accountable for the continuous failure. If anyone knows where umpire Matthew Nicholls lives, please PM me. I've had a gutful of the cheating/incompetent (take your pick) maggot, and I need to carry out justice for the sake of society.

Deadset cheat. He’s either a cheat or unable to do his job. Either way he has to go. How do we lodge formal complaints regarding umpires? If I don’t get a forma method to do it, I’m going to have to go rogue and find where he lives...

Another predictable loss. Nothing has changed. This club will be a failure for eternity it seems.

Tmac needs to find his kicking Bootsonline again. His set shots have been pathetic the past 3-4 weeks now. Missing directly in front from 20-30 meters out is unforgivable.

Not [censored] Nicholls!!

Who are the umpires today??

Cats might pinch this! They have an amazing ability to tear home in the last 10 minutes of games!

He's apparently done his shoulder in the VFL today. I'm assuming he won't go around again next year. Horrible way to end your career being dropped and then getting injured to rub salt into the wound. I'm thankful that Bernie chose to come to us and played some really good footy in the red and blue. He's a likeable bloke and deserves success.

OFFICIAL CHANGES OUT: J. Smith (Inj) IN: Pedersen, Kent, Hunt, Hannan, Weideman All the Ins are on the extended bench along with Vince, JKH and ANB.

It runs simulations and therefore is different every time. I’ve run it a bunch of times and had us finishing anywhere from 2nd through to 10th.

Is this post sarcasm or genuine? Have no sympathy for Stevens or most journalists. The quality of journalism, especially in Australia, is utterly rubbish. The stories and things they post do far more harm than what Gaff did. If Gaff deserves 12 weeks, then Stevens should be behind bars. You get more factual information from anonymous posts on internet forums than what the so called journalists serve up these days. They spread absolute rubbish and are not held to account. Pathetic scum. I'd welcome Gaff to the club with open arms. Hopefully this incident has knocked a few hundred thousand off the contract for us

I'd bring Hunt in for Smith. He was struggling early in the season due to ongoing back issues hindering him throughout preseason. His ankle/foot injury will have given his back time off to recover. If he's injury free and fit now, then he's unquestionably better than 4-5 players in the 22 at the moment, and the most suited replacement for Smith. He could definitely be our x-factor come finals time.

Pissweak effort letting Carlton score a goal

Yep Hawks are home

Thank [censored] Cats didn't win!

Probably not... they got pantsed in the last quarter and were lucky to win!
