Demon Disciple

That is your first mistake.

It's probably got to do with him seemingly being scared by his own shadow.

Maybe a return to the playing field? He could help give McDonald a chop out.

Get Hulett in for Dawes

I wouldn't say hopeless, but he has no hunger in his game. He's just not desperate..........at all. Send him to Casey for the rest of the year, maybe that will light a fire. Forward Line - With the likes of Kennedy, Harmes and Kent all being unbelievably inconsistent, with oceans between their best and worst, Dawes continuing to imitate a witches hat, with no genuine second tall forward, we will continue to struggle. Bring in Hulett, he can't do any worse than Dawes. Give Weideman a look-in towards the end of the year as well. The more talls we give experience to, the quicker our kids will start to back and go long to them. Hit ups to other targets only works, when your smalls are willing to give 4 quarter effort (ours don't). Midfield - We need more smarts in there, and better users. Our preference is to handball, and if we can't, try to create another opportunity to handball. An idea is to maybe kick it long to the forwards (better chance of being one-on-one and it also places more pressure on the defence). Jones whilst gaining 32 disposals went at 47% efficiency, fix it. Back Line - It looks great when we successfully run it out with flair, but christ, our turnovers leave us extremely vulnerable. One player doesn't make a team, but if we could bring in Hibberd, his disposal and toughness would do wonders for our back line. All in all, we still need to find decent back-up for Gawn, another good KPD, a good user out of the back line (we need more than just Salem) and some mids with some brains. KPF's we have. And if Max King finally decides he wants to be an AFL footballer, that would help too.

67 to 34 after half time. Got ahead of ourselves again methinks

Agree, our turnovers crucify us, yet we have not been able to rectify this under this coaching group. It's been 3 years now (well 2.5), yet there's been no improvement.

He is not an AFL-quality player any more.

Kicking to the scoring end in the last, and we only produce 1 goal! Way to motivate Roosy!

A chance to make a statement and win a big game. Down by 9 and with only a quarter to go, we come out and can only manage 2 behinds in 20 minutes of football. FMD

why is it after a long period of no goals, we are always the first to blink?

Big quarter in the context of our season coming up. Little chance to make the 8, but winning this could really give us some momentum for the rest of the year.

Zuckerberg loves him

That hurts

Tough ask with Jacobs on him, but Gawn really needs to stamp his authority on this game.

He needs to do it again and again.

Our leaders really need to stand up Dawes need to just do something, as we are currently p-laying with only 17 on the field with him atm.

Looking more and more like worthy trade bait. Has had a very poor year injuries aside.

thank [censored] for that, need another one to really stifle their run

what is our response? Will we arch our backs or just fold over?

Boy whatever was said at half time by Roos must have really inspired us!

I agree Xarronn. I reckon Goody's influence on this matter would be quite telling. Clearly he's not part of his 2017 plans. Fair enough, though many should be breathing a sigh of relief that they're in Goody's good graces.

If it wasn't for Andrews' and his monumental brain-fade, ALP might have very well been elected last night. I'd love to be a fly on the wall, when Shorten has a word to him!!!

Nothing that i really concern myself with tbh!
