Why do we need to change our team? It is fine as it is. Dropping Robbo, McLean, Jamar and Bruce is dropping good players who deserve to play, especially Jamar. I wouldn't give Spencer the ruck load if we wanted to win or lose.

He's played 10 seasons of decent games. Why delist a player, who's a veteran of the club, trys their heart out every week, and is still picking up 30+ possessions every week?

I hope we finish 10-12.

Great mark Hughesy. This kid needs a game sooner than later. I think he'll add a new dimension to our forward line.

School on a sunday? My predicted interchange: Moloney, Martin, Bennell, Miller. Miller will get picked I think for another try.

Port Adelaide, Geelong, Sydney, Richmond, North Melbourne, Fremantle, Carlton and St.Kilda. If we could.

Either 2 or 3. Dont like 1 because of the pattern, 2 is good cos it's simple and 3 is good cos there's a demon on it. Not a huge deal though.

Well done Jack, you really deserved the nomination with consistent form.

Looks like a future half forward- looks far the most comfortable there. He is a great lead up player- and kicks well, and tough enough to play in a key position.

Darren Glass should have gotten about eight weeks for striking Petterd. Umpire 15 is the Simon Overland look alike.

Same. I want another win this week, and hopefully the same team is out on the field. Worry about draft picks when we are on 4 wins, or at the end of the year.

I think Petterd is more suited in a forward role, and Bate looked very fumbly throughout the game yesterday, although when he marks it he usually kicks it well. Speaking of Petterd, does anyone know why he got reported? All I saw was Darren Glass shirt fronting him into the ground agressively a few times in a row, Barry Hall style.

The sound was very low. It was allright at the end but I especially noticed it when they were running out, I could barely hear it then. I think it is all widely disputed throughout the ground, I don't think it's heard more in different sections.

Grimes should definitley win the rising star nomination this week. 29 possessions and 16 marks is hard to see past. The only other big contender was Dayne Beams for Collingwood this week.

19,407- A bit more than the equivalent game last year. Weather doesn't look too good either.

That's terrible news, I didn't see it on the news but I hope he gets better soon.

great effort, 31,508 Aim for 35,000 next year! I know it's a big ask

You'd have to be stupid to want to lose a game of footy. I think we have to win this game or Dean Bailey could be under some scrutiny. Losing to West Coast at the G is pretty inexusable

I think our forward line is worse than our midfield. When Matthew Bate is our leading goal kicker that is a good way to measure how good our forward line is.

Put Anthony Ingerson or Alastair Nicholson at full back.
