We will win between 6-8 games, showing clear signs of improvement and that, along with a big contract, may do it.

I don't think Jack lacks effort. It's physicality he lacks and in the modern game, if you can't tackle, you're shown up severely.

Howe actually annoys me more than Watts. I'm beginning to think both of them need to be traded though.

Agree with everything except Tommy Mac. Thought he had an absolute shocker. I can't remember him winning a one-on-one either, which has been just so rare. Watts, unfortunately.

Boak killed us again. Yep. Trade him, please. I think it's best for both parties too. I still can't believe the rest of the comp haven't woken up to how one dimensional he is as a player. People are frustrated with them as players, not as people. Very different. To be frank, our supporter base deserves more. For absolutely no reason. And he kicked it to Bail. WTF. We haven't got a true A grader yet. That's the problem. Port have Boak and you could argue Gray. Ebert wouldn't be far off either. Jones is B grade, Vince is B grade and the other blokes are too young.

Agree with the Clark one, but the 'he was booed on the field because of his dirty acts' is a [censored] argument.

Port look like a totally different side now. Run ons are an amazing thing in footy. Their confidence was shot. Dunn kicks the ball down the middle to Bail when he didn't need to and Port get a goal from it and their confidence rose from there. Our midfield is clearly still C grade. Jones is a solid B grader (love him, love his effort), but when the momentum swings against us, he doesn't have that star quality to swing a game. Brayshaw just might, in time.

That momentum shifted drastically when Dunn inexplicably torped it down the middle. No need to do it. He's played one good season in his career. That's all I'll say. McDonald, Garland and Fitzy have all had shockers so far. Brayshaw outstanding and Vanders once again good.

I don't think they should risk him. Just give him a week off, please.

Very worried about this one. Boak is going to rip us a new one. Have to shut him down.

Does Jordan Lewis get booed? Does Luke Hodge get booed? No, Hodge is 'a leader of men'. This really is a [censored] argument and the racists (as Martin Flanagan pointed out on AFL 360) try to use any cover they can to continue operating as racists.Yes, Adam Goodes has been a sniper on the field, but so have many others who do not get booed anymore. Goodes stood up to an ignorant child (which he should have) and now he's receiving boos. It's a part of that follower culture, where someone next to you boos, so you think you'd better join in and this has a ripple effect. The booers are made up of two groups - the majority: flogs - and the minority: racists. It's a pathetic effort to be in either camp.

I love Jack Viney, but I want to see his disposal start to improve and that's from tomorrow.

They may just keep him in and play him forward to exploit Port for height up.

No way Garland's going anywhere. Bookmark it.

Fair enough. And it'll be Jones' last deal, otherwise we're in a world of pain.

Didn't Terlich get a two year deal at the end of last year? Inexplicably...

No, it wasn't. There was one kick that just flopped off the boot at half back, under absolutely no pressure. It dribbled over the line in front of a waiting MFC player.

I think they are both contracted. I'd pay them out if we think we can replace them with better players. I reckon we might be able to. Particularly, Terlich.

Fair enough.

I'd still be delisting Terlich, Matt Jones and Rohan Bail. But the latter two might be given a pass of there isn't a better alternative. At least, they're both prepared to run and harass opponents. Bail doesn't get enough of it for mine.

Could we play Pedo, Jesse and Dawes in the one forwardline?

So I watched the replay for a second time last night and I owe Jack Grimes an apology. He made one or two errors, but he played a very solid game. Well done, Jack.

To be fair to the CFC board (as much as it pains me to say), I doubt this was the vision Malthouse sold them on. I'd say he said the list was in better shape than in actuality. Now the board seems to want to cut their losses and get in someone that will be there for the long haul. I can see the value in that, but I can also see the value in having Mick do a Roosy. Rebuld the list and then leave it for someone else to run with. Not sure how his ego would handle that though. And it doesn't particularly matter, but for me, Malthouse was finished in his last season at Collingwood.

Toumpas certainly uses the ball better. Not sure if that's what this thread is about though.

Okay, so we've won 3 games, but there was a bit of swagger in regards to the way we went about things against the Dogs. Namely from J Hogan, but a few others were strutting around by the end of it. As long as their heads remain fastened, I like a bit of arrogance. The big clubs have arrogance. Would love to have some of that back.
