This is the heart of our problem. Compare it to their midfielders. If our decision making clicks I think we'll improve out of sight. But if we keep handballing backwards, to blokes facing the other direction, blokes in worse positions etc. we will invite every team we play to stay in the game.

His decision making is hurting is. Why doesn't he attack? I don't have an issue with his pace but when you couple it with slow incorrect decisions you look very ordinary.

He's clearly injured. However his decision making on whether to handball or kick has been poor. If that is due to his injury then he probably shouldn't be playing.

Surprised people are giving Hibberd another week. From what I saw of the game today his kicking off half back was great. Unless we'd like to handball in circles inviting the opposition to take it off us and kick goals for another week, he comes in.

Thought Hannan was ok. Assume you'll be retracting the above?

No tyson?

I listen to it and also don't understand what people are so upset about. Some people are obviously programmed to hate media/commentators but I have never understood why they let it affect them so much. Both Jordan Lewis and Tom McDonald have been on the past 2 days and both interviews and been interesting, especially Lewis'. People who go to a forum to specifically talk footy hate a radio show which essentially specifically talks footy.

Lucky it will still be positive on Demonland. I think the media need to take a lesson from the calm, level headed approach from the posters on here.

All 3 of their first half goals started with us having possession in their 50. Skill error/wrong decision led to us giving them the ball and kicking a goal. They did not score 1 single goal from an attacking chain for the entire half whereas the majority of ours were just that. Tidy that up and were in for some good times.

So many positives from yesterday. We have reliable and X factor players on every line now. Spencer has provided the biggest question so far. He brings so many advantages if he's in the side with Max. If we can find a way to not make him a liability when not rucking, we're on a winner.

Only Demonland can link an updated sporting app to us being wiped out by Nazi Germany.

Pleased to hear that Pencil seems to be improving. Definitely believe it's worth giving him a run with Max. He's solid in the ruck and can absorb some of the punishment that Max would otherwise get. Max in turn will cause some headaches while he's resting down forward.

This is the perfect summation of Trengove and his situation. Brock McLean is a great example as well. Hopefully the reports that he's getting his power and explosiveness back are spot on!

How do you know if you don't watch it?

Mark them down as a certainty to beat us again then! Sounds like almost everyone is up and going. Perhaps Oliver the one who can pick it up a bit.

The reason bottom teams don't get prime time is because no one wants to watch them. People will watch this game next year and that is great for us. Would you rather play Port at 1pm Sunday at the G in front of $25k and make a loss? We got an ANZAC Day eve game after winning 1 more game then them the previous year. Were you upset about that? Maybe we shouldn't get Friday nights because we tanked in 2009? We get a big win out of this. People just like to complain for the sake of it.

Disrespecting and degrading players says a whole lot more about the poster than the player it's directed at.

Not too sure why people are so upset about this. The attention around this game will be huge. We need these big high pressure games. People will be drawn to see the Bomber players return so the AFL either go 'let's put them in prime time and draw a big crowd/audience, or..... lets put them on Sunday at 4.40 at Freo.' How could you possibly justify option 2? They've committed the crime and they've done their time. Time to move on.

Some interesting thoughts on the Mitchell move. Maybe Clarko, who has won 4 flags (2 after overseeing the transition of losing his best player), should take advice from the experts on Demonland (who delist 90% of our side when we are down at half time).

Agree that is not only possible but likely. If so, he's reporting the truth and it's the manger who lied. I've never understood why people get so worked up by what the media say. Listen to it, assess it and form your opinion. If you've got half a brain you can work out the people that sensationalise what they hear and the ones that report it for what it is.

I believe Barrett's commentary throughout has been that the WA clubs believed him to be 'gettable'. Which given WC's declared public interest and Hogan admitting he was 50/50 at times, was seemingly correct. Cant recall him saying he would go. I may be wrong but I suspect it was more of people hearing what they want to hear as opposed to what is actually said/reported. We we all know how much that happens on here. For the people obsessed with what the media say and going into a frenzy when they aren't right, I'd be more keen on addressing Karl Langdon who said Hogan's next contract would be for a WA club.

Those who said he was gone... you were wrong Those who questioned his commitment to the club... you were wrong Those who personally attacked a young mans character and loyalty while he was/is dealing with a reportedly terminally ill parent, I hope you feel good about yourself. It was pathetic. Good onya Jesse. Let's win flags now.

Some poster's lack of respect on here is pathetic. We know if confronted they'd go back into their shell and can only throw mud from the safety of being behind a keyboard. Luckily, it says more about them than it does the player.

They may very well move Deledio on. But they aren't doing it for 2 players currently in the VFL. Plus, Grimes is a free agent they can get for free and Dawes will unlikely get a contract with us.

Not sure that's what she said. She said she believes he changes his mind a lot. She also said officials were unsure what he's going to do and neither is she. But if I missed that part she said she thinks he's more likely to go then fair enough.
