I agree Oliver was terrible especilla by foot. He lifted late but his early play was horrible. -
I am so angry Shot ourselves in the foot Umps were terrible but can't blame the loss on that. We had a bunch of rubbish decisions/non-decisions go against us but we got a number of soft frees as well

He's played 2 games! You'll never see it if you don't give him a chance

I imagine TMac will be back for the Port game rather than asking Jackson to backup after a 4 day break

They already got Heeney, Mills & Blakey for nothing as well as COLA which helped them pinch Buddy. What they can't miss the finals more than one year in succession? May as well just creat divisions/conferences if you want to ensure certain teams have a better chance at finals every year.
2 games for 2 goals vs 5 games for 4 goals?
And Essendon are just a pain in the [censored] to deal with. They'd probably want Brayshaw plus a 2nd rounder
I would bring in Jones but after reading the McGowan article in the fixture thread it sound like Tomlinson in for VDB might be the only change unless Nev pulls up sore (he seemed to hurt his shoulder slightly at the end of last week's game in the contest where Wingard hurt his foot).
Finally someone acknowledges our hard fixture! Hasn't rated a mention on 360 or On The Couch it was all about the Pies Cats and Bulldogs! Cats have a rough stretch but the only have to jump on a plane once from WA to Brisbane. It is rough being on a 4 day break but nowhere near as bad as what we've copped
The only one we have on FTA is the Thurs game against Port. The rest are all Fox games
How old is he? I don't see Essendon wanting to let him go but maybe a swap for Brayshaw.
Williams. I don't think Cameron would be a good target for us, would cost a fortune and he wouldn't be getting the delivery he gets at GWS. Plus I have faith in Weideman to develop and Jackson to be able to play that roaming CHF role.
I'd rather chase Zac Williams. Would be cheaper and fill a need coming off half back/wing.
Jones for VDB Initially I was leaning towards TMac for Jackson but then I started questioning it. The only reason to bring him in is experience and a bigger body. If it's wet he's not likely to be clunking more marks than Jackson, Jackson is better below his knees and also offers a proper chopout for Maxy in the ruck. Keep Jackson in for this one then rest him against Port and bring in TMac then.
They are also mistaking "emotion" for passion.
North is playing in Qld the week before they play us. They have a game against Brisbane in Tas after our game.
I saw an article the other day saying North were going to be based in Tas for 4 games
Playing in Tassie isn't the issue. PLaying in Queensland, Adelaide and Tassie in a 10 day span before heading back to Queensland is the issue when you compare it to the fixtures of the other teams. Collingwood is the only other team with as raw a deal as us. Geelong have a 4 day break going from WA to QLD but they are in WA for 3 weeks then in Qld for 3 weeks. We are hopping from state to state to state to state. 4 states in 16 days its ridiculous! We had better be ending the home and away season with a block of games in Qld. You can bet we will get another 4 day break to meet the maximum of three 4 day breaks per team, I am just hoping that it is shared around and plenty of other teams are copping 3x4 day breaks as well!
Good ball user of half back/wing Dunno who is available but that is what we need Small lockdown defender to takeover Nev as well but depends how Lockhart comes along I guess
I wonder how the players families who are relocating to the Queensland hub would feel about that? They'd be thinking why did I even bother coming up here?
Whats the best it comes down to that game as to whether we play finals or not? Standalone game at the end of the season, defacto wildcard game?
