I really hope Clark can get well and play for us again... It would be disappointing if he doesn't return... after pinning my hopes in Scully and then Jurrah.... I'm a bit over individual players... If he can't make it, so be it....

Hogan hasn't played a game.... I'd be uncomfortable if he came in as the stand alone main man.... We need to ease him in, with the support of Dawes and Fitzpatrick (Clark)... It could real damage his confidence, if he comes in and get smashed by a number 1 defender... Hopefully Dawes is playing when Hogan comes in...

Whats the chances of this thread, staying realistic?

Besides our injuries and depleted forward line... We really have improved, our midfield looks good... Roos identify our problem and fixed it.. Our current problem now can be fixed with players from our list... All we need is two of Dawes, Clark, Hogan or Fitzpatrick and we'd be a ten goal better side.... Even though we will lose the next couple of matches, things are really starting to look up for us.... We really need to sign Roos on for another three years... The original two/three years isnt enough... I really hope that Roos is happy and wants to finish the job that looked imposible, until he took it...

There is something suss about the amount of early injuries we got in this game.... has anybody reviewed vision of these injuries?

West Coast have definitely improved this year, they will make top 4 this year.... I'm not confident, but every game is winnable...

Does anyone know how far off Jamar is? If he's available, plonk him in the square... If he's not available, then put him there anyway...lol.. Surely he would be better at a key position role, then our small forwards... At least he could bring it to ground...

Howe is a good player when he plays his role... He was competing against defensive tactics normally reserved for the best KPF in the team... When Dawes and Hogan (and Clark maybe) return, his game will pick up where it left off... He's not a Key Forward..Watching him struggle with the double teaming defensive tactics, really showed me how important tall forwards are in the modern game... Jeez... A couple of years ago jurrah dominated up forward alone, he would have owned this match... maybe he is a better player and a bigger loss, then i thought he was.... The delivery wasn't any better back then...

the intensity in the first 10 min, was great... But it was never going to last.... The saints did well to contain the damage and settled into the game better... With that intensity we need to kick four goals...

Looks like Max King will get and early debut...

i thought we were actually playing better then the saints... In the last we had Byrnes playing as our Key forward...lol... Watching the ball rebounding out of our forward line, after all the hard work the boys put in to get it there.. Was the most disappointing part... Match day injuries killed us...

we should have won this.... Pederson as the main target killed us.... And did Howe play? Farout!!

Well Trengove, watts, Toumpas, M Jones, N Jones and Bernie show a bit... Hate that we lost, but happy with these players... Losing Fitzpatrick in the second killed us, how do you plan for that.... Farout.... How do we win a match now with only Pederson as out tall forward... McDonald playing with injury, pretty much describes our day....

Bernie is the barometer.... As soon as he was tagged out, we started to lose momentum... Watts looks great..... Trengove has stood up, need him to lift a little more... Toumpas showed abit aswell Haven't seen Howe? Cross hasn't really set the world on fire....

lol... Just throwing up some different names...

Who knows really? Could be anyone.... Ling would be a seemingly good choice... Tom Harley was a strong figure in turning Geelong into a power house... Brad Miller wasn't the strongest player, but as a coach, he could be made of the right stuff... Cameron Bruce might be a handy coach as well...

James Hird isn't the only criminal in this case..... Funny how bomber Thompson's involvement here has been push aside? Pretty sure most involved were at Geelong with him, at some point? Also the warning call from AD reeks of full blown corruption... How did the league know to call the bombers? What else does the league allow to go on at other clubs(other elite clubs)? Are AFL matches fixed? For the sole purpose of making money? We know they fix the fixture, why wouldn't they fix the matches too? It would be simple for them... Turn a blind eye to dirty rich clubs, force the hand of umpire's and pay off the smaller clubs with hand outs...easy... I believe the only reason we even heard about this, is because someone forgot to pay off the government.... The real victims here are the supporters.... We are the ones who pay for this [censored]... We are also the ones who have allow it to happen year in year out.... Aussie Rules is our game, not AD's or the AFL's..... IT'S OURS!! i don't really care about ASADA or AD or JH or the bombers.... But just because ASADA didn't tell AD, doesn't mean he didn't know Wow... This thread has really moved since about 20 minutes ago.... Hmmm should i put the time in to catch up, or just move on?

lol... Team success..... Get him to count the difference in the trophy cabinet

I'm hoping for victory, but you never know what really will happen until the final siren...Also if you add those players to their 22, then there team is not the basket case that people are making out.... Looks like the strong leadership that we've been crying out for, for seven year...

The saints best team, is still a very strong team.... I'm not as confidant as most here, about this game.... It seems an easy win, but we've been here before....

lol GWS just beat the Swans...

do you think the MFC should be asking the MCC, to change the colour of the seats?

are you saying that you would recruit Newton or cook over Jurrah? Regardless... Recruiting any of them at the end of the year, won't solve our current forward dilemma...

clearly the perfect former demon here would be Jurrah.... Jeez Cook? Newton? Farout...
