Even the Port supporters were louder than the Melbourne supporters, really bad day.

I think teams have worked us out already and West Coast showed them the way. Just get it on the outside as quick as possible as we have no run. Game over everytime

Watts was good

No leadership, no run, and the agression was missing too.. They got the selection of Viney terribly wrong . Looked so unfit.

Hibberd is a shadow of what he was

Viney is strangely quiet

Viney is strangely quiet

Hore is a pretty handy mature aged intercept marking defender , will give us good coverage for the likes of Lever who is still 5 weeks away.

I wouldn’t worry about JLT form, you watch our intensity lift, especially with Viney in the middle.

I would have thought Oskar Baker would be more ready to debut than Tom, he would give us a bit of extra pace too, but having said that I hope young Sparrow flies high today.

If Pruess is right I reckon he will play, especially with Smith out.

Damn, Had Vanders and Smith in my super-coach too!

Joel Smith is my pick for a huge year. Topped the league goalkicking in the JLT, and with his leap and athleticism will hold down a spot up forward for us.

Looks like his so called “Mates “ in Perth aren’t exactly steering him in the right direction

This is a chat forum isn’t it? Never had an opinion on anything mate?

It’s interesting to note that our forward line used to consist of Hogan, Jurrah and Clarke, who we all thought were world beaters. Just goes to show it takes a lot more than natural talent to succeed.

I’m not so sure if it will ever click for him, likes partying too much. The clock is ticking.........

I always felt football was secondary in his life , and no wonder with all the stuff he has gone through. I doubt whether he will reach his full potential and I feel he is a candidate for possible early retirement.

Yeah I’m just being ultra conservative and proving a point that we do have to rely on any one player.

I think it’ll be more like 50 from TMac 30 from Weed 25 from J Smith 20 from Melksham 20 from Petracca

Already showed enough in the finals, and should only get better as he gets older. We wont have to rely on him solely as TMac is the No. 1 forward. Joel Smith kicked the most goals out of anyone in the whole competition in the JLT and could be a revelation up forward. The Hunt experiment also looks promising, and guys like Melksham and Petracca always chime on for a couple. I think our forward line has the potential to go to another level this year.

It was well after he disposed of the ball. There was no need for it

Smith TMac. Hunt Petracca. Weideman. Melksham Vandenberg. Viney. Fritsch Salem. Frost. Hibberd Jetta. Omac. Lewis Gawn Brayshaw Oliver Harmes, Hore, Jones Hannan Ist emergency - Stretch

It was off the ball, and head high so he deserves a week. Of course I’d love him to get off , but would be shocked if he did.
