Harsh on Smith, one of our only triers

Backline fell apart without Lever today.

Forget top 4 , even middle of the rd teams like Collingwood and Hawthorn thrash us. We are too slow and not worthy .

Whenever I have a shower I always say that im going for a Robbie Flower, because cleanliness is next to Godliness and he was the closest thing to God that I knew.

I think it will be Pedo for Tim Smith and Joel Smith for Lever . I feel there might be a third change being Stretch ,who’s form in the last two weeks has been hard to ignore , for either Hannan or Spargo or even Melksham if he doesn’t come up.

I’m amazed he is not rated more highly. I mean you only have to watch the bloke play, and see the efforts he puts in contest after contest ,to see that he is a once a generation player.

Who in their right mind would want to leave this club anyway? The place is buzzing and we’re on the cusp of something special

His name isn’t Badloss Its Goodwin.

Goody is good, that’s why his name is Goodwin , because we are now having multiple good wins.

We might scrape into 4th if we can maintain healthy percentage. If not we finish 5th or 6th

What no one has said is that after Lever went off in the first quarter, Harmes stepped in and played the role to perfection. What if we stick with Harmes in that role as he plays tall and can run off as well? We could then add another midfield runner like Stretch or Hunt. Runnng mids are Collingwood’s strength and we should be looking at a plan to combat this instead of just thinking how to replace Jake.

I feel a bit sorry for Dom to find himself out of the team, but even though he has accumulated possessions, he often lacks intensity , very similar to Watts. We are starting to see that this is a non negotiable with Goody.

The logical thing would be that they would be having a very close look at Casey today and whoever stands out from Hunt, Smith and Frost gets the nod.

Best back pocket in the game

Definitely moves like Flower, in the air too.

Gutted for Lever but Harmes did a good job replacing him. Joel Smith is the perfect in for Lever. Vince looks done, unless he played a tagging role. Lewis can be frustrating at times with those dinky kicks that fall short. Jetta was outstanding and should be all Australian back pocket. Fritsch is an absolute beauty .

6. Jetta 5. Fritsch 4. Hogan 3. TMac 2. Gawn 1. Brayshaw

I feared for my life that day as well , lol.

The boys will be fired up for Joneseys 250th, I doubt we will drop this one.

What about when we played cats tigers and hawks? We were undermanned too. Missing two of our very best in Viney and Macdonald . Its all relative

Put it this way they belted the Bulldogs last week and was anyone talking about how undermanned they were then? If anything they were strengthened against us as they added crouch.

I remember when David King rated Stringer higher than Jesse. What a Goose!

I’m absolutely in awe of Jesses form this year. He has taken the next step and has developed into much more than a key forward. As some commentators have mentioned his huge tank and Riewoldt like presence and work rate have seen him develop beyond to what I could’ve dreamed this season.

Also with success comes the inevitable backlash and the haters as well. Id rather that than being pitied. It just gives us extra fuel to prove them wrong, which is a good thing.

Give me a creamy middle any day.
