What??? Tom is having a terrible game and MacDonald is having his best for the year.

Jesus... he's having a pretty good game and you have to grab one incident in an effort to bag him!!!

Damn... hate Milne!!

Yes, we need to beat them AND not allow Milne his 500th.

Yes, it was almost worthy of "worst post eva" status when it first appeared... now I think all doubt has been removed.

Finally we are getting free kicks because we are actually going in first for the ball!!

Even Joel MacDonald is doing good things tonight.

They are looking good tonight... lots of good pressure in the forward line. And for those who were saying Jones will never be anything more than a C or B grade player, I think his showing in the first four rounds is showing he is very capable of stepping up to be an A grader once the rest of the team catches up with him.

Jones is doing this single handedly!

Jones and Rivers are keeping us in this, while McDonald is keeping them in front.

Forget these suggestions of Clark for captain... should be Jones... if anyone leads by example, he's the man.

Tom McDonald is having a shocker.

This review system is getting out of control... why on earth they needed to review that obvious behind is way way beyond me.

Jesus Jaded, relax... at this rate you'll have blown your foofer valve before we reach round 11.

Just to open up... Tapscott comes in for Frawley, Sylvia is sub and MacDonald, Howe and Magner start on the bench.

Bench is: Joel Macdonald, Jeremy Howe, James Magner

And Sylvia is the sub... think a few will NOT be happy about that.

Well, it's been announced that Tapscott is in for Frawley.

Yeah, I heard that too... Three quarter time break at GWS game, it was mentioned. But if he wasn't named in the original side, how can that be?

Well, I suppose there's still a chance that Fitzpatrick might get the nod.

Maybe not having a tall target up front will force our mids to lower their eyes and aim for a leading forward such as Petterd, Sylvia or Howe.

Watching GWS at the moment is telling me that one thing I really want to see us do is to step up big time from what we did last week. GWS are presently running rings around the Bulldogs and that, I'm afraid, is putting our performance of last week into some perspective.

I would like to see Neeld trying a few different things such as the mooted move of Watts in defence on Reiwoldt. Also want to see them holding marks and not standing off their opponents giving them free disposal...I want to see them attacking relentlessly and the forwards leading to the ball rather than just having it bombed up to them; that simply won't work with no Clark on the receiving end. The last thing I would like to see is Howe learning to lead for a mark rather than coming from behind in an effort to take a flyer every time.

I thought "niggling OP" was a reference to olisik, the Original Poster on this thread.

Are you saying they'll introduce a new team just to keep us off the bottom?
