    After Tom marked Harmes' goal and kicked his hardly any players went to him even tho it came at an important time and was the one to put us in front of a fast starting Hawks. 

    Harmes wen to him and was animated but it looked more like 'what have you done' and Bedford was excited.  Weideman and Fritsch reactions were minimal at best. 

    To me the overall lack of reaction says a bit about what teammates thought.

    Agree LH. No upside to taking that mark, only potential downside ... drop the mark, or not take a one touch mark then it has cost a goal. No Hawks player near, and the ball was heading through the goals at head height.  There was a reaction of WTF in the crowd around me when it happened.

    Not team first !!

    I can't remember who ended up kicking the goal but Bedford's pick up at his feet when it came to him & he just picked it up & got it to a teammate was awesome

    It was Bedford, to Tmac to BBB who kicked the goal.

    To digress, I just watched Yze's presser. He is very intelligent and articulate. I doubt that we'll have him for long ... senior coach in waiting.

  3. It's hard to imagine Luke wanting to go to West Coast. They are a rabble. 

    And Freo already has an A grade ruckman.

    Mark my words* ... he will sign up to the Dees for a 2 year extension. I may have already posted this prediction .. 

     

     

    *Soz, should have issued a jerky expression alert

    Lever can marshal Tomlinson, Petty & Smith. Mitch Brown can take over Fritta's role for a week or 2. Daw for Gawn? Only swapping a G for a D and losing an N. Sparrow was our Petracca backup. Clarry - I don't see any like for like player to come in there. We'd require a re-jig of the midfield for the weeks he's not there. Do we throw Brayshaw back in there?

    I presume we're all going through the exercise of working out who's most dispensible?? Or more particularly who isn't. 

    Gawn/Oliver/Petracca/Langdon/Brayshaw are clearly irreplaceable. Fritta is borderline.

    I know WCW wont be happy with this, but I think that May is. Tomlinson would come in and Lever/Petty/Tomlinson and several of Hunt/Bowey/Rivers/Hibbert/Brayshaw/Smith (hmm?) is still a pretty good backline. Any of Hunt/Bowey (although preferably not)/Rivers are replaceable by Hibbert/Smith.

    I think pretty much everyone else is replaceable. 

    It's a shame that Oskar Baker wasn't able to perform better when he had his chance. 

    I'm sure everyone is hanging out for further news.

    Stand by for more covid changes I'm thinking!

    I hope you're wrong, but I'm fearful you may be correct. And I think it's more than MFCSS.

    My thoughts:

    • Lever back is good ... Smith out
    • Apparently doubts about Viney ... fingers crossed
    • Daw won't get a game unless both Max & Jacko are out
    • It's a no from me to Melksham ... he simply doesn't buy into defence first philosophy
    • I'm not a fan of Bedford's, but I guess he comes in for Kozzy
    • TMac in for Jacko, but Weid to give Max a chop out in the ruck and TMac forward

    And if the club listened to fans, Neal Bullen and Spargo would be delisted and not premiership players

    The Club shopped ANB round at the end of 2020 season along with TMac. However there was no interest in either player from other clubs. So both stayed ... and the rest is history!

    I reckon Smith stays in. He was in the team with May Lever Petty in the final against the Lions. Got injured and was replaced by Hibberd. Smith is not a depth player, he plays most of the time when fit  

    he is so versatile that you can have him in with 3 talls. His spoiling and 1:1 defending has become very good. Great in the air with an amazing reach. 

    lever in for Hunt/Rivers. 

    Are you talking about the final when he got his pants pulled down by Cameron?

    If so, not a great point of reference.
