Not necessarily a young untried ruckman It's worth paying an extra established B grade ruckman as a spare than paying 6-8 midfield types who in all likelyhood aren't going to feature very often Yeah I get that, Schache could nearly have filled that role not that I truly believe he would have been the answer but he is a bigger body type to do the job.

We have tried to recruit a young ruckman and it has not worked, watch how we allowed a man on his own at centre bounces cannot figure that out that whats Cripps and co do most of the time, the old saying when getting beaten stop the bleed, man up take control then get on with your game again but today, get beaten and wait for the break.

I think we got seduced with the Max and Grundy team and I agree with you on not having another ruckman on the list, I thought Petty was good after halftime, I give McVee a pass he's learning and will get better and better I just hope the coaches take stock and learn from it and adjust.

As long as the white rabbit does not play.......

Whilst I agree with you in general and the backline did not have a good day but when the pill comes in that many times, any backline will be in trouble, it's just a matter of when. Grundy was up against it and throwing JVR is not the move to but thats the cards you are dealt with.

Oh it's not a problem is it how dd it go yesterday, they went back to 2021 football sides play a different style we did not, as for we are the highest scoring side have a look at who we have played and how they are playing don't get conned by that stat.

Well we know the doggies form, swans are hit and miss, if the game at the Gabba was not stoped we would have stared down a 10 goal loss and the eagles well they had east Perth under 10's playing, we have the talent it's the game plan in the forward line that will kill us.

Well if we keep going back to 2021 style of play season over, forward line is dysfunctional, keep going back to Tmac and we will keep failing, JVR is leaning but at least he is trying to crash packs and bringing the ball to ground, can someone teach him how to use his hands when marking and before someone says what do you know, look how many times the ball comes out of his hands and he try's to double grab, that is his weakness but he is young and playing in a hard position to play. Cannot figure out how you have Trac not in the guts at the start of the game, put your best in because Kossie is not a midfielder if it's to please him to stay then wrong move, they did the same with brayshaw before he signed to contract waste of time. When you let the opposition build a wall across the H/B line you are in trouble and that is what happened yesterday because they know all your players are up one end of the ground and it's congestion time, no where to run so they just kick it back with long kicks it also becomes a physical test on the body. We will beat sides but when the heat is on with our forward line entries it is going to be hard going stop going to the well with Tmac, Melk I am not confident with Schache but just try him for a few games, hell it might be even worth trying Jefferson, I know that it is early but I would sooner play someone that can chase than become a witches cone. Fritsch please learn to tackle you can put your body into it and stop trying to side saddle them. Come on Simon spend the week on the forward line we don't have a power forward yet, so do something to make it work.

Well I can see a $100 bet from you know who......🤭🤭🤭🤭

Jesus mate don't start this war again....lol

Well now tell me how Tmac is worth a game in the forward line, the guy injuries have caught up, we then went back to down the line kicks into packs in the forward line no system, Kossie is not a midfielder, whilst the backline made plenty of mistakes which did not help, but when the pill comes in that many times the perceived pressure causes mistakes we were out coached out played, now back to the drawing board for the forward line. The bombers forwards stayed in front unlike us which gives you two chances with mark or free we just start from behind i cannot understand that.

Stop blaming the backline, if the damm pill is coming in with ease the flood gates will open, no forward line, midfield just not pushing hard enough, stop with hand balling to someone running on the inside when there is no one to go in the next passage of play. As for the Spargo, umpire was correct, he is know for ducking the head, stop with Kossie in the middle get him just in the forward line.

And if it is, so be it get the best you can for him, the world won't cave in, this year we have a big hand with draft picks it will be interesting, I hope he stays myself but it's a business now clubs move on contracted players so why should they be the same.

Yes, but the trouble with Tom, injuries have affected his speed and ability to turn back quickly and it's a pity but it is what it is

Something similar the secret in the forward line is run your opponent around drag as many as you can open space for people to lead in, but now it's about contested football lock it in trouble you can do both I am amazed when the ball gets kicked in from the H/f line everyone just stands waiting, forwards standing behind their man you see it all the time, Nick Riewoldt was asked why he ran his opponent even around when he ball was not near him, answer I wanted to tire him out and start my lead on the run straight away think he was pretty damm good at that.

but you have the other forward and pocket moving as well, it cuts down on pack mentality in the square after all it would really only apply to centre bounces.

I would love to see the H/F start out wide same with the pockets, it would be a nightmare for the likes of Kossie to run in to open space but they keep lining up like ducks in a row.

Not worried if people agree with me, they are my opinions and I don't need people to agree with me to be right or wrong that why it's called a forum. 2. He is not a legend 3. Why would I talk to Jack he is not going to agree with me is he?

You call what I say about Viney a rugby player and lack of footy IQ Vitriol, you really have led a sheltered life.

Salem is clean with the ball but pace has dropped off, but still links up with May and co, would not rush him back until he is fully fit, but who do you take out if McVee or Bowey are playing the role?

For you to answer me about VC shows me where you are at...lmfao

Settle down get back in your high chair, big deal he's a VC you do know it's vice captain not Victoria Cross there is nothing courageous about being Vice captain, and again you still do not understand what I said but keep trying.

It seems I had a post not allowed to be posted and I can only assume that the post in the admins minds might have hurt some peoples feelings, it seems it not what you know but who you know if I get banned for this so be it.

Do you really think opposition players go jesus i'm on Viney today i'm shaking in my boots is that your thinking. I know who needs to grow up, one day you will.

Yes mate it does but thank you for your wonderful contribution.
