I am trying to remember the Guy that was running it, Andy? we sat in the old southern stand in those days.

Not Elwood, different train line

And I will let you on a secret and tell know one, I was also in the cheer squad in the early 70s

That's ok.

I'm a bomber am I, my membership for the last 22 years as a Redleg and Trident does not say that.

So enlighten me?

Yep and did you read why? and there is plenty, most of the list I like, but I look at a game eyes open, not he's my favourite player so you cannot criticise, so tell me does Tmac deserve a game on his form?

And Tmac kicked goals against east perth under 10's and everyone one was saying he's back in form, that worked out well.

Caleb Daniel might have an answer about the height question.

Nothing like another turnover king to come back into the side.....

Neeld like Noble walked into a mess of clubs, players ran the coach and players moaned to board members no doubt Neeld has his problems but when the board could not see the problems it just went down hill from there, gee didn't the great Gary Lyon have a hand in his appointment?

It's about getting the best team on the park to make sure you can get in the top four once that yeah give him the games but not now.

Our weakness in the midfield is that we don't rove well to opposition ruck tap-outs. That could be a legacy of Max's dominance but nonetheless, it's a weakness And that is Yze's area as a midfield coach and i do agree with you, We won't know about Schache as Goddwin always falls back to Tmac even though injuries have hurt him and is not the player he was, backup only for me.

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.
