As well as Bail, Garland and Dunny, dump Jetta, Warnock and Bennell In: Howe, Evans, MacDonald, McKenzie, Blease and Rivers (if not fit give McDonald a go)

I love the fact that alot of the time when he gets the ball, he takes off and often outruns a much smaller/sleeker player... great to watch

Good standard but no hard bodies to test himself against or get used to heavier physical contact

Here's hoping!!

Glass half full - time for some JUICE!!!.... We really are farrrrked for the next month

What's Hansens likelihood of playing? Would be a big plus for us if he doesnt make it into the side

Despite all the media crap i think i would put them on equal footing from what we have seen so far. Natanui hasnt done much since he started, does some great athletic stuff but his footy smarts are terrible IMO. You should be saying 'should ave taken Hurley'.

Ridiculous, it was a great tackle, Jack couldnt help how Dangerfield fell. The MRP is pathetic

Reckon the backline might be a bit top heavy if Rivers were to come back in without dropping one of the other talls, however I have a feeling that Warnock will make way for him even though he played a decent game.

All I was saying was please don't judge a poster who has a low number of posts as uncredible just for that reason, it doesnt give us new guys much of a go at it. Point taken re the trust issue.

I hope you arent stupid enough to think that just because a person has not been a member of this online forum for long means they are not reliable or that their posts have no crediblity.

Didnt hear what the diagnosis was exactly, but think Richo had said after heading into the rooms it would take too much work to get him back out today, but he would be there next week. Hopefully I heard right..

I agree with the general gist of your argument, and they should hae dropped big name player like davey or sylvia to really make a statement. However this week I think Warnock, who is a great spoiler of the ball is actually the best player in our side to match up on Tippet, a stand and mark forward. Also your judgement of Bennells skills as elite is a tad over the top.

A good option would be to draft for a number of mature age recruits and ready made players from VFL/WAFL/SANFL etc.

From what we have seen recently, i'd be very surprised if half the team were to put their bodies on the line at all

Determination, a bit passion and some physicality! Really want the boys to get stuck into them, don't care if they get weeks

Would have to say currently Mark Jamar - love to watch his contested marking, he tries his heart out and never gives up. IMO our most important player too. In the past would have to be Jeff Farmer. Was so exciting to watch on his good days, really lit up the field.

If Newton could actually compete at AFL level. Time and time again he has been hopeless - on the other hand the last few weeks Spencer has shown heart, been trying his guts out and it shows with his second and third efforts. Also, his contested marking and bodywork has improved greatly I think.

Bring in Nicholson for Morton; showed some zip and didnt shirk a physical contest in the twos. Also Bate for Dunn and possibly Spencer for Bennell - there is no doubt Spencer and Martin can fit into the side, and IMO it could be very effective with a view to rotating all three big men through the forward line (especially Rush).

Moving Sylvia and Green would take away two of our most important and experienced avenues to goal. Having said that at the moment and based on recent form I would be open to almost anything.
