Top of the Ladder?
So long as we are on the âright sideâ of MCG finals it doesnât matter. If finishing 4th means we end up playing Port in Adelaide, then I rather finish 1st.

POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs North Melbourne
Agreed that ANB was putrid today. Awful in the first half on Zeibel and couldnât hit a target in the second half. What gets to me about Melksham is that he doesnât do the team thing like everyone else. I understand he is a very very good user of the footy, but heâs also selfish and lazy. His half hearted tackles are a slap in the face to Spargo who is 4kg wet and yet throws himself at tackles with no care for his safety. There are a lot of players working hard in the VFL and big pressure for spots, and so I donât understand why Melksham hangs onto his spot when he doesnât do enough.

Does McDonald go back?
Goodwin said post match Petty is ready to play and will get an opportunity. Tmac was also mentioned but I believe he would be the backup option. May is not a spring chicken. Itâs important to win games but you need to always keep one eye on the future. Petty is the future, and if he isnât, now is the time to find out.

2021 Injury List
I donât understand why we rushed to give him 5 years when he has so many ongoing foot issues. There is no doubt heâs an important part of our team and we are worse off defensively in clearances when he isnât playing. But he hasnât had an injury free season for a long long time, and that doesnât appear to be changing. Itâs a real concern that he canât get over the foot problems.

Norf can play against Brown better than anyone. He would have trained on their defenders for 10 pre seasons. Itâs little wonder May smashed Lynch last week. But Brown was always going to take time to get into the swing of things and for us to work out a structure around him. Itâs exactly why we didnât bring him in last week against Richmond. Our delivery inside 50 in the first half was not helping him, and he looked shaky on the lead. He hasnât played senior footy in almost a year. This was always going to be a slow start. I donât think we should judge him on today.

Does McDonald go back?
The entire team was very poor that game until the last quarter. Shades of todayâs game, but today we were worse.

Does McDonald go back?
But Petty is on the list for this exact reason and he will never be ready if we donât make him ready. He did ok when May was out. Replacing Tommo is much easier a task than replacing May. We have to give Petty a real crack at it. He has shown plenty in the VFL and he is the future. If it doesnât work out we have TMac, but people forget why TMac was taken out of the backline. His deficiencies havenât changed.

CHANGES: Rd 08 vs Sydney
No chance Tmac goes back when you have developed Petty for 5 years for this exactly reason. He didnât go back when May was out, and he wonât now that Tommo is out. It was a stop gap today because Norf were playing tall down back. Out: Tommo ?, Melksham (wishful thinking), Baker In: Petty, Chandler, Sparrow or Harmes Weideman comes in if Fritta is suspended.

I said to my friend what hard work today was. He said âyeah I would hate to work hard to be 7-0â. Has a point... stupid non AFL supporter ?

POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs North Melbourne
Jackson turned the game for us in the second half. Gawn was having a mare and Jackson went into the middle and just dominated. Him and Kosi and Fritta won it for us in the end. So thatâs a big positive. The rest of the game, the less said the better. Brown needs a lot of time to get going. He looks slow and rusty. Kudos to Tmac for swinging back and holding his own. It canât be easy. Heartbreaking for Tomlinson. Petty will come in which is a great opportunity for him, but Tommo will be missed!
