Rob Mac......

Is Oscar really only 82kg as listed on our site? I'll guess that he's put on a little and it'll be updated soon. Anyway even if he's 88kg now (?) I'm still concerned that he'll be too easily brushed aside. KP backs usually weigh between 93kg & 104kg.

27 minutes ago, Want a Flag said: Why take Harvey as a player. Take him as a part time coach of our small forwards and any other crumbing drills. Saves a place on the list whilst tapping into his knowledge and experience Absolutely agreed Gonzo. And also because players learn things from watching a player alongside them do it, that they can't learn as well from a coach just telling them what to do.

Sure, fair enough Lobster. But that's why i said, " for one year as long as his price is reasonable." Worth a low priced bet I'd say.

I'd definitely take Harvey for one year as long as his price is reasonable. Still got the speed, outside class & goal kicking we need, plus the kids could learn from him. I'll even forgive him for all those times he annihilated us.

Gawn has driven so much of our improvement this year. Another bona-fide ruckman (Spencer is our only other one) should have played 10++ games with him this year. Gawn was burned out today. Ruckmen who have to carry it all alone often only have one great year before burning out, E.G. Jamar 2010. Gawn's needed serious help, and I don't mean someone giving him a "cop out".

Well I'm thinking that Spencer should be given a chance this year (to play 60/40 ruck/forward). (Loving how dangerous Max looks up forward now.) If Jake can't make a combination with Gawn (which he did in the Geelong game) & we have no-one else ready for next year, maybe a one year deal with Vickery if he costs very little & they think he'll minimize his d---head factor. Dawes should be delisted or traded if anyone will take him.

Spencer should be in instead of Dawes. Gawn was our most dangerous forward last week (when in the forward line) and should play forward at least half the game. Spencer's a decent enough ruck now. He deserves a go! It really messed with my hating Dawes' playing after I spent half an hour speaking one on one with him once. Nicest, most intelligent fellow you'll ever meet playing in the AFL. I can understand why Roos likes him, but that's no excuse because we usually lose when he's in the side because his playing is crap.

Good game Jack! Without doubt he's earned and should get a 100th game or more. I'd prefer to rest him next week & play him the following week though, because I fear he tried so hard today, I therefor predict he'll be tired & play worse next week & then be dropped for the rest of the season. Perhaps if we play him the week after next, instead of next week, we'll get more good games from him this year. Just a thought to use our depth to keep a fresher team on the park each week so we don't lose the week following each win. Cheers.

I tried to not be lazy, and searched for the thread from early this season, but still couldn't find it. Could you please post a link to it bb ? I'd like to compare how many wins folk predicted then Vs now. [Btw I think I predicted 8-9, but not sure] Thanks

Dunn or Frost in for OMac Tyson & Jetta in. An easy game for Gawn by resting him forward for half the match while Peder or Spencer ruck. Or giving Gawn the week off & bringing Peder or Spencer in.

I'm glad people are speaking about this now. I've noticed it for years, even in our rotten Etihad game against Brissy in 2013. He's always given the best delivery to our players, yet when he leads to space where he could take an uncontested grab he usually gets burned/ignored. If coaches pulled players up for burning Watts, they'd quickly learn.

You're ok by me Bigred

I saw it & JV was pretty good. Also Nate Jones & Jack Watts were on "That's Good for Footy" tonight. Sadly all this means that JV (and possibly the others) will play like crap this weekend probably due to being so distracted by being on the footy show. It always seems to happen.
