Or a ferry ride across the bay if you are big Maxy!

Bulldogs are cooked. Their run home is as bad as ours. They are playing a ton of top 8 teams. I reckon they will finish 10th or 11 th.

Want to keep Bedford and Brayshaw from this year’s list. I think thy might persist with Rosman. Will Hibberd go around for another year. He is a great player, I would like to see him have another year. That would see 4 go. Smith is a political hot potato at the club. Don’t know what will happen there. Who knows what happens with Luke Jackson.

I think our small forwards should cause chaos for Adelaide.

Is Sam McClure the Field Marshal on SEN? Or is it Sam Edmund or someone else? I can never remember?

I don’t rate Caro and I don’t rate 95% of AFL journalists. As much as I like Garry Lyon, when he knows more about footy and articulates it better the majority of other AFL journalists then you know you have a quality control issue. I mean Damien Barrett and Hutchy are appalling. That little worm that they parade on SEN in the morning that Garry and Tim fawn over, just awful. I think AFL journalism is generally sub par in Melbourne. I can’t speak for the other states.

However, he can actually write in that strange language so butchered in our country. I believe it is called English.

Sorry. I don’t mean to burst your bubble. She is a sports journalist in a country which has a generally low standard of journalism. Martin Flanagan is a proper Sports Journalist. She is terrible! I have never read anything decent by her.

Caroline Wilson is not a Sports Journalist. She is a person of limited intellect, a reasonable but not particularly impressive vocabulary, arrogant disposition and she has an extremely large chip on her shoulder which seems to boil down to being generally unappealing in both tone and appearance.

Absolutely no changes please. Rivers is the only player at VFL level who deserves a game at some point this year. Gawn and McDonald need some recuperation time.

Amazing performance and very happy with the team. I think we could go all the way again! But please will the pathetic opposition sooks ( Brisbane, Sydney, Collingwood etc) stop booing our players every time we kick for goal at a set shot. It was great to have the majority of that noise drowned out by our own supporters so let’s keep getting to the game in numbers!

Bedford is a hell of a finisher. I think we have another Aaron Davey on our hands.

I shall happily take 3 first round picks for Jackson and nothing less than that.

What about giving Oskar Baker a run on the wing? It is now or never for his position on the list and he has some real upside as a winger. I also want to see Bedford and May in. Maybe Weideman should get a run too. Van Rooyen has to get some consideration for a debut soon!

I think the press wanted this decline. They kept asking whether we were unbeatable, until we were beaten. Now they think we are falling apart. I think we can right the ship pretty easily with some steady heads.

Play some fringe players who are performing at Casey and drop a few prima donnas. That is what is required. This may be a culture issue that needs addressing now, before the season gets away from us.

Out: Mitch Brown, Turner and Pickett. In: Van Rooyen, Bedford and May Van Rooyen is apparently playing better than Weideman right now.

Bring in Van Rooyen, May, Bedford and Dunstan. No idea who to drop.

Bring in Bedford, Van Rooyen and May. Get rid of a few.

Game done. Pathetic!

How lazy is the Melbourne chase down.

Shame Bedford is not the Sub.

The whole thing has been a beat up by the media. Most of those journalists (at the press conference) can barely string a grammatically correct sentence together.

I have a feeling Turner might debut. A key defender, 194 cm, been in reasonable form, what we need with May out I guess.

Going to Melbourne Grammar does not mean you are well educated. It just means that you are sat in a room where you have a better opportunity of becoming well educated than some other environments. I have worked in top private schools and they are full of people who are not intellectually aware.
