At least Jack Watts could kick straight. He has skills.

Petty or Hibberd for May. Otherwise, no change!

I am looking forward to seeing Melksham perform against the Hawks. I have a feeling he will play well and maybe the coaching staff do too!

Talking of injuries. We have destroyed the Giants season. Dangerfield out this week and Rohan. Prestia injured and Jack Gunston. We should go hard at the next 3 games.

When our players tackle like this we tend to win. Back when Cameron Bruce wore the 32 we had a season as the number one tackling side in the league. I believe it may have been the year Troy Broadbridge passed away.

There will be no changes. I think Goodwin will not make any changes against Hawthorn either. I see him changing it up,against the Tigers though. You don’t change a winning formula. Team balance and all that!

I have noticed that over recent years, when a team loses to Melbourne, they seem to go on a losing streak for a couple of games.

I still think Essendon suck!

Oskar Baker. Is he he a late addition to the 22?

Looks like he can play wing. A position we have a specific need in. Might be worth a look. Would get him for nothing. He also has a bit of pace and can evade a tackle.

Jordan Galluci is a bust then. How about we rookie Jake Patmore from PAFC then?

Sometimes these guys who have had bad luck can turn into good players.

On a needs basis, I am sure we will pick up Brayden Cook. We are desperate for a winger and more outside run.

Is Jordan Galluci from the Crows worth a look. He is a DFA. He certainly has talent. Is an ex first round pick, but had a bad injury in 2019.

I reckon we are going after Brayden Cook. He is a tall wingman predicted by Cal Twoomey to go at 16 but may slide. Hard at it midfield/forwards may be our other need that pick 19 nets.

Weideman is going to be dynamite with Brown and Fritsch. We cannot trade him, he will be a great big game performer in years to come.

I don’t think that there is much wrong with Oscar McDonald. With Roos in charge he would have developed well with all that mindfulness stuff to build his confidence. I think he is a good athlete but lacks confidence because of a variety of things, including injuries. Joel Smith is an incredible athlete and with a good preseason and no more injuries, he can be a very capable player at both ends of the field. Good coaches can bring the best out of players. I think if Goodwin gets help, then both these players could flourish.

Would Nik Cox be a possibility at Pick 23 for us? 199cm Key Forward. Could be a good option for us.

Just click bait these rumours. Garry loves the sound of his own voice too. Believe it when I see it!

We used to employ Brett Ratten and Chris Fagin and they are 2 of the best coaches in the league right now. Maybe that says enough about the future of our Senior Coach

Our team looked better when he played. I think we may have made the finals if he had played in a couple of key matches which we lost. He has to stay. His top end is higher than all our other players, except Petraccs.

If Jack Viney goes it will probably hurt our Membership Numbers. He is a key player, whose number is on many supporters backs!

Lever has cost us 2 goals with inexcusable clangers.

We look a little soft out the middle, without Viney.

Harley Bennell will get that list spot. No doubts at all.

He is too nice a guy. I think a little bit of training with the Storm and Jack Viney/Angus Brayshaw will help his mongrel. He has the body but the mindset is another thing. You need to be very single minded about that. I think Petracca is building into that kind of player. I think that he could be a Dangerfield in time. Some of it is age related. He understands the requirements of his role better now.
