Random Task

Hunt is a liability down back against the better teams sadly. Has so many weapons but disposal and footy iq not among them.

Clearance goal, fmd is that what it looks like?

Looking forward to some soft free kicks coming our way to hide the lopsided ledger

Langdons form has been scattered at best since he got concussed. I think we're missing his form from the first half of the season more than we realise.

So we get no prior opportunity it seems

Who would have thought Fritsch would become our most accurate set shot?

From memory the doggies have a bit of form playing funny buggers at selection. Would expect to see one of their talls being a late out.

Maynard and Tucker would be two that I would look at if possible for half back positions. Dawson can play this role as well or as a winger but sounds like he doesn't want to leave. I feel our midfield is still immature and lacking leadership. They may not be the exact type of players we need (inside mids) but I reckon Parker or Cunnington would be a great free agency acquisition on a two year contract, possibly on reduced coin with the lure of a potential premiership.

Are we talking about the incident where beanpole fritsch hip-and- shouldered DGB fairly in a marking contest? Pretty sure it's not baileys fault that DGBs shoulders are made of glass.

Since Dunkley isn't a confirmed case I presume that they'll be treated as casual contacts and would only require to isolate until they return a negative test result.

Fair comments, I put VDB out as an out because I can't see the footy department dumping the vice captain and VDB is on the fringe.

Not a bad thought with Jackson for Weideman. Jackson will be awesome but his output is waning and gave us little when around the ball tonight. Weideman should provide more of a threat forward as well.

Out: VDB In: Harmes Rivers is looking like he needs a rest so I wouldn't be opposed to him going out for Bowey.

Pathetic. Still picking and choosing when to give it their all.

0 to everyone

You can tell when we're off. Double grabbing loose balls and inviting pressure. Slow predictable ball movement. So frustrating to watch.

This team can never just let us relax comfortably.

Afl website stating some players and staff are classified as tier 1 contacts and will have to isolate for 14 days regardless of result. Thankfully none of the Melbourne staff seem caught up in this. Clubs listed as staff or players potentially exposed are Collingwood, essendon, GWS, North, St kilda, Sydney, Hawthorn and Bulldogs. Maybe Hawthorn might have some late outs tonight.

Don't think their kidneys would pass medical testing.

Poor bloke has to play for Hawthorn, surely that's punishment enough. Also we turfed him and brought in Langdon as a result, I want to know where to send the gift basket.

Was about to support Richmond winning, then i saw the mug on Riewoldt and Lynch. Cannot do it.

Fortune favours van the brave den south australia berg.

Long way to go but Noah Yze is potentially one to keep an eye out for. Currently playing U15s for Ashburton where he has kicked 23 goals in 7 games. Would be eligible for father/son selection in the 2024 draft if he shows sufficient talent for AFL.

I'd be surprised if he went top 10 based on the few games I've seen him play, looks incredibly raw and will take a number of years before he may or may not make the grade. Big risk for an early pick. Might be an indication of the quality of the draft if he goes that early. Perhaps we'll trade into next year's draft and back in development of last year's recruits. Still, there a lot to play out before draft time. He's not in the conversation for the high end picks like Daicos, Horne, Callaghan or Darcy so could go anywhere from pick 5 through to the 4th round.
