I wanted to put a double like on this...software doesn't allow. ...but spot on 'Gonzo' on all counts.

I'm not so sure it's so obvious that he is...

Howe was recruited to Collingwood as a forward. I think it took Bucks about 2 weeks to realise he was a defender. If we move Tomlinson forward and he has the same success as Howe back then he will be a star and exactly what we want... I know, I am delirious...

Small forward line... You can almost guarantee that we will bomb the ball in again like we did against WC. Goody will then be talking about the problem with connection... He's going to have to own that one sooner of later.

Not from me he hasn't... He would be the first one out of the team if I was selecting it. They let him get away with rubbish form last year and he just thinks he needs to turn up to get a game now.... All Tom is giving us is promise of 2018...

I reckon it's good for him to have a run in the ruck to breaks things up. ...but to play pretty much full time as a ruck in preseason games was just plain stupid. If he's going to make it as a forward (and we desperately need him to), then he needs to learn his craft as a forward and not spend his time learning a role that he may do for 5 maybe 10 minutes a game. I was a fan of Godwin's, but the patience is wearing thin... His only skill seems to be good relations with the players and we know how that worked for Dean Bailey...

That's the problem 'P-man'... It should be Fritsch's role but they are playing him out of position. He is one of our better kicks to position and is wasted playing deep where it is too easy for opposition players to take him off the ball. We saw this with Howe, nice mark but only when he gets a run at it. Howe had to go back to play his best football, Fritsch has the smarts that Jeremy doesn't and he will play his best as that floating/link up forward...

...and what a poor decision that was. We don't have a problem in the ruck. We have a real problem with finding a key forward. It would have made more sense to get Weid to work on one part of his game....as a forward would be my call. ...but then I'm only a fan, what would I know.

Hard to tell on TV...whilst on that. Wouldn't it be nice if the expert commentators told us the things we can't see rather then continually repeating the obvious. It seems Fritsch is being played deep forward and I think this is a mistake of a similar magnitude to playing him in defence most of last season. Fritsch needs to be a floating forward a bit like Tom Lynch has been at Adelaide. Train him for the role and play him there... The deep forward will have to be Tommy or the Weid...my preference is Weid at the moment as I think Tommy is too one dimensional and that dimension is gone.

Pretty difficult mate, he's only played one game.

I thought the same...I thought we had changed into Richmond jumpers. I think the Tiges are suffering a bit of the old premiership hangover. They're not as good as their publicity will have them believe. Good old Jack struttin' around preening himself but doing nothing else. Rioli lucky to have 3 kicks in the last 2 games. Pickett, great story last year but looks out of his depth as do a number of others. If you're off your game in this competition it makes you look stupid and they looked it tonight. Be interesting to see if they can break out of it or go the way of the Dogs...

Would probably lead our tackle count at the moment. He doesn't run back hard enough at times but tackling is not an issue, he lays them and they stick. The superstars don't usually chase or tackle...at least he has half of this covered. He could do with hitting the scoreboard a bit more but I agree with the article. He is a bit of the forgotten man...

It's about time Tommy was made to earn his place...Jackson has had one game. Tom has probably played one good game in 18 months.

Yep... What's with you and Donald and building walls. They don't work...people go around, over or under them. Tonight will be interesting.

Judging by last week, that's a failed experiment. ...and to be honest a dumb idea. McEvoy is a liability at CHB. Won't be long before he is back in the ruck full time.

Losing interest in the footy.... Lets see if I can find some music on Youtube. ...back in a minute. Ah yes, love Gabriel and at his peak on this tour...just love the sound of his voice and what about the band. They look like they are having so much fun...it's infectious.

...and maybe they could do an interview for 7 sport about the tennis to finish it off.

Fishing , Tennis, Surfing & Gold... I don't see going to a party or doing an interview on the list.

One things for sure. If Goodwin goes we won't be able to chance another rookie coach like Yze. Brad Scott, Ross Lyon, make a play for Chris Scott or even Clarkson.

I hope you're right but all I've seen so far points to another Frost...

Smith is even worse in the forward half. Has no idea...

'Dazz', if we don't want to play 3 talls then T Mac should be the one to go. He needs an absolute rocket. ...but it may not work, that good season forward equates to his good season back. We've never seen it again. I hope we do, we need it.

Why? He proved yet again he is a poor decision maker & not up to the hype. It seems his only role is to try and take the mark of this century to keep it in the family. Frost II.

Apart from the barrel, hasn't wasted a possession...
