Not a shambles as such but yes we only have 2 forwards that an opposition would be concerned with... A list management shambles maybe.

Poor coaching by Voss tonight. Let Longmire play the game on his terms. Heeney played Cripps out of the game. Would have been smart to move Cripps forward.

He actually got it caught under another player. It wasn't a simple roll. Could be a Lisfranc???

I've always found Southwark to be undrinkable...

They're really not either... Their start was a false economy as is their current form. They've beaten bottom or banged up teams. They sit somewhere around 9 to 12...anything lower is a bonus for us.

$14...I haven't been to a game since before covid. I'm not in a hurry if this is what's going on.

The inconsistencies are a real issue and I'm not sure what the ultimate game from the AFL is... I guess at some stage the game may be come a non contact sport. Hunter alluded to this the other night with his comment about giving clear path to Rozzeeeee. Will it be a good enough spectacle and keep drawing the support of fans? It's going to be an interesting watch. I'm not sure the AFL have the right people (brain power) in place to sort out the mess the game has become. They look at the crowd figures and give themselves another bonus. By the time Tassie get into the competition it will be a very different game if they keep pushing it this way. If the rusted on supporters (us that are taken for granted) are finding it a hard watch then there is trouble brewing.

Of course he could...he chose not too. My belief is the Rozee put himself in danger. I think players are putting too much faith in duty of care and are create dangerous situations for themselves. In this case Rozee didn't need to keep on at the ball with his head down, he could have turned side on as Hunter did.

The way that they are looking at these reports is all wrong. Rozee and players that put themselves in danger like this need to do time to take responsibility for their actions. It was a stupid non football move...anyone that's played the game in the past would never have done this. He put his head down into an oncoming player. This is becoming more prevalent and we're going to see serious injury and it will be the AFL's fault for not stamping this out of the game. They have is a...up

Watch his Grand Final performance...their's your answer. He might have a baby face but he's certainly not a baby when it matters.

...and he was right.

No, and that's why it's up to Max to lift his game when he's confronted by these attacks. If the opposition know he's only gong to play better, they will lay offf. Unfortunately to date it's been the opposite. His performance has suffered.

It's not about retaliating it's about going harder at the next contest. There are players that you never try and get under their skin as they only play better. This is the leaning (Goody speak) Max needs. You're never too old to learn.

I'm not sure...Port have been targeting Max for a number of years now. They were prepared to give away a few free kicks because the tactic works. First & foremost Max needs to look after himself by taking the game on. He's a big boy. If he goes up another level then the tactic fails, but he didn't. His game was off which ensures he will get more of the same. As for the team, they need to up the pressure rating in these games then maybe flying the flag wouldn't be necessary. The opposition would be more concerned with getting a kick away & hitting a target.

Tommo...

I think this has been the the case this season & last...it's not an easy fix.

I think all teams struggle with pressure. We didn't bring our pressure game, they did.

...and I wish they would get rid of the Friday night Fox crew. I just turn off as soon as they come on. Sarah in, boys club out.

Line ball...

Not sure we're struggling but with you on Tommy...looks totally cooked. Let's hope looks are deceiving & he can turn back the clock.

Neither him or Tommy are playing well enough to be selected. I'm guessing the only reason Tommy is getting the gig ahead of BBB is because he can provide some cover in defence if needed.

Last year he was coming back from injury (which he didn't seem to have right), this year it has been illness. From memory he had a good base in preseason before the thyroid complaint, so topping up that base with a mini pre should see him right to go. Just gives us a lot more options including himself running through the middle.

I want to see Williams...

Eliza is already a weapon....if Mark Williams helps her kicking she will go to another level.
