Harry Petty. Incredibly young player.

Jake Lever needs to stand up if we are going to win this.

Spargo owes us a couple

Spargo has just had the worst 90 seconds of his career and cost the team 2 goals.

Brown playing on Young and not taking a mark is a huge worry, he's got him for height, weight, leap and experience, and he's just had a couple of weeks off. there really isn't much excuse for him

2 carlton supporting morons sitting next to me keep asking, "where are all your supporters?" and one even just made a joke about the Snow I was like "Mate, you realise your season is hanging by a thread here right?"

Every time Saad gets the ball, we need to absolutely smash him, even if it means a free or two. he's so soft and it really seems to rattle him

100% bank the cash and make a huge play for one of these Blues boys

Voss confirms they're going to tag one of our mids.

Yep. Scared of Kozzie pickett.

It's not, in my opinion. I just think we're not being as bold with ball in hand, or as aggressive in trying to win it back. the way i see it all of our problems in 2022 are between the ears, which is why i hold confidence we can win the flag even if we miss top 4

Time is now dees, Blues missing all their midfield depth. Foot on the throat and remind the competition we're still a force in 2022

Playing for Carlton will do that to ya

Sounds like Yze is the preferred candidate for the Giants if as expected Clarko joins Norf

Brodie Kemp from the Blues is someone i'd be having a look at. was potentially a super high pick in his draft year with some serious qualities as a player, but an ACL pre-draft caused him to slide. I think he's someone we could bring in and hope to get the best out of, his upside is enormous and doesn't seem to be able to get a consistent look at the Blues

My gut feel is the coaches really want to settle the team down and minimize changes, trusting that the pre-finals bye and modified training will be enough to get guys up and going for finals. I don't think you want to be making too many unforced changes at this time of year

It'll be very interesting to see how aggressive we are at the trade table and how much we simply just back in what we have and add to the core

If he doesn't i say we trade him to Freo

Baily Laurie debut if Koz doesn't get up?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to him trying to drag an opponent deep and out of the way, but i agree, having Ben Brown as the deepest forward player makes a lot of sense

Melkshams kicking is a huge part of why he's in the side. the Club identified the need for higher efficiency going inside 50 and Melksham is elite in that space. he's also a surprisingly good 1v1 player and very smart, he generally goes to a good player and keeps them fairly accountable. He's in the team for the rest of the year in my opinion, i think our efficiency in terms of creating opportunities has spiked since he's come in

Me too. i reckon we need to really think about using Harmes in the tagging role for the rest of the year. the interesting thing is when he's tagging his output generally is very very similar to when he's not, so why not shut out a good player?

A bit i'd say, but yes if he's gettable i reckon we'd be very keen

Captains run mate, really just stretching their legs.

Demonland petition, obviously we're relying on breathtaking incompetence from the Kangaroos list management, but given they all quit i think we might be alright
