I still think we will get over the line a few calming words from roost at the break will help

Need a steadier to knock the wind out of their sails need to be at least 3 goals up at 3/4 time time to unleash Salem

If nate Jones lifts we win by 60

Shows just how even the afl really is

Watts ok?

Must be very heartening for blokes like Dunn and nathan Jones who have been round a while to see the wheel is starting to turn

Just checked the scores ! What's happening we just on or what?

Glad Salem is sub, he was impressive last week but easing young blokes in Is very important

I reckon watts is a half forward flanker he is a good enough forward his opponent has to respect him and his kicking into the 5o is an asset.

I see Salem and Tyson as 250 game players with as much potential as Kelly it was two for one, even if Kelly is the best of the three all three are going to be A grade players and we got two of them and it cost us one

Reckon there is a bit of Simon Goodwin or Scotty west about him, great find

If we make it a scrap we are every chance

Peter Wright, McCartin and Durdin will be the top 3 i reckon

we could easily be 3-1 and have the Crows, Swans, Suns and Dogs as our next 4 games and i reckon we could win all 4, i still think we need at least another good trade and draft period

reckon he comes in for Terlich?

I tipped Brisbane to do it for brown, North to belt the pies, Freo to make finals a very big ask for the Swans, Port to continue to impress, Essendon to belt the saints, Us to sneak over the line in a tight one, Doggies by 60, and the Hawks to flex against the Cats

Gold Coast are similar to Carlton and us in that they haven't been fantastic in terms of scoring power, if we make it a tough contest it will be close, they also had 22 marks inside 50 against them last week, if that happens again Dawes, Frawley and Dunn will get the job done for us.

If you watched the nationals you would have noticed how good Whitfield looked though, he was right to be pick 1. Menzel was hands down the best player when fit. I rated the players in order Whitfield Grundy Menzel Plowman Toumpas Viney Wines Plowman O'Rourke

perhaps another side merging with a struggling Brisbane Lions and creating another expansion club could be on the cards, it's not going to stop at 18

That's a good point, they probably have 10 players that would have any appeal at all to GWS, maybe a huge some of money would have convinced them I reckon Carlton would have offered something like Yarren and Robinson or Robinson and Mclean which would have been scoffed at.

Carlton should have had the courage to offer a deal that wouldn't have been laughed at, not going anywhere without a key forward imo

The kids seriously bright, it's a huge asset

add abit of penetration and a touch of Zip to Trengove and he will be flying again, this is a very good thing.

He applied and was short listed for the adelaide job when Sanderson got it, so in that case he was third in line as Neeld was the one they wanted.

I understand your point but different situation, they have no key forward targets going forwards, totally lacking in key position players, we have a pretty strong spine so our recruiting has been much better in that sense and we don't need to take drastic steps to give our side structure, Carlton won't win a premiership without at least 1 key forward
