I genuinely feel we'd be better off trying to lure a decent young half back, moving Salem into more of a mid/half back rotating position and then using Gus as trade bait to get someone who better compliments our side Unfortunately it's a ruthless business and Gus just isn't cutting it at the moment

I feel like he's a good inside mid in a team that doesn't need him for anything other than depth i think there is an opportunity for a win-win trade here if we could get something we need in return.

Brayshaws 2018 form is the only thing keeping him in the side at the moment. I'd much rather Alex Neal-Bullen. at least he has a crack. really think we missed Tom mcDonald today.

Ironic that a few minutes early Zac Bailey went about 7 moments too long in giving the ball back and it wasn't called.

2 things cost us this game Goalkicking/polish some of the worst/most bias umpiring i've ever seen.

We should make a formal complaint about the umpiring. this is so bad it's ruined the game.

Same story. creating some chances but lacking Polish.

Harris Andrews throws it and then Petracca gets holding the ball F me. call the AFL about this umpiring.

Need a spark. throw Bennell on the ball Don't let this play out goody.

Agreed Dazzle. this is about if we fight or if we roll over signs aren't; good so far

We have horrible system around stoppages, Brisbane are just walking it out of there.

I think there is a very good possibility Clarkson will leave the Hawks potentially at the end of this year, things are seemingly pretty hostile at the moment with Kennett being himself. I wouldn't rule out another team poaching him, one of the greatest coaches of all time, can't see him being willingly nudged into retirement. Would be very ballsy if the Dees made the move and pulled the trigger. i love the thought of what Clarko could do with this list

His role was to microwave the popcorn and sit back while Mark Neeld destroyed the club.

Probably throw a wrench at a fat bloke i am teaching to play dodgeball.

Tom Hawkins is a Free agent i believe and the Cats may look to go down the youth path, maybe he's someone we could look at? would certainly help accelerate the development of Weid and give Tommy some support.

Like the Jones inclusion simply because the more good kicks we have in the side the better off we are IMO starting to build a decent list of guys who can take on tough kicks and really open up the game

they're pretty much on the money. if Gawn and Jackson dominate as much as they should and we don't just bomb the ball long and high to Harris Andrews we're a big chance. pretty simple. Win it in the middle. Lower your eyes.

Probably do Tommy some good to get down into a scratch match and just clunk a few. i get the impression he's felt the pressure to be the spearhead and now he can kinda see he's not even a lock for the best 22 i feel like a return to his best form won't be too far away.

Tom Papley? would be hard to find a good deal for Sydney but he'd be more than handy.

I think harmes is the one, he's a very good stopper but has proven he's capable of hurting the other way. not sure what Neale is like as a defensive runner but the Freo boys aren't exactly known for that sort of thing. personally i would be tempted to tag Zorko because i think he's the one you can totally take out of the game and then back our midfield vs theirs especially given Max and Jacko should have a field day against Oscar Mcinerney

I'd be throwing every cent we have at Ben King. other than that Zac WIlliams would be a brilliant pick up and replacement for Hibberd Rory Laird but i feel the price would be a bit high. Zac Fisher at the Blues has pace and skill and seemingly on the outer. could be a budget pick up. I'd be having a good look at the Giants. feel a few could drop out there

I'd put Petracca on Neale and back him to do more damage. Neale won't be able to go with petracca in the air around the ground. love a good head to head

Seriously? the 23 year old who's already had a top 10 brownlow finish, All Australian, won 1 or 2 best and fairests? can't remember and some podium finishes to go with it he's going fine. the scary thing is, he and Petracca will both improve.

I'd guess Brayshaw does a soft tag on McCluggage, maybe they back others to come accross and support vs Raynor

I'm a little unsure about how to contain the Lions backline. Nev to Cameron seems the obvious one. the talls are easy enough to figure out. but not sure who plays on Raynor. feel like Hibberd won't be good enough one on one
