spirit of norm smith

agree MRP is a joke LeCras deserves min 1 wk

So glad when Saints chose McCartin rather than Petracca. Dees were elated. Petracca has only played one season after his knee injury so he is only a rookie really. Huge upside. Hopefully he is trained to attack when it presents (like his goal in the 4th v Dockers).

After todays game ... 1..Hogan IN Weideman OUT 2. Hibberd IN Hannan OUT Small forwards ok with Garlett Kent Petracca Anb. Hibberd strengthens defence. Melksham should play wing/half bk. He has played too deep in defence which is not his position. He was brought in for pace and midfield burst. Brayshaw/Kennedy/Trengove on the cusp. jetta t.mcd HIBBERD salem frost hunt stretch viney vince kent watts petracca garlett HOGAN anb Spencer Tyson Jones Oliver bugg harmes melksham emerg. trengove t.smith kennedy

Yes agree 1..Hogan IN Weideman OUT 2. Hibberd (if fit) IN Melksham OUT 3. Either Brayshaw/Kennedy IN Hannan OUT jetta t.mcd hibberd/melksham salem frost hunt stretch viney vince kent watts petracca garlett HOGAN anb Spencer Tyson Jones Oliver bugg harmes brayshaw/kennedy emerg. trengove t.smith brayshaw/Kennedy

6 Watts 5 Hunt 4 Garlett 3 Spencer 2 Petracca 1 Oliver

hibberd gets the back flank and vince moves forward. agree we lost it today with poor defensive transition in the end.

been paying players over $$ for the past 4-5 years to stay competitive. AFL should try to supplement if possible or they will struggle either off or on field

at full strength, Dees win. Minus Hogan Lewis & Gawn, its 50/50 even at the G.

lamumba x trengove x trade to crows for pick 117 garland x pedersen x vandenburg x to the rookie list m.white (r) x 4 open spots reflects strength picks 11, 29, 47 plus a Trade/free agent pickup.

updated... predictions only

Gawn backup Spencer backup Frost in an emergency then we are fu#/#÷$d

this loss particularly hurts because we did the hard yards yet everything went against us. lots of positives jayden hunt is a star Jonesy is a star oliver is going to be a-grade watts has a bigger heart than many demonlanders know billy stretch is developing nicely we lost because 1. our inaccurate kicking 2. cats accurate kicking 3. last 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter and first 7 minutes of the last. 4. maxy gawn getting injured 5. umpires still puzzling me 6. we are still developing and learning through how to win 7. missing Lewis and Hogan hurt us anb's backwards kick was a shocker but he will learn (hopefully)

Dockers beat Dogs by 16 points. Dubdee start eating humble pie. Apology accepted.

Hitting players in the head behind the play is stupid. Full stop.

correct jetta t.mcd melksham salem o.mcd vince stretch viney hunt petracca watts kent garlett Pedersen smith spencer tyson jones oliver anb bugg kennedy missing 5 from best 22. hogan lewis (suspensions) gawn (injury) hibberd (injury) brayshaw (form) smith bugg spencer kennedy anb are the infills

watching tonights game vs Dogs!!

Freo are good and will be hard to beat without big Max G.

agree... THEIR ABSOLUTE STUDITY and absence COST US TODAY

On the injury list, only Hibberd would be in my best 22. Joel Smith was so unlucky as he showed ability at the highest level. Hogan & Lewis obviously suspended.

Tim Smith. A great footy story. Good luck to him on his debut.

Bugg and pick 11 to Carltank Gibbs to the murder of Crows Lever to Dees

ins. Spencer Vince outs. Hogan Lewis (jim carrey and jeff daniels)

agree. Carlton worked out a semi flood inside our 50-70 zone and we had no idea. Our players turnovers were shocking and over possession was deplorable. Against any better opposition, we'd get smashed. Need to get back to run run run and handball / kick to advantage.
