Straight Sets Simon

I love vandenFyfe but he's cooked. Very happy we have Bennell but would be shocked if he doesn't get injured. Rivers is a big tick. Jackson will be interesting, with Preuss injured I hope he plays that second ruck role.

Get used to more inconsistent umpiring from one end of the ground to the other.

An injury-prone potential superstar? We’ve only had about two dozen.

I needed a laugh, thanks.

At least we weren’t the only team to butcher top 10 picks. Recruiters had a ‘mare in this draft seeing as most talent came with late picks.

So in 2019 we lost confidence after making the prelim in 2018? It’s about structure, the list but mostly the coaching and game plan.

The forwards rarely lead out to the midfield, or if they do they do so too early so they are trying to mark the ball 50 metres from goal instead of 30. That’s the issue.

It’s not.

We have a plethora of defenders. We have very few forwards. Smith is a better forward than defender. We are playing Smith as a defender. We never learn.

Spot on.

For set shots he’s one of our worst.

What ever happened with that riddle?

I'd be shocked if Spargo ever plays again, barring us having a huge injury list.

I totally forgot about Rivers. Get him in the team.

Clint Bizzell, Shane Valenti, Phil Read and Bayley Fritsch in the forward line.

Goodwin tries to get too cute. Instead of addressing the most obvious issues he tries to be clever with these kinds of moves and changes.

Very good player but his body is shot.

Longer season means each game has less meaning and importance. The cost of hosting games at big grounds like the MCG is huge, so no point struggling to get 20,000 people to lots of games. We are far better off having a shorter season where every game means more and trying to get more people to those games.

I implore everyone if they have the means to go and buy some merchandise from the club's website (not from other retailers). Every little bit helps in these times.

A big no. All it does it devalue existing sponsors and makes the selling of replicas far less attractive. Short-sighted and stupid, therefore the AFL will love it.

Goodwin won't be sacked, he just may not get another contract.

Huge if true. I also hear there may be a new highly contagious respiratory virus coming out of China, it's early days but let's just wait a few more months to see what it is before doing anything about it.

Still can’t believe we got pick 9 for him from Carlton then wasted it on Gysberts. The silver lining was we ended up with Pedersen but what a waste of a draft pick.

Really not excited by this, mainly because we will struggle to win games.

Kozzy is a gem, we are so lucky to have him. Good to see Brayshaw slowly going mad with his onions.
