Taken 7 marks in 2 games, not sure how many were contested.

Lurking around the fringes.

watch it again and just watch the no.4

Who is Chris Dawes. Chris Dawes for 500.

Apparently should of been dropped.

When Roos was employed to coach the club, many people (myself included) asked the question what's the ratio of coaching, gameplan as opposed to building a culture. So far under Roos we've had two really good trade/draft periods. Roos said himself last year the focus was on defence. This year we put some attacking structures in place, we can do this now that our defense has improved out of sight and that we now have multiple attacking options. With regards to building a culture we have come to play every week, not because we lost the week before or its a milestone game or someone has passed. North and Richmond strike me as teams that play for an occasion as opposed to playing every week and the bubble normally bursts about qtr time.

We're playing a team that finished 11th last year. Dangerfield is a star, Sloane is a bloody good player but he's not a star. They too have some very young players and some veterans. Need Jamar to try and break even with Jacobs. Every player plays their role. Can't afford for the midfield to nod off. Believe in the game plan. Back each other in. This is a winnable game. Sick of this defeatus crap.

If we don't switch off like we did last week there's no reason why we can't take it up to them.

In breaking news the team flew back last night because apparently we're no chance.

Where's all this depth gone...... We need a ruckman, another key forward(even if we draft one) and still more mids.

Someone mentioned before the season started to play him out of the square with Garlett sniffing around his feed, Watts on a flank and Hogan at CHF. Couldn't hurt to try. I don't think his kicking is the issue its getting his hands on the ball, if he's not marking it he's getting beaten at ground level, not through lack of effort though.

Try again.....ok, the modern game requires players to be verstile. Fwd's that can go into the ruck, mids can go fwd or to a back flank, kpd need to be able to play on tall/medium fwd's. Dawes is ineffective in the ruck. As a fwd he's not taking marks or kicking goals. As a defender I've no doubt he could stand and wrestle with Cloke but how would he go against Buddy, Jack or Nick Riowoldt, Pav, Roughy, Petrie? As for crashing packs as a defender I have visions of him being late to the contest, unable to punch the ball away resulting in giving away free kicks. His role is a fwd, he can play as we all know, but he is out of form big time. If he has a shocker this week he should be dropped and we swing Howe fwd. As we strive to become better no one should be exempt from being dropped.

Is he quick enough? Not every contest a pack forms.

The modern defender does more than just punch the ball. At times some KP defenders will back themselves to mark the ball and then send the ball back into attack by either kicking it, offloading to someone running by or even taking a bounce and going for a run.

Is being a presence on the ground enough? Would of been handy to have when Watts made his debut. Watts has now grown into his body and Hogan can handle himself. Yes he presents/makes a contest/applied pressure but needs to start taking some marks and converting.

Id go the other way but can't see Dawes or Frost getting dropped.

I thought we'd all moved on from McKenzie.

eg Ryder?? Not sure how you can draw a comparison between Dawes and Ryder besides playing the same position.

Sick of the term BB. He's on massive coin and currently giving us donuts. If he doesn't perform this week he can join Grimes in the VFL and prove why he's worthy of a game.

No that's it any of my business but I would love to know the breakdown of our cap. Hoping Jones and H are front loaded and Dawes retirement fund is nearing an end. Can see Freo getting Rance then targeting Hogan next year.

Good point, many people were talking up our depth during January/Feb but the reality is there isn't any. Not counting first year players learning their craft in the VFL we have possibly 2 players who didn't play against GWS who are up to AFL standard.

So your tips are based on who the bookies have as favourites??Tips on betting on Multis. 1 - only bet what you can forward to lose 2 - don't bet on all nine games, after about around 4/5 the competition even is it self out. Each week there about 5 to 6 games which have clear favourites and they normally get up then there are 2 to 3 games which could go either way, pick the two games out of the three which have the better odds and back them both ways. In essence you are placing four bets, you can start off nice and simple with 4 x $5 bets.

Odds mean jack. What odds were the Saints and Bombers paying last week? Close $11-$12 combined.

Anyone making the trip with Special Robert?

As we strive to become better we need to play the best, not hope we come up against a team full of injuries and suspensions.
