In contention : Watts......lucky him. But Grimes is a walk up start. Amazing.....

Hutchy - Minson was one of the senior players involved in the review of McCartney.Pickers - Are you asking me? Hutchy - Well you're the only other bloke in the box.

Wasnt aware that was the format for next week. Interesting to see if the coaches share the thoughts of many on here as to who should be left out.

A suggestion for next week, many might not agree. Players like Howe and Vince are still injured and first year players are being overlooked. So we find ourselves taking hacks into games to make up the numbers. Why not next week stuff the extended bench and multiple subs and simply play 22 players against the Bombers 2nd's.

Says the video of the club website.

Exactly, anyone ever seen a Wayne Bennett press conference? When his teams won convincingly he would still manage to find numerous faults but when they lost or had a unconvincing win he would praise them.

would you like to revisit your comments from before the game??

And it gets worse

Hutchy is an idiot but I think he works well with Pickers. Their Saturday morning show with Dr Turf is quite funny.

Exactly, as Tmac alluded to, "we don't have the luxury of taking these games lightly"We need momentum, 8 day break since travelling west, no excuses anymore.

Sorry I will rephrase it for you. I don't care how Grimes plays as long as he speaks well.

So they've come out and said they are treating today's game as if it was round 1. If certain players consistenly produce simple errors against an undermanned Bulldogs side they need to have their papers stamped.

Id say Hawthorn is.

Fair enough, it could honestly go either way but at least it would seem we have given ourselves a better chance by the structures we have in place.

My only concern is that this year we are paying 100% of the cap for the first times in years. I would hope this is due to the recent signings of H and Garlett but more so we are front loading Jones deal. We have just witnessed what Cameron and Boyd commanded abc can expect Hogan will be there abouts assuming he stays on the park.

Please elaborate RJay.

Time for big game from Dawes.

Nice....on the laptop up here in Sydney.

Definitely had his moments. I think we were all naive as to how bad the club was in all areas. Again another life cut way too short.

Agree but I think it's funnier that once we know a player is out the door, the said player was never any good anyway.

After the week I'm having I needed that.

No doubt, and they can all sit out until its all sorted out.

Sign up Hogan for another 4 years and I will be happy.

I will be the first to admit I'm critical of a couple of players but in fairness they have been in the system for years. Would like to see Salem off half back for the next two games. Let him grow into the position. As we know he can play and was used as the sub a lot last year.

Leadership group doesn't always = abilty.I know he tries, but is it enough to keep his spot. He can't cut it pre season but he'll suddenly find form for round 1. He needs to dropped and reprove himself.
