JV doesn't isn't doing much. He gets to the ball often enough but doesn't do a lot with it when he does.He's a scrapper, no doubt but I don't know that he has much impact on proceedings.

What does he bring to this team? Is he carrying the foot injury? Can he be a more productive contributor?  Happy to hear what you all have to say.

Some odd calls on this one..

Obviously Fritsch forward, but if Frosty goes to the wing maybe put Preuss on a half back flank.Only gagging.

After all, at this stage we are only hoping for a draft pick.

Better still - recruit a Lynch or Kennedy type forward.  Repeat Repeat Repeat.

Good for you RGRS!  Have a great day and have the kids fly the flag.

i just saw it as a hard fought, plucky  and gutsy win.

Carlton were unable to effect the coup de grace when we were down for the 8 count and that goal by Hunt was delicious

in the context of our inaccuracy in front of goal for much of the day.

Brayshaw was completely cooked and unable to chase the blues defender off the goal line.

Perhaps as an inside mid he'd still have some relevance but essentially he's due for a rest, maybe due to be turned out to pasture.

This can be done with gracet so that he develops a niggling injury, has family issues, needs time away from the game - there are any number of ways to ease him into retirement.   And that is where he is headed.

I agree with the poster who recognised that he wasn't taken away from the co-captaincy role because Viney is an iffy proposition and the captaincy can't be handed over to him as a stand-alone man so it is a dilemma and to resolve it may well require a vice captain to step up. But if it's Tommy Mac then we have another guy under an injury cloud. There must be a solution and I'm sure it will be found.

I think the original joke was, in Parliament a Cabinet Minister stood and said " I am a country member" and a voice from the opposition benches yelled out " yes we remember".

We used to say this about Doug Anthony if anyone remembers.

Yes! Let's grab Andrew Brayshaw and Zac Jones as well.
