Payne dropped. Right call I think. Couldn’t get another game after last weeks effort.
Yes I wrote earlier in the week that the personnel should be largely irrelevant on Sunday... It will come down to attitude.Looks like we're holding a short leash this season on bad performances. Normally Payne would've been backed in to get it right this week. I hope the same standard gets applied for everyone - will be interesting to see how it gets measured over the season for all players.
Wonder how shifting Gardiner back will impact our forward setup. Especially given we didn’t bring in any forwards.
Might be as simple as Lohmann starting the game. Should just lock him in the forward 50 and try and make the game as simple as possible for him
Same forward set up as the bulk of last year with Rayner as the third tall/hybrid forward?Wonder how shifting Gardiner back will impact our forward setup. Especially given we didn’t bring in any forwards.

Who's sub then if Lohmann plays ?
Who's sub then if Lohmann plays ?
Yes . He's probably more versatile than Kai as well re whoever we feel the need to sub off.Pretty safe bet it would be Answerth I think. Unless Dev is underdone. Think Answerth is well suited. He’ll throw himself at everything after coming on
Coaches love the media when they are blowing smoke up them or their team and they hate them when they are being called out on poor performances. If Fagan was coaching a Victorian team, the acid would be well and truly on him. If the journalists wanted to they could have gone a lot harder. Fagan just comes across as a grumpy old man when he carries on like he did today.He doesn't have a lot of respect for the media which IMO is fair enough
About time. Finally Fagan makes a serious accountability call on selection. Keep it up Fages and I might become a fan.Payne dropped. Right call I think. Couldn’t get another game after last weeks effort.
I think it was all a bit of an act myself. Very next question he was cracking a smile.Coaches love the media when they are blowing smoke up them or their team and they hate them when they are being called out on poor performances.

Pretty high standards you have there 3KZ, the game before last Friday night was an under a goal Grand Final loss... the first 1/4 and a bit last week was from a few on here deemed just about the best footy the team has played in the Fagan era... followed by albeit 25 minutes of atrocious footy... after that the contest was even.Coaches love the media when they are blowing smoke up them or their team and they hate them when they are being called out on poor performances.

That would be better but they also may try and increase his CBA's so that won't help.Same forward set up as the bulk of last year with Rayner as the third tall/hybrid forward?
Honestly, from those internally in clubs they don't like the media but they're just as adept at using the media for their own purposes as well.Coaches love the media when they are blowing smoke up them or their team and they hate them when they are being called out on poor performances.

I wondered that but it was a gritted teeth smile and his voice was wavering a little.I think it was all a bit of an act myself. Very next question he was cracking a smile.
It won’t; double standards have applied to team selection for the past eight years.Looks like we're holding a short leash this season on bad performances. Normally Payne would've been backed in to get it right this week. I hope the same standard gets applied for everyone - will be interesting to see how it gets measured over the season for all players.
I think we saw it coming Marty.I guess that puts to bed any idea that Jack was carrying something. And in that case right call.
How am I wrong Nathan?It won’t; double standards have applied to team selection for the past eight years.
