But in saying that, I've like Newnes from day 1. Was a gun junior before an injury, was well liked by many clubs in the draft. When composed and allowed to play his natural game, he's a solid B grade player.

I think injuries and being played out of position have really cruelled his image in supporter's eyes. He'll never have the flash of Gresham, but could easily be the Jason Gram of our side, if we had the cream on top.

Well I’m not looking forward to this one. Can’t imagine a close game or even a loss below 50 points.

I wonder if the coaches will try to smother the contest and contain the damage they will do at the stoppages. Maybe an extra body in midfield?

Damage control as opposed to going for a win.

I’d be disappointed if we didn’t at least go for the win.

If Richardson wasn’t worried about a massive loss and what that would mean for his job I’d be very surprised.

 

[Pardon me]

He needs wins to trigger his clause - not mitigating the damage into honorable losses. He'd be a fool to approach any game with any other mindset than to win it.

Richo will just surround the ball in attempt to stifle the game beyond recognition... meanwhile Geelong will have 1 or 2 runners on the outside who will whisk the ball forward uncontested.

Would love to see Lonie, Gresham and hind playing as outside mids at stoppages, giving us a some pacy creative options going forward.

We're not going to win with a lock down approach.

Yes I think we will stifle the game. Or try to anyway. It’s hard to see it working against Geelong.

I think we did that in the same match last year and it didn’t work. We were outnumbered forward of the footy and it just came straight back.

Was at Lorne on Saturday watching local footy hosing VBs down for what it’s worth

My interest in the season (and pretty common theme over the past few years) is probably best summed up by this Bob Dylan line:

And when finally the bottom fell out
I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was keep on keeping on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue

“How many games must a coach badly lose,
Before you call him an ex-coach?”

Need some mayo with that

We've already got him.

Initially I thought Marsh but given the Hawkins match-up, yeah Brown may edge him out.

Lonie will come in - Parker, Sinclair? Not sure, Parker offers less flexibility IMO so I'd be OK with that. Long will stay in.

Dmac has been poor no doubt, scary that he is having little impact in the tackle department. White is the obvious replacement but not sure the coaches have a lot of faith.

 

[Mowman]

Will not play 50 games for us
