[heatleystandend]

The outcry around Boyd continues to be amazing. He is a below average AFL player. Looks lost constantly at AFL level.

And Wilson looked off the pace last week both fitness wise and feel for the game. Nothing wrong with him getting a taste and going back to work on his game. He will get more chances.

Yes, can argue that players like Fogarty and doc are very fortunate but the outs make sense if you are dispassionate about it.

It’s a weak team and there is a reason why we are where we are on the ladder.

 

[Soapy V]

Butters absolutely annihilated him last week

Very hard to tag when the rest of the side is being thrashed

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I will say this though….i don’t care if Evan’s has 50 and kicks 8 in the 2’s, he should never be in the senior side.

 

[entitled supporters]

Lots of people on about sack players,coaches,board,recruiters but I tell you that match committee has to be the most conservative of any of the clubs.No iniative, inavasion just bad boring selections.Does anyone no who is on the match committee

Was probably our best player in the 2023 PF after returning from a long layoff. Played almost every game in 2024. Has played three games this season (two as sub) and now he looks "lost" at AFL level?

 

[Mondyboy]

I don’t like the selections, but I still want the boys to win. I would love it if Pitto beat Cameron and Acres had a blinder and Doch handballed to people’s chests and Crippa found his Brownlow form and Charlie snagged a handful.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Cinc’s hip is cooked, can’t get out of 2nd gear. Wilson had full body cramps during the 3rd quarter hasn’t got the match fitness.

Don’t get in the way of a good melt!

Some epic examples to enjoy tonight .

 

[Opium]

Surprised there isn't a role for Cincotta. Has got speed as well

The entire coaching group has lost the plot. Why would they drop Wilson? Play the the bloody kids for goodness sake. Senior players are untouchable. No wonder there's rumours of a division between senior and younger players.

 

[Osc1]

Surely no logical reason why some players are omitted. Sakc Voss !!

It's TOXIC!!

 

[CCurnow3picks]

Q - How long does it take to get from Carlton to Melton?

A - 30 years.

4 kids picked and you focus on the one dropped that couldn’t play out the game FFS.

 

[Soapy V]

personal over logic

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Plenty of supporters would be rethinking their decision to attend. I can’t see more than 80 to 85,000 going

70K guess

 

[HBF]

This will get ugly very fast.
I didn't watch Port game and won't be watching tomorrow night. Can't see us winning another game this year.

Bring on the Ashes!

 

[JJBagger]

I will say this though….i don’t care if Evan’s has 50 and kicks 8 in the 2’s, he should never be in the senior side.

So don’t reward vfl form? Hasn’t that been our fanbases war cry the last couple of months?

 

[Graffy4242]

They dropped a first gamer. They didn’t need to. Cowan could have come in for Saad. They didn’t need to drop Boyd either.

Exactly.

 

[Osc1]

So don’t reward vfl form? Hasn’t that been our fanbases war cry the last couple of months?

Only when it suits mate.

 

[lilJeffyG]

We have no cohesion when we make 1-2 changes. This is gonna be fun with 6 changes.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Cincotta and Boyd dropped, I’m not understanding…
Wilson one game and dropped, classic match committee formula…
Good luck to the kids coming in…

 

[JJBagger]

Only when it suits mate.

Anger for anger’s sake

 

[JK61]

Or he's struggling by himself

He is struggling. No match for Xerri and last week had no impact against 2 B/C graders - he needs help

 

[Opium]

Surely we aren't that stupid

This coach is no good. I'm telling you. He's so stubborn he doesn't care if he gets sacked.

 

[Lukeblueboy]

sigh!
Dropping Boyd?? Why!!
Imo, we need to leave his type in the team! And actually use his run and dare!
Same as cow and Carrol.
Let em play there natural game please vossy! Release them.
Time to stop locking this team down and let them play ffs

 

[YeoShuey]

So Voss sees Boyd's performance from last week and thought "omit".
