Run and ball use from defence really worries me. Hasn't been addressed again. It's actually slightly taller :oops: Love HOK in side Moir out (which I agree) but Fogarty in makes our foward line look a bit meh If we weren't playing Richmond I would be very concerned. And I am still worried -

I like the names we have brought in but doesn't address our run at all Still way too tall and slow -

Why do people keep saying we can't play the "kids" like we will be selecting an Under 18s squad? Most here are talking about Boyd Carroll Derksen Cowan Flynn HOK as options (not kids) and when you add to Cripps Hewett Weitering McKay Hayward Ainsworth Williams etc it's not a young side I think... -

Not one game for me and the way we collapsed was very concerning. This is 3-4 years of same stuff and same problems (having followed 25 years of same stuff and same problems) When your 4 goals up in third quarter and lose by 60 I believe people have a right to be concerned and frustrated -

Wasn't that we lost. It was the way we lost and the same old problems that continually arise As for under developed kids v better options. I disagree with the "better options" part -

Been no debutant announcements? Safe to assume Derksen or Byrne aren't playing then -

Yet Jagga and Dean is okay? Flynn Young is 24 Derksen is 24 When do you play them? -

Wasn't original question (you said we would destroy them) but here you are. HOK, Byrne, Ben C, Flynn, Ison, Derksen, Wilson (before inj) Certainly no worse than who we have been playing and need to be given opportunities. I'd argue most have better pre seasons than many selected and at least we... -

What "Bunch" of kids? People are calling for Boyd Carroll Cowan Derksen, maybe HOK or Byrne. Not exactly a bunch of 18 year olds. Then look at our side still. Not exactly youthful and Tigers will still be younger -

I thought we really botched it at selection and keeping the same side for "cohesion" is wrong. We have been doing this for 3 years. Cohesion is important but you need to get the side right first JMO -

I'd rather pick the right side first and then worry about cohesion. I don't want a cohesive failure going nowhere -

Normally agree but major mistakes were made with Rd 0 selections. Do we now just not fix them for cohesion? Although I would be surprised if Voss makes more than 2-3
