Who would you drop for Cotch?

Can go the Castagna route with Baker pushing forward. I think it’s either him or straight swap for Ross sadly. Baker can’t be dropped on last night’s performance.
 
Credit to Balmy for being a step ahead. Saw our depth was nothing more than list cloggers who would hold back the kids with actual talent. When injuries struck and there was panic he was sipping a cup of tea.

Whatever we’re paying the bloke still probably isn’t enough.
Money is not important to him, as long as we keep feeding him he’s happy and by the size he’s become, he’s very happy. So we’re ok as long as the food holds up.
 
every cloud has a silver lining, without our injuries stack, bolton and balta wouldn't have received as many games. as our stars are getting older, I worried about where our next stars would come from. I know it is too early to call, but I can't remember a time when we had 3 new player with so much raw talent. stack and bolton were great in the middle part of the game and the last quarter from balta was raw, but where in the league is there a 2nd ruck with that speed and ability on his left or right foot. if they keep going, its going to quite a ride for us supporters going forward.

Probably wont have to worry about until the doggies game. On form alone its tough - comes down to match ups and we gotten beaten pretty well in stoppage clearance. Might have to be Baker.

Up it to 2 packets of Monte carlos per day.
 
I would have thought it came under the "your both wrestling" play on category
Came under you're wearing the Richmond jumper and he's got you in a headlock better pay a free kick against category
 
Jumped in the car after the train ride home and heard the tanned on discussing this on the radio saying that the umpire might have been on the opposite side to what the camera was and couldn't see the Buddy contact. Well if you were to show the full version of this, the umpire who paid the free is basically right in front of them looking at exactly what we're looking at.

It was a disgraceful decision and could have made the difference if they were any closer. Reckon this was the one that Dimma should have mentioned in the presser, just to completely highlight the unmitigated disaster that the umpires have become.
He did in an offhand way, said he saw what 40000 at the ground saw

Speaking of Collingwood fans and their hatred for Lynch.
Met one at MSAC watching the Dees game, brief discussion, etc, kept it amiable.
Left his mobile phone behind, I called out.
No thanks, nothing.
They are mentally slow clods.
Animals.
 
I think with Melbournes dual Ruck combo keeping Balta in is an absolute must.

This. Gawn tears us a new one every game because he runs Nank off his feet. We need support. And we cannot play Jack or Lynch in there. Too risky.
 
That's what I saw. Over the first few weeks he wasn't alone with this trait. But we were the far better team last night with pretty much every other player on the field being clean and sharp, he continued to be fumbly and scared.
I don't like having him and Ellis in the same team. They're actually pretty similar with their negative attributes.
I know Graham was incredibly poor against GWS but I wouldn't mind him coming in for Higgins this week. We need the midfield depth against Melbourne and we don't lose any pace with that selection.
Wouldn't say he's scared but i think he's abit over hyped on here.Where he went in the draft was about right.
Great tank,Has football smarts but lacks in other areas.
 
Like I said must have been watching a different game. Higgins to me played the type of game we've been dying to see Graham play. Accountable defensively but getting hands on the footy and being part of the offensive side of the game. Last night Higgins ranked top 5 for disposals tackles and pressure acts and as I said played a solid midfielders game. There is no way he gets dropped
Disagree.He's been off for the past 3 weeks.
Confidence down perhaps?

No, he is a young player that will be inconsistent.

Ross, Stack and Balta will have down periods as well. It’s part of being a developing player.

Jason Castagna was very good I thought. Has improved each week.

Jack will come in with a player being "managed". I reckon it'll be Ross, Stack, maybe even Lynch to be honest. Guys who might need a week to recuperate.
 
Just watched it. A very good game by our boys. Lynch didn't hit the scoreboard but was a good target. So it was good to see another dimension to his game. Competed well all night. The backline was solid, Astbury, Broad getting a bit of it while doing a good job on Buddy. No.4 goes alright too. Nicely freshened up. Pressure was intense early ~ all the small fwds were great, Houli got involved late in the game. The newbies were all good. Ross, SS again & Balta did some nice things. Still small TOG. If someone has to come out for JR, then you'd look at Balta or Bolton. Edit: Dees have Gawn & Preuss so Balts stays this week.

This will no doubt be unpopular, but wait, hear me out.
I'd give Lynch a rest this Wednesday and bring Jack R in.
One tall and Balta as a floater seems to be working well for us at the moment.
I reckon Tom could do with a rest being such a short turnaround.
I reckon Stack might be out. He would have pulled up sore after that hit.
 
Had some woman turn around last night in the last quarter and go my son came here as a tigers supporter and now he supports sydney because of the way you shout at the game?????
And im like excuse me, sorry i support me team with passion?
Not like i was doing anything wrong like swearing or carrying on lol.
Was strange as, everyone around me had a laugh.
Gee there are some marshmallows in this day and age
 
Oh someone bright and chirpy at 3:50am. Noice.

I bring in Medadue for George because I can juggle a team around. It may be hard for you to struggle to understand the concept. I'll give you a day to wrap your mind around that absolute brain bending idea.
So you have NFI !!

You mention i struggle to understand the concept , But where is the concept you talking about ?

I have had half a day to think about it and have come to the conclusion with a good nights sleep that you dont have a **** Clue
