Annoying how the club just isn’t honest with the fans. Nothing mentioned until selection last week about Rowbottom. Then this week not mentioned in the injury report at all, and now not named again.

Just on Jordan, it doesn't look like he has been playing a negating role in previous weeks, which is surprising given how successful he has been. This week I would have him right back at it, on Bailey Dale. The injury report didn't mention Rowbottom, so the assumption would be that he is...

Sam has been a favourite of mine since he debuted. Best wishes in retirement.

Not trying to be negative, just more being a realist. If we don’t give up 5 goals to 1 in the first quarter (again), we don’t need to spend the extra tickets to get back into the game at that point. If we take our opportunities in the third quarter before the fatigue sets in, we blow the...

Poor kicking and poor starts and can’t win a close game. All important in finals, so how are we going to turn it around when it matters most.

Zac Bailey..shudder.. I'm preparing mentally for his annual 5 shots on goal, 20 plus disposals match

5 - Chad Warner 4 - Errol Gulden 3 - Tom Papley 2 - Brodie Grindy 1 - Logan Mcdonald YPOTY - Logan McDonald

Today’s results to Carlton and Essendon also means 3 wins in 6 games means we are guaranteed top spot. Achieve that, and then have a week off and go again.

I think today just proves the point that it was the right time to re introduce both Mills and Parker. Our next month is huge game after huge game. This gave them a taste. The good thing is: we have our 23 from today who can all play finals footy. Add Cunningham and Heeney and Wicks and there’s...

If we assume Heeney can't overturn the suspension, I would go in with this: Defenders: McCartin, Melican, Rampe, Blakey, Florent, Lloyd, Campbell Mids: Warner, Rowbottom, Mills, Gulden, McInerney, Parker, Adams Fwds: Amartey, McLean, McDonald, Wicks, Hayward, Papley, Jordan (Sheezel) Ruck...

Sinclair and Wanganeen-Milera have both been in the votes against us in previous game. Big game for Grundy as well - Marshall has been big against us, albeit against lesser Rucks. Higgins is the other one who plays half a dozen good games a year and one is always against us.

Cunningham out for 2-3, so that will be 4-5.. Outs: Cunningham, Cleary Ins: Fox, Roberts (sub) Backs: Mccartin (King), Melican (Caminiti), Rampe (Owens), Blakey, Florent (Butler), Fox (Higgins), Lloyd Mids: Heeney, Warner, Rowbottom, Gulden, McInerney, Adams, Campbell Forwards: Amartey...

From the side that beat Bulldogs, looks pretty simple. Out: Francis In: McCartin Backs: Mccartin, Melican, Rampe, Blakey, Florent, Cunningham, Roberts Mids: Warner, Heeney, Rowbottom, Gulden, Lloyd, McInerney, Jordon Forwards: Amartey, McDonald, McLean, Papley, Hayward, Wicks, Adams Ruck...

Structure wise, it's definitely not a bad call. Francis as a straight swap, it's what we got him and Hamling for, so we have depth in those positions. No point messing with a structure that's working. Fox is a Mr Fix It, can play anywhere, so really the perfect sub.

I think Fox comes in to the 22 to replace McCartin Fox - Rampe - Melican to play on Treacy - Amiss - Jackson/Darcy. Gives us the flexibility to have Blakey running to start with, if he needs to play taller rather than Fox at some point, then so be it. I also agree with previous posters, I...

5 - Warner 4 - Grundy 3 - Gulden 2 - Heeney 1 - Rampe YPOTY - Roberts

Dropped for the weekend's game and played in the VFL and stats wise didn't set the world on fire there either. Looks like he will suit up against our VFL team this weekend.

Wicks back in for Mitchell Backs - McCartin, Melican, Blakey, Florent, Roberts, Cunningham, Lloyd Fwds - McLean, Amartey, McDonald, Papley, Hayward, Wicks, Fox Mids - Warner, Gulden, Rowbottom, Adams, Heeney, McInerney, Campbell Ruck - Grundy Sub - Jordan

Mainly because there was a pile of players that were nowhere near the standard on Sunday, so why not give a young bloke who has been banging down the door a second crack? I think Matty Roberts got two touches in his first game, McInerney the same. If they felt he was worthy of a game in the...

As disappointing as Sunday was, can't see wholesale changes, simply a few best 23 back into the side. Hopefully the Wicks issue has run its course, as I think he's a required part of the 23. I'm also of the Thought that Fox moves back into the Rampe role if he misses, which would be likely...

New season - same issue of fading in the last. Must be the same fitness staff

I will jump in if there is still a spot

Classic or Draft?

This is my opinion, just from seeing how we like to line up throughout the years structure wise. Defence (7) KPD (2) - McCartin and one of Melican, Hamling, Francis Hybrid (2) - Rampe and Blakey - Fox is the one that comes in if one misses Rebounder (2) - Lloyd and Florent Lockdown (1) -...

Not even the highest bidding team and it's all about us

Collingwood pass - I think they'll only take two spots in the main draft. If they have a list spot available, I'd expect them to pick up Ryan Clarke to teach Nick Daicos how to handle a tag.

Collingwood is going to take Western Bulldogs Next Gen Academy member Luamon Luol. Will Hoskin Elliott was picked in the finals series as a defender ahead of Noble, and that's the role I'm selecting him for. An aggressive rebounding defender, runs his full measure and pretty good skills from...

Pick 23 - Collingwood select Archer Reid. 203cm with a long reach and an athlete. He's played as a key forward and ruckman. Mason Cox replacement, should pair up well with Mihocek and McStay in the future.

I'll have Collingwood

Fair call. I don’t necessarily disagree, just felt it enables us to keep our structures in the forward half without the need to have to play one of the Talls so high. Or Hayward or Heeney. Keeps them where they can be dangerous, and stops them from dragging the strong intercept defenders to the...
