Best of luck to the lad. Hope he can recover fully throughout 2024 without any associated complications.

The return of Z. Williams for sure.

Would have to involve Lance Whitnall

Fish a very close mate of Logue.

Same. Not to derail the thread but he was looking the goods before the knee.

This has been what my wife has listened to me say (or scream at the telly) all season. Can't have it all overnight but I agree that this is 100% our achilles heel.

Come now people, let's stay level and not get all prelim goal square jigging Chad Cornes. Focus on the job at hand. Backs are realistically against the wall here. This game is well and truly on. I'm in WA but we were at Marvel last year when we played these pretenders. Do me a favour and...

From memory we failed to move the ball with any urgency the last 2 times we've played these guys. Slow ball movement, borderline circle work. Will he different Sunday. We'll win.

12 years old and a blubbing mess. Kacking his dacks by the end of the game and looking very exposed. 47% (or less) KE. Take your crown for this week baggers. Loves it.

I don't believe Weiters likes having Young in the backline. Young's reaction time is not the quickest. He can play but needs the extra second to read the play. His lack of nous to react and cover was doing everyone's head in before he was dropped. He's a reasonable ruck/fwd, can take an...

Called Dew 2 years ago in some 'you heard it here first' style thread. You just can't demand effort from the donut van.

I'd prefer Ed start if he plays and have Cotts as sub. Wouldn't be surprised if Hollands is sub, which is not a great choice but that's the kind of selection Voss seems to pull. Reality is, our list is reasonably healthy and selection isn't as straight forward as we're used to. This should...

Young/Silvagni took more marks combined in one game than TDK/Pitto in any game this season. Rucks providing consistent marking targets has been a deficiency of ours all season. There's something in that. Can they replicate vs Freo? Not sure but it was refreshing to see nonetheless.

Be great to see Cuningham build on his last game with Motlop putting the selection pressure on. Got a feeling Harry might bag himself a few. Cripps to show the hawks pretenders what a contested masterclass looks like. Blues by 6+ goals.

Who is to blame for this though? Where else do the supporters have a voice? We are more than likely out of the finals race when we expected to be thereabouts. Of the many that are commenting, there'd be 3 times that seething in silence and multiple more that don't know big footy even exists...

Agree. TDK needs to play a blinder.

Reminiscent of Paul Bower

Bet he requests a trade at year's end.

Jack is slow, misses targets and, for someone his height, is an invisible contested marking option. It's a shame, he's heart and soul. TDK is no better by foot but is a superior ruck and makes a genuine impact in every pack, regularly bringing the ball to ground if he doesn't mark it. Our...

Do players ever have any legal grounds regarding non-selection? Do members, as those that support the club, have any right to petition for a player to be selected? Any other side that was low on form, with a player in the 2s racking up 30 to 40 possessions would select him without hesitation...

Interesting seeing the comments about our lack of marking targets coming from D50. Don't waste Kemp in the backline. Throw him at HF. Good hands, great leg. A wasted talent in a negating role. He is exactly what we need at HF. Watching Cox on the weekend made me think of Mirkov. Cox is...

Play DeKoning. Please. Rest Jack. #yesimcampaigning

It's likely. Shame we can't do 1 better. Boyd needs to get some form asap. Burst and skill, perfect sub.

Expectation is a dangerous beast. Based on optimal output, many deserved to be dropped. Including Cripps. You could use the 'runs on the board' argument but you need games to get those runs. Knee-jerk dropping of young players still learning the AFL craft is not the key to long term...

I rate Kemp very highly. Would play him over JSOS every week. Faster, cleaner, better player by a mile. We're looking suspiciously like a boys club again with untouchable players getting rewarded for zero output. Don't get me wrong, I am and have been a massive fan of Jack but he is...

If he's good to go, TDK should come back in. We won more games with him in the side. Brings the ball to ground nearly every time. Sometimes he'll even mark one. Means Harry doesn't have to get up the ground as much. JSOS is on borrowed time. Turning it over a lot atm.

We'll win.

Cripps does ok with lower leg muscles that dont look capable of supporting his frame. The soleus works more than the stroc. Cuningham and Boyd are of more interest to me to get back into the team than Martin. I wish all the players well on their respective recovery paths.

Just needs some tibialis work.

I picked them all. Hoping the best 22 is so solid that they all get a single game over weaker opponents for a sniff of the big time.
