Another disappointing loss last night, after a few already this year. Tough conditions and only a short break it’ll be interesting to see how we back up. McKenna has to come back in, I think. Lyons out and maybe Ah Chee sub. Lachie could be a watch to see if he gets up too. In footage I saw...

It now makes sense why the AFL scheduled this game at 4pm at Norwood on a Friday. They had the foresight to the future that this may be a wooden spoon battle. In all seriousness, like a lot of others I’m pretty meh on the season already. Changes wise I honestly can’t see us doing much...

Hammer blow type stuff with Kiddy going down, but alas we have to pick ourselves up and move on as quick as possible. It’ll be interesting to see if we have to change the way we move the ball a bit from HB, given we’ve had a “QB” type player down there in Kiddy or Rich since Fagan has been...

Hard to believe game week has arrived. Couldn't see a preview thread up yet! What are we expecting the team to look like this week? Assume McKenna doesn't get up. Dev probably misses out from the GF team, possibly Kai in as his replacement? Payne to come back in down back and Darcy to move...

Yep that’s ******* right! GF you glorious bastards. Assume sake team goes out next week? Hopefully Lachie was just a stinger and whatever was up with Charlie isn’t an actual injury. Did Lyons get on the ground tonight? If not, does he keep the sub role? Edit. Still a bit to excited. Please...

Placeholder for discussion over the next two weeks. Do we have a preference or are we at that stage of anyone, anytime and even more so at the Gabba? I know one thing that can’t happen. Gunston can’t return based on that performance tonight. Please Chris, for the love of God - DON’T DO IT!

Depending on how results end up this week, if Port and Melbourne both win, then this is still a live game that we will need to take care of. Would be nice if Saints could win tonight to lock in their place and have less to play for. Would he even better if Hawks and Freo could get up, which...

As brutal as it is and as much as it sucks for everyone, we have to move on pretty quickly as a club, being only 5 weeks from finals. I didn’t want to derail a number of threads so who replaces Will as the third mid, for this year anyway? I’d like to see Dev get a proper shot at it, but I’m...

Might have a few guys carrying a few injuries / Linc missing with suspension, so might be a few changes next week. I didn’t like hearing the ground announcer say last night, words to the effect of “if this is what we did to Richmond can you imagine what we’ll do to WCE”. Will be hard enough for...

I’d be tempted to keep the same team next week given how well we played especially in regards to our pressure. Kiddy might miss with that hammy, so if he needs a rest I’d bring Prior back in to play a role off HB. Madden could be another option to bring some more speed in. Harry wasn’t great...

Should be a good test on their patch next week. The two old men are likely to miss and who knows for how long. I’d like to see Madden come in and have a run as I like the pace he would bring with McKenna but Joyce probably gets the nod given Carlton’s taller forward line. Zorko’s pressure is...

I know it’s far too early for this but I couldn’t find an appropriate thread to post it but Mods please move if not appropriate. This would be a bloody great get albeit unlikely. Made the same connection with Dunkley having his sister here this time last year so we might’ve been a chance and...

Ugh what a **** night that was last night. I think for all of Rich’s limitations now he comes back in. Possibly for Wilmot although he was probably in our top half a dozen last night so would be a bit harsh. I would like to see them make a statement in that forwardline. Linc and Hipwood are...

Few sore boys. What do we reckon about next week? I’ll go - In: Kiddy and Dev (Prior or Ah Chee sub) for Bailey (inj) & Berry (inj). Not sure we will want to play the 2 rucks at Marvel with the 3 talls so Fort might miss again (even though I’d prefer him over Oscar). If he comes out and Ah...

Well we got a couple of weeks later than what we thought and probably 2 weeks further than what we deserved given the way we played for a lot of the year, but we did play well the first 2 weeks in finals. Positives: Neale’s Brownlow medal winning form; Kiddy had a break out year; Cam and Eric...

Yep into the *ing prelim! Joe in. Fullarton out. Oscar in. Fort (unlucky) out. Hope like hell Jarrod doesn’t miss but if he does it’ll be interesting whether we go back to Matho or stick with someone with more speed again.

Didn’t think we’d have another game thread to pop up this year but here we are. Oscar out. Fort In. Robbo or Prior (he was pretty average tonight). Cam in. Please don’t go back to Lyons and give Dev another run. Edit. I’d also leave Noah out and stick with Wilmot.

Well it’s the day after the night that was. I guess with no one starting next weeks preview thread none of us really want to think about playing another game just yet but Thursday will be here again before we know it! In: Zorko Bailey Prior Out: Lyons, Tunstill, Terry

I know there used to be a poster on this board that would do the half yearly report but I believe that was how players were tracking etc from memory. So with that in mind, and now that we have reached the bye, I thought a quick review of the first half as a whole is in order. The good: the...

Big game next week. Wouldn’t want to drop two leading into the bye although it wouldn’t surprise me with the way we are playing right now and a quick turnaround off Perth. Changes wise it sounds like Joey is back thankfully! I’d personally drop Oscar or Eric before Fort but can’t see them doing...

Consider Clarko at all? Yeah I’ll probably get hammered for bringing this up after a loss but with all the talk in the media recently about us not considering Clarko, I thought it would be interesting to hear others thoughts? Fages will always be a legend of this club. No one can forget how...

Let’s move on from that today pretty quick. Assume Hugh will miss with the hammy. I guess Mitch will probably just take his place although, sounding like a broken record would like to see Dev go into the middle and take Hugh’s minutes in there. Hopefully McStay is back and if so Fullerton goes...

I guess the big question is does Eric come straight back in now for McStay? I didn’t think Payne was great but then it wasn’t a great night for key forwards and he probably gets a reprieve now with McStay seemingly missing. I also wouldn’t be against dropping Prior perhaps for Dev but can...

We move on pretty quick to next week, which after a loss is always good. In: Oscar Out: Fullerton If Berry misses with his shoulder than Dev is next in line. I’m also like a few others and wouldn’t mind seeing his brother come in as a midfielder not a pressure forward. Whoever it is should...

Well it’s the morning after the night that was. Who comes in next week? Dont mind the idea of moving Harris up forward for Mcstay as he’s offering little down back. The problem is we are already carrying Gardiner down back too so might be a bit much to unsettle the backline to much. Don’t...

Seen plenty of people talking about it the last few weeks in particular so why not a discussion? This isn’t a Fages bashing thread but I wanted to see what other people thought about the coaching group and our apparent lack of a Plan B during games. We seem to be totally set on playing our...

Fantastic news. Can definitely see Jarrod captaining the club some day.

I enjoyed reading everyone’s thoughts last year as to where players would end up. So as the title says where will the following players who have been rumoured to be (maybe) leaving be at next season? Tom Lynch Andrew Gaff Dylan Shiel Jared Polec Scott Lycett Dan Hannebery Dayne Beams Mitch...

Well I think enough time has passed since trade period and given we are back at training I thought we better fire this one up in anticipation again for next year. I thought this tweet from Mitch Cleary was interesting the other day. Not sure whether it’s a good thing or a reason for more...

Couldn't see a thread already posted and if there is, mods please feel free to close this one down. With the 1st - 4th year players back this morning (and Mitch Robbo) by the looks of one photo I've seen I thought if anyone heads down to training and/or has any photos could they please post in...
