We need more players to do an apprenticeship in VFL if at all possible, like the old days. No hurry at all with Calsher. Look at how Geelong give the guys a go now after 2-3 years: Dempsey, Conway, Z Guthrie. They all look ready to go.

Turgid set of results yesterday. Cats again look the top side. Top 4 of Geelong Collingwood Carlton Essendon? Spew.

I would like Cooper Stephens to play. He was recruited as a mid from Geelong and is a former Top 16 pick. That puts him much higher than 90% of our squad as a draftee. In that trade Ollie Henry went to Geelong (already made Cats much better), Tom Mitchell went to Pies (second best on in GF)...

Reality is this. All teams have at least one top 5 pick in their midfield and usually more. Presently we have none. Just do not have the talent to stack up to most teams at the moment. The mid plan has to change. Hustwaite was seriously our best mid at getting the ball and only played one half...

Deepest apologies to Sam Frost. Start of the year I thought he was not in best 22 and I thought he could not change his error-ridden crazy Frostball ways. I thought the side was better without him, having beaten Coll Bris and Dogs last year when he was not in the side. I wrote some ordinary...

Absolutely. Matthew Lloyd did that as a commentator when he admitted to diving and he has been one of the better commentators since. Selwood was terrible for a decade and it infuriated everyone. Annoying that he is now a commentator.

Could have kicked 4 or 5 today. Against strong opposition in front of a big crowd. Massive upgrade on Kosi and will be very important over the next period while Mitch Lewis is out.

Very happy with this choice. Another 16 possessions as a forward, an excellent goal and a few other chances. He also brought the energy in the second quarter that lifted the crowd and the team. Hope is ankle is ok. He should not play Box Hill.

So disappointing. Never been able to play more than 15 games in a year.

Melb are right in the zone to play GWS in grand final this year. Should have beat Coll in final last year and same for blues

Needed to change something in centre. Rounds 1 and 2 were abominable. Sorry.

Still had a better weekend than our other mids

Will be fine. Picked up around 14 possessions last week and I would rather the ball is in hands than at least half the team.

He was a pick 16. Must have some talent . Need talent midfield so would like him to get a chance

Would like some smarter footballers in the centre bounce - CMac, Hustwaite. Anyone except Nash and Worpel who are being slaughtered out of the centre square and continually chasing their opponents while they take the ball on the attacking side of the centre. If this continues we will be last or...

Finn must tag clarry. Last year did a goodjob and Goodwin complained about Finn not going for ball. You know you have done something outstanding when opi coach complains. Need to revert back to Finn tagging. He is number 1 in league and I do not understand why he is not considered a top asset for us

Lots of time for our top 10 picks but would hope that at least one of them can be as good as jai , CMac or massimo. To me, those 3 look the best of the long term mids with Day and probably HH

But aI logo much better

Having 19 teams is silly

Wow. 30 quality possessions and only in game 17. Still just 20. Great left foot. Having now seen him in a game - what were essendon thinking ? Keep it up and might be one of the recruits of this year

Don’t know what Finn’s role in team is if he is sub

Coll were the least impressive premiers in the last 30 years. Cannot recall any premier winning 3 games by a total of 12 points. Not rocket science that if they are off 2 percent they are suddenly bottom half of top 8 level if that

This is why Finn must tag Merrett. The benefit we get from Finn doing a nice job here far outweighs the benefit we get from the likely output of Worpel or Nash.

Worpel and Nash are barometers of the side. The gap between their good and bad is the same as the team. If they have less than 30 possessions between them any time this year expect we have been hammered

GWS are great to watch. Comparing their midfield to Taranto and Hopper, they have made off like bandits with those trades. Looking at being a top 4 squad for a while. Their away record means they are capable of multiple flags while Toby Greene leads their elite midfield.

Dees should have gone for Gunston instead of Grundy. So obvious

Would like us to tag Z Merrett. Our whole side performed better when Finn was doing his thing and it also triggers the opposition (including their coaches - ie. Melb coach and pies lost their minds when Daicos was tagged).

Facts: 1. Dogs rolled out a top 4 midfield that are finals conditioned and goal kickers (Bont, Libber, Treloar, English), including the best mid in the game. This allows others on the fringe to flourish, ie. Sanders, Caleb Daniel, Harmes, anyone else who can stand upright. They also have McCrae...

We have no choice . Phillips sounds like the best we can get right now

Could meek play full back ?
