This is the same Dogs group that lost to West Coast last year and hasn't shown much since, at this point I'm not convinced there is a fuse to be lit.

Was mentioned earlier he might have been off for a head knock assessment for a while there after copping that spoil to the head.

at quarter time?

It could be as simple as he was supposed to be eased into the midfield with more experienced mids like Crouch, Dow and Clark around him and that hasn't been the case. Let him learn.

Agreed we'd be in the bottom few for midfield quality regardless. No other midfield has been hit to the point of Ryan Byrnes starting at the first centre bounce though.

I think he made that same reference for about 3 months last season and it never happened. Could be just trying to acknowledge Campbell's work. That said, wouldn't be surprised to see it with the short breaks we have coming up and having the last bye this year. Interesting Jones only played...

What midfielder was available last year? The people currently running the show can't magically fix everything in one offseason. Our likely 2nd and 3rd mids are injured, Windy and Pou still learning, Jones building but unreliable, Clark MIA again. There's been a pretty consistent approach to...

Had his couple of warm up games, would expect him to be back to hitting targets this week.

For all of our injury struggles, how much of a blessing is Lynch and Balta out on a ground that will just be kicking down the line. We'll have Max they'll have Kozi. Thin midfields each, just gotta not let Shai run rings around us.

The team isn't the finished product by any means, and Saturday was bloody painful. But we're essentially a couple of straight kicks off being 3-0 with the same availability woes as last year.

He was still limping onto the ground after the siren, there's no ice on him in the post game photo on insta.

If they thought he'd done a hammy wouldn't he have been icing it?

The coaches have prepared all pre-season with how they see players being best utilised, we don't need to start moving the magnets around off one below par week. We get our best player back, our best mid last year got his first run for the year under his belt, and we're playing at a ground that...

The coaches did adapt during the game though? Pou got pulled from centre bounces after half time, Henry was thrown into all the bounces at the end of the third.

Higgins' brain is so absent the opposition played on as if there was no one on the mark multiple times, defensively he's a liability. And his set shot goal kicking has fallen off a cliff the last 18 months.

I feel like with this the goal scoring is always shaky with Butler anyway. Can kick a few or waste every chance, but finding someone to replace his tackling and pressure game is going to be important.

We just saw a club drop their captain for 2 months last season, I don't think being in the leadership group guarantees you anything. He can still be a leader at training without playing seniors every week, although he will probably end up playing more weeks than not.

Find a way to use it, maybe not on Bont, but there will be a better option available somewhere to you.

Team name: Caljems Yes I had a hat in my grasp and threw it away AMA :'(

Feels like a must boost week with the schedule swings. Going with these 3, Waardenburg in gives more options when selling Huk in the next couple of weeks.

I wouldn't boost in Browne just to trade him out again next week if you've already used one. If you have all 4 then maaaaybe, but probably better off using it in the next couple weeks.

Sounds like he gets injured kicking the footy with a toddler

Good luck to the GWS midfield trying to beat us up again

That was one of our worst performances for the year and we still hung around, were competitive in nearly every game for the year. When you factor in the state of the forward line most of the year, it was a great effort to finish 7th and there's reason for optimism in what we can do next year.

Brad Johnson was still saying we wouldn't win 13 games this year as we were walking into the G to play an elimination final.

Maybe easier for us St Kilda supporters to grasp the pain of a life long allegiance.

Problem is people do. Plenty of people seemed to believe the Jack Steven one a few years back

Who wastes their time writing this s**t. That's almost as dumb as the one claiming one of the Suns boys got abducted by bikies.

His best skill as a defender is tackling his opponent after a mark and managing not to get 50 called against him
