Riccardi needs to do more.

Briggs could have an advantage in the ruck… far stronger than their ruck.

Geez the club has let itself down over the last month. Chances are we go down this week… and I’m not sure there has been a premier that has lost four in a row.

Yep, some of the language from the coach is a bit concerning. ‘We didn’t adapt to the conditions’ is a concern. It’s not that hard. I reckon we’ve developed bad habits across the club... Our vfl team performs just like our afl team. We aren’t running hard defensively. We are fumbly. Guys like...

I think Leek would get monstered by Hawkins. I’d put him on Cameron. I get the feeling this game will be ugly for us.

Interestingly, our vfl team looks just like our afl team in the way they are performing… shithouse. I can’t help but feel this is more than a player effort thing. We can make a couple of changes, but that on it’s own will make no difference.

The whole side is out of form. Except for Hogan. That is unbelievable. They are cooked. Look like our worst days under Leon. Shitshow.

Hard to fathom Ward kicking it the wrong way leading directly to a goal. Probably speaks to our collective mindset. We are playing like s**t.

I think the wet weather doesn’t hurt us… they are very tall in front half. Two huge games leading into a bye. Players need to be very desperate of we’ll be of the 8 before we know it. Winning more centre clearance and the tackle count would be a good start.

Can we pick up a ruckman in the mid season draft?

He’s not our go to to bring the ball out but Perryman is an excellent user on both sides. Doesn’t panic. He’s built his tank up over the years. I can see him being used more over this next 6 weeks, alongside Whitfield.

Peatling and XOH/Fahey in. Lift in the contest, pressure and desperation.

Can’t really seeing us rectifying our form this week… I think we in for a couple more losses first.

I know he’s been injured from the get-go, and he’s so young so we just have no idea, but I see Leake as very similar to Cal. Similar size and shape. Great kick. Can take a mark. Likes the contest. Gee I hope he can get up and going in the back half of the season in the vfl.

What?

Rowston or Peatling to come in. Centre clearance is such a concern.

It all depends on our tackle pressure. When the Bombers bumped theirs up to 200 in the 2nd quarter we became fumbly. Because our gameplan is dependant on getting the ball on the outside with hands going forward, strong tackle pressure breaks us down. We need to apply equal or more tackle...

Huge couple of weeks for Conor Stone.

I’ll be at this tomorrow. Want to see pressure game across the ground.

Cogs and Kelly, with Callaghan, Ward, Peatling, Daniels etc going through there is more than enough cattle. It’ll be about attitude… they’d better aim up in Cals 300th.

Green may not play.

Can’t believe Tom Green got away without significant damage. Surely it’s a risk to play him this week? Gruz should come in for Brown. He’s a better lead up mark than Riccardi. Going to be a tough test this week against Dons. They have a level of confidence they haven’t had for years and their...

I wouldn’t worry about them. Swans always love an early season win. Let’s meet them in the finals when it really counts.

Yesss… Hawks!

lol… Green

Gruz for Brown. Cogs for Greene. Maybe Rowston in for one of the small brigade.

Geez Tom Greens injury looked bad… I think he’s going to be out for a long time.

Free kicks played a massive role in the wet that quarter.

My concern with EH is he has too many occasions where he is out bodied too easily. By his age he should be better in the contest. Interestingly, this appears to be where Madden is starting to thrive.

Peatling.
