Our game against the Suns was so bad that I would rather look at the first five games as a block. For me Nash has been below par all season. I would promote Hustwaite to the starting 22 and omit Nash. Morrison comes in. The midfield has been the area of most concern. If fit Breust plays in...

5. Scrimshaw 4. Massimo 3. Impey 2. Meek 1. Amon

This is what we have been crying out to see from Meek. Throwing his weight around and playing with agression and intensity. He is a big lump. He finally played like it.

5. Hardwick 4. Meek 3. Newcombe 2. Amon 1. Moore

Wish him all the best at the doggies but from what I've seen of D'Ambrosio is his first three games I don't miss Bramble in the slightest

5. Worpel 4. Frost 3. Nash 2. Chol 1. Scrimshaw

I want a sub who can plug any hole in case of an injury and/or needing to shuffle the magnets around. Morrison can do this. He is largely dependable and low risk.

Not sure if he has been told to rein in the dash but it definitely appeared he was playing within his limitations. He has also been very good defensively. In our best few over the first two games.

This is what will get blokes dropped first and foremost. It's been two games now. Sure we are have been fumbly and wasteful but lack of effort is not negotiable. It's a career killer

I would like to see the stat for our first touch fumbles over the first two games.

5. Massimo 4. Ginnivan 3. Scrimshaw 2. Weddle 1. Worpel

You are wording this as though Reeves was dominating in the ruck and it was solely the midfielders dropping the ball (literally and figuratively). This wasn't the case. Reeves had total 9 hitouts to advantage for the match. Goldstein had 8. Hardly a difference. Goldy nullified Reeves strength...

Massimo had one of the better first games I can remember as a new recruit from another club. Normally takes a while to gel. The early signs for all three of Massimo, Ginnivan and Chol look really promising. Massive upgrade on Bramble, Brockman and Kosi

5. Massimo 4. Moore 3. Ginny 2. Worpel 1. Hardwick

Worpel looked like the only one playing with any hunger to hunt for the ball at the stoppages. A distinct lack of physicality from those around him.

If the Doggies really have their heart set on Watson then it may be interesting if he is still on the board at our pick. They may offer us something silly on the niight to move from 5 to 4.

And just like that Sicily was no longer the most hated player at Hawthorn.

I'll raise you Rick Davies

No. I'm equating the Maynard smother with a Rugby charge down gone wrong and how it would be officiated in that sport. Nothing to do with a comparison to Sicily's tackle or any tackle for that matter.

I also watch a bit of rugby and for me the Maynard incident was alot like a rugby collision with two players running at each other and colliding front on. In rugby this would be at a minimum a Yellow card sin bin but more likely a straight Red send off. Intent, accident, going for the ball...

I'm amazed so many want to keep Jeka. It seems a classic case of his stocks keep rising the less he plays. He couldn't crack it as a forward. Which means other players on potentially rocky ground such as Kosi, Greene and Ryan were seen as better options ahead of him. And he couldn't get a game...

5. Moore 4. Day 3. Sicily 2. Hardwick 1. Newcombe

I would play our strongest side with the intention of finishing the year on a high with a good win. Freo are traveling and will be flat after a poor year. I think Mitch will want to smash them. Players play sore the whole year. Resting them for the last game to 'freshen up early' makes zero...

Serong was fantastic. Good size and great composure with ball in hand. I can see him being ahead of Frost R1 next year. With Blanck now holding FB, Frost may find himself behind Serong, Sic, Scrim as 2nd/3rd tall defender I liked that Sammy showed bold coaching today being unafraid to back his...

5. Worpel 4. Nash 3. Reeves 2. Macdonald 1. Hardwick

Outside of pure tapwork, I feel this was Ned's best game.

The Scott brothers have probably had better days.

Ess v GWS should be all the evidence the AFL need to scrap all this rubbish talk of any future wild card round. Bog average teams like the Bombers will fill these games.

That was an interesting listen. And a good insight as to why players can get asked to go back to the twos and work on an aspect of their game where the coaches want to see change. It's also a massive endorsement of how Scrim has been head down bum up and embraced what Sammy has demanded. Those...
