We've gone to the Sexton and McPherson well far too many times with no real results - I'm happy with either Swallow or Rogers as the sub but feel Dimma might give Jake a go and keep Davey on the pine for another week - where he's been doing a great job of impacting when he comes on.
Long is part of yesterday - Jeffery, Rogers or give Swallow a full game. I'd prefer Jeffery, give Jake a couple more games in the 2s and keep Swallow as the permanent sub - he's very very good at that role.
Didn't see anything to suggest Luko was unhappy - played well and generates a lot with that kick out of defence and on the wing - OR did I miss something?
This is Mr Bods Mini GF - the first two wins were not expected - we were 50/50 in each but this one Suns are actually favorites and expected to win. That usually means we stink it up as we're not used to being favourites. The most critical game of the year by far and if we lose - a lot of air...
I believe it very well could be - line in the sand game so early in the season. I'll be there to hopefully see what we all want to see. Over to Mr Bods for comment.
They and supporters need to know that we're not that good yet and this game will be a massive danger game if they start believing the Vic hype which is always double bladed. They'd love Hawks to win so they can bash Dimma and the Suns again. Do NOT take this lightly as Hawthorn are at a similar...
I've been wrong before but have been relatively impressed with Ainsworth over the last season and a bit - even laid three tackles this week which is much better than most of the boys.
Just looking at the side I lump Holman, Fiorini, Ainsworth and Berry in the same section and I think they'll...
Hawks will NOT be easy beats - last night showed they should not be taken lightly.
This is the most important game this year as it will define whether we have what it takes or not. The team is looking great and will continue to improve BUT we must beat Hawthorn to instill a confidence in...
Agree with this. Jack has one fault and kicking isn't it. He needs to go harder in the competition but definitely had a better game than some think. That being said I'd prefer him on the ing to Fiorini and moving into the forward line kicking long goals. Still some finetuning but we've almost...
A loss to Hawks at home would be a massive set back - much more damaging than a loss to the Giants. Will be a massive pressure game as Hawthorn may conceivably be 0-4 and desperate for a win against a team where they'd give themselves a chance.
Agree with all comments - finals should not be a factor or a thought this year. If it happens then it's ahead of time. New faces, new enthusiasm and a greater desire to succeed will bring rewards but it'll take time. Giants game this week should be a very good indicator of just where we...
I actually believe we are starting to see the removal of all the dead wood that has been floating around for years. Dimma may not be expecting major success this year but wants to see what he's got coming through - which should be considered as the future. Probably not even expecting to see a...
Obviously not a Magpies or Hathorn supporter NOR a big Ginnivan fan but at least he goes in to get the ball and not wait to tackle. If it was anyone else, they'd pay a free for rough play. Soft world...
It's reached the point where I was amazied Chol didn't get reported for that knee to the back of the head while he was attempting a 'speccie'. If the guy had got a concussion, I shudder to think what would have happened.
