umm the pace and expectations

Pretty sure Walsh can handle it, he's just as much chance of getting injured in the 2's.

RE: Walsh, If he is not fully fit, it is not worth the risk. However, if he's done the work and has been passed fit, he plays. Simple. I'd love to see him out there.

Wing, all game. He loves playing, so why not. Plenty of time to recover.

I'm a general admission member with my son a junior. Was going to buy reserved seats. However are very expensive especially level 1. So i was thinking of just rocking up on the day.
Never go to marvel first time in years.

So what's the chances of general admission level 1.
Or is it all just level 3 and will we get a seat?
Mcg, seems a lot cheaper to reserve seats.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

Jeez, I remember some of your guys saying he looked like a pedo on the very day of his appointment. Even we're not that harsh on our coaches.

Lol, that's like saying South Australians all look like serial killers.

Gotta admit I don't like turning my back on a bloke wearing a Jackie Howe singlet with a dodgey mullet cut.

In - Walsh - Gov - Hollands
Out - Fog - White - Acres

Saad - Wieters - Carroll
Cowan - Young - Haynes
Walsh - Cripps - O Hollands
TKD - Hewitt - Lord
Moir - Gov - Williams
Motts - Harry - Evans
Wilson - E Hollands - Durdin - HOK F Young

Could keep White as sub and given Young a run in the 2s

Durdin can go as well and bring in Charleson. Having a small forward as the sub is a waste and limits flexibility if you get an injury. should be a runner.

I really just want to see Wilson given a license to run like he does in the 2s. Don't really care if he gets caught, just add some dash off HB rather than just bombing it down the line over and over.

Think we can put a line through the Haynes to the wing experiment. Worked for a half against Freo but was terrible against GC

 

[passmark]

I would continue to play as many fringe or young players as possible.

Winning isn’t as important right now as seeing who deserves a list spot.

Would love to see Cowan wing/mid to make that happen but we know it won’t

 

[DamoESP]

Rather we hold McGovern out for the rest of year as to not trigger his games played clause in his contract.

 

[Bamboo Harvester]

Message to Match Committee: DON'T DROP THE KIDS!!!!

The season is done, kaput, goneski....I don't care that they bring back Walsh or Gov or Lij or even Boyd. We know what we're going to get from them so there's no point.

What I do care about is letting the kids have a run the next few weeks against weaker opposition to get some senior experience leading into the pre-season. Every game now is priceless to them. In fact, I'd be giving Saad the rest of the year off and bringing in Charleson. Poor ol' Saady looks like a geriatric right now hobbling around, no doubt playing sore. Bring Lucas in for another run and give Acres time off, who also looks like he's been playing sore.

But please don't bring Walsh in at the expense of someone like White or Flynn, or Gov in at the expense of Billy or HO'K or Carroll.

And give Durds a full game ffs!!! He's getting splinters on his arse recently, get him in for a full game to get some confidence and continuity back for the next few weeks.

 

[Coona Blues]

I get your point mate, but a competitive beast like Walsh starved of his livelihood and love, should absolutely play if he ticks the boxes.

Also agree Durds deserves to start, added some zip when he came on and has had two goes at the vest. Walshy can come in and send Mots to the vest, after all he only impacted for one quarter last week. Mots has forward creds, but I am damned if I rate him for mid rotations ahead of other options.

I love the prospect that Charleson is becoming, but it does little to bring him in for a token game or two. As long as he is re-signed will be fine. Billy needs continuity if we are investing in him. Unfortunately Young or White should be the ones to miss, love his tools, but has yet to prove he is genuine AFL quality. White has shown enough. Nothing to gain by throwing Acres in the twos. If he is being courted by West Coast, let’s keep the value up. Lucas has some things to work on and game time in the ones is neither here nor there at this stage.

We have a five day back up with some players just hanging in fitness wise, some rotation may be in order. Most should get a gig in fairness.

Yep tell him if he wants selected he needs to tear up his contract Daisy Thomas style and trust that the club will pay fair value next year!

Good post but I reckon giving Charleson a little taste for a game or two gives him some encouragement and a feel what it takes at the next level.

He'll hit the pre-season raring to go.

Guess no Lemmey debut

Surely the Voss presser is done already

Doesn't appear to be. Will probably be in the morning.

Our most competitive player wants to footy, I respect the hell out of it.

Welcome back, Sammy Walsh.

Do not like WW being dropped, though.

Just head up to level 3 and you should get some good seats without having to pay and reserve them.

There'll be rows of unreserved seating, so just head up there and take your pick. It's what I do when I head to Marvel and it's great viewing from up there.

I don't understand how Fog gets picked after last week. Staggering
