I like most supporters have seen the last few weeks,sure there are injuries while i am not suggesting a total rebuild a few tweaks would suffice.E.g KPF and KPD.

doubt we will get a KPF or KPD for brock
They've won the clearances just thrice this season and even then by no more than 5.

Think it was mentioned last year that they did OK in the clearances. Definitely hasn't been the case this year.

Can people get a clue? Should have been playing all year. Dumped after Bombers game despite leading clearances and contested possession. He simply lost the popularity contest with you "supporters" and Ratten, probably becuse people cannot get over the price tag, and expect AA performances.
I shudder to think what response the comment will bring, but Brock is the MISSING LINK to our midfield. I hope Ratten has learned his lesson, rather than simply rely on Judd, Murphy Carrazzo and friends being "a superior midfield" he now has to think about the structures, not just be a supporter. I actually hold more hope for Ratts as a coach now, there is a good chance this has taught him a valuable lesson, and will be a positive going forward.
Talk of rebuild is lucicrous, when the boys come back, we have the cattle to win the flag NOW. We just have to make the 8 and have the cards fall favourably. 7 more wins (maybe 6) will give us a shot. Even if we lose next couple, all is not lost. The cavalry is regrouping at the fort for an all out assault.
Talk of trade currency for Brock is ridiculous, what more does he have to do? He can release Judd, Murph etc for more outside duties. Does not have to be Usain Bolt to do this, just get to the fall of the ball and give us first use. He is a smart man, would be realistic when negotiating his contract. While I prefer Brock and Ellard, talk that Curnow is not deserving of a rookie upgrade is BS. At worst good depth player, as is Collins, although needs more confidence.
Required players............. Forget money bags for Moloney, Boak etc, barring a GWS/Suns midfield up and comer returning home, we use the draft for generation next. A KPF would be nice, but hopefully in a month or two the big Squidda might confirm an in-house solution.

Ratten admitted that in hindsight it was a mistake dropping him after the bombers game. What's even better than his performances over the last month, has been his attitude, never complained and put his head down and worked on the deficiencies in his game.
No way he should be traded. I rate him much higher than Curnow and probably a bit above Ellard also.

Go Blues.
To be fair Gys is still a young ladd. and doing it hard at a a club that is doing it harder.

Beautiful to see Mclean do a Fraser Brown and put that blouse Josh Hunt down with a bump before winning the ball at a stoppage in our forwardline. The 100 kg Pussy went down like he had been shot.

Unfortunately not.
Would think the AFL will penalize him if the club don't. Very silly after last week and Minson the spud.

Would that improve or hurt our chances?
Nothing more than a fine would be fair. However, the AFL will seek to make an example of another footy player because he commented on a woman. What a joke.
you really do have to be specific when your posts are from your source or just your opinion
Just saying.....!!!!

Can't help but wonder what made his day so bad. He is one of the more intelligent players going around. Did he get some news at the club, selection or otherwise. Has earned his spot the hard way and deserves to keep it. Was he a sacrificial lamb again? To respond like that, knowing what the likely outcome was suggests he was beyond caring.
