I guess the possibility is to go with a smaller forward line. DeGoey back at FF. Just one tall.everyine else just running about using their pace and skill.

I want Noble back in. He's not headed for stardom, but he's been both decent and improving. Dropping him was a mistake.
T. Brown looked spent soon after the game had begun. Wills was ineffective, even by his modest standards. I don't think that Sier has much to offer, but we should take the opportunity to find out.
Out: Varcoe
In: Noble
Out: Wills
In: Sier
I've looked at some of the footage of our scratch match v Ess, and read some of the reports. The only thing Sier seems to be putting his hand up for at this stage is bong filled with the finest weed. He really doesn't have so much talent that he can afford to burn a portion of it with a s**t attitude. Maybe he just doesn't want it. And this is fair enough, because I never wanted to do the hard yards to be an elite footballer either, but he's on our list and he exists as an option and his worthiness of being on the list needs to be tested right now. Put up, or blow away.
Out: T. Brown
In: Jay Rantall
Plenty of other disappointments, but they can't all be solved in a week.

Then he see the Ball Even Less
He has not done anything playing on ball, he needs to go forward and stay there
In: Football
Out: Collingwood
Out: Collingwood
Out: Cox, T. Brown, Varcoe
In: Kelly, Sier, Quaynor
Wills, Sier, Adams at the bounce of the ball. Yeah Wills is not a great kick but he fights in the contest and is physical, something a lot of our mids could use a lesson in. Treloar, Pendles, Phillips, Daicos are our outside runners and users so back in the three of Wills, Sier and Adams to get the clearance out to our better runners and users.
De Goey, Elliot, Stevo, Mihocek, Hoskin-Elliot should be able to combine for at least 10 goals. So play them there and let them do their role. Kelly can come in and play as the key target down there, he won’t be worse than Cox.

ridiculous call
Season over for mine, and so is the window. Don't see the point of minor changes, just play all the kids, see what they can do and cop the hammerings.
Won't make a difference, we've been exposed as pretenders, hawks by 5 goals regardless (that's if they have a bad game)
What a great supporter you are. It’s round 5, room for improvement but other than Port nobody is playing well.
So it's evident we play poor performing teams into form.
We play our bogey side (one of, soon it'll be the whole competition coz that's how sh1t we are) next week, so who is going to come out against them and would it matter? We are system based team, so unless the planets align we're everyone's whipping boy.
We're just not that good, as evident by being exposed as pretenders by a middling team - unless we're 'on'. The system is great but difficult to execute week in week.
Basically everything has to fall into place if we're to win it, we ain't winning it this year or anytime soon - we'll stick to our usual 20 to 30 year droughts.
So I don't see the point in any changes or changing the whole team, there'll be no joy. Just a chance to vent for us p155ed off fans, and that's all it is.

There's such thing as too early, wrong game, etc.
Jack Watts' debut has changed my view on this forever
You are an embarrassing supporter. Seasons over? Stop posting and stop watching then.
Ok, so I'm f*n p155ed, that doesn't change the fact we're not that good, we aint flag material. Everything has to align perfectly for us to win it, not needed for the other non pretenders.
Maybe you should look at teams besides port, gc and bris are playing great footy. Saints too, play them last night we lose by 10 goals.
I certainly wouldnt be ruling a line through Reid. We cant afford to be ruling out anybody. If he can be relied upon to get through the game hes arguably our best bet because he has been servicable when fit in recent seasons. But hes not the future, so maybe its time for fresh blood.

I wouldn't make too many changes, despite our horrid performance. We're simply not a good wet weather side, and we won't be able to work on that until we play in another wet game.
Despite having a few regular passengers (T Brown for example), we've got quite a few players playing below par; Elliott, DeGoey and Crisp especially. Could probably add Phillips to this list despite the positional change.
I would be more worried if these types of players had recently had a flash in the pan season but I think they've shown enough consistency over various years to say they're just in a form slump.
Lucky for us we're only 2-1-2, an even ledger with a percentage of 133.5. That said, this game is massive ahead of playing Geelong and WCE in Perth. A must win.

We flogged saints the week before? Bris and Gold Coast? Have they left Queensland yet? Stop posting. nobody cares about your defeatist attitude
I'll post as much as I want, and vent as much as I want, the rules say so. Up to you if you wanna read them.
Was the season ever on? Or was it just false hope like every other year?
All good I’ll block you, your attitude is beyond a joke. Actually embarrassing after one bad game.
Couldn't care less if you care or not, I'm gonna keep posting. My posting will make zero difference to how the team performs, nor will your blinded optimism.
Saints? Convince me we would've beaten em last night, don't think so.
Block or don't, couldn't care less. One bad? lol. We haven't played a 4 qtr game since last year! Even then they were rare. You're kidding yourself.

Did we even play 4 qtrs in any game last year?
Guess maybe was the 2nd Rounds game vs Richmond
