Interesting a team fractured by injury takes on a team/club fractured by in fighting coached by a coach the board is about to sack. Which fractured team wins who knows.

Even a win with all cats outs will feel shallow.

I want bevo to go but I wanted him to be sent off in a memorable win for everything he has done.
He can go out in an elimination final defeat, after we kicked the first 6 goals in the game and lead by 30 at 3qtr time.

That would be the most fitting send off to really sum up the vast majority of his time here

$1.74 favs now. Who’d have thought 😂
Me. As soon as the markets opened, you were $2.50. That was never gonna last.
Already made a decent profit.
I expect the odds to drop even further yet.
Unless you’re a big footy nut it seems the public are unaware of the Duncan suspension, taken a while to realise Close is injured and were slow on Hawkins.

I meant straight after our embarrassing loss to statistically one of the worst teams of the modern era, given our record at our annual day trip venue down the highway and before we knew of the long list of talent warehoused for your mob none of us would have contemplated us going in as favourites.

With the Cats' expected outs, surely this would have been a good time to go back to the two defensive talks structure the board was so pleased with a few weeks ago. Ideally, both Keath and VDM would have faced the hammer and we could have gone in shorter and faster.

But you'd imagine now Duryea is suspended and Cleary will come in for him. I don't see an easy replacement for Keath and VDM in the VFL and JJ is unlikely to be fit.

Do we use Daniel or Williams in the back half?

Williams for me (he's not been great for a while, but at least he has some height/intercept capability).

Jones, JOD, Richards, Cleary, Williams and Dale - JJ playing if he's fit as seventh/rotation. Keath and VDM shouldn't play again for the AFL team imo, or at least VDM shouldn't be anywhere near defense.

Normal ruck/mid set up (Libba in for Macrae, others as is), although I'd bring in Sweet for Lobb and have English play 2nd ruck/KPF. Baker and Poulter wings, which isn't great but there's not many great options there.

I think it would be a bit stiff bringing Sweet in for Lobb. He has finally put together a decent run of games, he should've been dropped for Sweet way earlier in the season.
 
Williams for me (he's not been great for a while, but at least he has some height/intercept capability).

JJ isn't fit.
 
I don’t really care about the current situation or who is out for the cats.

I just want to beat them.
Yep, agree, no-one has cared when we have been decimated by injury in the past, if they got a win. I really want them to show some heart, cohesion and skill. I don't even care if Carlton beat GWS, so we get into finals. Just show us and themselves something.

100%, Vandermeer does not deserve to play after the last two weeks games.
