Whoops!I like the sound of this set shock therapy practice
Give Preuss a double serving
No point playing JKH. Clearly not in the plans for 2020. Unless his form is warranted at VFL level I’d be leaving him. Honestly we are better keeping Lockhart in. Preuss can go for Smith. At least Smith competes. Probably Baker for Viney.We actually played alright other than set shots in the 1st qtr and running out of gas.
If Weid and Smith are fit Preuss is in trouble. Lockhart did nothing and looks like Viney might miss a little bit
Out: Lockhart, Preuss, Viney (inj)
In: JKH, Smith/Weid, Baker
Give some of Viney's midfield mins to Trac or JKH or something
Why are we so sure Viney will miss?
What are the stats with concussion and missing the next week?
I said the same thing in the GDT, we'd given away a couple of sling free kicks, and a few holding after disposal free kick etc, so he way maybe just trying to be careful ... ironically, if he did give away a free kick, we'd have time to get bodies back inside 50, and might have been able to prevent the goal that was kicked.The only excuse I’ve got for Pruess there is maybe.. perhaps.. he was worried about that sling free kick thing.
One of our players (Fritsch?) got pinged for a terrible one earlier in the game as the ball crossed the near boundary.
I’ve never seen Pruess shirk a tackle before - he enjoys hurting others.

Something about him reminds me of my 4 year old, and I have trouble holding her to account as well.We are very generous you and I.
Pretty certain Goody would say I dont give a s**t, stick the tackle no matter what.
JKH is warranted on Casey form. I get we've seen him enough, but he deserves a game based on his form there. More so than Dunkley, Hannan, Josh Wagner, Corey Wagner sans his game against Footscray, Lockhart and even baker in recent times.No point playing JKH. Clearly not in the plans for 2020.

Really not much point doing much else
MehThe battle of meh.
Just didn't work for Lockhart, was it just J.Wagner that did the dodgy passes in the middle ? They are the only two I can think of that are at risk. Team needs to persist with Preuss I believe (hopefully they show him that dropped mark and tackle over and over again all week).
Otherwise I thought the team did pretty well, in general and totally ignoring crap goal kicking.
I did like a comment from Lloyd or Bartel on afl.com.au in that the team can't afford to waste these years that Gawn is at his prime, and this is a wasted year.
Got $1.98 vs westcoast at <39.We’re actually starting favourites against the Saints funnily enough, we’ve been at decent odds all year really, given how s**t we’ve been.
Good call, found it weird he copped some flak as I thought he had a pretty handy game. He's entitled to cop it most weeks, but thought both Wagner's weren't horrible. That kick sticks out, but thought he spread, gave an option out of the backline and was fairly sturdy.Also don't really understand what people expect from our players. JWag and Lever both stuffed up kicks into the corridor looking to open up the play. Both are just new back into the side so aren't going to be going at 100% but just like usual only Wagner cops it. The bloke played fine, when Brayshaw just lobs it down the line people aren't happy with that but then immediately want someone dropped who tries to bring it inside.
Wagner does it whether he's fresh or not. If we had someone better to bring in, I would. But we don't.Also don't really understand what people expect from our players.

Wagner's bad kick was into the corridor to try and change the angle. Bailey Fritsch cost us the game with a much worse kick.Wagner does it whether he's fresh or not. If we had someone better to bring in, I would. But we don't.
