We need to draft another small defender, especially with Laird almost done.
Play Max as the small defender and find another attacking HB to complement Milera, Keane and Worrell.

Id love them to put a big offer in front of Coleman and see if they could pry him loose of Brisbane.

In - Fog, N Murray, Draper, Nankervis
Outs - Tex, Butts, ANB - all injured, Bond

Ps. Should get Edwards back in by managing someone like Peatling or Taylor.

Does Dawson want to come back or take more time off?


The club needs to give as much time as he needs

Good point that this probably a good time to give McAndrew a game off.

Given ANB is suffering with his knee, crazy to risk him.
 
Also I dont want Berry dropped (and the PR/club culture impact of doing that off a showdown medal would be insane)

BUT

his fumbles ARE an issue. A big issue.
Next summer, get him to walk around handling a football 24/7
 
Why do we talk about rests each week? There won't be any rests.

Remember that time when we actually did rest Walker for the away trip and likely loss to Geelong? Then a couple of weeks later he was fresh as a daisy, kicked 5 goals, got 10 coaches votes and won us the game?

But then we instantly forgot that and he flew for hours both ways up to the Gabba, for a game we were never going to win, had to come back and play off a 5 day break and did his hamstring in the first quarter?

Even when we do rest and get amazing results vindicating the rest we forget about rests.

We will do whatever gives us the highest number of sore, underdone players or chance of creating further injuries.

Spackler, how about you let me explain the benefits of continuity to you. Once you understand it, you’ll realise why Tex playing last night actually improved our chances of September success.

I reckon Dawson will be back this week.

The funeral was Wednesday. What do a lot of guys do after a funeral? Group of mates/family and get stuck into the cans.

Hard to play an AFL game two days after that.

No doubt the club gave him the leave pass to see his brother off properly.

Why have we stopped playing Rach as a mid? 5 CBA only for one clearance
Rankine in there more.

They dont seem to like both in together.

Sog playing took some of Rachele's CBAs as well.



We are going to pay big coin for Zac Bailey, but Rachele has potential to be that player.
