Gonna be tough getting the balance right when Cotch is back.
If Moore doesn’t come in for Jack then it shows Dimma doesn’t rate him I reckon
I reckon with Lynch Caddy and Balta up forward we don't need another tall. Shai has been pretty good and we probably missed him again a bit vs Melbourne so I wouldn't be surprised to see him get another crack at it. That doesn't mean the coach doesn't rate Moore though...

I know it's a sin to bad mouth Dusty but this lazy campaigner has the worst work rate in our team.

So many times when he should have ran to cover his opponent or put pressure on he was just coasting.

Spent most of the night forward as he wasn't prepared to out work his tagger.

Change my mind or fight me

He's shitting me to tears.
His pressure points last night were actually 5th best in the team , tbh I’m more concerned at his minimal offensive game , 61m gained last night , about 10% of his normal impact. I also reckon he spends too much time at FF , with jr8, lynch and caddy there’s no bloody way we need him down there for prolonged periods . Good problem to have , we ll sort it out

I’m thinking this will be favoured option

Your right, I don’t what Dimma thinks
I’m happy to see any and all the tiges play well be interesting to see what happens

Maybe Towner in for Jack? It’s an option because I know Jack loved having him there to self sacrifice and open up leading avenues, and block second up spoils for him. Might be just what Lynch needs.

He was in average form in the 2's. Don't think he's up to it yet. Needs more time.

Lynch needs everyone to get out of his leading lanes. When Jack returns put him on a wing. For now clear the forward 50 and leave Dan or George to crumb. Everyone else get out of his way. He’s a 100 goal forward. Melbourne were woeful last night and it was still game on with 10 to go. Our inside 50 entries were a real concern. Should have won by 80 plus.

He’s leading under the ball a lot but I know what you’re saying.
For me Jack shits all over Lynch but they have to find a way.
Sure they will.

If its 8 weeks for jack that takes us to the bye which makes the week after 9 weeks, not too bad an outcome looking at our fixture.

Limits our ability to rest lynch at all but hopefully hes ok.

We have options in towner, moore, etc.

We will be okay.

Totlly agree with Jack and Lynchy. Jack needs to have a chat to Richo re his travels up field playing on the wing in the later part of his career.

Tom and Jack are both great players but Jack has more versatility which is why he can be utilised in other roles. Tom is a leading from the goal square forward. Nothing more. Dimma needs to realise this and use him to our advantage. At the moment this is not happening. So many times last night his run at the ball was stopped by a Richmond player in his way.

Dogs have quite a tall forward line. I could see Garth coming in for Jack and Balta playing more game time forward
Man I hope they don’t play schache (
Seriously...explosive speed?!?!? Cheese melts faster than this fat **** sheet truck...
hahahahaha well I think he’s always been touted as having explosive speed but he certainly has been an epic failure to date

Assuming Jack is injured, I'd just bring Bolton back as the only change. He was unlucky to be dropped and is worthy of a recall.
It'd also make the message he was probably given when dropped crystal clear....He was only dropped because someone had to make way for a champion to return and he was just unlucky it was him.


Other possible outs...Balta & Rioli, but see how the 2s go before deciding that.

So apparently last night was a much improved performance for Melbourne according to Goodwin, Gawn and Stevo..

FMD how bad must they have been last week if last night was a step forward ? They were goalless for a quarter and a half.

This reminds me of last season when every team we beat was credited with an “honourable loss”

Please, list what is wrong.

I've got one thing, flaky disposal. That's it. What else?

He is a super wingman. Big in size, physical at the contest (and the opponents know it), can run absolutely all day. Checks his opponent really well yet can get forward when we're in posession. Probably the best, definitely top 3 of the 2 way runners at the club.

You can't have 22 silky skilled players, you need an engine. KMac is just that.

Are you at the games or just watching telly?

Get to a game and watch his work, it's exceptional. (the other person who would get more appreciation if people went to games is Caddy. His off the ball work in the F50 sets up so much).

I'm sorry, I'm with Rodney Dangerfield here. The way he's going now he'll always be on my teamsheet.
He can kick a goal or three too! :thumbsu:
