:confused: Go have a look at the line up they fielded against us and Geelong for example....
Players such as Goodes, Tippet, Ried were missing also another 3 others or so with the likes of Mcglynn... yeah nah they were not undermannned...:rolleyes:
Oh so Sydney were the only one with outs that day were they???

Tigers will come at us from the start, Roos must be ruthless early too. The roller coaster ride must end this week. Top 4 is there for the taking if the players are willing to work hard for it.

That view isn't upsetting.

It's ludicrous.
The only way he's not in the 22 is when he is out injured.
Have you seen him play this year?
As slow as a wet week, no lateral movement, disposal has been shocking, picks it up and bombs it straight to an opposition player, marking below average, if his name was Jacobs, Anthony, Greenwood he would have been dropped.

Has been Terrible.

In a team that is screaming out for leadership you want to drop a guy who is a leader.

Where is the story about Petrie tearing strips off the players? How about Boomer? Scotty Thompson? Gibson? Anyone from the leadership group at all?

Jack is down on form and is carrying some form of injury. What player not currently getting a gig at AFL level replaces the leadership you lose when you drop him?

He wasn't flash on the weekend, sure.

But to say he isn't best 22 is just wrong.

Bout the only other bloke who would do it would be JMac unfortunately. Maybe Nicky Dal in a pinch. We have too many introverted leaders

Seriously though, I wonder how many of those Daw detractors (just wanted the alliteration) might perk up if Wood were to replace him.
I don't know - Maj has got so much upside which he will not reach unless we give him game time. BUT it would be nice if we actually had a forward who could take some marks - poor mids and Lindsay are doing all the work

The difference is that he, unlike the others, has played elite football. Sure he is in poor form now, but if he regains the form of last year we improve by 10% in a flash.

Ok Gents i guess i am putting this out there as an unpopular opinion that on current form this year JZ is not best 22..... Injuries have played their part yes.


Leadership? IM sorry what has he done to scream out leadership? Sure he plays hard, but currently.... Hansen has more leadership in him....

Lol, didn't realize you were out on the pitch


Players like cunnington don't say they look up to him for no reason
