Big Jake with four! Bring back the Muss. He can play FF and switch with Gawn. Hogan can roam wherever he will. About 200% more productive than anything involving Dawes, other than a mark dropping competition.

Dawes sucks but at least he can run and get out of the way, Spencer will just get in Hogan's way.

Someone more mobile like Fitzy is better suited.

Welcome back real Tempy Tiger - I've been wondering where you've been?

Id love to squeeze Spencer in for the last few games, but Dawes is the only replacement I could consider.

I just don't see Spencer covering the CHF role unfortunately.

All I can think of is Spencer to take the number 1 ruck role and Gawn to play deep forward (Hogan CHF), but I wouldn't want to mess with Gawns form in the ruck in the last few games.

JKH is starting to become a concern, would like to see him start improving in the VFL soon!

Great to see Kent out there, would be good to see him get a game in the seniors before the end of the season.

Meh, he'll just be disappointingly shit. He's listed by MFC.

 

[Benwah83]

Frank me drunk, we really don't have anything left in the shed, do we?

 

[RandB]

Was this Kent's first game back?

How was McKenzie second best with 12 touches?

Ellie did the votes?

Must have played a shutdown role.

On himself.

Like Cyril, his touches are worth 3 compared to mere mortals.

 

[ponsdale]

Fitz didn't play with concussion hang-overs? Terrible timing with H likely to miss next week too.

Toumpas also didn't play with lingering concussion?

 

[HenryR]

Absolute Bullshit

Coz you watch he will be picked next week to pay against Freo, all pre planned.

 

[Benwah83]

Absolute Bullshit

If they pick Jordie this week, I'll smash something.

 

[rhaz]

I still reckon it's worth giving White a crack. I know it costs $ to upgrade him (we should have a spot with long term injuries), but why not see what he has.

Can't give us much less than Lumumba...

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Jordie apparently held their best player to no influence, coaches like that... don't they?

JKH is starting to become a concern, would like to see him start improving in the VFL soon!

Was reading Plapp's reviews and he has this say about JKH's game on the weekend:
Jay had nine possessions and seven tackles. Even though from Jay’s point of view, it wasn’t a high possession game for him, with his defensive pressure and his tackle pressure around the ball, he was very good on the weekend. We’re working with Jay to try and round his game off and get a balance of both but he’s working really hard at the moment. He’s not getting much reward for effort but he is certainly following instruction and trying to work on the things that we are encouraging him to do. At some stage, he’s going to have to try and get the balance of both but it’s certainly not through lack of effort. We’ve played him a little bit on ball over the past few weeks and he’s given us some real intensity around the ball. He’s a work in progress but he’s certainly heading in the right direction.

I'm a bit encouraged by that, though maybe they're just confusing the lad.

There's also this about White:
Mitch had15 possessions and one effective tackle.Once again he was probably one of our better defenders on the day. Offensively, he turned the ball over a few times at critical stages in the game. Moving forward, he needs to get a better balance there and be more effective in choosing the right option at the right time. However in terms of what he is in the team for, he certainly played his role and ticked those boxes. Mitch is another first year player who continues to improve. He is learning really quickly and he is a good listener.

Doesn't sound like he's ready yet.

Just noticed Sam Frost listed on the bench for Casey in the Development League!

The very definition of pointless.

Not quite, at least we know he is alive.
