Thought Short was schizen in the centre bounces, didn’t get a touch in there and let Neale roam free numerous times. He wasn’t the only one in that boat, unable to stop Neale. Also disappointed with Balta, he had a couple of costly moments early on, then that last spoil. Prestia, we rely on him...

Hasn’t been the same since Buddy took him to the cleaners mid season. Future star, in a few years he will dominate. Shouldn’t have been picked, I would have liked to see Mansell

Agree with the above, Edwards gone in the coming weeks and moves into recruitment, Cotch to wrap up at the end of the season, Jack will push on for one more (when maybe he shouldn’t). Dusty to do a Buddy and get out of Melb. Dimma to follow in the next 12 months, unless he thinks we can win it.

Taranto is level above Hopper, therefore he is going to cost us more than Hopper in both picks and dollars. Be happy with either in our mid group. If a few of our old crew retire, the money will be there. Go after a young Key position tall, like Hayden McLean or Amartey at the swans, 197cm...

Has been a great of our club, but he is going out on a low note if this form Line continues (both team and player). At this rate, he is getting the Nathan Jones treatment, re they got him his 300th (and that was his last game). In saying that, they made him play some two’s footy before he did...

Yep, the winning goal was exact same move zurhaar did to him in the first qtr. to goal. Grimes sleeping at the wheel. Two weeks running he could have saved the game. Hats off to Cumberland and Sonsie.

Watched the last qtr again today, just for shits and giggles. Grimes had a Barry Crocker in the last qtr. George didn’t influence 5-6 contests he had in the last qtr, on top of that missed goal, so let’s see if he survives match selection, because he shouldn’t. I’m more surprised, that we were...

Dow injured ? On the bike at half time - never a great sign, hopefully a cork at best and not something worse. No spark last night, needed a Bolton or Balta to shine. Handful of wasted good opportunities on goals, in particular Baker, George and Parker and what could have been. What role is...

He will be playing for Southport against our reserves this week (they are a good shot for VFL flag)

... just on that 3 headed monster, thought the starting 6 fwds looked like a great combo: Jack, Lynch, Balta, Baker, Bolton and Shedda. Will be round 1 starting fwd line. Looking forward to seeing Cumberland breaking into the fwd line, as the season plays out, for that 7th fwd spot.

Without getting anyone in trouble, one degree of separation from the horses mouth, got the update this morning he will be a Tiger, just finalising the finer details.

Tarrant deal is almost done. Tiger Tarrant he will be.

Tarrant would be a great fit, forget his age, as he missed so much footy in his early years after being drafted. He is a Fitness freak, so you would back him in. You have to offer him 2 years to get him to leave and now is the time to go again with Jack, Cotch, Edwards, Grimes, Dusty etc getting...

Like Butler before him, have we rendered him useless by over coaching, structures, game style?? Was it his role the last year or so, just to take up space defensively so teams couldn’t switch, therefore he hardly got a touch but did his role. Agree with most above, 2 premierships So plenty of...

Just watching him at the ground v GWS, you can see he struggles to raise his arm above shoulder height, his range of movement is limited. Obviously it doesn’t stop him playing, but it would be restricting him.

Had to go. Clearly his shoulder is not right, give him some time to get it right.

I was at the ground and it was awful to watch the first half, slow frustrating football, allowing both teams to flood back to defend. We have stopped playing attacking footy, tapping the ball on, chaos kicks forward, swarming in packs etc. Instead we stop, look around, wait so the opposition can...

Being dropped might just ignite a rocket in some, as it looks like a few are in need of that. More so some of the forwards. No harm in giving a few others a crack at it such as Arts, Dow and Balta as we need some zip in the team and they will come in desperate to do the right thing. But i get...

I like the cut of his jib. Pick of the bunch for me - check back in 12 months to see how he is progressing.

broad use to get T Greene, so he could be given the job on Cameron. Rather Grimes be free to play his role as ‘Grimes stopper’.

take the 4 points, no injuries, move on. Thumbs up Prestia, Edwards, Graham, Grimes and Tigger. 100m penalty against Bolton may have cost him his spot when he was having a quiet day, silly stuff. Bring in Dusty and Cotch. Good luck working out who goes out.

He is in his prime, will be offered more coin elsewhere than what we can offer given our recent signings and contract changes to cotch, Jack & Rance. The afl podcast spoke about it this week, feel is that he will be elsewhere, which is fair enough, last opportunity for him to get decent coin...

looks like we have found a long term half back distributor who also goes in really hard - that’s a nice balance. I know there is talk, he will in time, play in the mids. However he addresses a future gap for when Houli retires. Great get by the club.

Going along nicely. Just needs to keep it simple re his distribution of the footy. His versatility to defend against talls and smalls is spot on and a great asset to have in the back group.

So we are in for a testing 4-6 week period. We have plenty of time to cut the deadwood and find some form for a strong second half of the year. Please though, swap George & Butler for Baker/Aarts & Bolton.

I try to go interstate each year to a different ground. Adelaide oval is a great experience, traditional atmosphere, walk to the ground is good. I’ve seen both a port game and crows game, i’d Give the port experience the nod over the crows. If you want to hear the players talking on the ground...

Fast forward 12 months and it will be interesting to see who rose to the Occassion and who hasn’t. Big 12 months for Markov, Menedue & Bolton. All of them would be in that 20-26 list range now, where they need a full preseason and take any opportunities presented to hold a position, otherwise...

Sounds like a ripping kid and a great selection late in the draft. Very bullish about his reviews, but mindful they drafted the other boys beforehand. Then again, that number means nothing now. Hope he turns out to be a late selection gem, as we’ve been pretty good at our late picks since 2014.

Interesting he went from captaining vic metro at u16 level to missing out on the champs altogether. Wonder if he played as under age in last years champs??
