My fleeting appearances should be considered my silent objection to Jerod Mayo.

Another fantastically incompetent display from the Pats coaching staff today. Kraft can't keep these inept muppets around, can he?

Is Bob man enough to admit his mistake in hiring this coaching staff and front office or, will it be more of the same next season?

Given the overall state of the list, where possible, West Coast should snap up every slider.

Drake Maye is the guy. The Pats need to surround him with as much talent as they can and, a better coaching staff.

The kid flashed serious potential against a very good defence. It's over to the FO to sort out the roster.

The Drake Maye era begins. Brissett's play made this inevitable. LFG.

Never underestimate the ability of a QB desperate team to mortgage their future for a so and so prospect.

Either we're historically bad or, the Pats are purposely tanking to 'earn' a top 3 pick and sell it for a king's ransom. I'll delude myself with that idea.

Starcevich erasing Papley was terrific viewing. In today's fantasy sports age, the art of defending can be beautiful.

Brisbane mauled Sydney at the coalface then got them on the outside. The more footy changes, the more it stays the same. It was shocking watching Longmire persist with midfield match ups that were clearly, being belted in the second quarter.

Kingsley didn't instruct Brent Daniels to try a miraculous mid-air soccer goal from a ridiculous play on advantage, nor did he tell Tom Green to try multiple blind overhead handballs to Brisbane players late in the game. He's done a fine job with the Giants.

If the coaching staff has some balls, Maye will be named the starter within a month. Jacoby is too big a handbrake for a team showing it wants to compete. Gremlins of seasons past crept in today. Blew a winnable game with bad decision-making, on and off the field.

Well, that's a pleasant surprise. Defence played as expected, run blocking was competent but, pass protection looks like it's going to be a major problem. Until that's solidified, I'm fine with Jacoby at QB. Well done Coach Mayo and team. Let's see how the next month unfolds.

What has McQualter proven other than being able to caretake coach one of the best teams in recent memory to a mediocre record? Richmond overlooked him favouring Yze to rebuild the Tigers. We're in a similar position. I'd be lying if I said Lade and Montgomery didn't interest me the most of the...

A quick look at their 2013 list suggests our current key position stocks are better whereas their small-medium fleet looks better. Hinkley's early Port squads had a lot of physical 'hard nut' types, something our list sorely lacks.

It's not unreasonable to state he's been a good coach but isn't the right hire for West Coast at the team's stage of development.

Seen enough of Drake Maye to realise he has that special it factor the best QBs have. I'm unsure on what to do with him this season, as our OL may be the worst in the league. Mayo isn't instilling confidence in me either.

I only ever considered Schofield a caretaker coach. I'd like an outside voice to come in. Hinkley didn't build their teams. That was Jason Cripps and Chris Davies.

Having read through countless Port Adelaide Sack Hinkley treads, it would be a mistake to hire Hinkley. The general consensus is he's underperformed with excellent teams, can't get over the hump in finals, is a poor tactical coach, and the team is under Carr's orders, with Hinkley being a...

West Coast should be scouting every State League for young, hungry, and up and coming coaches to populate the assistant ranks. To complement that, they'll also need to bring in some older, wiser heads to help develop them. People seem to forget, coaches don't have all the answers. Like the...

Chad Cornes played the intercept defender role long before McGovern did.

I'd hate to be a forward walking down to face a trio of Jakovich, McIntosh and McGovern. That mix would have been a sight to behold.

Jakovich, and it isn't close. I'll always pick the defender whose primary role is to stop his direct opponent. Few in the game have done it better than Jako did.

A football team should be building toward becoming a premiership contender or a premiership contender. After some early bright spots this season, Simpson's Eagles are neither. I had high hopes the Eagles early season gamestyle and intent would last. It hasn't, and they've reverted back to form...

Money well deserved. Barmore has turned into a beast.

I'll gladly take Baker turning into Steve Smith 2.0.

We can argue over the choice of players, but the team did what it needed to do this draft. Pairing Maye with Polk, Baker and Bell, given their abilities, feels a lot healthier than one or the other. It looks like Wolfe and co. are going after intelligent, competive and complementary pieces.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Pats double up at WR. There's quite a few attractive names left on the board. Another WR, grab an OT and CB and we'll move onto next year.

In isolation, picking Polk isn't the problem. It's picking another WR with a similar profile to 3 other WRs already in the room. We don't have a true outside threat.
