He's big boned, is all.

We'll have a lot of spots to fill anyway, Golden taking one shouldn't be an issue Sent from my SM-A515F using Tapatalk

Who said we can't develop players? 2024 Magarey Medalist. Sent from my SM-A515F using Tapatalk

DGB is a bust, why do you think Hawthorne are chasing Barrass (the good one) and Battle?

Ergo, we need pretty much everything, and Mass ticked a lot of those boxes. Why we didn't persist with him and maximise what he's good at, I'll never know. Particularly given we stuck by veterans that were never part of the premiership #17 and had poor skills. Many of us, me included, could see...

What's this Parish to Port Melbourne rumour? I could get on board

Yep, the need to remodel the backline is pretty clear, we need better ball users back there. No offense to the players I mentioned previously, they are/have been tough competitors for us but we can't have that many with poor disposal. Ridley is super important to us because he can defend...

How about this guy?

Not sure just doing the opposite of previous coaches is a sound strategy to success.

Agree. He'd also be better if he had good kicks around him, but we probably have the worst disposal back six in the comp: Kelly, Heppell, McKay, Laverde plus McGrath.

They can't all be like ROB: https://www.afl.com.au/news/988043/i-get-satisfaction-out-of-that-the-off-field-journey-driving-reliable-adelaide-crow-reilly-obrien Not sure it's anything like this, a bit of a beat up. You can probably tuck the pitchfork away for now.

This trade period is going to be our best and last chance to extract any value in Stringer (played all games, 42 goals, under contract). The current mix doesn't work, so a Stringer trade could be a win/win for us (picks) and him (longer contract, possibly with a challenger).

Agreed. We haven't had a good pretzel tosser since Goddard.

Geez, the pile on to an undersized KPD, who gives his all, albeit with limited skills, is pretty sad. There’s shit load more reasons for the loss than Mac Andrew’s last goal. The game should’ve been iced well before that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't know, they looked pretty together when they went for the same mark 30m out.

Well, that 'spud' has kicked our arse twice this season.

It was a repeat of the Crows game where Draper got outmarked by O'Brien on the wing for them to get the last goal. Today (and then), he just needed to bring it to ground, instead got out-marked by Collins twice. Add the two set shot misses and it was a disastrous last quarter for him. Not sure...

Bolton is the icing, we still need to bake the cake.

So I gather the hard lessons from last week and the fiery response aren’t on the cards? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wright's punishment was having to sit and watch the entire Crows car crash from the stand.

Selection the last 4 weeks or so seems like it's out of sync by one week. This week's side is the one we should've played last week and so on. Anyhow, l hate these games where we are favourites and should win, amps up both my stress levels and pessimism. Sent from my SM-A515F using Tapatalk

I agree. I didn't watch the second half live, but just watched it now. The run of goals in the 4th quarter that Melbourne got were built off poor execution/fumbles and they maximised on the errors, where we missed our chances until the last 10 minutes.

2 wins in our past 6 games, it's time for a freshen up/shake up. Setterfield for Perkins Roberts for Heppell Laverde for Kelly Davey (whichever brother is in better form) for Wright Cox (or Jones) to second ruck. Cox forward, Hind back, Martin to the wing. Stringer sub - not producing enough...

I’m watching the Wallabies play Wales, much more entertaining Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I hope Nate has another solid performance tonight, if he can keep the very good Melbourne defense honest and make a contest, that'd be a win. If he gets on top of his defender and lights it up, look out, lid off!
