Couldn't watch the game, no internet here in Greece :(

Seemed like a very good win, Charlie absolutely dominating wow!

Could someone please tell me all the outs/injuries before, during and after the game? And what the likely time out would be? Thanks.
 
I hope we acknowledge how much Cotts brings to the team. His first game was absolute Shizenhousen equivalent to Kade Simpson. Just like Simmo he has developed into a very important team player.
 
Dow is a liability IMO. Makes the wrong decision too often and, even when he makes the right one, his distribution is often poor.
Dow is not a liability, he is our 6th or 7th best midfielder and performed his role extremely well today, do people really expect him to come in and replace Cripps or Cerra and have the same output as them ? I can tell you now it’s not going to happen.

If daicos and degoey were out of the pies side do you think they would expect finlay McRae to come in and replace their output?
Or if Oliver and petracca were out of Melbourne’s side should James Jordan come in and perform the same as them ?

People need to have some realistic expectations about what a teams 6th or 7th best midfielder is meant to provide Dow has bust his arse especially in the last 2 years and is providing exactly what we need from him whenever he has been given a chance.

Never once said that was my expectation. I solely said that he is a liability due to his ball use.

21 disposals @ 52% efficiency. 8 turnovers (turned it over every 2.5 disposals).

He can win the ball and do some flashy things, but then he gives it straight back to the opposition.

Dow is a great VFL player but he’ll never be a great or even good AFL player. If we play him next week against a quality opposition, he’ll do more harm than good.
 
Dow is a clearance machine. He has something.

Nice win, very disappointing second half. Hopefully we don't rue that come the end of the season.

Our strength and conditioning team is no good. We need a change at the end of the year.
 
12.5 wins is borderline, relies on some other results imo. 13.5 is a virtual lock.
There are so many 8 point games coming up that I don't think we need results to fall our way, 12.5 will be more than enough, provided we beat all of Saints, GWS and GCS.

Here's a ladder predictor which assumes we win those 3 and lose Collingwood and Melbourne. All other results go the way of the odds on favourite.

But agree, 13 win's and its a lock, would guarantee a home final as well.

Just hope we can lock it up by the gws game , or we need to win and they’re done for year

Jack Martin late out yesterday.

Jack Silvagni subbed out at quarter time with Jarred knee. Likely a week or two.

Sam Walsh out before half time with low grade hamstring. Likely a week or two depending on severity. Didn't seem too bad.

Jesse Motlop out with calf issue at 3QT. Likely out for a couple of weeks.
