Will kick 9 behinds
Cash in advancescoops has invited me on his podcast![]()
Ben Mckay has put his hand up to play forward this week...
didn't you pile shit on me for a tongue in cheek comment about giving up? It's unlike you to be a hypocritical dick.Who cares, ive given up. Second match of the year i’ll be at, dont know why I bother.
Outs: me
Ins: who gives a *
I like the idea of big Free getting a game. He could hide Spicer in his shorts and unleash him near the ball.
Think about that for a second
What is going on with Lachie Young?
Yep another forward we will play into form, Daniher King etcAnother bloodbath incoming. Calling it now, Tim membrey will kick a bag
Other than that, he is close to selectionLacks the precision footskills, tough body, footy smarts and high endurance required for senior selection.

Goater is out for 5 with a hammyI haven't really posted here in years (hence the display pic..) but I am just begging for one thing. It's the same as all of you. I just want a coach to actually send a message and make mass changes. PLEASE, drop 7-8 players and play some of the guys wasting away in the VFL to see if they have a future. I think we all agree there is no point paying hall, turner, howe (shiels is an exception as hes been recruited for stability and leadership and hes been great all year).
Out:
Powell (inj), Comben (inj), CCJ (inj), Howe, Turner, Hall, Scott
In:
Greenwood, Drury, Goater, Bergman, LDU, Phillips + someone else
Yes I am aware that we cannot play bonar/corr/young/logue/mckay together - thats another puzzle
Yes our co captain mcdonald is being torched most weeks, unsure what to do there
And why are we not using dawson at all, if we dont use him at all, assume he is going to be delisted like edwards?

Now is the time we find out if Clarko is true to his word and start playing more kids...Bergman for 1 must be selected as well as Drury and Phillips....
Outs: Comben, CCJ, Powell (all inj) Turner, Taylor
Ins: LDU, Mahony, Ford, Free, Greenwood.
Philips to be the sub.
Bergman and Young to miss out from the extended bench.

That's 5 out and 4 in, there's room for Phillips.I am probably overly optimistic, but I don't think it's as doom and gloom as the last 4 weeks scores have indicated. Ever since the Hawthorn loss we have been exposed by teams posessing the ball with short kicks and we have been exposed on turnover meaning our defensive setup hasnt been right. On the plus side in 3 of those four losses including last week we have had over 50 inside 50's which is enough to kick a winning score, so we are winning our share of the ball.
Personally i think we need to
- Cut down on turnovers
- Settle the back 6. We need to play McKay, Corr, Louge, L Mac, Zibes and Sheez for the next month at least and let them sort it out. I'd throw in Bergs as the 7th defender.
- We need more pressure in the front half, it's been a problem for 4 years and its still there.
so my changes would be:
In - Bergman, Drury, LDU, Greenwood (play fwd)
Out - Hall, Comben, Turner, Powell, CCJ
If LDU isn't fit then Phillips would come in.
Just checking your board for SC purposes, but god damn is this comment not 100% spot on about the Eagles right now too. I could just switch out the names, post this on our board and watch the likes roll in.I can actually kind of tolerate Howe tbh. He has no future with us but I see Turner and Hall as being more immediately detrimental to the team, and Bergman and Drury seem like relatively easy switches to make. There's just so much uphill work to do. You replace the bottom few players in the team and then the next bottom few players really aren't much better. But first we have to replace the injured players lmao. Pain. I'd like to see both Hall and Turner dropped but if we already have 3 out due to injury I'm not sure how likely it is given Clarko made it sound like he'd prefer to incrementally add kids to the team rather than full on rip the bandaid. Really hoping that JZ pulled up fine, I suspect he will considering just how influential he was after he came back on but you never know with these things.
