Bad luck about Jack, surprising call up with Lang just always seemed to be battling physically in games which possibly could have been eating away with his confidence... Like a few have posted, his game was poor in a physical sense that he seemed to apply not much of the pressure acts he was in the team for, many of his games we’re pretty average ... Seems his selection might be on the back of him finally being totally injury free and showing it in training, if that’s the case good luck to him and if he can play his role for us well then that’s a bonus for the club... would have loved one of Willo or Philp as the ins...

I don’t rate Lang much at all but whoever we brought in would be expected to play forward and he is probably the best of the lot at that.

Tell me about it. Would rather us give one of the younger blokes a chance.

personally think kennedy a better option if that is the case.
Not sure what they see in Lang.To me he along with Polson are our deck chairs.Surely Kennedy or Willo should’ve got a run.

For Philip to come in, and us still play a balanced side, one of Cuningham, Martin or Betts would most likely have to be omitted.
Gibbons and Newnes are part of our midfield rotation, and I expect Lang might be too (just as JSOS occasionally is). Again, he’s almost certainly going to be our defensive forward. It’s waste having Martin or DC in that role.
Philip and Kennedy would be annihilated by Lever. Remember, in form he’s close to the best intercept rebounder in the league.
Williamson is a Wingman/HBF. His time will come. I’d rather he play in his natural position than be shoe-horned into the team.
this is close to the most balanced line-up we’ve had in years.

Is there any truth in the rumour he fumbled the pen two or three times before he was able to put pen to paper?
Too harsh?

Wash your hands son!!!
Lang tackles, can play mid and crumb a goal. He has never had a run at it due to injury...so I am ok with it
Give it a month before you make that statement...it is 1 player willo
I don't mind Lang's inclusion....pressure forward for pressure forward. It does show how valuable Jack has now become in our side though.
Not sure right now if there's a need to bring in a player like Philp or Willo at this late stage, if we need to shuffle our side around to accomodate.
I'm more than happy to give Lang the chance....who knows, he may even perform his role.

I hope we don’t sit off or second guess our man tomorrow. Know where he is going and commit . Synergy.

Gov, Harry, and Cas are already tall and we could potentially rest Cripps forward when he needs a break.
With Martin and Betts already in the forward line I think it will help Langs game.
Get him delivering the footy, his disposal can be good. We just haven’t seen it in navy
We have some serious run and decent speed in this named 22

What an absolute drumming. Best hawk is T.Mitchell with 22 no impact possessions
Teague continues to show he will play more experienced players, compete contrast to Bolton
At some stage we need to play best available/ middle ground
Having said that, don't mind the lineup

What happened to the 5 year plan and rebuild. Now we're playing recycled players like Newnes & Lang? Limited youth coming through or given opportunity is a big concern in the long term. No way did Lang deserve a game. Done nothing in three years. What happens if we lose this week? Cats in Geelong next week. Do we start playing the kids? What is the club strategy for our next premiership?
