I think Big O will miss a week, others fines.
Think Hawkins will also get a fine for jumper punch

Birch can come in and Ah Chee/Coleman out. I'd move coleman out probably, but I've overall liked his year but he's just a bit too in and out of games to hold his spot.
The real test will be what we do when Froggy and Dizzy are fit. Dizzy obviously comes straight back in, but the rest is a question mark. Payne's speed and athleticism offers more than Froggy but he doesn't have the experience or runs on the board.

Despite the best endeavours of the VFL commentators to write it off, Cameron SHOULD, repeat SHOULD, get at least 3 for that attempted cripple tackle on Neale. Typical of this proven thug. It was late, intended to injure, and probably did.
Also- could the Lions coaching personnel tape that nutcase Scott's rant on the Big O in the game before this. Whatever this headcase said did the job this time around at least. His best for quite some time. Thank you Scotty.
Last fixation point- can we please have boundary umpires who can meet KPI's 1, 2, 3 plus- ie, throw the pill in full distance.
Our best for some time. But please fix up the goalkicking.

As soon as I saw Robbo on your list I immediately thought of his fine from last week. It makes me smile.

Dizzy comes in for Adams. Clear upgrade
I am in no way seeing Birchall handle Dangerfield (or Ratugolea for that matter) like Payne did last night. Covering those guys just allowed the others to take natural match ups and helped the whole unit.
Where Birchall may have an edge is going forward where he gets involved in many more plays and takes the pressure off Rich. This is a valid argument but against Geelong I thought we actually moved the ball out of our backline better than we have all year.
Personally I would not be considering replacing Payne. Ah Chee only managed 2 disposals all night and generally was not given the big defensive match ups. I would have the pressure on him for his spot. I have come around to liking the flexibility he provides either forward or back but he has been played pretty much solely in the backline lately where he is not adding too much (at least offensively).
The rule doesn't care where you make contact.

from what Neale said after the game, he was tagged for the first 3 qtrs. With Zorko being the most highest rank player in the afl from r10-14... you let him roam free? by goodness.
A selfless game by Neale to do his job and work his way into the game while still getting back to his best (and then the injury last night too...)
I never know if Dev is tagging or just running with his opponent, but by golly that was a much better tagging match-up. (he was on Selwood right?)
recruiters will be kicking themselves. A masterstroke to manufacture him after he dropped so oddly
I like the form birchall has had in some games. It was probably the best thing for him to watch how freely we played and how Rich took those spearing attacking kicks. If he comes back in with that same mindset that will be great.

Has to be some force though
I thought Payne spent quite a bit of time around Rowan.
I think everyone likes Payne , where Payne and Adams are deceptive is that they both have very good closing pace for guys their size.
Ah Chee should be played forward imo.but whatever he's handy in the 22 because of his versatility.
Watch the replay and with a straight face say it didn't have force

Dizzy obviously plays if he's right Jackess but I wouldn't be taking bets on that dodgy shoulder this year. Hard to get any gauge on how it's going.
People seem a bit hard on Adams. I'm not judging him on what we've seen yet. He had a horrendous injury run , there could be a lot more improvement in him.

After seeing what Adams produced last night, "clear upgrade" is not a statement I'd agree with.
Adams was one of the best out there and matched up better with someone like Hawkins.

You've already dismissed Adams game from last night and calling for "clear upgrades", may be yours is worse than mine. Didn't you keep going about Dev's game last week and how it didn't qualify as good effort? On the same breath you are disputing one of the best games from Adams against someone whose injured and not even playing. Go figure.

Where did I question Devs effort? Where did I even mention how well Adams played last night?

Not going to dig through last week's thread and multiquote, waste of time.
You've mentioned Dizzy comes in for Adams as a clear upgrade, all I'm saying is not based on last night's effort.
Apropos of nothing in particular [and ignoring the strange and persistent negativity even when we convincingly beat a top ranker] pretty sure new recruit young [Lois] Lane walked near us along Stanley St. after the game last night, attracting no end of interest due to his size. Bloody hell, they breed 'em big these days.
Told my 10yo grandson when he's that big [and he may well be] then he'll get the same level [excuse the pun] of interest.

All I said was that it wasn’t the best example of what Dev is capable of and the complimentary posts were not in line with that game compared to others.
And based on last nights game Adams is all australian but he did that 2 years ago and played some very average footy in between. Dizzy is one of the best 3rd tall defenders and gets selected ahead of Adams every time (maybe not for the Hawkins matchup but every other time).

Bro, relax. No need to be a dick.
