Any chance of winning. We should start our best players in their rightful positions. So hopefully he does.
I give us a fair shot at winning this. Game will be played in the coaches box though. If we just come out and expect "the process" to beat them we're in trouble. Need to actually put some work into our opponent this week.
 
Umpires will be a factor of course.

Another rort incoming by Gil's puppets.

Hawks could not buy a free their previous game but won the free count against the home game Tigers.

Umps decided to swallow the HTB knowing how good we are at tackling.

I see through their charade.

Our forwards get SFA ,oppo forwards get the red Carpet ,the five star meal and the spa and after dinner mints after.

Disgraceful umpiring AGAIN.

#Let's Go boys!

Bakes and Dusty to tear the Dees a new one in their grand final.

Their turn to run the little leggies off with umpires patting them on the bum.


Balmey wants the Tiger Army to roar us home!

Do they have meetings where they make their weekly interpretation changes? Is it based on data? Is it like 'hey we only paid 50 htbs last week we need to tighten up on them' or 'FMD we paid 150 htbs last week! We need to relax lads'. I'd pay good money to see behind the iron umpiring curtain and hear what gets said around the traps. 'Chris Scott's mouth sure is soft'.
 
Given Jack Riewoldt is just not kicking goals recently (0,0,1,1,1 recently including against 2 bottom 3 teams) IMO he should be the selfless decoy/defensive role on one of Lever and May. Jack is not good enough anymore to be a number 1 KPF target, but because he's Jack Riewoldt his name will still command one of Lever or May as his opponent. Given that, his best value for the team would be to try and drag them away as much as possible from where we actually plan to kick the ball (e.g. decoy and dummy leads) and his sole focus should be just to not let his opponent mark the ball. E.g. every time he stops an intercept mark from either Lever or May, that's a huge win for us.

I don't know if Jack is capable of playing this role mentally or if he still thinks he's the main man, but it's clear as day he can't play that role anymore.
I think you are right but I don’t think that Jacks alone is the one to convince it’s Ben Miller and the rest of the team. Miller still positions himself between his opponents and the goals just like a good defender should Someone needs to tell him and the rest of the team that he is the number one forward target. At least if Bradke came in he would have that key forward mindset. It might take Jack missing from the forward line before these other guys get a real chance.

jack on 360 from what hes saying reckon he'll go on another year to see how it is with big sexy as the number one forward in 2024
You mean Jack has the choice?

Jeeze I dunno about him playing 2024 after the last 6 weeks performance

with big sexy back I'd give him another year . we got nobody else
 
hes still a more than capable third tall option. imagine him on the third best defender. damn sight better than a mcstay or whoever.
reckon chimp will retire and jack will play anothe year
 
If Short comes back into the team we should drop Grimes. Captain or not, he is by far our worst performing defender this year. I know it won’t happen so we’ll drop Banks after he had his best senior game. That would be shit!

Coulthard and Mansell should swap so Coulthard can have a full game to see what he can do. Mansell does well in the sub role.

Pickett v Cumberland
Ryan v Miller

That’s it. Could drop McIntosh but won’t happen and even though he does dumb shit his defensive running is too important especially with Ross occupying the other wing.

I agree re Banks should remain in the side for the rest of the year. I would be disappointed if we drop the kids.
