I want to go to this game, anyone know when tickets will be on sale? Had a look on Tickrort but could not see any ticket information?

Need to keep the momentum going. As good as last week was, the disappointing aspect was that we were fighting for a finals /top 4 spot and we came out an played putrid footy against our biggest rival and team trying to steal our spot. We need to come out with ruthless agression this week, get the wins on the board and really make a push.

This team can achieve something special this year

Agreed, made worse by the fact it was Mills of all players we lost pre-bounce, which is where they got on top badly in the first quarter and a half. We've kinda built the midfield around him the last few weeks and so the structures, strategies and meetings the midfielders had would've been thrown out the window as their roles shifted slightly and a kid who was being heavily managed was added to the mix. It took a while, but I thought it was an extraordinary effort from Hickey, JPK, Parker and Hewett particularly to steady the ship and get their collective game going in those circumstances.

Bringing 2 guys in late shouldn’t affect the entire group like that. They wernt working hard and playing lazy. All the credit to them for turning it around, but there is no excuse for the lack of effort to start the game

If Bell is getting a pass mark it is a 50 and it was due to rounding

Somehow Bell managed to be our worst player on the ground against GWS, in a team that had two guys who had already played a game the day before.

I am not convinced by Ronke but I'd rather give him a go than have another game of being moderately pleased that Bell's managed to do the bare minimum.
 
Selectors have a dilemma for sure. The past 3 weeks have been every bit as good if not better than our first 3 weeks. Do they decide to drop what is working? We have been smashing it even without best 22 players in Warner and Reid.

On the other hand, we even put in Rowy and Stephens at the last minute for Mills and Cunningham and we still won. So I do expect them to eventually integrate Warner and Reid back in but won't be surprised if they remain unchanged for this game.

Think they'll be reluctant to bring back Warner & Reid without playing even a scratch match. Agree we should go in unchanged.
 
Not sure how far away he is but I'd be keen to bring in Ronke for Bell. He's been putting in some solid performances in the VFL and his defensive pressure should be a step up
He was the sub last week.

But dear god no. Ben Ronke needs to stay away from the firsts

I think we go in unchanged. Need to settle a bit after last week.
 
Stephens has never been given the run of games Bell has. And only now is Bell getting a pass mark.

I reckon Dyl would be making a significant impact if he’d had similar opportunities.


They play different roles. I agree players should be given consistent time at the level and Bell just happens to be lucky that perseverance with him is now reaping something. The other thing is if you are considering the two is Bell does not get thrown around like a rag dole. Watch Stephens closely in congestion and he is seriously limp.
