I would not be against bleeding Harry back into the best 22 via the Sub this week. Been in cracking form since he returned. Have him come in on reduced minutes on a wide oval and just tell him to find the pill and be creative. I like Ned as the sub, but would play Harry over him literally every...

Is Will Haywards reported free agent contract value a case of Supply/Demand gone into hyperdrive? I get you pay a premium for Free agents, but $850k /year for a 3rd of 4th medium tall option in a forward line seems like a highly extravagant bit if list management. TBH I feel like we've seen...

Sucks, I've loved the Tandem of Max and Josh as the non key position defenders. I really hope Dan gets a block now. Start him as an 3rd tall interceptor and let him roam/get confidence at the level. He looks flustered right now, but I'd prefer to let him get his teething block in while we have...

So does Worrell going down mean Curtin stays in now?

If Ned was the Perma-Sub to conclude this season, i'm not convinced his season averages would change in the slightest.

That's what I'm hoping. It's only fair

Have to admit, Dan Curtin is getting a surprisingly good deal in this debut game. He'll not take either KPF (Marshall and Dixon) with Butts and Keane in the side. Worrell will likely take Georgiades or the resting ruck. He's most likely gonna be left to be a 197cm roaming intercept defender who...

Still think Rozee might be a late out. If he was a Crow I wouldn't want to play our star mid after a 6 day hamstring into a Showdown on a cold night. If he does play i wouldn't be surprised if he re-pings it before half time

I think McHenry is a great Sub option. He comes on when the game has slowed down with rampant energy. Seems to get way more of the ball in that situation as well. He's just never had that kind of impact over 4 quarters. TBH sometimes he gets more touches in 1 quarter as a sub then he does in 4...

Yeah, i'm not resting Walker this week. He needs a few lay-up games to kick his season/confidence into high gear IMO. I don't feel like he's come close to Peak Tex yet, (and he's still our best key forward, sheesh). The Roos defense is about as much of a layup as it gets at AFL level. 18th for...

Do we think we will get some coverage on Sheezel this game? Or let him rack up 45 touches off the HB line without an opponent? If we insist on keeping Ned in the side (which I do not), maybe its time we actually gave him a role. If not him, than Keays, but i'd prefer to give the role to someone...

TBH he's been dump kicking for years. But its the panic in his eyes that's new for Brodie. The look of someone that has lost all trust in his ability at the top level. Like him or not, he's always been a supremely confident player, even as a youngster he played without any hesitation, and never...

Yeah, and I feel like he's getting to a lot of contests. Just can not clunk them to save himself right now. Sometimes its barely a contested situation and he still turfs them. When ROBs on he's taking those marks, so regardless of his tapwork, for me he's out of form!

Any chance ROB gets a week to remember how to take a contested mark? Not joking, last time we dropped him he responded with a dominant game in the Magoo's. I think he needs a serious kick up the keester to get his season started!
