Is there really any excuse for losing to this mob this weekend? I'm tipping 7 goals +.
Ignorance is bliss.

If somebody worked with him CIMM then somebody deserves some kudos for doing their bloody job... something that has not been apparent around the place in recent years.

Will be in a bit of trouble with Patton and Cameron up forward if Jamo cant make it.
Watson, I think, is no longer an option down there,. as he's just been plain embarrassing in his two AFL games this year.

Bit harsh writing Watson off on his 2 games this year. He was showing some really good signs at the end of last year before he got injured. He seems like a bit of a confidence player, as soon as he'd made a couple of mistakes on Friday night, he lost the plot. I'd like to see us give him a run of a few weeks, see if he can find some form.

I gave him up after one game.......probably  the worst game I have seen from a defender......Sam Stosur  doesnt commit as many unforced errors as Watto...
A lot of posters didnt go hard on him because there was some sadness in seeing the kid struggle and look so inept, I just dont see him being able to rebound after such a poor game.
Be a brave coach to play him this week, although the odds are he couldnt play any worse....


If we wrote off all of our players after 1 or 2 bad games well hell, we wouldn't have a starting 22. I think Mick needs to give him the same chance he's given other duds in the list. I mean he persevered with Lucas a long time before he was no longer a regular in the team. Tuohy has barely played a good game all year. It took Rowe a while to warm up this season.

I know Watson is a handy whipping boy, but at the end of the day he's played about 10 AFL games. Give the kid a run until the end of the season so at least we know whether to keep him on for the last year of his contract. At this stage we've got nothing to lose. Personally I still think he could turn into something.

Never deny anyone a good whipping  boy. They need something to make them feel good..lol!

Up to the end of 2013 he hadn't really put in a bad game in the seniors when he played. Did show something. Many forget that. This year his two games have been crap and re-opened people's perception of him.

Nice one MBB, but the adaptor on the barrel indicates that it's firing blanks  ;)

Well chosen then DJC wasn't it? I think it's quite apt.

From memory Roughy scored at least one of the goals late in the game in junk time and didn't look like getting on top of Rowe until the game was well and truly  over.. when the game was hot in the second and third quarters I thought Rowe more than matched him, which is really saying something considering the delivery Roughy got and the form he was currently in (eight last week).   I don't see how anybody could be less than happy with Rowe's effort.... it wasn't like he had a lot of help.. in fact he got ZERO, which makes his work even more laudable.

Yep exactly Professor. Roughy got touches when he went into the midfield too so those 14 or 15 possessions were not all on Rowe anyway then a goal in junk time as you said. Rowe didn't rip Roughy a new one - but that Rowe was so competitive (without Jamison) and zero backup/support winning many 1-on-1's against Roughy and others spoiling hard, being physical KPD and even taking some good marks (3 x contested) is a great result. Like I said, thought Rowe was superb so credit where it's due. Hard to see how not.

Let's also remember that Luke Livingstone ripped Lloyd a new one and Sporn took Hird to the cleaners. It may well have been a nice match up for him so I wouldn't put him down for a permanent spot and the end of our KPD woes but it's encouraging

Yep and not sure anyone is saying anything different to that.

Credit where credit's due. Gotta acknowledge that. He's got a way to go though.

Rowe's shown more as a KPD already than blokes like Livingston, Sporn, Bower, Hartlett, Watson, McCarthy and the like. Not a highly impressive bunch though. Like I said, he's got a way to go but handy thus far and seems to be noticeably improving each week IMO.

Rowe has been solid for a few weeks now, this was hardly a one off.

The noticeable improvement is encouraging and I enjoyed watching his game on Roughy.

Jamo on radio last night declared both he and Hendo certain starters this weekend. Surely that means the end for White? Other obvious choice being everyone's best friend Watto. :P

Watson will go out, replaced by Jamo.
Hendo may be fit, but with his present (lack of) form he may well start in the VFL. He needs some work: it is what he gets for not having a preseason. Robbo is a fair chance to start at FF if Hendo does not come in: he did a pretty good job there against Hawthorn, with Judd taking his spot in the midfield.

It will be interesting to see if Graham holds his spot: he could well do with some senior game time. The other question is Cachia, who surely deserves a senior game. He has been dominating the VFL, but an we afford to play him when we have other slowish mids like Carrots and Broke (and Graham)?

Do we give Blaine Johnson a go? I wouldn't mind if we did. He has probably done enough to deserve a game. But who to go out?
Live Long and Prosper!
