This line up does not commensurate with output
nor does it makes sense on a horses for courses strategy

Would have thougt that Bell's big body might have been handy on a heavy track?

Bell is crap
Agree, one or two good games to start, not good enough to go on and cope with being worked out. VFL player.

2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set
2024-Back to the drawing boardNo excuses, its time

I haven't seen mud on the MCG for nearly 20 years and the only way the ground will be wet is if it is actually raining during the game.

Finally taken a stand against Jeffy and Waite.
Our forward line looks a little weak though.
Hope Patty Cripps can havea great debut.
Dawes back for the Dees..... Watch him kick 5 and be the match winner!!!!
Agree. Clever by Roos to get Dawes ready for a soft opposition game. When he lines up against Rowe, it will be like a VFL game anyway.

FFS are we trying to lose this game?!?

Rowe and Lucas get a gig, WHY?

Tried, tested and found wanting on many occasions. 

What's the bet Cripps will get to wear the vest.

I've just about had it with this club.  >:(

Waite is also one of the few who will fly the flag for the boys.
What a white one?

We do have a few guys there who are lucky to be present: Thomas, Ellard, Robinson to mention just a few. I hope that these guys can take the hint and start playing some better footy, as Melbourne are probably seeing us as their best chance to win for perhaps the entire season. Nathan Jones is making noises about the 'Bruise Free Footy' of a couple of seasons back. Considering that he was one of the main offenders that night and that Robbo was talking about OUR effort, not theirs, but never ruin a good tale with a good dose of truth.
Still, we HAVE to take these cretins seriously, no matter how they played last week. After all, WE were pitiful last week too and are just as winless as they are. We must find some inspiration!
Live Long and Prosper!

I don't mind Lucas,  his early to mid part of last season kept us competitive on numerous occasions. What we lack is speed. Despite his soft body work he has run and youthful energy.

Rowe is probably playing because he's been playing to instructions.
Those that have missed have probably not.


Agree...made the bad mistake when he dropped a mark and the ball got cleaned up by the bombers for a goal but rucked ok
and a couple of handpasses resulted in scores. He isnt the future but probably tries to play to instructions better than some of the
other players and thats what Mick likes about him.
I think he plays his best footy in the ruck and is more useful than Warnock around the ground but dont want him anywhere near the backline.

Senior players had to go, Robbo uses up another life though.

Gotta play Robbo in the wet. The conditions will bring everyone else's disposal efficiency down to his level. ;)

Hope it's not too bruising for him. ;D
Reality always wins in the end.

Genius as work.

Only person who might have a chance of kicking a few and maybe getting some form back is omitted.
Excuses year 1, blame year 2, contract extention year 3........
