Still need a ruckman to relieve Wood and he's the best we have.

Unfortunately that's where things stand atm. Maybe some hope ahead eventually with Kreuzer's return but I'm not banking on anything there. He won't be ready for NZ anyway.
Reality always wins in the end.

I know you're right but what a sorry state we're in.
The only thing in this world worth more than a hill of beans is the Carlton Football Club.

Nope, he turned over every single possession he had in the first half, not that he had many.
He's a liability.

At least he wins some possessions, more than you can say for Warnock. More physical presence too, eg, crashing the pack which led to Henderson's first yesterday.

The only reason Warnock should ever play for our football club again is to enhance his trade value, which currently sits at about zero.

Losing this and avoiding the wooden spoon is going to be an ask. No Yarran, No Gibbs.... Urgh.

The Saints move the ball quickly and are a fast squad. No Yarran kills our run out of defence. Could easily be 0-4 after this game.

The new tribunal rules should mean that Gibbs gets a fine; $1000 with a guilty plea.

Our biggest challenge will be to structure the forward line so that we can kick a winning score.  That will also require a change in how we bring the ball inside 50; long bombs to the pockets won't get the job done.

The game is not on free to air TV. I am very irritated about that.

The fact that it isn't FTA is disgraceful... did the AFL expect the members to fly to NZ to see the game?  How is the common person expected to follow their side under such circumstances???
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

MM is on the record as saying he wants Buckley to be a defender. Byrne is a defender, Docerty, Yarran defenders. Is there anyone with some pace who can crumb a goal and help to hold the ball in on the list that MM will play forward?

Not ready/not proven, given 1 game/failure at Dogs, defensive forward/slow, injured and/or out of form.

Boekhorst and Skittles have pace, but they too would fit that same category of not ready/proven.
