For a team that has consistently lacked run and effort lately, i'm not sure why people feel the need to drop Ollie Hollands.

He gives 100%, 100% of the time. He is not the problem.

If we start dropping people based on output, how far down our team do we get before we get to Ollie Hollands.....and how far down are VFL team to do we get before we find a replacement.
I'll save the effort. There is nothing better below. Ollie stays.


Agree. Ollie is not a problem and while he is not perfect im far more concerned at the lack of defensive effort from the reigning coleman medalist.

He is lazy selfish and needs to improve that side of his game imo.

Whichever midfield wins their team wins this week.

Both teams have firepower in their respective 50 and so F50 entries this week is massive . Get it in there more then them and we should be able to score more and win this week. Sounds simplistic i know but i think the midfield is where this game will be won or lost.

We constantly look at who's missing as to the way to improve.

When martin is in and plays 2 average games we want him dropped. When his injured we want him back as another ‘dud’ is not performing. Rarely any team is injury free and apart from your high end top liners, injuries to players ranked below your top 10 are over rated imo.

If cripps weitering charlie harry are out its a big loss but when we start counting on a injury riddled blokes like martin marchbank mcgovern and even a young player like motlop to fix our problems we are kidding ourself.

Too much talk from last week and i was worried we would get ahead of ourselves which i think we did. Still not quite there with the big boys and a lot of work to do to be a genuine top 4 team. Was shown up tonight by a even professional outfit who don't rely on superstars but even contributors.

Rely too much on our big forwards and need more avenues to goal and a better spread as we are too predictable.

Not sure what voss was thinking playing the useless number 14. Serious wtf. I like voss but his persistence with a bloke that provides nothing is looking bad on many fronts imo. And starting kennedy as a sub was another call that smacks of arrogance.have another 2 hard matches ahead and play like tonight and we wont win either.

Feeling very flat after that one.
