After 5 years !!   Shown nothing, does nothing, worth nothing.  Fraud and dud.  IMO of course  

The 5 years is deceptive. He's played less than 2 seasons of actual games. I think he's shown enough to be given the BOD for now.

I'm more than aware of his injury run.  Just as you are with his chances.  He is free to a good home.

We don't want to win. Otherwise we would have chosen a different line-up.

IN: Murphy, Setterfield, Newman
OUT: Gibbons, Newnes, SPS, Silvagni (conc).

EMG: TDK, Newnes, Gibbons, Honey

SPS officially playing 2's.

No TDK is something i cannot understand.
Casboult must have naked pics of Teague or something.
Newnes or Gibbons would make a good sub.

Don't mind the in's.

Provided we play Setterfield as an inside mid like we did for the back half of 2020 and not as a Wing/Half Back Flanker like we have 2021.   Smashed in the middle last week.

Can't understand why Levi on one leg and Zac Williams are in.   Hopefully TDK is a late in.

Im over the excuses, we have been patient enough. Unless we want to accept mediocrity Dow Kennedy LOB and setterfield will all be gone at seasons end.   Look at Parks, Owies and Fogarty and I would add stocker to that list too. From day one they showed the grunt and desire needed at the top level. That’s the recipe to improve our list not using the same tried and tested blokes and watching them
week in week out producing the same below par level.

No TDK? not sure what is going on

Murphy straight back,

We’re taking the p155

Read Daniel O'Keefe's review from last week's VFL game.  Tom needs another couple of games to get up to speed, particularly with his transition between offence and defence.

Geez that’s a pretty high standard they are setting.  Obviously the club had different standards for different players.
Casboults bar must be an inch off the ground.

The Pitt and Casboult show is going so well we don’t need TDk - quite incredibly, in the mind of our MC he’s surplus to our requirements!
Mind boggling, the only explanation is they are counting this as a loss and giving him more time in the 2s. I would have thought it was the perfect game for him to work with Pitto against Gawn.

Melbourne by 4 goals.
Yes 4-5 goals is about right.

Can I just add, I know he's been out of form and he cops it a lot but congratulations to Levi on 150 games. A player who has been battered from pillar to post and has given his absolute all for our club, loved by his team mates and supporters in general. Just goes about his business, trains hard and prepares as well as anyone.
Go get em Meat.

Setterfield is an injured, fringe version of Bryce Gibbs. Similar height, similar weight, similar profile. Nice ball user, looks laconic, and therefore attracts the same criticisms as Bryce. Ostensibly an inside/outside mid, he ends up being deployed as a fixer / utility, played wherever it suits the team, and this, in combination with injuries, means his AFL life can be summarised in one word : unsettled. He was a building some nice momentum in 2019 and 2020. We won't know if he can take the next step by playing him in the magoos. This is the season to find out IMO.

Yes agreed, fans have very short memories.

It's interestingly to me why with some players fans forget the good yet remember the bad, while other players get the inverse treatment. At best it makes the commentary by fans arbitrary and inconsistent, at worst they seem blatantly biased!
