A win, a draw or a loss by a point in which we score 138 points or more we see us finish 17th.

Anything else will see us 'win' the spoon.

We lack one extra tall down back and Mitchell isnt being tagged and is carving us up.....looks like a plan.... :)

Brad Dick's skills are Hampsonesque, this is shaping up as a shellacking.
We are $34 with the bookies, I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Tom Bell......... jeeeeezuz  Christ. Really good that he can find the ball but bloody hell it's hard to imagine a guy with less natural ability regarding disposal. Does not pressure the opposition at all. Just jogs when he should sprint. Sloppy half tackles that don't stick. Disposal stuff is one thing but the lack of intensity is so easy for him to fix but he clearly can't be bothered.

Holman I have been unsold but he's looking better and better all the time. Love the look of his left foot.

Triple M commentary team are the biggest bunch of deadset clogs I've ever heard.

Be nice if we manned up Mitchell but it is clear what is going on.

Some irony in Menzel failing to spot up the loose Walker, after years of Walker kicking high over the head of our leading targets to Betts outnumbered in the square..

I don't write him off but he's had a couple of years in the system and he's an in and under player.... seriously lift a weight once in a while.

Their continuos comments regarding Watson and his head size is bordering on abuse. Imagine if they picked on any Adam Goodes physical characteristics.

Good to see some intent, but lack of class is very evident. Will be last game for a few

Actually, reckon he'd be a good chance with 14 goals. Just has 13 to go in the 2nd half....lol.

At least you can't question the effort but our skills are appalling, we are looking at a genuine wooden spoon side here folks.

The bafoon who is the president of another club, with plenty of encouragement from Lyon and Frawley. Interestingly Commetti doesn't enter into the discussion.  Deadset juveniles.

Given our massive holes at FF and FB I think we'd be taking two Victorian KPPs. I'd be astounded if we didn't. Some have Parish ahead of Francis too.

Francis was outstanding in the National under 18. One game 11 intercept marks in defence, the next game kicked 4.5. Looked really physically strong against the men in the SANFL too. Jack Darling type right there.

Heavy build for his age, but only short, Francis could be another Watson in the making!

If they played against men we'd have a better idea!

Watson is a playing bereft of any confidence and can still pull off those good marks. We must persist for another year.

If we get those picks everyone claims we are getting he is cooked, even if he kick 20 in the remaining minutes of the last quarter!

It doesn't matter who we draft with our first pick, it will be a bloody good player but one player won't make any real difference, we've already seen what number one picks do when you stuff up the rest of the draft.
There are just too many spuds on our list, we need to start making our second and third round picks count instead of obsessing with one name no matter how good he is.

I think if he was able to be a genuine midfielder we'd take him. Given there have been doubts in that area I would be hesitant.

This and player development are our two greatest failings for more than a decade, and player development has gone backwards in the last few years.

Gunston and Darling type would be very helpful. Francis is a strong boy and touted as such. Jaksch will be alot better next year and will move forward.

Hope too Giles will be ready.

Hopefully 4 first round picks and the first one in the 2nd round will help......and we not stuff it up!
