The Blues play on Sunday at 1200 at Carlton. I'd be happier with a few more players available, especially after our capitulation to Frankston.

Some new names this week. I have no idea how many of these guys played last week. However, there are a number of changes compared to the list for the Frankston game.
Amazing how we lack support in the AFL / VFL media, watching today you get the feeling the commentators are barracking for Sandringham. Then you find out the VFL commentary is loaded with Ex. St Kevin's people, and Sandringham is loaded with St Kevin's old boys.
VFL loaded with St Kevin's people, AFL loaded with CheatsFC people, it makes it very hard to get unbiased commentary!
Akuie (?sp) has no spacial awareness. Costing goals.
Are they managing Marchbank's minutes, haven't seen much of him in the second half

Haven’t seen him in 2nd half

Another week another tall option down.
Its almost groundhog day at the good ship pp
Trudgeon put him on the list. Consistently a 7 tackle 7 clearance player

Very ordinary ball use and disposal, a little slow by AFL standards.

Other knee a touch sore. They're not too worried though, just precautionary.
I'm on to it today. Went to watch the stream only to find it is over and we lost by 4pts....lol.
Marchbank had 16 touches and 7 marks in his half.
Mrs just told me apparently Marchbank has done his other knee. Suspected ACL.

hmm ? He is always in and under,

I don't judge them on rush disposal from the inside, it's a comment about how he reliably chooses and hits targets from being in the open.

He is highly reliable by foot and hand. I think I just have a soft spot for young tough players that consistently get 7 tackles and 7 clearances per game. They are not easy to find.

I got this after the game.
Hopefully it is just a bit of soreness.
He'd be a huge asset if fit.
....but if it is an ACL then that must be the end.
We can't afford a spot on the list for sentiment.

Why am I not surprised.

7 News just said he is perfectly ok. Just got a knock on the knee and off as a precaution.

Thats Marchbank code for 8mths out.

I believe Mrs Thryleon may be wrong … just this once 😇
I hope she is anyway; Caleb needs some luck to go his way.
Mirkov injuried
It was like watching a giraffe do a fetlock. Here’s hoping it’s nothing worse than a mild sprain.
Great first qtr, then fell asleep until well into the final qtr when some intensity returned!
Worried about Kemp, seems to be playing without confidence. Not playing with his usual dash and dare.
How does a midfielder, Dow, get through an entire game without laying one tackle! ::)
Liked the games of Boyd and Willo.
Setters still doing too much 'kick and hope'... handing it back to the opposition.
Marchbank good until the knock on his knee. Coming along nicely.
Baggers...unfortunately Setterfield does that at AFL level far too often as well....he's been overtaken now by the likes of Carroll, O'Brien, Cottrell. Read somewhere the club is still looking at an outside mid in the trade period which would spell the end for Setterfield.

I wasnt brave enough to argue differently. In fairness to Marchy, if the diagnsosis is a bad knee injury, its a good week to find out, because it gives us another spot in the mid season draft to audition a longer term option.

What is Dow's tackling rate generally? He got 31 touches and kicked 2.1, had a great game but needs to tackle too.
I think we should train up boyd to be stronger and fitter to play mid 2023 and trade Dow (not 1 tackle) disgrace.
