Degoey not likely for the Pies and Mitchell also struggling to get up, if we can get some troops back and they lose a few key ones we should have no excuses and Im confident we can knock the Pies over given their form is only fair this season.

Mitchell has been a liability this season.  Losing him would probably help their chances.

I wonder if they’ll bite the bullet and drop Sidebottom 🤔 We’ll probably play him back into form.

Vossy’s response to our profligate play on Saturday suggests that our players will have a hard week.  It won’t be “bring your mouthguards” but there will be some honest feedback and clarification of roles and expectations.

Well at least five AFL listed players will front up in the VFL on Saturday,

Sam Durdin, Binns, Cincotta, the other two will be a toss up between Cunners, Owies, Fantasia and Durdin I personally think it will be Owies and Durdin but will see Thursday selection

Cincotta stiff not to be getting a game with players that are a liability at this stage. Never liked favouritism.

Just in case you thought that 50m penalty against Harry & Crippa made no sense, get a load of this for an explanation :

It's the vibe !!!!  
She talks about common sense, how about the umpire use some and think to himself: Hang on minute, Cripps is standing the mark but it should be Harry "Hey Harry, come back and stand on the mark please, Patrick clear off please". The umpire in that instance has to have the awareness that unintentionally, the wrong player is standing the mark and if he is so adamant to correct it, then farken correct it. Dont penalise the guy after he looks, sees his team mate standing then leaves to get out of the zone. Alternatively, let it slide and play on. Imbeciles (umpire, Football Boss and interviewer, not a brain between them).

Laura Kane might be very good at her job but she has no idea when it comes to explaining umpiring decisions.  She should delegate that part of her role to someone who understands footy.

As for the 50m penalty, Crippa was the closest player to where the mark was taken and Harry was a couple of metres away.  The umpire should have told Crippa to stand and Harry to move away.

Then there's the Henry mark.  Forgetting about the blatant push in the back that took Young out of the contest, the goal umpire's call was a behind.  The review footage provided a good view of the goal post but absolutely no vision of the ball and Henry.  The outcome had to be "umpire's call".
