For the love of everything that is good and holy I hope this is the last time I see three small forwards on the bench.

You can’t have too many small forwards … when they’re part of the midfield rotations and playing the high half forward role.

Apart from pretending that TDK is a key forward, that’s a well-balanced line up.

Nine goals in a match as a 17yo for Dandenong Stingrays perhaps suggests that Tom is yet to show us his real potential as a key forward.

A smaller defender who can kick and defend (or at least stay in the same postcode) as his opponent would help.  Charleston, Boyd....oh, I forgot, Boyd isn't in the mates club so it will be the same old hacks making the same old errors and half arsed efforts against Freo.

Probably posted the following in the wrong spot, so here again: -

Can't understand why we have not been playing Jordan Boyd.  Regularly among our best in the VFL team.
Competitive, combative, can pass the ball to forwards.
Would be playing him on the wing (where he played his first AFL game) instead of Acres, or playing him back pocket with Matt Carroll on the wing.

Article on AFL site is headed " Charlie's 'staggering' slump"  

Yes he is obviously in  a form slump, but what forward wouldn't be if most times he went to mark the ball it was kicked on his head and he had 2-3 defenders endeavouring  to out muscle him.   When Harry McKay was playing he probably took the other's best defender away.  We all need to give Charlie some slack, yes makes some dumb decisions, but probably carrying injuries so not peak fitness..  
He needs another big forward playing down there to attract a defender away imo. We haven't O'Keeffe at the moment, so coaches "come on down Harry Lemmey".
