Should have lost to Essendon and Geelong were ripped off.
Could easily of lost one or both.
Anyway…back onto this weeks game, this will be my second trip to Marvel this year after watching us fall apart against the saints in round 8, that night was horrendous to witness as we were toyed with by the saints. Thankfully we’ve turned it around to now be hunting teams.
Injuries aside I’d run with the same line up, Ison  was a mile off it last week but has a touch of class that we desperately need so I’d keep him in. Fingers crossed for a happier trip to Marvel this week.

Hmm - what a tedious game to sit through!  The phone thing they did pre-game was pretty cool - may not have translated to to TV that well.

Being at the game with no commentary or many replays confirms that it is hard to know what is an isn't a free kick - particularly centre square and stand rule.

We went back to long bomb to forward line, or having an unrealistic shot - it was so frustrating.  Essendon seemed to take more contested marks, however, we were slightly calmer and less error prone under little pressure.

This was one of the worst games I have seen for a long time and may it stay that way.  We got 4 points.
I went to the St Kilda game and we were woeful on that night, marginally better last night albeit against much weaker opposition. Let’s hope it was a let down from the Geelong game as we’ll need to be much better against GWS in 2 weeks.

I like Heyward's mongrel but not the stupidity that yet again led to a dopey free kick for a late bump.

I was impressed by Derksen's offensive contributions; he offers much more in that area than Lewis Young's indecisiveness but, unfortunately he is 5 or 6 cm shorter and is something of a liability overhead.

Good to see Acres and Hewitt back in form and favour.
Derksen’s kicking was a liability last night, he’ll need to clean this up if he wants to establish himself.

It's a game we should win comfortably but for some reason I feel edgy. Think i'm just mentally scarred after all these years.

I too are not comfortable at all about tonight's game, complacency may bring us undone.
We have no reason to to be complacent, surely we come out hard tonight.

Others won't like it but I don't mind dropping this match and looking at the big picture ie draft time. I'd have played a couple more kids...
Don’t know that we need to drop a few in order to lose this match, Cats are going as good as any team at the moment and we’ll need to get everything right in order to win this one.

I don't mind holding the kids back a little in a game like this.
So while BenC and Charleson should get an opportunity soon, it's probably not a game for first gamers with number of other inexperienced guys playing.
This will be difficult.
We have matched up well in the past but they're going as well as anyone.
Agree Lods, we’ve got enough kids playing at the moment all of whom have earnt the right to play, we shouldn’t be compromising our chances to win with special look at in be selections.

Blake Acres deserves a chance if we’re serious about winning.
Campo on his home deck would have to be chance as well.
Probably, Flynn Young also needs a game at some level as he didn’t play last week. Not a direct replacement for Hollands hence why Acres will probably play, maybe in place of Evans although won’t provide the same level of pressure.
