No chance we will make finals. Let's be realistic. Stringing together a few wins will in itself be a miracle, with the crape happening at the moment.

Young has to come in and play at full-back, he isn't much chop anywhere else.

Yes, Pittonet should be recalled to lighten the load around the ground and in the ball-ups.

As for Lemmey, how much longer can he remain on the list if he hasn't looked like gracing the seniors ?? We all need to know what we have with him so it's time to give him a chance because he will certainly stretch the young Kangaroo defence. 

I can see another change with a small coming in somewhere.

IN : Young, Lemmey, Pittonet, Boyd

OUT : McKay (inj), Kemp (inj), White, Williams 

By the way, 12 players contributed a mere 5 tackles between them against WCE (seven of them had zero tackles), that is completely & utterly unacceptable on every possible level. Do that against a higher ranked team and we will always come off second best.

I tend to agree with a lot of the criticism.
I also think, like a few of his team-mates, he's a little down on confidence.
Missing a year with injury is probably also a little bit harder to come back from at his age than when you're younger.
'Avoiding contact' is a thing you don't attach to Docherty at his best.
But as it comes for all of us, his best is behind him.

Does he still have something to offer?

I'm not sure just what is the best way to use him.
He's finding the ball.
He's gaining territory.
He gained 671 metres with his disposals last weekend.
That was the best of both teams and over 100metres more than the second best which was Zac Williams (which may tell a tale about territory vs impact)
Yep,
The problem  was that the territory gained was countered by disposal that saw the ball coming straight back the other way.

It's a dilemma.
It may be his best contribution would be as a "playing" assistant coach at VFL level.

Doc is well past his best and in his final year but FMD i wish we ripped into others on the list as much as this bloke.  Fans puts their arms around Harry and fair enough and also most support a highly paid bloke who cant control his drug habit yet no such going easy on Docherty who has heaps more runs on the board. I agree his last game last year and his 4 this year have been below standard but he is hardly on his own. How do the likes of McGovern's, Saad, Acres, Motlop, Williams, Haynes, Fogerty, Fantansa, Durdin, Young and i could go on get away with sub standard performances year after year?

That's one group of over rated footballers if ever ive seen one

And lets not forget our so called A grader 'Leaders' in Charlie, Cerra, Walsh and even Cripps who's salaries should have them being a lot more accountable for what they have provided us in 2025

I mean, that's not quite right. We won the 2nd half quite convincingly, on the back of a few things, which included adjustments and changes made by the coaches. It was of course too little too late, but there was a Plan B and it worked.
