Not laughing at you Thry, but autocorrect does at times throw up some beauties.

Last post by crashlander -The pitch in Darwin is usually slow and low, which doesn't suit of side at all.
One spinner: Lyon
4 pace men: Boland, Starc, Hazelwood & Cummins
That doesn't sound like horses for courses to me.

Last post by laj -Impressive stats all round.
Moir's only kicked multiple goals on three occasions in his 13 games...including one where he kicked 4
That's what we need to see 3-4 goals a game to make up for the missing moments.
He doesn't have to do it every game but at least on a regular basis.
Ison hasn't kicked 2 in a game yet.
Worse than that, Ison has kicked 3.10. We have enough poor kicks in the team already.
Moir....15.7 over his career.
For a bloke who is no good and goes missing far too often, his numbers still stack up against some other 'favourites' who get more of a gig.
Without Harry.....who is going to cause more damage up forward? Moir or Ison??
If that who we are choosing between.....is it a choice?

Last post by laj -I've been wanting to see Derksen forward since he joined us, and I also noticed that he had a run up there at the end of the Collingwood game.
It needs to be an extended run though if we're really to see if it has merit.
The absence of Weitering complicates things a bit though, and we may not have the luxury,
Derksen has had good results up forward at the lower level both at GWS and the couple of times with us, where he has 8 goals apparently, 5.2 in one game.
As long as we win Saturday, then game two weeks after becomes huge. Could be the wildcard before the wildcard against the Saints as I'm not tipping us to beat Brisbane. I do see an opening against Freo last game, who might put the cue in the rack a little given they'd have top sewn up. Not tipping us though, so best be beating GC, St.Kilda and the Dogs.

Last post by laj -Sounds good!
Derksen has kicked 8.3 for us in the Magoos despite playing mostly in defence. He kicked 55.25 playing for the Giants reserves and, unless he kicked a lot out of bounds, he would be a more reliable kick for goal than most of our forwards.
