EB I would drop a dozen with ease from last's s-show.
I would too but sending too many  kids into battle usually doesn't end well but we probably can't do any worse.
Nope, nothing could be a lot worse than last night. Send them in with no expectation but being clear about giving them a taste of AFL football. Hungry dogs hunt best, I stand by that saying, our senior blokes aren't hungry.

I didn't watch any of the game as I had to hand out the trophies at my cricket club's presentation night.

However, I have read a fair bit online about the match and it appears there were no trophies to be handed out there.

I can only summise that we are genuinely tanking and my reasoning is as folows.

If we can finish last, we can bid on the Port Adelaide kid, get matched by the Power and get that extra bonus pick at the end of the first round. Then we can take the best key position player with our next attempt. After that, if anyone bids on Walker, we can use the bonus pick as part of the collateral to match the bid.

In other words, we are going to try and get two young guys instead of one.

Furthermore, why has Hewett been dropped to the seconds and not recalled ??

Because he is providing genuine leadership to the young guys down there and they will not be promoted to the seniors as the selectors want to keep the next batch of youngster away from the toxicity the senior players.

Yes, it's quite a fanciful theory but its the only way I can understand the utterly woeful onfield efforts we are seeing right now.

5 minutes into the 3rd up by 3 goals, an angry Jack stood up to Cripps grabbed his guernsey gave him a mouthful, team mate helps Jack gives Cripps a shove. Harry just stands there like a stuffed dummy.
All downhill from there.
Harry is the biggest pussycat in footy. He scares no one.


He should not be playing a contact sport - the bloke is absolutely weak as p1ss.

Mentally weak physically has nothing to give.

May struggle to get more then an early second rounder for him.

And Cripps is done - only good for tv commercials. Frustrated slow no leadership and poor kicking skills. He just cant impact.

And again no significant moves made when the game was changing - nothing. we have lost 6 out of 7 games the same way yet still nothing from the coaches bocx to even attempt to halt it. every other team has a coaching box that makes moves when the game is getting away not out man he stares at the lap top with and expressionless look on his face.

The list has holes but is given zero from outside the boundary line. They have turned an average list into one that will be 1-11 by round 12.

Playing our best player from last year in the 2nds while we sit in 16th all while frauds like Cerra get game after game is more evidence its not just the list that need massive change.

Will Dean get rubbed out for that push? Hes young he should t have done it, but gee he plays with some vigour 💪🏼

I'm not sure if it was from that effort, but he did injure himself.

He might say it was a reaction to him injuring himself at the same exact moment and not an intentional act.
Either way, he isn't playing next week.
