I'm curious about how a full pre-season will enable Sumner to get the ball. Fitness doesn't seem to be an issue as he is running as hard in the last quarter as the first, but he just doesn't get the pill. That puts more pressure on everyone else.

Lamb is much the same; a couple of cameos but generally doesn't do a lot. Thirteen goals is a better return than Sumner but not nearly enough from a designated small forward. I guess you could say that about all of our forwards, and midfielders for that matter

Maybe that's why he isn't getting enough as his fitness isn't there hence not getting to as many contests. Might get more runs in the midfield if he was fully fit.

A full pre-season helps everyone, as the lack of a one hinders both fitness and touch. You can bet he'd be way better off with full pre-season.

Sumner has played very little football owing to injuries and I concur that his trajectory is upwards if he can get a run at it.

I hope you're right Prof.

I'll cut him some slack for now too Prof. He shows some great glimpses but he does need to do it more often and hopefully he will be able to do that.

Sumners form has followed that of the team, downwards. He has shown more than enough and without repeating what others have said should be considered one of our few more promising up and coming midfielders

And good selections this week, hope Buckley and jacksh do well - both playing for their careers

Reckon Jaksch got the nod over Jones as he can go down back if needed.

Glad Bucks got the nod... and Charlie showed us at the beginning of the year that he can hack it in the seniors so, especially considering how thin the ranks are, why not bring him in. I'd almost be tempted to put Jaksch down back with Plowman and Rowe against their talls and give Weits and White the key forward's roles... just thoughts...

Good to see the inclusions as I will be going along and looking forward to seeing Charlie and getting a bit of a look at Jaksch, who just MUST grab this opportunity. Looking ominous for Jones, especially not being able to crack a gig even with Levi out.

Everitt is such a frustrating player. On talent alone he should easily be in our best 22 but he just lacks the application that should see him as one of the first picked every week. It probably frustrates him too. But if he cant get his act together we may be saying goodbye at the end of the season.

Great picks this week...we are choosing the player instead of the name.

Senior players finding it tough replaced with youth who should grab the opportunity with both hands.

Looking for effort and attitude lads!!

3 out of 5 in (JW, SOS and Charlie). Come on Macca and Cunners, make it 5 out of 5 by the end of the year.

The Eagles midfield is very strong, their tall forwards are a handful and they'll get plenty of supply.
It's a very weak Carlton side, I've got little confidence of getting within 40 points.

Funny but I'm a lot more optimistic about this game compared to last week.

I'm a bit the same Baggers but I'd be a lot more optimistic if we had named two key forwards

That's because last week was the same as the one that took on the pies the week before.....with the exception of Army that is...and look how that inclusion turned out.

What is it they say about insanity? Doing the same thing expecting different results?! Yup.

This week its large scale changes, albeit some forced, but required. With that brings optimism and potential changing of the cycle.
