Don't care about Motlop's form we must stick fat, Mitch Duncan says hello. :o

The MRP is becoming a parody of itself, fans of footy should tear down AFL House wherever it resides!

It's not Motlop it's the coaches that keep persisting with under performing players.
Motlop is a big talent though.

Ironic that Ward, who has had awful injuries and concussion issues has accepted his suspension to promote the cause, yet Duncan, from the Bilbies gets off.  Seems a bit selective from the MRO.  Again.

Agree with you Pinot, but he does need a week off to reset.  Plenty of blokes need a kick in the backside but there's nothing in the twos and our ultra conservative MC won't drop blokes or promote twos players.

Play LOB in the 22 or the VFL - he is not useful as a sub
Agree absolutely. He is an endurance runner, not a sprinter, so he doesn't get any advantage out of being the sub. Then there is his decision making, which is not good enough yet.
Live Long and Prosper!

Heeney would know nobody is going to out mark Charlie or BigH and be there at the feet of the marking contest pretty much every single time!

We all know that. Surely our smalls and coaches are well versed too. Yet!

Young has been out of form of late and struggled vs a rusty Membrey. Maybe some rucking might give him some more confidence as he is being pushed aside too easily in marking duels.
Matthew Lloyd said he watched Stkilda pre season and couldn't believe the hard running that Lyon put them through.
I do wonder given our injury woes that Russell and crew went light on the running  pre season and we are struggling for pace and endurance as a team.

We're likely to get Ben Mackay next year so young might have to get used to a 2nd ruck role, like he had at the Dogs/

Interesting that Toss Lyon's 2 players responsible for their spread (which swung the game, reduced the impact of our midfield dominance), got their top votes.

McKay is an interesting recruitment theory. Not sure how it's such a priority.

Ben could be a third defender/ruck.

It's clear these two don't want to play against each other as it hasn't happened in 8 years.  That must be some sort of record.

I agree though it shouldn't be a priority.   We could use him as a backup in case because tall durdin is an also ran, marchbank pulls the pin.  Would also join the infirmary and fit right in...

Sure. For Marchbank. Although we've managed without him for years sadly.
Ben certainly an upgrade on tall Durdin.

There's lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth on Carlton supporting social media this week.
There seems to be a lot more angst over this loss rather than the Adelaide one, which in my opinion was much worse.
One punter even suggested that we'd brought Walsh back to soon and he should go back to the reserves.
I think it was Ricky Gervais who said something along the lines of... "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone else is entitled to find those opinions F#ck$n ridiculous"

We're apparently a crap team with a crap coach who we need to replace.
Well if we're such a crap team with such a crap coach it reflects pretty poorly on St Kilda and their coach who were beaten in just about every key statistic and could only beat us by 22 points ;)
