Menzie, Hind & Laverde lucky to not be omitted, only because we don't have anyone capable of doing better than them

He was listed as concussion on the injury list. And I am assuming that he doesn't get re-injured on our training facilities.

We don't need 4 people trying to act as small forwards.

Menzie and Hind were run as small forwards for much of the Port game ... and stunk. They have been putrid 3 games running now.

Gresham played small, and kicked half our goals.

Davie yeah ... OK if the ball gets there. But he didn't play last week and the week before he got 6 touches in the VFL. But then again, Menzie got 4 touches and zero tackles for zero goals or goal assists and a howler miss... and he kept his spot.

And in response - The Dogs have gone tall in the backline ... Dropping Daniel and picking O'Donnell a 6'6" defender. Expect us to kick high into the forward 50 to try to battle this.

It will be the Port match all over again.

Weiderman as a possible late change does not fill me with hope.

Tsatas must be wondering whose cat he ran over.

Rumor is Tsatis has attitude issues.

That and he is the size of a midget compared to the others you highlight.

Yet another Dorodo special.
