Crumbs, crumbs, and more CRUUUUUMBS!!

Need to consider an opportunist forward crumber that can sneak a few saveloys from the ol’ butchery shop!

Jye Menzie looked solid in that space on the weekend in the Veefa. Must consider promotion for Pedro in my swashbuckling opinion.

Not sure the axemus will fall much for this week. Many calling for Perko to get the choppo, but I’d stick by him and give him a free running role rather than trying to contain and nully the oppo.

Whispers that Calders has injured a calf. If so… then Hobby to come straight in as a replacement.

Maybe Laverde in for Hepps? But I think Dyso has had a more consistent year overall.

It can rain all it likes on Friday.

Word is Wright is to be dropped for Goldstein and Hobbs to come in (though no word about who will go out).

As Scott said on Saturday after the loss ... there is little point selecting a side for rainy and slippery conditions ... given 4 out of the next 5 games is under the roof at Docklands. I do hope that if we do get into finals, it would be held at Docklands... we might have a chance of winning a final then.

I'd simply prefer we get a forwardline mix that works and that we also get delivery into the forward 50 ... that
1. is more towards the center than the boundary;
2. honors leads with kicks at chest height rather than 3-4m into the air; and
3. shows signs that the kicker actually engaged their brain.

Yes, wouldn't this be nice?! You hit the nail right on the head.

In: Jayden Laverde, Todd Goldstein, Jye Menzie
Out: Nick Hind (Omitted), Peter Wright (Omitted), Dyson Heppell (Omitted)

I don't know what Cox, Perkins and Jones have to do to get the chop.

Wright and Heppell fair enough as omissions... but Hind? Hind didn't cost the game.

The fact that Perkins keeps his spot and Hobbs didn’t get picked is absolutely bonkers

hind has been the sub the past 2 weeks. they might want him to get a full 4qtrs in.

There is no VFL game for us this week. We have the bye.

That makes it even more confusing.

Gee Docklands hides a multiplicity of our sins.

Even so - Menzie kicks a high ball to Goldstein in the F50 when he is double teamed (Goldstein as a forward - OMG).

We are getting flogged. Adelaide has kicked 9 unanswered goals in 16 minutes.

Caldwell is clearly injured and playing like it.... save the last 5 minutes.

Stringer and Gresham having shockers.

Jones kicks 2 goals in the first 10 minutes and say's "I'm done for the day".

Menzie has added nothing to the team. He hasn't touched it in the second quarter.

Goldstein/Draper 2-ruck strategy has been a failure. Goldstein 2 HB in a half and Draper has had 6 touches.

Very Quiet in here!

Did I overdo it?Or was the Sling off warranted?!

It was pretty much aimed at the Team AND Club for it's Failure to Make a Real Statement this Year!

Nothing Personal!

You boys are All in it together!

Prove me wrong,Dammit!

And if you do,you tell me.......

"Jamm it up yer Arse Grassy,you absolute Prick!"

No skin off my nose,if that meant you guys got your shit together and actually WON some Silverware!
