Lonie not up to it. Showed it tonight.

Zero gone our way. All week and continued into game ...

- they have snapped goals off a step
- won every kick anywhere out of a contest
- luck of goals umpires
- 9 goals 1
- our 3 goals 5

King miss was vital. We had all the play in first 5-7 minutes. Kicked 3 points. Not good enough.

We get zero compensation is that right ? Seems like a typical StKilda scenario

Disagree. He said he is a chance to play in Adelaide

Agree

In: Battle, Marsh
Out Ryder, Kent

Marsh to help deal with Richmond interception and to take some hits off King.

We also have $350k to spend off back of McCartin delisting. He is included in this year cap.

If Carlisle goes you would think this frees up extra $550-$650k. Combine the two and a million in spending money. Plus whatever spare cash outside these two.

Taranto is a local Bayside kid. He is exactly what we need ! Would be an amazing get if we could land ...throw in Caldwell and our midfield is set. Would cost a few 1st round picks, 2nd round for Caldwell. Would do it in a heartbeat ...

Paton stuff!!!!!! Underrated

Saints v Dogs

If we win play loser of Tigers v Lions

Assume Lions ...

Beat Lions and play winner of Port and Cats ..

Assume Port in Adelaide

Our ideal run - Beat Dogs, Beat Lions, Beat Port ... play in GF

If demons win by 6 goals and saints lose by 2 goals demons make the 8

Simple way to make the eight we win ..

If Demons win by 6 goals and saints lose by 2 goals demons make the 8

If Bulldogs can beat Hawthorn by 10 goals and get beaten by 2 points by Freo and Saints lose by 9 goals bulldogs can make it over Saints.

If Freo beat Bulldogs, we should be safe

Makes some moves Ratten ... isolate King with Butler or put Clark on ball ... Long forward.

Very Richardson like ... no moves, or versatility

We are a tall short. It’s not rocket science .. Eagles win games in the air !!! No Carlisle or even Roberton, but play guys like Hind and Kent that are total spuds.

Well said ... don’t play the victim ! Get on with it. Win one or both games and the job is done. Let’s be honest make a final and bomb out isn’t overly appealing. Think of it this way ... we have two elimination finals before we get the reward of playing in one. Good for a young team to be put under...

He will play next week. Darling and Kennedy to contend with. Plus Oscar Allen. Carlisle, Howard and Wilkie will have their cut out.

I would bring in

- Membrey, King, Carlisle and Roberton
- Marsh, Abbott, 2 others ?

Abbott in for King

I think we need another goal kicking half forward. Kent, Parker, Hind etc hot and cold. I would have a look at Sexton from the Gold Coast.

We got smashed by ground ball in forward line. They kept taking it out with ease, when May wasn’t marking it.

Got to lift our forward pressure in 2nd half. They are winning ground ball in our forward line.

And stop the bombing to 2 on King. Lower eyes.

Got to get him back into the side. We need his composure, leadership and intercept marking. Our backs got well beaten yesterday- Howard and Carlisle.

If he is fit, get him back in.

Agree, he sat back today and didn’t put his body on the line for the majority of the game. I think we need Roberton in to give us some composure. Clark into the middle. I’d rather Savage than Sinclair based on today’s effort. I make 3 changes - Roberton, Clark and Savage IN - Hind, Bytel and Sinclai...

Should have won in the end. Had all the momentum last 10 minutes. Needed a snap to go in and/or King to hold a mark. Just a bit of luck. Had a lot of passengers for a good chunk of the game.

UP to 12 different players......

McKenzie, Carlisle, Savage
Wilkie, Battle, Marsh
Billings, Ross, Newnes
Hind, Bruce, Sinclair
Gresham, Membrey, Kent
Marshall, Dunstan, Armitage
Acres, Hannebery, Clark, Parker

The treatment he had in the US, has Paddy in a very, very good place. Same doctor who treated Koby S, Owen Wright, Kevin Pierce and many other professionals in the US. Medicinal Marijuana, CDB is a major part of the recovery, healing.

Dixon and Hawkins listed are 103kg. King at 93kg. When he puts on 7-8kg he will be unstoppable!

Ben and Max both drop marks, due to lack of body strength when contact is made. That will change. The prospect of both Kings is very attractive and would love to see it happen one fine day ...
