Clark was alright in the tight and tough stuff. I think he's a chance too.

Ins from: Caminiti, Dow, Clark, Philippou (in that order)

Caminiti is a certainty after that performance.

Outs from: Membrey, Hayes, Hastie, Ross, Garcia (in that order)

I stopped watching at half time, but it looks like Pou has kicked on and started winning some ball, and caminiti with 2 goals 5 is impressive and disappointing at the same time.

End of last year we were on the rise and a destination club. 9 rounds in and that's changed to on the slide and on the nose. There are supporters who knew well enough not to believe we were on the rise and a destination club as a result of the 2023. My Nearly every neutral and pundit in the AFL wor...

Jones had two clangers so bad the commentators called them out.

Clark has been OK, and my first time seeing Keeler this year and he looks good.

Nobody is screaming "pick me" with their performance today.

Says who???

We had a lot of senior players playing yesterday

Which ones didn't perform in your view?

I could only pick 4 that did perform. Steele, Wilkie, Battle, Marshall.

No point turning over too many players, you just end up with more pick 50+ players.

We will want room on the list for 5 new players next year.

Allison
Campbell
Jones
Hotton
And one more.

Membrey out for Caminiti (pending the game today)
Hayes to sub
Hastie 1 more week
Garcia 1 more week (Higgins replaces him on return)
Dow in for Ross (managed)

I thought Paton was influential in the second half despite not touching the ball too much. Had some physicality which we are seriously lacking.

5 Steele
4 Wilkie
3 Marshall
2 NWM
1 Henry

Ran out of vote candidates so LH gets one for his mark and NWM for the dance moves.

Who do we take with our top 5 pick this year?

King Membrey out

I don't disagree but doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result wasn't working for him.

Fitness lead, replaced Misson when he moved up. Think we also got rid of someone to bring him in.

Worth his contract as a leader and mentor alone.

Stocker will play mid and Paton back, is my call.

All 3 are overreactions to much smaller issues. But issues nonetheless. Clark's injury run is of huge concern. Needs to get on the park for some consistency. King's form could be physical, mental, or both. Needs a change of scenery (on the ground). Pou needs a few individual wins to give himself som...

Just like any game against a bottom 4 team, if we win it's just a bottom 4 team, if we lose, it's a bottom 4 team.

No comparison to Roo at the same stage of his career. None at all. Definitely not.... 2001Nick waltzes into Harvard - Gehrig, Everitt, Loewe, Hall...with Hamill, Hayes, Harvey, Milne in the mid and small forwards....SUPPORT. ALL DAY EVERY GAME...for years. King crawls into Frankston TAFE and he's g...

Good to hear he was back training with the main group.

The crouch rumours came from the same place as those suggesting Pou was going back to SA.

I wouldn't believe them.

Just because you hear the same rumour from multiple places doesn't make it any more true.

Dow looked more ready than Henry who hasn't played since round 2.

Pulled out after a calf complaint in the warmup. No idea on severity.

I feel like that a form slump is what Max needs to break the shackles of expectation.

Once he no longer feels the teams weight on his shoulder he can be freed to just play good footy.
