Ross post-game said Liam Henry trained well today and will come straight in next week. There are a few candidates to make way for him.

Mattaes very disappointing. He is still a teenager for another 7.5 months ,and I think long term he will be very valuable , but right now he does not deserve a spot .

If his first name was Brian he might be the Messiah.. or perhaps a Beach Boy .

5. Jack Sinclair
4, Darcy Wilson
3. Marcus Windhager
2. Jack Hayes
1. Josh Battle.

Hill , Wood , Marshall, NWM also good.

Much better, Max - good contested mark .

The difference between Hayes and King - in attitude and endeavour and impact - is stark

Only 6 players selected for neither seniors nor Sandy - Butler , Higgins, Crouch, Van Es, Henry and Hotton. Cordy named as emergency for seniors but also listed as being rested and not named for Sandy so looks like he will be rested. All bar Hotton are on our published injury list . Not sure what th...

Not for me thanks- I will be away for work

Congratulations to Jack Hayes on fighting back from two years of injuries to earn senior selection. Not to put a dampener on it but he did play late last year against Brisbane at the Gabba. Sorry about that - I missed that game , visiting my daughter overseas. In any event, I am glad he has another...

Congratulations to Jack Hayes on fighting back from two years of injuries to earn senior selection.

Hastie did a few nice things, but was twice beaten one-on-one by Burgoyne. Worth a start next week for sure, but I am not totally enthused yet. Anyway, good luck to him.

5. Jack Sinclair. 3. Rowan Marshall. When he went down, the world was coming to an end, but he did a Gary Lazarus and fought on manfully all night. 2. Cal Wilkie . So reliable. 2. Darcy Wilson. Really looking the goods. 2. Marcus Windhager . Strong in and under. 1. Brad Hill. Superb early. Faded a b...

What's the point of all of this? We had a great ANZAC Day ceremony before the Pies vs the Bombers yesterday. ANZAC day is over. If AFL were played over Xmas-New Year, would Santa show up before the game on Boxing Day? Is that a rhetorical question, or do you genuinely want to be educated as to the ...

Demoralising. Hard to find votes, but here we go . 5. Brad Hill. Clearly our best early , when the pressure was hottest. 3. Marcus Windhager . Got it a bit. 3. Hugo Garcia. I like him a lot. 2. Seb Ross. Good endeavour. 1. Tim Membrey . Junk time goals , but at least he kicked them. 1. Cal Wilkie. I...

Aha - now they are only quadrupling us

Still early days, but ( with the greatest respect to Dan McKenzie ) I am very glad the club used that last pick on Arie.

I don't really know where to post it but Cordy was huge today. Not in any specific part of the game, but compared to the final last year he held his own, won his contests, and gave a bit where needed. Before the season I had Howard firmly ahead of him, but I think it's line ball right now. I agree....

Soft - even timid

Looks scared to have a shot

Doesn’t work hard and present

Needs a kick up the arse

Tough comments, but fair. He is disappointing.

He showed a bit in pre-season, and really franked it today.

Can't remember when it was - that is why the rule came in - because a player from North took literally a minute to have his sho in the dying seconds of a game (against us)

It was Mason Wood !

Least Caminiti took his full 30 secs 👍🤣 Even though we were 7 points down with 40 seconds to go I totally disagree with your criticism. He had to kick the goal. He took the time he needed. He kicked the goal- AND there were still 41 seconds on the clock at the next bounce . As we saw, still plenty ...

Just trying to get the heart rate down a bit so I can type. 5. Brad Hill. Gut running all day. 4. Rowan Marshall. Such a mobile follower . 3. Jack Steele. Never gives up. I think those three stood out. 2. Zane Cordy. Dougal will have to bide his time. 1. Marcus Windhager. Tagged well and found quite...

Didn’t Dr Zachary Smith play for Gold Coast and Geelong ?

The Dogs game also suits me, and I would like to be involved in the raffle, thanks .

Whenever a junior in any sport steps up to the senior level, unless they are extraordinarily self-assured there is likely an element of self-doubt as to whether they truly belong. I hope that, with his two excellent last-quarter efforts ( that will certainly have drawn praise from coaches and collea...
