So who is 2nd ruck if Owens isn’t? We don’t have one Marshall needs more of a chop out - he was too tired at the end and it really cost us I don’t think Ross is going to play Campbell unless as first ruck if Marshall falls over. He’d say not mobile enough and you don’t get enough out of him in othe...

Look at who’s won Browlows - the ‘money men’ Cripps Neale Wines Martin Dangerfield Bull mids - of which he should be one!!! Yes, I wonder why the reluctance. Here’s a few possibilities: He doesn’t have the tank. He’s too valuable forward. We need him to be second ruck. I could cop the first one if ...

9-1 centre clearances against in the second half. Needs something

Needs to play on ball. Not a good enough kick to be a forward

And there's this:

Essendon went on to win the clearance count 23-10, including 9-1 centre clearances, in the second half.

Deserved at least five.

But it’s fine to f—- over the small clubs. It’s only St Kilda

Tom Lynch (Richmond) should get at least 1 week. Late head high hit on Zac Butters. He wasn't in the marking contest and it was just an elbow in the back of Zac's head. Last few times he's taken people out he got off scott free. In the match against us in the Semi final in 2020 he split Ben Paton's...

He won’t play wing He’s been likened to Battle except less defensive than Battle His skill is he reads it well, intercepts well and his leg He could be useful to kick over, stretch zones but he’s not a key defender I don’t think he plays based on like for like If King goes - Caminiti probably Pou t...

The wing requires an enormous tank You can’t just sit behind the footy and rack up uncontested marks and get cheap possessions He is obviously a defender Obvious to who? It’s obvious to me he is a footballer. Many, many good players have started as halfbacks and diversified into other roles. It’s a...

Caminti to full forward and Butler in for Henry.

He’s been playing as a half-back, but near enough imo. Maybe a bit more two-way running, but a natural footballer should be able to make the adjustment very quickly.

Wright left the ground He’s gone 4 at minimum Only thing that saved him from more is he’s facing the ball unlike Webster The club ought to kick up a real stink about this behind the scenes if he gets off with a couple. As far as I am concerned, the ground rules have been set and there must be consi...

Could he replace Wood on a wing? Tall, aerially strong and a big hoof on him … from what I hear. I haven’t seen him play I must admit. Is he quick?

My stab at like-for-like. Caminiti for King, Butler for Henry, Scheonmaker for Wood. Admittedly have seen only highlights of Scheonmaker, but I like what I’ve seen. He’s coming off a BOG for Sandy, is a good size, aerially strong and a thumping kick. Sounds like a winger. Don’t know whether Crouch i...

Yes, but inconclusive at best. I reckon a Magpies fan has dobbed him. Nothing was made of it on TV

Give him seven like Jimmy

Announced himself on the big stage. Future captain. Though he got us going when the chips were down

Hamstring tightness

I feel Collingwood hasn't been looked after by the umpires. I can't stop sobbing. Leigh Fisher, never forget where you came from

F--- off Collingwood

Marshall must be concussed.

Go Saints.

Cox is doing as he pleases
