Maybe have members as sub. If his match fitness is a concern have him ready to go for the last half/quarter if required. Cordi playing well but he isn’t as good as members is if members if fully fit and firing which he isn’t yet. Plus if it rains and the ground becomes muddy it’s probably not the be...

So much stupidity in this site at times. Members is a great forward so stays forward, stupid to drop him for Howard. Howard is so underrated here. Yes he makes errors as does everyone but that is what his haters focus on. Maybe look at the good he does as well. Play three talks so one can rotate thr...

I hope Ross has learnt about not playing youth. If he has a brain which he does we should have a bit of a rotating rooster manage the young guys but play them when possible but not if it is a critical game

At game. Suns should be closer as they missed some very gettable goals. Mids struggling with a hit and hope game plan. Backs holding up well considering. Good news is we are up by three goals and should play better after half time

That is great news. Most excellent. Cheers Tony for the confirmation.

In herald sun so legit

Not on club website yet so a bit skeptical but I hope it is true

At game. Playing well but last kick into fifty is killing us. Poo getting double and triple teamed plus he is getting pushed off the ball. Shouldn’t be standing forward awaiting a bomb as he is getting owned. Wood and Mitch Owens are killing it and our defence is fairly solid, Wilkie sincs battle Ho...

I expect to start dropping games very soon due to our team being riddled with injuries. We have played better than expected and the young guys are all standing up. Even when the tide starts to turn they don’t lose focus. We got early looks at caminiti and the pou which may not have so I’m happy rega...

Changes? At this stage we are lucky to fill the squad. I’d say windhager in and pick a sub out of whose left and hope like hell no one gets hurt

Great win and young guys standing up. If nothing else games are getting pumped into young guys and the poo is so worth the hype. Not just his goals but setting others up as well. Main Criticism tonight is we went back to long bombs again which didn’t work. Small forwards are not good enough to crumb...

At game and it was a huge momentum swing. Long bombing is very noticeable and dogs are now set for it. Still leading but Ross better have a plan b after half time. I wouldn’t activate sub until late in third qtr in case we need it

. Young guys have all stood up l. The odd error but nothing too bad. Byrnes and bytel are playing really well.
Worst game I have seen nwm play for a long time and hill still messes up a lot. And I mean a lot. If umps stop the purple bias we are in with a chance

List size...44 players Injured ....14 players Available for selection....30 players Side ...23 players plus 3 emergencies....total 26 players Balance....4 players for Sandi. If you can't get a game now or at least be on standby as an emergency...things aren't looking to bright for you at Moorabbin....

Baptism of fire coming up. Good news is that he and the pou will have had their first game. They like Sharman are going to make mistakes which they will learn from so hopefully us fans give them a break

From the back we look like Sydney

I think Roman will take it easy for most of the game. He knows he can’t get injured. Due to lack of choice we are playing youngsters who aren’t ready yet and they will get found out soon enough. That’s not an insult neither more that they will go against experienced campaigner with bigger bodies. Th...

So those not playing are... Zak Jones - Achilles (3-4 weeks) Max King - Shoulder (6-8 weeks) Jack Hayes - Foot (6-8 weeks) Tim Membrey - Knee (1-2 weeks) Matthew Allison - Foot (12-15 weeks) Daniel McKenzie - Calf (Indefinite) Leo Connolly - Unknown? Olli Hotton - Back (12-15 weeks) Isaac Keeler - ...

Shame that he has so much potential as he is probably going home next year. This is based mostly on his lack of contract. I hope he still has a break out year if for no other reason it increases his value

Horse before the cart hete. The kid has been invited to train, that’s it. He is not in the club let alone the team yet so nobody should even be talking about him playing. We just need to accept that our forwards are going to lacking for the first month or so. But members is there and I never got the...

The way we are going with injuries you can remove “best” from the thread title.

As for Sharman he was successful in his first few games, not brilliant but good enough to hold his position. I’d say we play him due as he will now be in our best forward options and see how he goes again at afl level

If he hasn’t signed by season start then it’s not a good sign. Still enjoy him why we have him and make crows/port pay big time for him

Out of interest would it possible for someone to post a report about training. This thread seems to have gone off on various tangents that aren't related to the thread’s purpose: thanks in advance

It’s pretty reasonable. We have a new coach which means our game plan has now changed and will take time to implement which means the first months of next year will be putting it into practice. We also have lost our main target up forward which isn’t great and no Dan Hannebery so it’s not all bad. I...

I wouldn’t cut off our nose to spite our face. We will get by until max returns but I wouldn’t play guys out of position and hamper their development until he returns. Ie backs play as backs especially battle who has found his niche position

Well that sux. On a plus Sharman and Hayes will be given a perfect opportunity to show their value. Or maybe Ross will have a plan in place by round one. If not well it’s a good season to suck in as it’s meant to be a superdraft Hayes won't be back until approx round 5 True but king won’t be back t...
