Hitting up King on a lead would be nice. All quarter on top of his head.

Windhager ready for a rest so out for Jones.
Paton's disposal is a concern. Same for Howard and Battle but they're not getting dropped. Maybe Webster for Paton rather than Wood.
Hand up, Seb frustrated me no end. Now that Ratts has a run run run game plan the runners are turning it on. Who knew!

It's the way we're playing that's important.
The run and rapid ball movement into F50 is great prep for the top4s.

Hayes for Ryder is a given. Higgins in for probably Long. Long's kicking is a risk, yep Higgins.. I know, but playing percentages it's the way I'd go. Windhager gets a couple more until Clarke or Billings ready then rested. WangMill gets a couple more until Jones or Billings ready then rested. Byrne...

Not many giving Ryder 5. His stoppage and centre bounce work will be filmed and put in the same place they're storing seeds in Greenland in case of an apocalypse.

Don't mind Caro. A different perspective I can disagree with.
Problem with the show is the host - Hutch, Eddie or that peanut Maclure - always interrupts an interesting point of view. Get rid of the annoying hosts and make the show a late night Couch.

Horse.

Ryder, Marshall, Hayes. Only two will be on the ground at once. Hopefully pack launching all the down the line bombs keeping Maxie in the F50.

Never understood the trade. Get a decent ruck all clubs will hang on forever (Grundy mill X 7 years. What?) Hindsight is tricky. To what extent did Clarko improve McEvoy. Or Horse Hickey? Could name many more who showed more after leaving the club. Even watching Daniels at Sydney on Fox retro replay...

Moods saved me knocking out 200 words.

From my watching games over the R1 and last night Voss is the first from outside the 2021 8 to rip off the Dees game plan. Anyone at Round 1 last year suggesting a Dees flag with their list would have been committed. Likewise Voss has them playing ball-in-motion expansive team first footy with a 22 ...

The difference between Blues 2021 vs. 2022 is coaching. We have the list but - after last week - not the coach teaching fast ball movement attacking footy.

No. Coaching, yes.

Hayes has that technically perfect kicking action. Straight line run up and classic ball drop and swing thru.
Maybe we should send all draftees to the SANFL for two years.

To be clear, Gresh is one of my favourites. One of the few who takes the game on.

Gresham is the poster child of our issues with player development (referring to kicking mechanics). How he's gone this long in our system and still has that kicking action beggars belief. But then again I could say the same for DMac, Battle, Kent, Geary, couple of others and I'll throw in Billings.

If Clarko comes to Moorabbin his first task - like at Hawthorn - would be to delist players who can't kick. Rushing off to work so don't have 5 min to compile a list.

No

The way Ratts coaches moving the footy if we had Charlie Cameron, Toby Greene and Rozee (or I'll add Bradman) the same question would be asked. Is the experiment over?

6 months to come up with a winning game plan and all we get is the same as last year. Definition of insanity is what? Slow ball movement, no run past, no play on, no up field structures, no corridor, long down the line, no stoppage strategy and outcome is mostly kick and hope long bombs into a crowd...

If we drafted Petracca everyone would be now complaining that the Dees have a 3 time Coleman winner whilst our mid is underperforming. Billings could have won a flag and The Bont spraying em into F50. All about the development.

Played a top 6 fixture and could have had 5 wins out of 6 against Sydney, Geelong and Port. Yep didn't. 2022 4 x double ups will be either GWS, Essendon and the heading down the ladder Freo, Richmond and Eagles. Would back us against these and the sides who finished below. Now we need Ratts to teach...

Is it just me or do others don't get the whole segregation of defensive, mid and forward coaches? The game today is about winning clearance, winning at contest, upfield structures, space creation, ball movement systems and strategies and targeted f50 entries. Defense to mid, mid to f50. When opposit...

Opinion. Long = Dunstan > Ross. Footsteps.
Ross = Newnes. Many can do his role.
Hoping Dunstan stays but on relative coin. If - as likely will play out - he leaves means Steele can be the rightful next owner of Lenny's #7.

Bleeds (literally) RWB. One of many on our list who is a - I'll avoid saying can't kick - high risk of a turnover when ball is in hand. I get the role of defensive forward and maybe an insurance policy if Paton, Webster, Coffield, Clark, Highmore, Long and 5 others all fall over. But surely not best...
