Id rather have McBean instead of McGuane. Put the kid to Full Forward he is good on the lead. Put Jack to CHF. Vickery needs to ruck more. The donut isnt ready for the big stuff yet. Edwards of the Shed type needs to come in, wheres King? Theres 3 or 4 at least who from  today should be dropped.

I think the Bean will be in next week after today's performance. A 2 and 1/2 prong attack is not enough. I thought 'donuts' did ok today for his first game - keep him in next week.

Simple case today of one team with something to prove and the other flat with their eye on finals. One week to refresh and the following week a dress rehearsal for finals. Feel we needed a loss to further impress upon the players the effort required week to week and the the performance level to be competitive in finals. A few players back next week and hopefully we'll be primed come September.

Thought Tuck was extremely ordinary when he came on

Like the Swans game - there is little point getting the ball only to hand it to the opposition.
He'll just get whiplash watching it continually going back over his head.
I love Tucky but the way he is being managed isn't working for anyone.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Thought we had a shocker at the selection table... An absolute shocker.

Why we would bring in a key defender and a medium defender for 2 runners is beyond me.. Really really poor.

We looked to have ran out of legs and when their mids flooded fwd we couldn't match them for agility when the ball hit the ground. If McLean is kicking 3 roving goals then you don't have the right structure in place defensively.

Horrible selections.. Stick to 3 Key defenders maximum.
Go Tigers!

I was extremely nervous going into this game, thought after making it last week, guaranteeing finals we faced a let down and we delivered.

Think also we flirted with form a bit. I know Newman has a sore ankle, White had really tight hamstring but if this was season on the line stuff I reckon Newman would have played, ditto Kingy

Boys and Girls,

Are we really that slow? I believe the last 2 weeks we have looked like we didn't care at times. Thoughts?

Also what's go we have only kicked a 7 goals in the last 2 halves in the last 2 weeks?

Sorry just frustrated!!!

Tuck does not really work as a sub. I just can't see the point of it.
McDonough looked a bit raw, he looks the type that needs games. He will not get as much overhead ball as he is used to.
