It’s the current vogue to pot Cam Green

We have other problems

1- Usman Goodes needs to be replaced
2- Jake Weatherald makes Green look like peak Bradman .. Weatherald simply isn’t up to it

I've not seen much of this match due to work and other things I preferred to be doing yesterday.

Is the wicket flat or are we just playing like it's a dead rubber?

I don't think we'll get the spoon.
Probably 3-4 wins at least, likely 4-6.

Bottom 4 finish.

Another top 5 draft pick drifting out to 10 with some academy and free agency BS etc

At some point there’s going to be a side that rapidly drops down the ladder and ends up below us, norf and the eagles. It might not be this year but honestly would not surprise if either the Dees or Port get the spoon this year

I think with a decent run with injury and probably something around the 16-18 games from Lynch we will be pleasantly surprised at the improvement of a forward line that contains Lynch, MRJ, Seth Campbell, Faull and Armstrong with cameos from some more than handy up and comers in Lalor and Hotton.

Terrible team.

Trainor on the wing has already failed.
Lalor on the opposing wing is stupid.
Ross in the centre is poor, he should be spending lots of time in the VFL.
Mansell same as Ross.

It would make more sense to swap Banks and Trainor, Ross and Lalor, and add Armstrong at HF. Don't see Shorty playing off HB either. Based on preseason so far, Alger or Maurice would be ahead of Green on the bench.
