INS: Petterd, Miles, Arnott,

OUTS: Jackson (inj), McDonough, Thomas or Ellis

Maric needs another week, huge step up from VFL to AFL needs more match fitness

McDonough is probably a tough call but what stood out yesterday is in the clinches he decision making is very slow. Great example was right in front of us and he stood back believing the ball was going out of bounds, it didn't and it was until his opponent ran past him he decided to go after the ball. It didn't look good, it wasn't good = poor decision, slow decision

Thomas, well just butchers the ball and puts his teammates under ridiculous pressure with his poor disposal. Said it before will say it Gaian he must play to his obvious limitations

As for Ellis, don't let the 25+ possessions fool you! Yet again stood back off contests, refused to chase, and chimes on the with those little "dinky" nothing kicks.

Neither Ellis or Thomas will be dropped because they are favourites but I can dream can't I?   ;D
More fool those that would drop Thomas, he was clearly amongst best 3 on the ground , instrumental with his contested ball dominance , arnot needs more than 12 possies in the vfl to knock thomo from the side  :shh

Better than Jack, Lids, Dusty, Rance, Conca, Hampson,Houli.

Yep clearly amongst the best 3 at 74% efficiency.

I may be seen as a perfectionist but I'll take quality over quantity any day of the week. Whoa. :shh
86% eff as a matter of fact+ 10 tackles + 28 pressure acts, but oooohhhhh no he didn't play so good  :lol :banghead :wallywink :sleep

Thomas deserves his spot, Maric needs more run in the legs.

Has anyone else noticed the past 2 weeks that Foley seems to be getting some zip back?

I reckon play Maric.....Maric hopping on one leg with a hood over his head will contribute more around the ground than hampson.
As for Nathan,hope you're right Tony.I must admit I did see more zip in the ressies a few weeks ago.

Against a side who weren't even trying lost their last game by 111 points before yesterday.
Yeah real impressive numbers but I digress.
He wasn't the best, he was no where near it but if you think that is the fact good for you.
I know what game I was watching and I stand by the fact there were at least half a dozen blokes yesterday better than him regardless of stats but as I said quality over quantity wins out 100% of the time.
Never did I say drop him but if you want to take that stance to present your feeble thoughts then so be it also.
Just like admitting earlier in the season you don't go to games yet were making outlandish comments with no substance. I could not care less whether you are or aren't but I really think that someone whose been a member for 32 years would be as dumb as you given the amount of footy they may or may not have seen.

I guess the invention of a wide screen LCD and plasma screens may have changed your view on proceedings.
Whoa. :shh

Just sit on the fence at home like a year 12 kid back in the day waiting for their VCE results and let us know what junk mail you are going to spew on here while sifting through the Target, Coles, Aldi and Woolworths catalogue. Whoa. ::) :wallywink :help :stupid :chuck :thatsgold :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL :ROTFL

Definitely TM, a couple of times he showed glimpses of the old Foley that we know, quick hands and quick off the mark. Let's hope his body holds up this time and he gets some serious game time under his belt.

Whoa, 86% really, gee I stand corrected but was only going by what was in the papers this morning. Not some mail

As I said I'd love to know how they work out a clanger

Have watched, the first qtr and stopped counting after 4 handbills the number of times he either went to a teammate under pressure or just completely missed a target
