I was confident now not so much.  If they win the midfield battle they will score.  Very undersized backline

Would love Towner to run through a few of the handbaggers. Happy to wear a 3 or 4 week ban.

Don’t mind it....

Townsend a great in IMO.

Congrats to Naish.

Rioli is not the sort of player to go back to the reserves and dominate IMO. He plays better at a better level. We need him up and firing.

I hope Bolton plays a blinder and gets straight back in. 

[big tone]

I think Houli still thinks we play 7 backs as he doesn’t pick anyone up.
Looking at the Geelong forwardline, the thought of him playing in any their forwards makes me nervous.
I’m sure he will rack up heaps of kicks regardless and some will be happy.

Very happy with the INS

Great to see Townsend to get a game. We really need a tackler who actually hurts

[Diocletian]

Good ol' fashioned Geelong thrashing coming up....by golly it's been a while....

...looking forward to the reactions to Naish's defensive "efforts".....

Not the week for me to drop Broad We're going with same scenario as dogs game.Menadue stiff for me shouldn't got dropped last week either.

Solid inclusions. We need the ball to hit the ground as we will be thrashed in the air. Agree with Menadue

We got a issue up forward our coaches failing to recognise week after week Lynch needs help and support getting double teamed week after week along with poor delivery.I still think we're going undersized like dogs game 2 talls out not one inn   .

Townsend hopefully will be able to give Lynch support. Agree certainly undersized in defence but with Rance and Astbury out and Garthwaite already in who do you bring in. Very worried about Geelong mids.
