I don’t rate Sonsie. You cannot drop Dow after the weekend. Did well on Anderson who’s a gun.

It's only fair that now we're 18th on the ladder, I show the faith back in the club and do everything I can to put them in front. In the end, I'm stoked I made the decision to stay. I f***ing love this club”

I would keep Ryan in the team to relieve Nankervis and rest Ryan deep forward.

I would want Sonsie, MacAuliffe, Smillie to dominate VFL for a few weeks. Who do you drop?

They will not or ever drop McIntosh, Short.

Dow, Ross rotate through midfield.

Banks could be dropped? I rather leave him on the wing with Hugo.

Green has been patchy. MJR can’t be dropped after his moments.

Does Trezsie keep his spot?

Is Trainor the unfortunate one? He should be playing in my opinion.

Personally, I can't see how we continue to persist with Ryan.

Offers nothing and just doesn't seem to have any skill or value.

Steely Greene was equal second on the ground for pressure acts

I don't rate Sonsie either but can we first see him play in the middle? Please!

Seen enough of Dow. Anderson was the fourth most effective player on ground and had over 20 possessions in the second half.

Anderson carved him up. Dud didn't even lay a tackle as an inside mid, shouldn't be on the list let alone in the team. :shh

My dad reckons he'll make a player.

I don't see it.

I think his attack on the ball is good and his hands are reasonably clean but agreed re: tackles, zero as an inside mid is pathetic and although he finally jagged a goal I think his kicking is poor. He doesn't get anywhere near enough ball like Taz and Hop to justify low kicking DE.

Time for dad to head into Specsavers for a quick checkup

No he didn’t. If he and Rowell were at their best, we wouldn’t have got within 5 goals of them.
He did well. Anderson snuck away a few times but neither nor Rowell (after qtr time) had a massive influence.

Mind you, I am not a fan - he was one of the worst picks in what is proving the be the all time greatest top 20 draft ever.

Trainoe should be playing but how can we fit him in? ( could short be dropped??)
Imagine if Gibcus and Mykleti were available plus McCauliffe needs to be added then we have Smilie and maybe Hotton soon, wow going to be a good problem to have

We play Melbourne, West Coast, North and Essendon over the next five weeks

Interesting to see where we sit after that batch

Might play ourselves out of the bottom few spots if we play like we did on Saturday
