I would rather have McGuane in than Thursty after he was caught punching the air today on three occassions.
McGuane at least might be tradeable Thursty is gawn noone wanted him last year when he requested a trade and noone will want him this year either.

In Tuck McGuane

Out Hislop Thursfield

Browne does not cut it either but he gives more contest than Angus.
Farmer again inconspicuous bar two goals like last week.

We could have five or so changes again but what's the point after an effort like today.

OUT: Griffiths (inj), Farmer, Hislop, Grigg
IN: Tuck, Morton, McGuane, Conca

Assuming Griffiths' injury will keep him out. If he comes up fit, he takes preference over McGuane. As for Farmer and Hislop, I genuinely feel sorry for them because neither of them should be in our 22, but for some reason they keep getting picked, keep performing badly, and keep copping the criticism for performing badly when they shouldn't have even been put there in the first place. Grigg needs to be dropped. His form has been horrendous the past couple of weeks. Needs to actually put some effort into the contest rather than doing the least amount of work possible.

Yes, McGuane is frustrating at times. Yes, in an ideal world he'd never go near the ball. BUT, we're light on for talls (Griffiths, Astbury, Moore and Grimes all injured), and at least McGuane, with all his faults, can defend somewhat, even if he can't kick. It's either him or Gourdis, who was poor against Melbourne. Or worse, Miller. Tuck's selection is long overdue.
Push up!

Play the kids.

 :thumbsup
yes play the kids.

Tuck. Waste of time not in future.
Herslop. As I've said before she shouldn't be allowed to wear the jumper again.
Browne. He's hopeless, unfit and an uncoordinated dinosaur but he's still better that Graham. Play him for the rest of the year and hopefully the saints or port will be dumb enough to trade for him.   
Post. Keep him in see if he's up to it.
Farmer. Same as Post.
Miller. Give him And his Mrs a job in marketing. He's useless as a player.

The bombers are up and look like they've learnt how to tackle.... We'll get thrashed again.

Yes a change in coach will do the trick?

We wanted a rebuild 18 months ago we are currently getting one and losses like this emphasise that we need to fully carry through with one. This loss is not Hardwicks fault from a list perspective. Things like playing Grigg and Edwards on Judd are but you can't get rid of 30 players in one hit.
Until we turnover virtually 30 odd players from the list we had in rd 22 2009 we will be paying for the sins of previous coaching regimes namely The Solarium man who after our 157 point loss to Geelong should have gone the full rebuild himself then and made the hard decisions then.
Moving on Hardwick would be a false move and one prone to failure. Let Dimma get rid of another 8-10 players and lets carry through this move fully and hopefully reap the benefits.

For me Jackson today whilst not our worst was still terrible. I have had enough of his unskilled disposal slow decision making and undisciplined acts. To me he is a listclogger. Trade.

On yesterdays effort, Coburg couldn't do any worse.
