True, but you can't throw them all out at once otherwise you destroy the fabric of the club.

Small victories, middle tier have been good, Stanley very good and Wright shown a bit

Best game of Armos career, not withstanding the opposition

Goal to Armo 100-45

Think we've got it now

Lee is so slow

Forgot Lee was playing

Maister with some genuine ranimakers

I don't mind the roof open, I like a bit of sunshine if it is present

CJ cant be dropped no matter what stage our club is at. You must reward players when they play well and CJ did last week. On the other hand Blake didnt and shouldnt play again unless we are really struggling in that position or his form is just to good to overlook. And never gift games to any playe...

Fair enough matrix. I will try and get hold of these owners

Don't reckon it's dying (just look at last night) but would be happy to give up mod position if someone reckons they can be more committed. Clearly I can't commit as much as would be optimal but we'd need someone who doesn't polarise and is willing to do a thankless task. see what you did there was...

Im not a coach knocker and Watters is only in his second year but he has made some poor errors in the 2 games this year IMO. If Blake was to play he had to be our second ruck and Stanley had to play down back for a start. Stanley needs to be played as a backman all year or until he is just no good ...

One of our best again for mine. Still best 22.

Do wonder if he could have worked harder on the track and been a gun mid rather than a good half-forward over the years

I still can't understand trading pick 12 for a mature age recruit (Tom Lee), and then not play him from round 1. Surely trading for a 22 year old that needs further development is one of the most bizarre examples of recruiting in a very long time. Some would say trading pick 12 for a potential A Gr...

Struggled but hardly any worse than Saad. Milera a little better but plays more up the field. Doubt there is room for all 3. Milney has the credits for the moment though. Difficult situation to say the least because ideally you get games into the other two

No way in hell. Kosi about the last bloke on the list to play at the moment. Would have to be kicking consistent bags at VFL level. Otherwise Maister or Lee. We need to see who can play.

The problem with game plans is they require skill to execute them..... This current team is not blessed with skill....at least they try... Agreed, it's a gameplan hugely reliant on the execution of skills going forward. Turnovers leave defenders open to one-on-ones, and our defenders are highly vul...

At least some of the kids look decent. But none of them are walk up stunners.

This. Going to be very difficult to make the calls on fringe senior players when guys like Schneider and Jones have started the season very well.

I think Blake has to go, hardly an upgrade on Simpkin

Was OK, like the way he competes, but McGuane who is pretty average could've easily kicked a bag on him

Can't read anything from either game. Crows missing half their team then we were not to mention playing against a fresh team in 38 degree heat. Silly format

Had a look and it turns out he was voted our best player in the POTY count in his final two games for the club
