Thought Lav was good last night, held up well many times under a ridiculous amount of pressure.

Kelly was also decent, but wing is not his position.

I seriously question the coaching, why would you play Kelly on a wing and Martin off half back. We need Martin kicking inside 50 not off half back becuse we have no one else who can kick inside 50.it was sickening watching our high bombs all night

Regardless of who comes in, the question is by how many points will we lose by? 60 plus is my guess :frowning:

Hes got you there Alex

I’ll be tipping the Bulldogs but you just know, as often happens after such a bad interstate primetime performance, we will end up right in the game and show something.

We’ll go from the depths of despair now to thinking “Maybe things aren’t as bad as we thought” this time next week… win or lose.

Hope you are right.

I am ashamed.

Just wanted to lighten the mood a bit. In our last 10 matches against the Bulldogs, dating back to the start of 2015, we’ve won one (2021) and lost nine, with losing margins of 87, 40, 30, 21, 104, 42, 49, 32 and 41. Dogs players might be looking forward to this match.

We’d lose by 150 points. Theres no development in that

Should be a good contest against the dogs.

On paper like Port a better side, but this will be a sign as to how much our team has grown.

Can they respond to a belting or go into their shells as Essendon of old?

Id make fairly limited changes - just bringing in fit best 22 players. Ie Durham if available.

Don’t do it to yourself. Deep down you know exactly how this will end.

Never thought I would say it, but I would bring in Weiderman and drop either Draper or Goldstein. Weiderman is a better forward than both of them and would provide some ruck relief.

Watching Hayes in the VFL, I want to see an option to replace Laverde but he is just too weak. After two years on the list, I thought Eyre was showing more than Hayes is now.

Hayes gets the call up
Caddy aswell
Tsatas won’t learn in the VFL bring him in now Perkins is out

Not Caddy to play forward?

Draper’s lack of effort does my head in, as soon as he realises he cant get a highlight reel play he stops

Eyre had a couple of ok matches, but I think Hayes was better on the weekend than any of Eyre’s matches.

And I wanted to persist with Eyre. mainly due to his height and athleticness. he kicked a couple of nice goals too.

As a pure stopper Hayes is better. Maybe Eyre better intercept? but Hayes better disposal, both nice long kicks.
