Assuming we make finals (which I still consider a better than 50% chance) is it to wrong to hope that Watson does a minor hammy late against Freo and is unavailable for finals?
I actually think if we made finals and had a team similar to the St Kilda game weād be dangerous
Yes. Man. Cmon

Fair danger game this one. Interstate. Struggling team overdue for a win. Season on the line more than ever. Can we bribe Solly with a sweet coaching pay packet next year to get us up this week?

No way should lav be dropped. Give him the rest of the season in the 1s.

Dropping Lav would be mind boggling. I reckon he showed good signs last night, but aside from that youāve got to give the bloke a go.
Completely expecting him to be dropped.

When you hit them they donāt get up, when you tackle them they stayed tackled and donāt ever help them up off the deckā¦otherwise we should change our name from bombers to something about catsā¦
Lav out is ridiculous, he got better as the game went on.

I thought he looked great, his ability to shrug opposition off was pretty impressive, adeliade guys looked generally alot biggerā¦ maybe the white? but he seemed to be one of the few who could shrug them off.
About 3 or 4 times he was in a 50/50 and just took the ball away with strength.

Hartley returns, in place of Dea (sorry soldier), to play on Wright.
Baguley returnsā¦perhaps in place of Gleeson (rested?), or if there is a structural decision to give a backman more midfield time.
Zerrett returns, in place of Watson (ārestedā) or Howlett (if there is an unlikely suspension).
Any talk of TBC returning is loco, after Leuey was pretty good and TBCās injury status is still a mystery.
I keep Colyer in for as long as Fantasia is out.
Would consider Begleyā¦could drop Lav, he never actually went back to the VFL even though he missed the Carlton matchā¦Greene also at risk, but I think he gets picked for his experience with the forward system.
I regard most other suggestions about āplaying the kidsā as improbable and frankly a bit whiney. Youāre just setting yourselves up for disappointment.

Iāve taken a day to gather my thoughts, but iām still pretty happy with where we are at. First impressions of the game, i think we kept attacking and kept taking it up to the crows regardless of the scoreline. It was really awesome to see the crowd and the boys keep fighting even when we were down by 6 goals. Those who didnāt attend the game who could of, I hope you enjoyed Jobeās goal from the couch. It was literally worth the ticket to see that. Personnel wise, Colyer has offered nothing for a while now, and Howlett is unfortunately past it. We will still make the finals. Go dons.

On Saturday it was definitely the second one.
Had absolutely zero impact on the game. Jogged around like a headless chook and if his job is to pressure the defenders and lock the ball in he failed miserably. Rarely sticks a tackle and for someone who I thought had some pace he barely could raise a jog at times

when we are good green is good, in tougher games green seems to be found out and exposed for his lack of height/strength/pace in 1-1ās.
there are quite a few wyou could put in a good argument to drop.
Would like to see if adding Longs speed would help.
