That’s rough. He needed to make every post a winner to be on the list next year.

5

I wonder what the story is with Gerryne’s shoulder. He wasn’t listed as injured on Tuesday, but not picked today.

6

Held over…? was reported the shoulder’s fine. Or maybe it hasn’t come up well

7

7 senior listed players. That’s fkg dire.

Especially given we just added 4 “fit” blokes to our list…

I would love to see both Dylan and Elijah dominate tonight just to stick it up alot of people here and demand the clown of a coach we have pick them

Shiel is f*cking done.

It doesn’t matter who the coach is. He’s an average player.

are we still a chance to win.

Tsatas, Shiel, Day wick in midfield

Eckersley and your boy Busitil on the wing.

And McMahon up forward kicking all the goals.

Plus Menzie, Davey and Unwin at his feet for the crumbs.

Might be Monteath watch again.

Maybe against Frankston.

Saying that, our midfield got spanked with Shiel, Parish and Tsatas a few weeks ago.

14

This is of absolutely no benefit to us going forward

15

Does anyone know if the Frankston ruckman is any good? I’m thinking in terms of gauging Monteath’s performance tonight.

16

Luke Parker was good today against Blues really led the way.

Where does Hobbs sit?
Below average ?

I’m pretty sure he already is… 18 month contract

Watching this on HD on 7. Looking forward to great coverage tonight.
