Would have brought in Cumbo. Kicked 3 against the Dees last year. Other than Shai and hopefully LeFau to kick a couple; we have no other goalkickers. And i don't care about Cumbo’s form in the 2’s the guy knows how to kick goals.

surprised Kosi got dropped, thought he would have had a role against Lever & May. Maybe Miller up forward.

Either
a) someone within the MC is trying to sabotage Yze
b) we are tanking
c) Yze has already lost the plot

Banks in for what/who?
Macauliffe out while Dow does what?
Our fwd line is depleted and Kosi just got dropped yet Cumbo still no show
If precise kicking is our new thing why isn't Coulthard given a show

Dow against Petracca should be fun to watch

Selections of late are really mindboggling. I get the cupboard is pretty thin due to injuries but some of the calls defy logic

Perhaps we realised after West Coasts sudden resurgence we are a real chance for no 1 pick

Sonsie needed to be dropped due to the lack of intensity and shirked a few contests that didn't go down well. Certain posters had him named in the centre this week which was 🤣. Anyway I am surprised McIntosh survived but perhaps he was playing sore. His form has been ordinary to say the least.

Maybe it WAS too early for McAuliffe to debut and the coaches just wanted him to get a sip of what it's like. Doesn't matter for me I want picks.

I don't mind Sonz dropping back. We need him to be a mid, he needs to learn that in the VFL and then come back to the AFL and show he can then do it at the higher level.
Recruited as a mid, junior
Mid? 3 years in the system? Surely has some idea how to play mid and surely has been schooled a bit by now

Fair enough if that was the case - could have gone other way though and thrown in the Anzac misfield furnace - no tip-toeing son

This team would struggle to beat a team from 2010.
It's an underwhelming team on paper.
Can't see us getting anywhere near Melbourne.

Agree with alot of your sentiment although Coulthard was atrocious in the VFL last game. Has great ability but needs to find form. McAuliffe just play him, he's going to be multiples the player Dow will ever be. Kmac should have been dropped. Banks, Ralphsmith, Pickett have been playing wing, how many do we need? Start picking representing where we are as a team, it's a rebuild.
