For all those SuperCoach players make Gawn your captain. He could seriously top 200 points tomorrow.

Given how long it has been since TDK has played in the firsts it could well be that the MC is concerned about his fitness and ability to see out a game.

If that's not the case then I haven't a clue.

Melbourne by 4 goals.

Exactly! That’s what I did when I heard he was in.
For a bloke trying to cement his place in the team never really tears it up In the 2s and then when he gets his chance I don’t think he earned he never puts his body into a contest with any real want. Just likes the non contact outside run with style yet his disposal is not good enough to excuse his lack of grunt at the contest or defensive pressure.
Has no 2nd gear and nowhere near up to the level when played in the guts imo and melb mids will slaughter him if we try him again in the middle.

After we lead by 2 goals at 3/4 time...lol.

I think Setterfield needs to be given the benefit of the doubt for now. 39 games, into his 5th season. Interrupted, stop start career.

I keep going back and checking the selections thinking it is some sort of sick perverted joke the club is pulling but it's not. It reality and the reality is we've blown it again before the game has even started. While I am happy enough with the outs, bar the unfathomable decision to retain Casboult, the ins are far from inspiring. Newman, fair enough. Murphy, well I guess under the circumstances, yes. Setterfield is a mistake regardless of him being played on the wing or on the ball. I've watched him closely in the VFL and he plays the same there as he does in the AFL. No intensity. No urgency and no desire. Kennedy has more of a crack. Just a nothing pick. He will fail tomorrow just as sure as Levi will, again!

On the flip side, there’s a bit of talent in the twos with Williamson, SPS, Dow, Honey, TDK all languishing down there

  Yeh back luck they’ve got a bye.

After 5 years !!  Shown nothing, does nothing, worth nothing.  Fraud and dud.  IMO of course
