and would have suited us vs Richmond...also would have played White...
Pickett, Smedts and my whipping boy Boekhorst has a look of unreliability I dont like....Graham looks a more reliable player which makes me nervous...
I reckon you'll see a lot more rotations of fringe and newbies for the rest of the year.
i think they'll use the rest of the season to test the list fringe players and, lets face it, we have quite a few still.

I don't mind the ins providing they play their role. There is still upside in performance levels for all three players. White and Kerridge potential upside is done and dusted but I think Smedts might have some more in him.

Lost Williamson, Fisher and Cunningham. 7, 11 and 10 possession last week. Not the end of the world that they miss. Pickett is the type of player that will play better at AFL level. We need his speed.

It might be that over time I am getting to the stage that it is hard to 'believe', but the closer this game comes the more worried I am. I hate the Tigers are much as the next, but my head tells me that are a good side and consistently so. Yes it is great to see them blowing leads, but this they have played a good game in all games except for the Adelaide game.
They are genuine premiership contenders the way the AFL now is. Their smalls worry me up forward, the same goes with Dusty. He is paying 9.00 as the leading goal kicker and it would not surprise me to see him bag 3-4 goals in this game.
I am still hopeful for a win, but like quite a few games this year I am weary. I am hoping Bolton can have the team go into this game with the same level of desperation that we took into the game against GWS and most importantly that we can start with the intensity we had last week (but also make it count on the scoreboard).
HUGE game for our club this week!
Goals for 2017

Play the most anti-social football in the AFL
