2018 VFL Rd 1: Northern Blues vs Collingwood

[Lods]

The point is there is no point dropping guys like Dow, Polson even Weitering.... if they're going to be part of that debacle.
That's not a learning experience.... it's a demoralising experience

Deckchairs.....I'd play Kerr or Harry ......the rest as you say..no point.

Given there were so many Carlton listed players in that drubbing, that has to say something about our list management. They have more injuries than us, but still their depth is THAT much better than ours? I'm a big SOS fan, but my faith is wavering

Lasted 3 quarters at the ground.  Graham at least contests and is a mature body who does work hard. DeKoning has promise and will get better. O’Brien ditto. Phillips is an adequate backup. Lobbe was injured early. McKay has great hands...when he bothers to use them. As a wildcard selection, I’d give Kerr a go, to let him show what he’s got and to highlight to McKay what the current pecking order is.  Silvagni presented well, spents some time on ball and will return shortly.

May as well do it at AFL level instead.

Gws and gold coast didn't win much and got their fair share of thumpings.

We don't have a list chock full of talent.  So the thumping may well be relative.....
Do you think our supporters could or would sustain regular 10+ goal losses?
If not, we might be the first to trial a "membership rebuild"  )
Novel. If nothing else.

This is beginning to smack of player disillusionment imo.

Been pushing up for Kerr and I think its time...he may not be in red hot form but he looks the business when he marks and kicks for goal, we need to take risks and fastrack players we think might help us...not go back to the tried and failed.

Sadly, that's the feeling I got in the second quarter.
But all is not lost because there were patches of the game that didn't reflect that.

A win or two and things change pretty quickly....but boy do we need that win or two. :

Well we've got the draw for it.

R4 - North (last year 15th, above us by % only)
R5 - West Coast (@MCG which they can't play)
R6 - Western Bulldogs (currently the only team in the comp below us)

After that, if it isn't already, it will get ugly.

Need some confidence, quick!

BB is fast tracking Polson for no particular reason so may as well give Kerr a good go.
At least like SOJ he will play for the jumper  :-\
