I said Bont, Macrae, Libba but doesn’t matter who we have we will not stem floods of oppo goals especially top notch teams like Dees unless our mids become more defensively minded, and unless we are...

I too cracked the shits last night, especially after the first quarter, whenever Williams, Macrae (early on, he did improve later), McComb and Crozier turned the ball over.

Out: McComb, Crozier, Sweet, Williams
In: Garcia, Cleary, English, Richards

If English and Richards not ready then Sweet and Williams stay in. Cannot see Bevo playing both Sweet and English. If...

Apologies to Marra

Agree. Our delivery into F50 and turnovers killed us. Would have been nice to dominate the midfield but after Q1 that didn’t happen. I thought some of our boys kept trying all night eg West but our...

Who else do we have to play on Cameron? Agree about Neale given that much space.

He and Bedendo are the two good things we can take out of tonight. And that promising players like Cleary should play more games. Hope the McComb experiment is finished.

Add Williams to that. And Schache has had a night to forget.

Probably not but I don’t want them to give up. Whilst it’s mathematically possible I want them to battle it out.

Got to fight this out & not lose too much %.

That goal was a killer. Fight it out boys.

Our backline looks so fragile. Will have to dominate midfield like we did in Q1 I think to prevail. Plus reduce the turnovers. And umps take off their lion’s coloured glasses. We’re in this. C’mon...

Negative Nellie-how often does Bailey Williams turn it over or miss a target?

Love Sweet’s competitiveness so far.

Marra a lovely mark down the line , more of that please.

And Libba - what...

I’ll be upset if Schache is dropped. Showing real promise and dropping him now would dent his confidence. Has done enough to be retained, plus forward line works better with him in it. I think West &...

Congrats Dom. Enjoyed watching your silky form in VFL. All the best with your debut.

I watched half of 3rd qtr & most of last quarter of cats came tigers (whilst making a finely chopped salad - dangerous thing to do in a tight match). As a neutral that was a ripper match. Result I...

4 would be better for us! Just watched clip on afl website. Sickening to watch Prestia on ground.

Scott was good tonight. Think he might have had spells in backline after Richards was out too. A versatile player. Usually a reliable kick and handball.

Agree Divvy. He is a little ripper. Like Libba plays like his life depends upon it. Also really doing good team things too - some of his passing like wow. And his tackling. So good to see Schache...

Oh bum. Hope he is ok. Thx for update.

What is injury to Richards?

Would cheer for him if he played for another team. What a great clubman and well spoken gent he is.

Gave up watching Dees vs lions - looks like lions are in need of a good mid to support Neale.

I know most hope we keep Dunkley but just spitballing: Would lions be interested in one of our mids...

If we do chase him let’s hope he is a better goal kick than his namesake (who I liked watching for his grit & guts however kinda felt like he was going to spray kicks for goal every time he had a...

For me B Smith (if he can control his temper) is a potential captain in waiting and before him I’d say Naughty who loves the club and speaks well. Not sure either would want captaincy and who knows...

Great news regarding Tim. Well done Sam Power.

Straw poll woofers:

I’m hoping we can retain both but if hypothetically we can only keep one of Mullet Man or Dunks who would you choose? I’m torn but if I had to choose (with fantastic recent...

Perhaps consistent? I’m recalling memories of articles implying mistreatment of a small stature person, unsavoury pics…..

Wishing Tim the best with regard to his recovery.

Shows how important it is to have a few decent rucks. C’mon Sweetie-step up & do well young man.

And he is from Freo. Surely he would accept that. Does it mean Freo more likely to lose a decent player or two? Who would we be able to afford to poach?

Thank Gvgjr-you we’re typing answer as I...

I like your thinking. Cleary out with covid so did not play vfl last night but if he is ok I agree with you. Buku is another option.

If Weightman out McNeil elevated into 22. If not McNeill stays as sub.

Geez, forgot about Hunter. Perhaps Hunter for McComb although thought he did ok tonight, especially in second half-can see why Bevo picks him as hard to tackle and good in tight, just wish he’d kick...

I thought Schache did enough to keep his spot. His ruck work was ok including follow up deft touches.

Crozier in for Duryea. Possibly Bruce in for Marra although I thought Marra presented well and...

Same for me with apologies to Daniel.

How good has Daniel been tonight? Some really crucial moments and he has somehow stayed composed. Happy he has signed in for 4 more.

And some of Libba’s work in tight spaces.

And Macrae’s gut...

Wow, Schache & Marra selected. Super excited to see how they go. Hope West continues to cement his spot. Love seeing him blossom when given chance.

Naughty boy EW - dick emery standard of humour & yes I laughed

Great work by club resigning two guns in Give our Dailey Bale bread and Maestro Caleb.

Timmy (2 years from reports) soon and Smithnext priorities and then IMO West & Dunks.
