    So true. I had Dale banished to the outer rim when he scuffed that left foot around the corner set shot and then stood there cursing. I've eased back to just never to play again, who knows by Wednesday where he will be!

    While Trengove. Lewis Young, West, Weightman and Sweet cool their heels for reasons unknown, Llloyd and especially Dale are liabilities. Dale seems to play one good game in 12. A bit like the cricketer who has a dozen innngs under 10 then scores a "promising" 50 to be retained. Both should be dropped.

    I didn’t love his game but had him ahead of Lloyd by a fair way. I’d be fine with him staying and Lloyd going out.

    West has been injured I’m pretty sure. Think he’s close but probably not quite there.

    Yeah, tough gig for a kid to come into the side after injury with no VFL games. The scratch matches may help a little bit.

    As an aside, I think this is one great virtue of this site during isolation. Somehow watching the game alone, and checking in at the intervals feels like you are still with a few supporters, and sharing the experience.

    Thanks to all who contribute to game day threads.

    I think the game day thread is also a perfect medium for a lot of us to vent. I’d be curious to know if the number of posts are typically higher during a poor performances than vs a good one. I should rephrase that - I’d like to know by how much it’s higher during a poor performance

    I think the game day threads are pretty good, sure there are a couple that take a negative view but you're going to hear that at the actual game anyway.

    I'd prefer for things to be a bit more positive but we can't have everyone towing the company line because that would become boring

    And let's be fair, we've had more bad moments than good on field the last 3 years.

    I love the GD threads, nothing better than blasting off amongst like-minded peers and I take back nothing I say in the heat of the moment
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I agree. Dale has significant upside. You don't kick 20 in 5 games unless you do. Also around the ground as a link up player he is pretty effective when he gets his hands on the footy.

    The shot for goal was awful and he will no doubt have had to live through that replay about 100 times.....can you imagine the team feedback session and stick he will get. If you are going to make a call that 2 of Suckers, Lloyd or Dale much go, the I would plump for Dale to stay - more upside.

    I don't visit the game day thread during the game (call me crazy but I'm usually watching the game!!!) but I do take some enjoyment in reading over it afterwards if we have a game where we start poorly and then get our act together and win.....lots of toys out of the cot that need to put back in!!

    I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
