    Apart from Jones, would our Willy forward-line (Vez, Grant, Macrae, Stringer) perform better at AFL level?

    Grant did a lot of little things well yesterday, Stringer is not match fit but will be fantastic when he is, Macrae is ready now and Vez can play bursts and his disposal is excellent.

    Not sold on Campbell at all - not great forward, and shouldn't play in the same side as Will.

      Other positive - Roughy is a great backman. Decision of the year to redeploy him down there.

        Well - Tigers are just very good today.
        Even if we lose, keep the goals coming boys and never give in.
        I watch a lot of MMA. even when they have you on the ropes, if you just hang in, you can get an opening. Door is still open.

          They'd be awesome for 40 mins of footy I suspect and then you couldn't rotate the bench quickly enough to control the puff. I rekon it'll be a new look forward line in 12 months - hopefully we can build it around these + Jones.

            Surely you'd have to concede its been well and truly shut?

              This is getting very ugly.

              We're just flat today and can't seem to get on top in the middle. Our ball movement has been poor and reactive.
              Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                Just after I typed that, about 4 goals were piled on. Yes, now I would have to agree.

                  Poor all over the ground. Lots of passengers.

                      Dahl choosing not to chase has been nearly as bad as Higgins and now that is scary!

                      Young and Morris trying their buts off kudos to them.

                        We just can't get the ball past the centre of the ground!
                        And when we do, it rebounds straight back into te hands of the opposition.

                          Our midfield have not fired a shot today. And our experienced players on every line have been woeful, with the exception of Crossy & Cooney.

                          Higgins & Gia, have just not worked hard enough today. How much longer will we persist with Higgins? Time is running out for him to become an AFL footballer at our club.

                            He chased Deledio then, bigger problem is he was free in the first place.

                              Picken. What is he thinking. He is a turnover merchant. I do not like him playing as a defender.

                                He must be dropped. He has been more insipid than Josh hill at Geelong that day just disgraceful.
