    White needs to come in . If you are going to beat the press you need to kick over it and get number to the contest if the ball is not marked , can't have Reid and Goodes as our only tall targets . If Mumford gets off seeby back to the 2's and LRT back up ruck . Need so pace around the packs as well .. Is Brett Meredith a option ?

      You guys crack me up. They will not drop the co-captain (unfortunately).

            Sick of people calling to chop the Bird.

            What do people think of playing Jetta in the back pocket? I think it could be a good move, on Didak maybe, or Blair.

            Last week I said Kennelly should be omitted, because we have too many defenders in the team. After today, it should be done for form.

              ...What's the question?

              He's shown he can average two goals a game. I would have liked two more today.

                I think Jetta would be absolutely ripped apart by Didak. Not because he wouldn't give a decent contest, but because he is still a young body with average tackling skills and Didak (both on and off the field) is a slimy character that takes plenty of quality defenders to town. Couldn't do much worse than Kennelly did today however!

                  Has played 45 games for 48 goals, still that's better than some of our forwards today i'll admit.

                    Ted is unlikely to play next week.
                    That should sort out the too many talls problem. LRT back to defence.

                    Don't know about Seaby. He was brilliant last week, had only two touches today. White isn't the answer.

                    No way McVeigh will be dropped, but you do wonder about our onfield leadership.

                    After today I'm thinking we need to play TDL if he's fit. Even when our forward line is working we're missing stupidly easy goals. The guy's a goal magnet.

                    Maybe give consideration to Johnston. Don't know who he'd replace but he's a genuine forward target and can kick a goal.

                      The truth is that white offers more than johnston both in the air and on the ground. LJ is a fantastic kick and played out of the goal square might kick a couple of goals but he really needs another 6 months in reserves as he was simply way too easily bodied out of contests against north. white is not the answer but i know he is a bigger part of the answer. it is implausible to me tat he wouldnt have kicked multiple goals against brisbane and port - goals which seem to have given people a mistaken impression of LRT and our forward line.

                        If he could tackle it might be an option.
                        The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

                          Solves one problem that should have been resolved at the selection table.

                            I know he's been a great player for the club but i think Kennelly should retire,in hindsight i dont think he should have ever got a game again after going back home for a year.His disposal last year and this is generally deplorable and he seems to be lacking in mobility and unfortunately thats also caused his decision making to wane as well,many times this year and last he's looked like a deer in the headlights when he has the ball,he does things you'd expect your first or second year guys to do not your veterans.Rohan hopefully will be the tonic off halfback once fit again.

                            Out-Mummy[susp],Ted,Kennelly
                            In-Sumner,Johnston,TDL

                            Goodes to the middle,LRT backline,and give Jetta the job on Krakour at least for a 1/4 just so he can learn how to use all that speed and skill to effect.

                              And this year he played 5 games for 6.3, however he's only really played half a game in each game as a forward. Those 6 were kicked in the first 3 games, then he had 2 stinkers in the wet.

                              I think it's perfectly reasonable based on the forward line over the past few weeks to ponder Jesse's inclusion as a forward.
                              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
