    Khamis at fullback is "surprising" as is Garcia not getting a game before McNeil and Vandermeer. Curnow is currently $1.80 for the Coleman, get on before his price is odds on

    In future our upcoming victory will be known as " The Miracle at Marvel" and people's chests will fill with pride when they tell their children and grandchildren: "I WAS THERE!"

    Any idea of why Poulter was picked? Baker sub one week then dropped the next, now um I've got an idea lets give Poulter a try?

    We had some momentum I was really enjoying the season but I'm really scared for Bevo right now I have my fingers crossed and will be supporting hard.

    Curnow could break Fred Flanning's record this weekend.

    There's a suggestion Curnow's nursing a dodgy ankle he injured during warm-ups so I hope his opponent's been invited to channel the spirit of Steve Kretiuk this week.

    Keath can't be as ready as we need him to be.

    If the selection panel doesn’t trust Keath then why did we just pay him out at the end of last year?

    Why make him emergency then?

    Poulter had the winning ticket this week. Garcia can’t afford them

    The lack of selection integrity and lack of consistency ****ing shits me to tears.

    He has so much faith in some, and so little in others.

    I know the selection of players on the fringes will make **** all difference to the result this week, but geez it shits me.

    Pittonet in the ruck and TDK at full forward is interesting and possibly (hopefully?) a tell.

    I like hearing your take.
    I am a bit late now the team is out but like many l am concerned about JUH. In my opinion we are not using him well. Yes he is getting a goal or two every game. But why not 5 now and then?

    Because nonsense rules. We demanded change a couple of years ago and they gave us the four headed monster. We lapped it up and it was a fake. Encouraged long bombs into a forward line with at least 8 competing for every ball. The opposition saw this and made it 7 competing and one to bring the ball out. Look at the Freo game. Two heads missing and 20+ goals.

    One of the games that left both good and bad impressions was 2022 against Melbourne.

    Melbourne was second on the ladder and we were just outside it. We selected Josh Bruce who was clearly not ready. A Bevo classic. I took a screenshot of the afl stats page at three quarter time. Bruce: 0 possessions. Dogs about 2 goals behind. Playing pretty well but just not good enough.

    But JUH put in a match winning performance. 5 goals 0 behinds. He was not bouncing off teammates and opponents. He was out near the 50 m arc with space, momentum and balance. Out near me.

    Put him in his natural environment. Probably won?t work immediately, too much damage done and confidence lost. For that I blame blame everyone except Jamarra. If he could do it years ago why are we preventing it now?

    I once saw saw Franklin destroy us, he kicked his goals from similar positions.
