Pre match. Pies v. Saints - All comments please

What's the meaning of taking Varcoe out? He is one of the best things we have recruited in years. Worth every cent. Do you actually come to the games and watch him play? He is a champion and a great leadership influence on the younger blokes. Look at what a fantastic Premiership player he was at Geelong. Balme rates him highly and that's why we got him. He is an amazing talent and will rise higher with each game. Without him we would not have beaten the Bears in Round One. So please when you are calling for players to be dropped, put down your beer googles and pick ones who deserve to be rather than champions.

We should win and in saying that it's not always the case. White will be interesting this week, I wonder if Tarzan or Jane will turn up. The team will come back to match ups but as we don't have the match fit players I can only see Sincalir out and the Goer in as sub.

How do we stop Josh Bruce as he is in Great Form in his 1st 2 Games up Forward

In: Dwyer, DeGoey, Witts if fit or Reid.
Out: Fasolo, Goldsack, Sinclair (inj)

Maybe Brown out if there is no match up for him - too slow for Reiwoldt and not sure who else the saints have as a plodding forward since Kozshitski left... then Freeman in as sub.

Save Moore for ANZAC day!

Goldsack will play his handful of standout games but he'll never be better than an honest battler.

His whole career has been the same, an eternal tease so why would it change now?

Some supporters seem to have a real problem in that they want to see a more talented side take to the field but don't want to drop the good guys of the team in order to do it.

Something has to give in order for change.

I don't think Reid will play AFL this week. Still playing limited time. Witts is very close to ready. De Goey needs some more VFL games where he gets more involved with more disposals. Freeman was close to BOG. Looking very, very fit. May get a game soon. I suspect we may bring in one or two debutants in the next three weeks.

Their three talls are riewoldt, bruce and membrey. Mccartin not even playing.
Brown isnt going anywhere other than fullback on friday night. Membrey is a log but is a straight shot at goal usually ( crap against G C )

For the pies to win, nothing changes. It starts with mid field pressure and hard running to help out the defence.

[slangman]

They need to workout what Goldsacks role is within the team. I feel that the coaches are unsure and he's playing accordingly.
De Goey needs to play a full game as does Freeman.

Fasolo needs to learn to present. Third qtr on a counter attack Langdon marked 50m out with a 2on2 in our forward line. Fas was 20m out beside his opponent and just waved for the ball to be kicked long. Not one lead was offered to Langdon by which time the crows got back and Langdons kick dropped 5m short. Fasolo is in his 5 season now and needs to be doing the basics on autopilot.

And while I'm at it about our forwards, any chance that one could play in front of his opponent?....😁

After re-thinking the situation this is what I would like to see. But it won't happen

Out goldsack sinclair varcoe Ramsey frost crisp
In karnezis Moore reid freeman de goey Witts

Toovey. Brown. Moore

Langdon. Reid. Williams

Freeman. Swan Seedsman

fasolo. Cloke. Broomhead

Elliot. White. Karnezis

Foll: Grundy. Pendles Adams

Inter: Blair Witts de goey oxley

We can't play both brown & frost in same team. Great stoppers but don't offer drive. They don't get the ball and when they do they don't use it well.

Goldsack doesn't hit the scoreboard or get heaps of possession. Karnezis will offer another scoring option

Moore & reid both are great readers of the play and can offer an attacking flair

Varcoe is not the future, freeman is and lets get games into him
