TOPIC:

Golding is a bit lucky to keep his spot but fair enough to give him another run. Maxy is a certainty on that bench list, not sure if Jake South will come in as that would be 3 ruckmen unless they want to add some height up forward. Hope Junior Hansen gets a run, he's a very clever small forward with good goal sense. Looking forward to what should be a hard tight contest between 2 well matched teams.

Just looked at the fixtures and this is a must win with Cl, Joondy, SF and EF the next 4 games.

I can’t help thinking about Maxy popping up in the forward line taking strong marks. I wonder how he would go at CHF?
185cm about the same as Sokol. And a good set shot with strong recovery 

I see Borchet is an out for the ressies, hopefully nothing serious

Borchett concussion from last week
hansen jnr to debut
Morgan and Abe Clinch also come in
Carn Subi...its game day!

Battle of the co-tenants with Subiaco currently in the favourites corner at one $ & fifty cents, as opposed to the 2 dollars 75.

We have been putrid to half time. Have hardly won a clearance. Boys look totally disconnected. Hope we can at least make it respectable because a 58 pt margin at half time is woeful. We need to change it up.

Well...we had a crack after half time but it was left by too many to too few. We were smashed through the middle by Brayshaw, Crowden and Schumacher. Not trying to sound like a broken record but Braut is all at sea playing up forward. He's not mobile enough and doesn't read the ball coming in as a forward should. Also, the disposal efficiency of the Hickmott's must be in the low 30s I reckon as they turn it over far too often.

Noah Ash is not a league footballer and Wagenknecht needs to learn how to play in the ressies as 3 disposals for an entire game is not good enough.

Giro was superb and must go close to the Sandover if he continues in this form, Soks good, Schofield is a bit timid but at least he hit the scoreboard, Clarke another good effort and Aaron Heal held the backline together, Golding did some good things. All in all a dirty day.

A special mention to the umpires...it must be a new record to only receive 4 free kicks for an entire game. It didn't cost us the match but it did impact on keeping us close to EP as they were running away...it really beggars belief just how poor they were today.

The umpires were shocking!
Clearances are killing us...first half we only got a couple i reckon. 2nd half very good. Braut fwd was woeful. Max had a mare which is very unusual. Agree with hickmont 100%
Smaller fwds did their bit when down there...hansen 2 goldy 2 robbo 1. 

Well this is what I initially expected this year to be like so no real surprise to me although I was hopeful after the scratchies. As I said last week we would have to play a lot better than we did against the dees to even trouble the better sides, well I didn’t really class the ferals as one of the better sides and they still gave us a flogging. Fkn pissed right off tbh. We as long term diehards shouldn’t have to put up or be served up that shit, fkn disgrace, fkn shit head coach, girl assistant, fuck right off
