B: Simpson - Livingston - Sporn
HB: Waite - Thornton - Teague

HF: Chambers - Whitnall - Bryan
F: Betts - Fevola - Lappin

R: French - Stevens - Koutoufides

I/C: Russell - Davies - Morrell - McGrath

Wouldn't mind the giving this team a run! I mean, the general talk around town is that we've all but given up hope of achieving anything other than 2nd last or worse this year - which by the way i think is Piss Weak - so that being the case, let's take some risks!

I love the idea of Waite down at Half Back. Has the height, one of the best marks in the side, has pace so can run it down the centre if needed!

DeLuca is cut because he hasn't shown me anything this year other than a half decent 10min spout!
He has been replaced with Bryan because he has polled in our best 5 (bullants) 4 times this year! And is great in the ruck!

Would love to see Carrazzo come in the midfield! oooohhhhhh baaabbbbbyyyy!
Simpson has taken over his spot down back!

I've cut Scotland............replaced him with Chambers!

Wanted to put in Setanta................but can't because we need somebody injured!

i wanna see reality.

And reality is we suck

I wont stop supporting the blues ever !! BUT we have to wake up and realise we aint any good.

I will happy seeing the kids run around all year busting a gut and not winning another game all year.

None of this bullshit that it will scar them for life - it will prepare them for next year when he have the 2 best young kids in the country and a prize recruit from another club through the PSD and a serious tilt at finals footy

please everybody erase the wizard cup from your memory it meant nothing but a boost to the bank balance.

I'm with you Ryan. I want respect. I want to play tough and uncompromising footy. I want to fight to win every game. I don’t care if it means the difference between picks 1 AND 2 or pick 10, because I sure as hell don’t want to be the type of club that forsakes season upon season of ‘building’ for a crack at a premiership every 8 years. Premiership teams don't always have No. 1 draft picks, but they all play hard.

I want spirit and desperation. I want to go to the footy every week, knowing I will get everything the players have. If we lose I want the opposition to feel it. I want tackles that knock the wind out of those filthy bastards, and I want them to be thinking about THAT the next time they go near the footy. I want to know that someone will fly the flag.

I can’t remember the last time we played footy like that.

And the next time Kouta is being lined up by Brock McLean (I think) for a shepherd (last quarter), instead of pulling up, I want Kouta to look him in the eye and bump him into next week.

... and that's ALL I want.

Still need to stick to this plan playing the kids and giving them some more responsibility - need to get fisher back - wiggins bentick and simpson should be preferred to bowyer and johnson - de luca if possible put on the LTI list and Setanta elevated and give him more than half a game
Play french and bryan in tandem
Take a view on clarke bowyer morrell bannister johnson with 8 games to go and if not there next year young ones to be preferred
Each of blackwell russell hartlett should also get a taste of it

Play the kids ... and for Gods sake dont win 5 1/2 games.
People who think we will go forward winning 5 1/2 games plus...just dont understand the ways of the world....
