What? Kennedy still can't get a game.

He'd be an automatic in for Adams for mine, that is if Adams deserves a suspension.

I thought Maynard played ok. Enough to keep his spot.
made a few howlers late in the game. Kicked the ball straight back to Port players. Needs to think his way through things out there (something DeGoey does beautifully by the way).
the same de goey that turned it over on more than one occasion? maynard should keep his spot. moore back to the vfl.

Apart from the first quarter we battled hard, but really we never looked like winning it until the last 7 minutes. Adams was fantastic. Clearly we were too top heavy and playing Moore probably cost us the game. Kennedy would have given us the added zip we desperately needed. We badly missed Marley too. I'm a Bucks fan, but tonight we lost it at the selection table. We played much better with De Goey on the ground. It's terribly gut wrenching to narrowly lose another game, but this one is worse because it was against a bottom 8 side.

WE should perhaps go all out for Hawkins and Yarran for next season, our forward line, or lack thereof, is a real concern, and we miss too many soda goals, fix our forward line and we can start too really move up.

it doesn't help that the afl's facebook page put up a video of the incident. whatever happened to the whole not showing footage of an incident after the game? wasn't that a thing once upon a time? i guess he wasn't reported.

That'll do me, cheers, I'm out

Tried our arses off, well 16 players did, the 6 forwards were beyond terrible.

Need to fix that forward line or we aren't going anywhere.

Second game in a row I think we lost in part at the selection table.

Moore shouldn't have played last week or tonight imo. Nothing against the kid, but he just doesn't look ready physically and looks lost in play. Maynard is a beautiful kick, but last week (3) and this week (1) makes some poor risk/reward decisions. I can see why Bucks wanted a look at him though.

Gave up a ~5 goal start and came back to lose by only 3 points.

We will be fighting it out with many for a spot in the 8 now - unlike some others, I hope they select best 22 and not gift games to develop guys. If we make the 8 we can do some damage as our best is good enough.

There will likely be forced outs next week (Broomhead - shoulder, Adams - MRP 1 or 2 weeks I suspect) with Williams presumably back and, hopefully, Greenwood.

I'm a Bucks fan, but he coached badly tonight, including at the selection table.
