What's up with Fas? He was a gun the last few years, why isn't he getting games?

I think it's the defensive side of his game that they want him to improve. That's what I'm getting when I hear Bucks talk about him

Bloke can run and kick a goal, but seems hesitant to get in to a pack, put his head over it, break a line or make a tackle. He doesn't have that bit of intensity needed in the high pressure game that AFL has become. If he would put his body on the line for a hard ball, he would have the potential to be a fantastic player because the speed, skills and athleticism are there.

3 point win to the VFL side in the curtain raiser at Punt Road. Hopefully a good omen for the main show.

Really glad De Goey is getting a run, and great to have the Seed back.
Dwyer is a little stiff, was there any word on why he was subbed last week?
2
He had his lower leg iced, but there was no mention of him on the injury update, so... not really sure if he's injured or dropped.

He played pretty poorly last week. It's a shame because at his best he's almost another Pendles in terms of composure with ball in hand, but his bad games he just has no influence.
2
As long as De Goey isn't used as the sub again. Need him to play a full game

getting in early with the pregame thread: I like it

I really like Doggie Dwyer. He's a hard little mongrel of a player and I'm disappointed to see him dropped. I hope DeGoey is up to it. From what I hear, he is just as hard at it. His last appearance showed some good signs, and perhaps a few weeks in the VFL has improved him some more. Great to have the Seeder back.
I'd like to see Trav slot a few from in close this week to shut up his detractors. Jesse White would want to improve too. He is the biggest showbag of all time (looks good, but full of crap). If he doesn't imrove, I hope to see him dropped and give the big Gaulter a run, or try another young fella up there, because IMO, Jesse just isn't working. Last week he seemed scared to run at the ball and take a mark. Something just wasn't right with him and I know he's capable of more than what he has dished up at the pies thus far.
The Wee-man has seemingly been quiet of late, though his pressure has been nothing short of excellent. Pendles and Swanny have been good as we have all come to expect. Adams still leaves me wanting a bit more. That next step that he occasionally threatens to take looms close I think. Marley has been consistently good in that back 50 rebound role,
Frosty and Brown have been sublime down back. Frosty could go all Australian this year if he continues to play as he has so far (excluding his short stint on Hawkins in the 1st quarter last week). He chases, tackles, smothers, punches and puts in not just that second effort, but the third and fourth goes at it too. His speed for a big bodied hard nut is remarkable and I just have nothing bad to say about him.
Smash the tiges this week boys.
I'm stealing that show bag line. Too good.
