GT clearly didn't put much emphasis on player development, and injury has been a factor for some. I think Watts and Brooks should be in the seniors from now on, but the rest of the players mentioned seem to me to be not up to senior level and should be delisted.

If we're going to build a team for future success, we need to do a lot of changing of personnel and build a new structure. I'll be a little bit blunt, but gone should be Gehrig (2 seasons overdue), Milne (should have been chopped by now), X&R Clarke (over-rated and injury-prone), Harvey (great m...

Being the best tackling team didn't win us flag a couple of years back, its a lot deeper than that. One big problem is our engine room in the middle, it runs out of gas too easy and when that happens it can't deliver the ball with any penetration. Much and all as Dal Santo and Hayes are talented, th...

Changes..drop out of form players for starters :Gehrig, XClarke, Milne and LFisher. Give our future players all the ground time necessary. C Jones is coming back from a serious shoulder injury, and he needs game time to get confidence and it will come. Bring in Watts and Voss at least, and anyone el...

Interesting to see RL getting bagged by some - reminds me of Clarkson at Hawthorn, everyone wanted to give him the boot earlier on, but he is now is getting results by sticking to his game plan and recruiting well. Give RL a chance as he needs the year for everyone to get the cursed GT hangover out ...

We know how great Harvey is, but he really should quietly retire at the end of the season. We need now to build a new team and I don't think we can go forward with old bodies, sad as it sounds.

As already said here, we didn't deserve to win and also got a few soft frees in our favour. Dont' let dodgy umpiring disguise the fact that we played crap footy.

Any player who shows real form in VFL should be in line for selection -there's a few slackers in the seniors who aren't producing and need the pressure on them.

We have to be constructive when looking at how the club will improve. If the team can't win crucial games to get ourselves into the the eight when we have a strong lineup (on paper) then there are problems, same as the problem of going through a season without the ability to kick good winning scores...

We could still make the finals and I am still expecting the Hawks and Cats to go off the pace as the season goes on.
