Please let us play Carlton in the finals when Rocca is back to straighten us up. We might not have anyone capable off stopping Fevola this year but they don't have anyone capable of stopping Rocca, Medhurst, Cloke, Didak and Davis.

Clearly Carlton run all over us in the midfield using Judd, Stevens, Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson and Scotland to feed Fevola.

We need to get on top of these midfielders so Tarkyn, Burns, Pendlebury, O'Bree, Swan, needed Rhyce on to help them win the ball (not just stop Judd).

We have a great forward line and good midfield with a mixed backline just lacking one big leader (to replace James Clement's spot) to help O'Brien, H.Shaw, Wakelin (now very slow), Johnson, Clarke (used to stop and then run off small forwards), Bryan (who drifts back deep to block the hole and is playing very courageous committed football nowadays). We need to develop a key backline player to stop power forwards and to win a grand final, someone to launch attacks from the deep like Clement used to.

It's been too long since 1990 but Tony Shaw should never talk about how to coach, rather stick to talking about how to play!!!!!!!!

but i waffle on and on.....
