Rewind by catching up with all the hot footy issues right here The boys discuss the inconsistencies when it comes to physical marking contests. St Kilda coach Scott Watters is this weeks guest on the couch. Fox Footy expert Paul Roos, right, says early losses and Taylor Walker's injury makes it hard for Adelaide to make the finals. Herald Sun chief football writer Mark Robinson commented on the fallout from Adelaide spearhead Taylor Walker's season-ending knee injury. I think when the stars go down it hurts the whole sport. He's a major contributor to all facets of the game... former players talk about him in quite a revered way the way he moves, the way he kicks the ball. "Tex Walker is a considerable figure in this game and when he went down I think everyone went "Oh no, not you Tex."" Co-host Gerard Whateley called for the AFL to dump its video review system following blunders in the Fremantle-Richmond and Hawthorn-North Melbourne games. Video review is embarrassing the preeminent sporting code in the country... it fails so comprehensively. (It) should be abandoned for the time being because it's letting the game down. Whateley called for two goal umpires and cameras on the goal posts. Robbo agreed, adding fans had lost faith in the video review system. Collingwood opposition analyst Rodney Eade said goal umpires had no place on the field of play. What do the tennis refs do, they look down the line... they're supposed to have video technology, don't come into the field of play. Crows coach Brenton Sanderson is followed off the field by the injured Taylor Walker after Saturday night's loss to Carlton at the MCG. He said Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson faced mental and tactical challenges replacing key forward Walker. (It's) no good putting players (in the forward line) for the sake of putting height if they can't catch it. Essendon assistant coach Mark Thompson said it would be "tough" for the Crows. Have they got any replacements good enough to win them games? On West Coast, Eade said coughing up a 41-point lead would have rocked the foundations. No doubt they've got good players to come back and they've had a lot of injuries but obviously they need to win some games soon to be able to turn that around. Thompson said North Melbourne's spate of close losses had the potential to "grate on" the club and allow doubts to creep into the players' minds. The panel then turned its attention to free kicks paid in marking contests. Eade said there was a bit of inconsistency. I think they need to be able to allow players to compete for the ball. On The Couch Paul Roos returned to the couch after missing last week's show. Roos was in the United States attending an AFL combine aimed at identifying athletes, mostly college basketball players, capable of playing Aussie Rules. He said given time to develop some players at the combine had the potential to make it to the big time. Injuries to Cyril Rioli and Taylor Walker were high on the agenda. Mike Sheahan said it was no surprise to see Rioli break down given his explosiveness. Roos said Adelaide would struggle to make the eight after their 1-4 start and the loss of Taylor Walker. (Walker injury) puts so much more pressure now on their midfield. They're going to have to manufacture goals. I don't think (premiership) can happen now. North Melbourne's poor record in close matches was back on the agenda. Roos said ball use was critical and that the Kangas had to lower their eyes forward of centre. They are doing a lot of right, playing some really good teams... I think it's about 80m out that they're struggling, it's their last kick inside-50. So many players down there, access to the football, its the difference between kicking the ball to advantage (as they did against Geelong) to bombing it in. Roos was confident Richmond was on the right track and had to win a few close games to build its confidence. The panel praised Port Adelaide youngster Jake Neade and forward Robbie Gray, returning from a knee reconstruction last year. Former Herald Sun chief football writer Mike Sheahan said Neade reminded him of veteran Melbourne speedster Aaron Davey, five years ago. St Kilda coach Scott Watters was on the couch and shed some light on project forward Tom Lee and Stephen Milne's return after serving a one-match ban for gouging. We dont talk interanlly about rebuilding... I think every list needs to evolve and grow," Watters said. Knowing there is a gap on our list. between 2008-2010 23 players were recruited, five of those players remain on our list so there's a disconnect there. We're not going to give games to any young player, they've got to earn it. Watters said Justin Koschitzke's form in the VFL for Sandringham warranted a recall. Watters commended the Swans for the way their back six stopped St Kilda's forwards from attacking the ball. He said he would like to see the Saints adopt similar tactics. Watters said Milne would be in "strong consideration" to play this week. He said mature-aged recruit Tom Lee was a work in progress, there's elements he needs to work on. His power is probably 12-18months away from where I think it needs to be. He's got great hands, a good footy head. Sheahan turned his attention to Carlton and said he expects Jarrad Waite to return after making his comeback from a calf injury in the VFL last week. Sheahan also hinted at a possible return for ruckman Matthew Kreuzer. Open Mike Former Melbourne great David Schwarz was the guest. The 173-game veteran spoke about his childhood, knee injuries, his addictive personality his thoughts about the Melbourne Football Club today. Schwarz said for the first time in his life he is addiction free after giving up gambling, smoking and drinking coffees. He said gambling was his life. If I didn't give up the punt, then I'd be in jail. Schwarz said he would do "anything" to ensure the Melbourne Football Club survived as long as he was still able to put food on the table. He said he was open to a position on the board or joining the club as a coach. Schwarz said he doesn't expect senior coach Mark Neeld to be at helm in 2014. He said it didn't look like the Demons were playing for the coach during the first three rounds of the season. Schwarz slammed the AFL for allowing corporate bookmakers to infiltrate the game. Strauggling Hawthorn captain Luke Hodge yesterday. Footy Classified The panel spoke about Collingwood star Scott Pendlebury questioning the Magpies work-rate following the club's Anzac Day loss to Essendon. Matthew Lloyd revealed the backlash he received from teammates after he made comments as captain that the Bombers "weren't hard enough" in a media interview. I walked back into the Essendon Football Club the next day and I could feel the eyes of senior players piercing through me saying don't put that in media circles. Go hard behind closed doors (not in public). The conversation shifted to Dale Thomas contract negotiations with Lloyd calling on the underdone Magpie to lift his game. Lloyd said on current form Thomas would be up for a substantial pay cut if he was to ink a deal now. Hawthorn skipper Luke Hodge was the guest on the program. Hodge conceded the club would be "very disappointed" if it wasn't able to win a premiership in the next two or three years. He said Jeff Kennett's passion for the football club couldn't be brought into question, despite the former president at times making "silly" comments. Hodge said he was happy about how Lance Franklin was handling himself on and off the field amid his stalled contract negotiations. Hodge said defender Brian Lake worked very hard on fitness during the pre-season. Port Adelaide, North Melbourne and Richmond were also on the agenda.
