I was again rapt with some of the performances today..

Simon Buckley was excellent, showed some really good signs!

Martin was sensational, looked the part, this kid is a real BIG talent! with composure!

Morton played a good second half, and again looks 2-3cm taller!!

Valenti is getting better all the time!

Garland is Garland...

Dunn took another scalp!

CJ is really coming into his own, wow, was great!

Bell was Bell, thanks 4 coming!

Newton, well, hard to say, had a bit of a crack, needs alot more games..

But overall, alot of positives!! Especially Martin and Buckley..

Ive never EVER seen us have so many quality kids, its genuinely exciting!

Its not far away guys, not at all!

morton and valenti were crap.

morton was hesitant, fumbly and couldn't hit a target by foot.

valenti was bad by foot as well and tried to do too much when he had the ball.

stef martin was a plus, as was garland. thats about it.

Bell was excellent on Brad Johnson in the midfield, and provided some good bursts from the backline. But don't let your hatred get in the way of facts now :rolleyes:

Morton gets to all the right positions, then he is ignored by his teammates who suffer from tunnel vision.

Martin was great, and was extremely unlucky with the free paid against him. His composure really impressed me.

Is that a complement or an insult?

It was neither, just saying he should never play again, mr awkward he is!

Morton was good IMO, im not worried about the fumbles...yet..

Cale moves really well! youngest player out there, has alot of upside! be patient!please!

Only the second defence in the league to keep the Dogs to under 100 points... with all our injuries... AND on their home turf no less....

Finding one KP defender is one thing (Garland).... finding two is another (Warnock) and finding 3 is unbelieveable (Martin)...

I liked him today. Saw him chase on many occasions, took some great marks.

We would all be going crazy if he kicked straight, would have had 3 or 4 goals.

Bulldogs supporter asked me about him, said he looked liked he could be a superstar with his marking ability. Just got to work on his kicking.

Freak by name, Freak by observation.

Your credibility just went down big time.

This is a growing team. They're meant to be Hawthorn right now?

Time for a reality check.

And while we're at it, is that Big Col you've got as your avatar?

Start throwing stones where they're deserved rather than at our youngsters.

It was just the other day 'Freak' was criticising Col.

:lol:

Never a more honest word spoken....

Col was terrible today!! Valenti and Morton were awesome compared to him!! Col's decisions were pathetic and his disposal was horrible!

there is a reason that valenti wasnt named in the best.

i'm just a few steps ahead of you guys. i have also said on numerous occassions that jones' kicking is [email protected] get shot down, yet you guys are so surprised when he turns it over by foot.

not to mention me wanting to keep wheatley on the list when half the people on this site wanted him delisted.

petterd is our best youngster coming through and by a fair margin. unlike most of our youngsters he doesnt have a coronary every time he gets the ball

Not to mention your endless crusades against Miller, and the pathetic way in which you attacked him at every opportunity last year.

Get over yourself, everyone else has.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
