    Actually agree - no one rates -you’ve possibly overstated how good ( bad ) they all were !! Perfect call they were terrible - can’t do the basics like mark. 

    My three word summary 

    Pathetic - Amateur -Sad !

  • Quote

    Fritsch -  our cleanest player

    His game wasn't world beating but he won some huge 1/1s and his skills in and around the contest and at ground level were excellent. 

    Hunt - Handy up forward. 

    Hunt played well up forward, and deserves his spot in the side. Credit where credit is due, he is trying hard to reinvent himself and signs are promising.

    He's playing like a guy who's missed a heap of footy and has also missed the gym. Looked more effective forward than on a wing, and he sure as hell isn't playing down back with his lack of will for the contest.

    Right now I'm thinking the best case scenario is getting some VFL in to him and maybe he has another few cracks at games later in the year, he's not lightening which I said when we got him but I think he has enough pace and skill to be something, but he looks entirely like a player who needs another preseason training at a high level before he'll play well.

    I'm thinking its time we get back to the draft this year and get in some talent. because we are lacking much.

    I really like this three word summary, JB. Thanks. I'd add:

    Backs:

    1. Guard a man

    2. One man up

    Mids:

    1. Run both ways

    2. Kick to us

    Forwards:

    1. Make some space

    2. Mark one, occasionally

    Coaches:

    1. Are you blind?

    2. Earn your pay

    Agree:

    backs one man up just drives me crazy!

    mids run both ways, in particular Jones just awful example as Captain, I’m above chasing!

    forwards make some space, agree 100%, don’t all run to same space!

    coaches: Backline disorganised, would love to hear from someone who attends training, they can’t possibly coach lets all fly together?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
