Poor auld Gus. Rest up and hopefully we will see you back soon the ups and downs for these young guys... at the end of year 1 Gus was top of the world and Trac was in injury hell and hadn't debuted yet

11K of those were bought by Gill though

nothing to do with luck. they win games as their senior players lead the team and direct the younger guys

Bartel must of thought he is too well liked in footy circles, joining the MRP you would have to think the system is rooted more than the blokes on it

IN, Harmes and ANB OUT, Salem and Weid. prefer to go small that have Weid flapping about in the fwd line. we had zero structure to our forward line aside from hannan presenting

man just watching that footage makes me livid. those north pricks. salems wasnt an elbow, he brushed his face with a forearm, Im surprised it was looked at, let alone a suspension

we lost that one too

I was mainly referring to their 13 scoring shots in the first quarter. mostly gettable shots, they could have easily scored 9 goals and be up by 40 pts plus

I thought so but when a team continually beats you have to start to think that they might be better than us. if they had kicked straight they would have beaten us easily

still in a very bad mood -1 Bugg 4 missed shots could have been the difference -2 Watts EXTEND YOUR ARMS WHEN GOING FOR A MARK FFS! played a soft disinterested game -3 Weiderman Harsh on him but he is too young. we play with 17 when he is on the field. A few times he flew and didnt even touch the ball in flight. hardly brought the ball to ground or provided a target. needs a month at casey

We are playing with 17 when Weid is playing. I know he's young but Christ just get to the contest and get it to ground. That's all we ask.

Agree Jack. Season defining wins can only be identified post season imo as if we lose today last week didn't mean that much we could move into the 8 above the dogs and tigers if we win. North won't be easy, their % is higher than freo and pies so clearly have been playing better than their ladder position will be gutted if we lose though 8 hours to go!!? I know, I'll watch the Adelaide match again!

Where did melksham play? I'm beginning to think he is better suited to the wing or even pushing fwd as he is s good kick for goal and can run. A liability down back

oh right. misunderstood yeah he must be more of a physical type rather than wordy chap

is this thread for real? we are a contender for finals, maybe a 50-50 chance but no we are not a contender for the flag. we couldnt beat the tiges/hawks/freo/cats at home.

it was in the context of player banter and the whole murphy thing. he said he thought the back chat was pointless I'm sure he would be vocal in getting players into position etc

Once the wildcard games are played in China I'm on board

Feel good about this game aside from their tall fwds. If we don't dominate the midfield they will kick long to brown and Waite. Could be troublesome.

coming off an 8 day break (north 7 days) should hopefully have us fresh if we bring the right attitude we should win. Looking though north's team there is not much talent there but they will bring effort and hardness so we must match them from the first bounce. we should win, but Ive said that a lot this season and been disappointed so Im trying to not get too confident Salem, Viney, Pedo, Frost, Trac all coming into good form bodes well

AFL seems desperate to make footy somehow global. international rules, NZ and now this. It's an aussie game, we like it that way. spend money on grass roots footy and supporting the lower leagues not feckin china

what a waste of time the game in China was! whats the point?!?

Jones and Viney will like the sound of that North don't have anyone worth tagging so I guess Bernie can just hunt the ball!

Really?! only 3 weeks away. that would be sweet. (poor speno)

Love Frosty. What a freak. imagine him running at you at full tilt about to tackle you. great to see him have a good run at it

after losing to Hawks, Freo and Tigers at home what gives folks the confidence we will win the next 3? 3 similar teams. I think we have the ability to pull a great performance out of the bag like against adelaide but going off our form this year we will win 1 or maybe 2 of the next 3
