exactly. and add to that we simply p00p our pants when close to goal whether it be taking a mark, connecting a standard handball or having a shot. we simply make it harder than it should be like we are handling kryptonite.

both injury prone and now both out for the rest of the year at their clubs,

not so sure. against carlton he had quite a few balls to his advantage and could not take one of them.

Demons are the number one team in the AFL for stuffing up gimme goals. We just panic within 25 metres of goal at either end. And we get no better at it. Not just when Gus runs in with a non shot from 30 metres, the amount of time we found a free player for a clear shot on goal and fumbled. It keeps happening every week. Middle of thd ground and we can be the harlrm globe trotters. Get within goal and we poop ourselves. Its sooo psychological because we have the ability.

I thought that had merit. ridiculous he wasn't being played. he'd be just what we need for a couple of years. Gibbs would be the best kick in our side, so throw him on a wing for a Craig Bradley role. he might last a few years.

after watching our tall backs last few years, he has them convered in every department. very quick, very good one on one, good reader of the play and organises the defence. Hope to see May, Lever, Hibberd and Frost in for the rest of the year and see how that develops.

plenty. Heath Shaw, Phil Matera, Michael Voss to name a few.

interesting. can you paste the article please ?

Would like to see frost on Cameron and bury him in a few tackles.

was amazed at that. how the umpire didn't play a 50m against Hunt who might as well be bear hugging him to stop him retrieving the ball is beyond me.

good summary. not sure about this years crop from Casey reports but his hit rate his high. people forget how ordinary our list was.

not quite 'surefire' I would suggest. they are 10 more losses away from a complete rebuild again. not a lot of talent coming through.

and a massive home ground umpiring advantage.

here here. he deserves absolute royal treatment.

absolute rubbish. Our backline instantly improved when he came back in. he is very good at impacting a game. go back and look at the hawks final last year. His first 2 years were invaluable to us as a team. he accelerated Olivers transition from an inside clearance player to a 30 possession star every week. He helped gel a backline that was average at best when he came in. and hes still the best kick in our backline. 2 years ago he was instrumental in helping us break those woeful hoodoos against the saints, north etc. no-one was standing up and he made a difference. He was without doubt a bit tick in our recruitment to help us get to finals. He was the cool head under pressure in close games. tell me else was going to help us break through those barriers ?

agreed. JKH gone, Omac depth can play in twos as back up. Garlett im 50/50 atm. last night he was good, then poor at the contest, good at the contest, good again then p1ssweak in the last quarter. see how his year pans out as we don't have too many forward pockets on the list at present.

if you look at it clinically, JKH had a real shocker tonight. I;'ve though he could play a bit but his efforts, his skills, lack of reading of the play were all terrible. falling to ground against Jenkins deep in defence cost us a goal no-one would cough up. I knew that would hurt us badly. He's had too many chances.

utterly ridiculous post. goes harder than most on our list and also knows when to not be a 'moth to the flame' something we still haven't worked out as a group yet. does not shirk the contest.

We Have Petty, Frost, Omac, Tmac as talls on a certain wet day. Would be madness to play Preuss.

great news on KK who seemed to be permanently on the long term injury list. I want to see what he can produce with some continuity. although prior to injury he didn't look that fit.

agreed its slow, but think you might find May the quickest. I think we have to develop a quick backman soon but Hibberd, May, Frost aren't slow. We just need that clever kicking line breaker like Houli, Saad to get us out of trouble sometimes.

Yes he showed last year his elite qualities are intercept marking and reading of the play, but not great one on one. That’s why May in theory is a great pick up if we can get it to all come together.

cant take a break at the Dees. and coming off a very productive game too.

actually they were the Steven Bradbury. We smashed them all night and couldn't convert. if they won it was becuase we couldn't put them away. almost a miracle if they won that. We tripped over then got up for one last go to win.

So. Us the game in the end and you choose to bag him. Laughable.
