Journalism at its best. Zero accountability. Just always right in retrospect once they know the real truth, they just change their mind.

game on. now Adelaide are saying Lever wanting Melbourne is 'all good and well' but we are negotiating with 10 Victoria clubs. I think they need reminding of the Scott Thompson deal for a late first rounder.

and our opponents will tag him out of the game like the grand final.

if we gave that and pick 10 for Lever we will have rolled over.

please please let him go to Collingwood.

here here. He says he wants to go home. Gold Coast should tell him 'fine, just retire and go home'. If his personal issues are significant then why didn't he move home already ? he can't have his cake and eat it too. champion player, cr#p leader.

if he got it together he could be a very handy defensive forward and occasional burst midfielder. our coaches are good but I thought they could have evolved him into a more rounded player. He just seems all or nothing to me, doesn't do all the team things that you can see in a Brayshaw. Some of those things don't require talent. he also looks the unfittest on our list.

will be a handy addition next year. another midfield rotation and a big bodied midfielder with some Vitamin c in him. glad we kept him.

and lose two years first rounders ? no thanks

and kicking to a contest is a turnover. Thsat means there were over 100 turnoves in the geel v rich game alone.

that is very very interesting. I have used that Port game as an example many times. we absolutely shellacked them first half and should have been 10 goals up. but all the games since then seemed to be like another team out there, we went back into our shell, and by the end looked cooked. I like many just was stunned by those last few games.

he has actually lowered his eyes more since about 6 weeks ago. his problem has been touch and he was fumbly as a virgin on prom night on Saturday.

I think you have missed a huge gap. A decent key back who can dispose of the ball effectively. Its our biggest weakness.

We all know that is grabbing at straws.

best post ive read in a long time. Exactly. we need to ditch this tradition and focus on the fact we should be the hungriest club in the AFL, to lead us to success. I for the life of me don't know why we don't scrap and 'die on the pitch' like some sides do to get a result. We should have been smashing bodies on Saturday but didn't. its lamentable and sickening to accept.

so just go get 2 key forwards and two key backs and an A grade midfielder. not asking much ?

He had a massive pre season and maybe that's holding him in stead. He should not have been able to do that yesterday. He's had surgery twice this year, not to mention the mental side with his dad etc

tomato sauce ?

Except when it functioned last week

Yes but how often do associated injuries occur.

He is a bigger talent than most here give him credit for and would do very well in a team of contested ball winners like ours. We need skilful finishers and he fits the mould, I would pursue him, then develop him further.

if we make finals I would call it a resounding success, we needed leadership, in fact we were begging for it. Don't forget how many games last year where we jus could not stop the onslaught. You may not realise how often he senses the other team getting a run on and starts defending against it. We have had no idea how to do that until this year. In the first 12 games no-one really got hold of us and Lewis was a key difference (Hibberd as well).

yes an interesting decision maybe just for Bugg. If they were consistent Hogan and Lewis were just as irresponsible against Carlton. maybe even Vince a few times.

yep we can only go on what we are seeing and his first year is a massive tick for me. absolute leader out there.
