How much time do you give someone who has shown nothing? He isn’t a natural footballer and unfortunately will never be. And that is because he didn’t have that junior development. Clutching at straws with this bloke, time to move on

We could throw Preuss in as the steak knives. The two dumbest players on our list

Joel Smith has zero football smarts. Will be delisted at year end. Better off playing Brown.

Yes that’s exactly what I thought when I watched it again Wise. Llyoyd throwing girly haymakers whilst retreating at a thousand miles an hour. He was always one to belt blokes when they weren’t expecting it too.

No need to be sorry, I didn’t take it that way! Good thing about forums is that we can voice different opinions and discuss.

Well it is looking like I may have been wrong Engorged....but I will reserve the final judgement until we have played some half decent teams. Plus we have been rotating players, when the original comment from Goodwin was that we would not.

Just make a statement at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, Dees.

Yeah no worries Mitty, we’ll trade one of them for Zach Merrett. [censored]

Earlier today Crows were $2.85 on Sportsbet. Gawn in doubt revealed later and now Crows $3.10!, What just happened here???

True. Maybe our picks just don’t develop because of the rotten culture they are put in?

Classic Melbourne Steve. It’s called counting your chickens.......get on the Crows, dead set certainty

Yes, absolute certainties Adelaide. Should get some good odds too

Mate, we won’t kick 5 goals in the next 3 weeks

Bloody disgraceful half of football. Overpaid self important pretenders. Pack up and [censored] off and let us lead a normal life.

No need to chat in 21 days mate.......4 day break between last game and geez we are going really well aren’t we. Cue in the rack boys, cue in the rack!

Absolute brainless garbage. Playing Hollywood football and getting a lesson. Pretty much had it with the [censored] useless club

Hmmmm.....starting to look like the same old same olds again!!!

Well, AF, Sue and Engorged Onion, we will agree to disagree, and revisit again in 21 days

I don’t think so Sue. He, and Goody, have both said they will not be resting players through this block of games, because they are of the belief that it works in the EPL and other similar leagues. As I said, fraught with danger as they are totally different sports with different demands on the body. We will see in 21 days I suppose

Putting aside the tactical arguments as raised above, the premise that you can draw a conclusion that just because Burgess has experience in soccer physical performance management can relate to AFL, is fundamentally flawed. Soccer is mostly a non-contact sport, and the grounds are a lot smaller. I would defy anyone to argue that soccer is as physically demanding as AFL. I think the idea of not managing players through this next 3 weeks is fraught with danger

And to think there were posters this week saying we should get rid of Jack Viney. Clueless, absolutely clueless

Yep. And so is Joel Selwood and look how he has turned out. Difference is that Selwood has had quality players around him all his career

And what exactly is his position? All very well to say he is a flanker adding a third option to two key forwards, however we do not have two key forwards! One can’t run out of sight on a dark night, and the other would rather be somewhere else. So the coaching group have no choice but to utilise his talents wherever they can, as a key forward focal point. Unfortunately for Bayley that is the position he is in at the moment. Not his fault because he does not have the physical attributes. But please enlighten me what you would do otherwise.

Easy answer, just do the rest of the draw with 16 teams, leaving Brisbane and Gold Coast out. Let them take it up with their Govt

Wasn’t McKenna tested earlier last week and it came up negative, then retested Friday and positive Saturday? If that’s the case and Essendon players are being tested Tuesday how can they possibly play on the weekend??
