  1. While i think we do need an outside player, i'd still question our key defenders. Oscar is still developing and Frost has proven handy, but both got dismantled with ease the other day. While you can say our midfield got smashed a lot of one on ones weren't close.
  2. GWS ain't gonna trade Kelly this season. They're doing everything possible right now to free up cap space to try and keep him at the club. I still think we are the top of the list right now. North are paying everybody a million backs and will surely be out of space by next season. We know via PJ that we have room for a big player if he wanted to come, the problem is our position in the draft. When Kelly becomes available next season does everyone think a first rounder and future first rounder will be enough? i think the deal will be a lot more complex.
  3. I don't know about anyone else but i find that i get less angry or biased when sitting next to someone that i can talk to about the game. I was at my brothers house (He's an eagle supporter) watching the game and while everything was unfolding he could see the things that i was saying. If i was alone without anyone to share my thoughts with i'd probably be fuming and as angry as anyone that we played in a way that was reminiscent of the times we thought gone. Yet i can sit here now and say i've not lost faith in anyone and i'm sure all the guys will learn from this experience and while we might not win it next year either, i'm sure we will compete.
  4. He is out of contract at end of next season and he wanted to leave last time his contract was up. If he wants to stay now then so be it but if he still wants out we should be making moves.
  5. Not even angry because i was proud to be in a prelim. Let's learn from it and push forwards.
  6. Giants are only going to accept a decent offer. They made him open to offers, so bascially whoever is the most desperate (Freo, GCS, Carlton) can offer early 2nd round picks and get him if GWS can't offload 2 of Scully, Lobbe or Shiel. As a player i don't know much about. I saw a GWS fan saying he needs to put on some muscle if he wants to be a proper one on one defender. Sounds a bit like Oscar with the bonus of pace like Frost.
  7. Kelly was pushing for an exit and only signed a bumper deal instead of the proposed long term deal. He wants to come home to Melbourne, Scully on the other hand is more being pushed out so GWS can keep their other stars just like Shiel was.
  8. Tyson isn't as bad as people make it seem. Like i said Fritsch was guilty of blazing away and not picking out a target.
  9. Big news. If Shiels stays Kelly or Scully needs to leave to fix cap issues. Kelly dream alive boys.
  10. Nothing major is really lost. Fritsch hasn't exactly been amazing and probably quilty of blazing away last two games. If this allows Hibbo to be the intercept mark then that's okay.
  11. I'm just saying if i was an ump and the crowd kept booing me it wouldn't make me favour them. Maybe that's the kind of person i am.
  12. The logic is based on performance. I think we played better 4qtrs vs the cats and i think Hawks played better against the tigers than what we both dished up on Friday. Again King isn't saying we are trash or didn't deserve to win. He makes note of the first half, not the second. Coming off the ground Lewis said we played [censored] at half time. Full time PJ himself said we didn't play great. Let's just be happy we beat a team that belted us by 60 this year and has beaten us 15 of the last 16 times by 33 points in a big final while not at our best.
  13. Viney - tom mitchell who Jones - the quiet achiever T.McDonald - hero we needed Melksham - a clutch player Brayshaw - quiet but good Spargo - same as above Weideman - more to come (Same as last week) Petracca - couldn't be stopped Neal-Bullen - very quiet game Gawn - game of moments Hannan - competed for everything vandenBerg - kicking was poor Harmes - great three quarters Salem - best kick alive Fritsch - brave and ambitious Frost - won his battle Hibberd - quick and clean Jetta - never gets beaten Lewis - safe and tough (he learned what free kick hawthorn is) O.McDonald - Tough and composed Oliver - proper [censored] head Tyson - looked very sore (big last qtr but) Just wanted to say i think everybody competed tonight. It's all that you can ask for really. Hannan had 6 touches but i think he flew for 5 or 6 marks and created a contest every time. Same as Tyson, he may not be quick or as clean as our other mids but he chased everything and did what he could.
  14. Hogan and Lever both in the coaches box and both made an appearance on roaming BT don't worry. You don't really get great interviews by suprising players who are dead sore and want to relax. I think the classic desk in the rooms and have 2-3 players and maybe a special coach or CEO come on for an interview is better. Maybe have a 2min segment where BT goes and finds something interesting (like the rub down table as he calls it) and let him do it. Running through the rooms with a camera and cords and approaching people in the way he does leads to some cringy moments. BT asked the lady who weighs everyone if she is the Rub down girl (great moment tbh), went into ice bath areas to interview a half naked hibbo and a kid (that sounded worse than it was) and had the very excited McDonald parents try and embarrass their kids on live TV.
  15. Been up for 24 hrs my head is pounding, energy nothing left, gnight up the [censored] dees
  16. All i know is we could win every flag for the next 7 years and we'd still wonder if Goodwin is the right man. Also who is really going to be discussing if we are better than the tigers and dogs if we win. To busy out on the [censored] mate screaming "Nev Jetta for PM"
  17. Port will listen to offers for Wingard becuase they believe he will leave as free agent in search of a new challenge. Ring em up and remind them we gave em Toumpas, Watts and Trengove so it's only fair we get Wingard in return. [censored] it throw in a second rounder that they can use on finding some more top talent from other clubs.
  18. The general goes again, what a time to be alive.
  19. I'm suprised at the fitness work comment. I would've figured they worked them hard on the bye week. Recovery and Match drills are crucial right now. Good to see the goal kicking. I'm starting to think Trac has a touch of nervs about him. Good kick at training but in a game your nervous when he is lining up and maybe he is too.
  20. It's not helping anyone. It's just used as an excuse for when we lose. Everytime we lost a game this season Bathwater became the word of the day.
  21. Who knows really. I've heard rumours about Tyson, Weid, Bugg and Kent all potentially looking at other options. For me i'd look at trying our best to get 2nd and 3rd rounders for Garlett, Kent and Tyson if they want to go and trade the picks up. If the Weid rumours are true then that's your first round pick right there. Agan i think it would be tough cap space wise because he is already on 800k and every victorian club will be in for him
  22. This bath water term needs to die. No one at the club has thought of themselves as better than they're all year. Infact our coach has been finding new words to use every week to say that the boys are focused on the task.
  23. I think we live in a world were both in same squad is possible. Two first rounders is needed to get him and the only way we get two first rounders this season is if we trade Hogan. However he is out of contract after next season and i think we can find a way to trade ourselves up to two first rounders (without trading Hogan) and go get him. Cap space would be the issue for us really. he's on 800k at GWS and if he continues performing well he'll get offers well over a million. So we would need to find enough cap space to fit in at a minimum someone on a million a year.
  24. I'm the youngest of 3. I get spoilt.
  25. To be fair to Oscar he's asked to do a lot more than Tom was. Tom also got a lot more support when he was a defender. Oscar's best was with Lever supporting him and then he's been back to the old Oscar since, but slightly better.
