  1. Good first quarter geez it shows how competitive we can be with a decent midfield. Defence is on top forwards look ok minus Hogan Dawes and Clark and yet we won the quarter despite being molested in the midfield. Sure there are some players today who should never play afl level again but there is something to work with if we can get a decent midfield.

  2. Yet ;) hahaha

    Hahaha I would love us to go after Buddy

    Yeah I know we have tall forwards but with Clark perenially injured Hogan in his first season Dawes injured too and Buddy's ability to play through the midfield I reckon it would not be a bad option. Not to mention new members gate receipts Jersey sales and A BIT OF GOOD HYPE :) Buckley's to nil chance of it happening but it's a sunny sunday and nice to dream

    Pendlebury we have even less chance than Buddy

  3. This news has me buzzing so hopefully something comes from it

    I would love Scott Selwood but cannot see it happening.

    I had a thought today that I wouldn't mind hearing people's opinions on it

    Possible trade with GC Suns Watts/Sylvia for Trent McKenzie ? Beautiful kick of the football from half back which is what we need. Suns have a dearth of talent ripe for the picking and either Watts or Sylvia and package up a draft pick aswell may be enough to get the deal done. Victorian boy too.

    Another one is Luke Shuey another Melbourne boy who we could use in our midfield. Maybe even Andrew Gaff. If Worsfold goes as expected then we could really get into one or two of their ears and especially if we get Roos we may have a chance to snare one or 2 of them

    Just a couple of ideas

  4. Swallow is from WA and if he is going anywhere it would be to North. Unless he wants to go to WCE or Freo. I personally hope we don't trade pick 2 we do need it on a quality mid from the draft who actually has the body ready for AFL. Trades can be from players and late first round/early second round picks.

  5. Look we all know we need quality mids to compliment Toumpas Viney Nathan Jones and the like. There have been a lot of names thrown up but there are only one or two that are top class that we can go for and they are unlikely.

    It's my opinion that we should look to mature age state recruits with decent skills unlike Magner who I rate but just doesn't do enough with the ball.

    I watched the Williamstown V Northern Blues game today and a player that is a solid build and actually used the ball well was Brent Prismall.

    I know he has been delisted but his knee problems seem to be behind him and he actually uses the ball very well.

    Just a suggestion obviously but I would like to know some other decent mature players that anyone can think of (outside the afl) who could come onto our list and help us immediately. Ala Sam Dwyer from Collingwood

  6. Im done that's it turning off the game before I smash my laptop ... I am so sick of watching this [censored] I can't take it anymore this year same mistakes and the umpire makes me want to get on a plane and bash the dog

  7. I have a theory as to why we get smashed at stoppages and clearances ... apart from our mids being nowhere near good enough .. watch most of the stoppages here even in our forward line our players are looking/holding onto their players and running with them instead of being on the move ready to receive the ball .. far too reactive which means that most of the time out backs are to the ball and they have a free run, which would also explain most of the spread directly from stoppages

  8. We just don't work hard enough, is it fitness?

    To some degree could be fitness .. apparently this year is the only pre season we have done which has benefited fitness wise but 90% of it is hunger for the contest .. hunger to improve and hunger to succeed which only about 5 players have at present. Honestly Garland N.Jones Viney Terlich and Frawley out there are the only ones who even look like they want to play for the club.

  9. What's with all the hate on Pederson .. did someone just randomly start hating on him and then everyone jumped on board ??? I'll tell you what he has about 18 mates out there who don't give a rats about this jumper at least he lays tackles .. yeah that one he laid was high but I'd rather that than watching 18 witches hats

  10. Wouldn't help our midfield has stopped running again ... one quarter of running and our players are stuffed look at the spread the crows have .. that comes from them running harder than us ... we play one quarter surprise ourselves by being in front then just stop
