we have good depth but still no 'power forward'...

Yes we do, he got a call up this week.....

Idiots had Lake and Enright in there too, another 2 south Australians that have now been edited out of the team.

Truely a terrible piece of journalism....

How does this work when he is a South Australian?

Is this worst piece of journalism ever or am I missing something?

Make it 20 a quarter, 80 a game.

That's plenty, simple really.....

Naitanui only looks good against teams with no ruck stocks. The Russian will show him how it's done on Saturday. Don't let the guy take a running leap at anything and he's useless

I took the boys out for the afternoon for a look - so a big sorry to anybody that had to listen to my grisly two

I thought Watts was good, but not outstanding. Mind you the ground conditions were heavy, having a kick on the ground it was surprising how heavy it was. I'd have him in next week though on that performance, but as a high half forward flank otherwise Glass will have a field day.

What about Coburg though? Mouthing off like superstars in the 3rd quarter. The worst of the Mortons was the worst though, call out Newton for being "soft", then giving away pissweak free kicks and kicking the ball out on the full. There is a reason that West Coast got rid of this bloke, he's an idiot. Number 33 (whoever he was) continually having a crack at Watts was a disgrace too. I would have thought that being down by 50 points at that stage would shut people up. Clearly not.

The best moment of the day was in the 4th quarter. McMahon was about to take a kick-in after a point and there was a delay for some reason. Someone in the crowd right behind piped up, THANKS FOR SCULLY AND TRENGOVE. Priceless, he couldn't do much about it and let out a bit of a smile.

BOG 1st half was Cheney. Didn't have anything to do in the second half because we dominated.

BOG 2nd half was too close to call. We just were too dominant in the midfield.

What doubt? The goal umpire was signalling a goal.

Non-goal of the year goes to Brad Green.

They introduced a system a few years ago of consultation between all umpires involved, not just the goal umpire

Did he clarify whether we asked the AFL mid-week to change the uniform and had our request denied?

Or perhaps why a multimillion dollar national organisation is capable of making such glaring mistakes?

No, I'm still not over it!

No he didn't, but it was a unique set of circumstances because of the pink

Will never happen again

On Triple M, he just admitted that the umpire uniform choice was a mistake but once started couldn't do anything about it

Although a huge stuff-up, it's good to see him on the front foot in the morning admitting a stuff up

Also said that goal umpiring decisions were correct. After discussions with all umpires if there is any doubt the smaller score shall be registered

Badly, badly missed last weekend

In the top ten required players without a shadow of a doubt

No wonder Adelaide wanted him really really bad, they need someone like him

Too bad he's OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about Aker's tackle on Frawley?

If there was ever a holding the ball decision then that was it, holding the ball every day of the year.

Yeah the umpire called good handball!! To be fair he was standing on the wrong side as per bloody usual

Changes are weather dependent.

McKenzie isn't only in our best 22, he's top ten for sure

Round 22 before the finals

I'm 100% positive Ricky wants to go and play on the Gold Coast and be around his faimly.

I am also 100% positive he wants to stay at the Dees with his mates.

He just needs to figure out which one he wants more and I think at the moment he is doing that.

Unfortunately, our best chance of keeping him is if he continues to play here, with his mates and win games.

It doesn't look like he'll get the chance to do that before he has to make up his mind.

The best chance is to make a prelim final and make him really want it next year as well ;-) ;-)

None of the above. Rivers should get the boot. Three others are our core defence for the next 4+ years. They need games and YEARS together. Leave them the bloody hell alone!!!!!!!

It annoys me, trying to take out of the backline to make a forward line. How about waiting a using the players that are injured when they come back?

Yikes!!!

End transmission

Biggest loss by year

07 - 89 points, round 17 v Port Adelaide at AAMI

08 - 116 points, round 19 v Geelong at MCG (olympic opening ceremony night),104 points, round 1 v Hawthorn at MCG, 95pts R2 v Bulldogs at MCG

09 - 66 points, round 11 v Collingwood at MCG (Queens Birthday)

Who would you rather be, us or Hawthorn?

Richmond? Oh my, oh my on their way to an absolute flogging of the highest AFL order

Adelaide? One would think a year too far.

We are in very, very good hands....

I don't know if anybody noticed last night but after the swans - brisbane game Dunstall said it was a good win by the SAINTS!

I couldn't believe it, had to rewind and play over and over again. It was terrible

Hard to vote when we played so poorly but I just want to give props to Bartram who continues a remarkable form turnaround by doing a great job on Brent "whinging [censored]" Harvey.

you are joking?

I have no idea how harvey didn't end up with 40 touches

Bartram's idea of a "tag" is to stand by him at a stoppage run with him for 15m then get puffed and drop off.

Happened about 20 times. I hate harvey with a passion but his gut running is phenomenal

After the 2nd quarter I wasn't concerned with the result and wondered how Bartam was doing and watched non stop the 3rd quarter.

Needs a lesson from Jones from st kilda or Ling

Random thought of the day:

If we win, Western Bulldogs beat St kilda, Carlton beat Collingwood and Brisbane beat Sydney, then we'll still be out of the 8 despite us being 4-2.

And that would be the definition of a log jam!!!

I didn't know he was gay. Well there you go, you learn something new everyday.

He must be gutted because he's not going north, he's an emergency here this weekend

Here's another article from the same press conference, a much better article
