  1. Here's my Plan..!!! Forget all the Hype, Huggies and High Fives!! Forget the Stats!! Forget Goody and the thousands of coaches and overpaid hangers on. Revert to the Ted Whitten Game Plan...The only plan that has ever worked. Follow Plan A..There is no Plan B Plan A is...... See Ball, Get Ball, Kick Ball!!! Hit 'em Hard and Hit'em often and do it with..... 110% Guts and Determination for 110 minutes!!!
  2. No worries...it was always a "thereabouts comment" but I was always a fan and do remember extensive time in the twos so highpicks playing in the VFL is not necessarily harshand am hoping Langford reaches his full potential..maybe lose a couple of kgs, gain pace muscle tone, and defensive skills..I am sure they look at the draft for potential ... Oliver shot up the ranks in his draft year and was in it almost as an unknown..was chubby to say the least!!
  3. Oliver was about pick 5 and played a year in the VFL
  4. No Way Sparrow ready to breakout...Got dropped for one week last year and killed it for Casey Great kick for goal from 50..Stays playing half forward
  5. Only Until week 4!!!

    Dropped Sparrow for one game last year....It's a good idea to shake them up a bit..

    Re. Forward line Agree. Fritsch is best close to goals. He's a true forward, and has a great balanced mark and recovery for second effort as qell as snaps and set shots. An opportunist.Should not have been sent back as backup defender..Bad decision With physicality of AJ... he should get more opporunities Sparrow should play within striking distance but given freedom to move up the ground...is a good long kick for goal .Played Well JVR disappointing Do like Turner as a lead ..to come back And, other comments. TMac is in our best 22... Can't beat experience and can go forward Howes pretty ordinary defending against leading forward TMac always ahead of him in selection Didn't see the run and carry from Rivers..I reckon with two doing that in tandem Rivers and Windsor, and wingers Lindsay and Langton we would have a good weapon for fast movement into the forward line.. Debutantes all pretty serviceable .. 🤣
  9. Lose ball... can't fine it anywhere!! Loose ball...go get it!!
  10. And for the pedants and grammarians amongst us, after all, we are the club of toffs, add these...hence means from here, and thence means from there. So a triumvirate of words to help you sound really stuck up!!! Whence, Hence and Thence 🤣🤣
  11. Yes, is but not when it is used incorrectly. "whence" means "from where" so "from whence" is a tautology. "From" in that instance was redundant.
  12. Yes Forwards always work better when Melksham is there to run the show. TMac must be played ahead of Howes or Hore Fritsch close to stay in 50 mt arc JVR to CHF Howes No Billings No
  13. Not only that, although he's a good mark.. he always slows down the play after marking, and kicking is not so reliable ..Looks as if theyre wanting to move the ball faster now. Seems 2023 was beginner's luck...a bit flukey and when expectations rose he couldn't produce.
  14. He's too slow...both in running and decision making. Much better half back line with two accurate kicks on the flanks and run and carry from CHB TMac ahead of Petty..is sound.
