RIP Jim Stynes, he had an impact that went far far beyond football. Very sad day

Unbelievable moment. The League world will be in shock for weeks about this. State or Origin, Australia rep and he gives it up to play for the Gold Coast, a team no one wants to exist or remotely cares about. Incredible coup for the AFL.

Should never have been moved out of the forward line by Daniher.

I too was there and that moment is ethced in my memory as well. I believe he either kicked the goal or it just missed, if I remember it correctly it was at the end to the left of screen when you watch on tv. A couple of weeks later his first touch against the Cats in the Wizard Cup PF was to get a pass 50m out on the flank, step inside Steven King and kick it around the corner for a goal from 45. Just ridiculous. I have only seen bits of Jurrah but everything I've heard about him says no one questions his ability, the issue has always been how he can adjust to what is a massive lifestyle change for any Indigenous kid, but even bigger for one coming from Liam's background. From all reports he's going well at the moment, but I think the club may be reluctant to throw him in at the deep end until very late this season, if at all in 09.

Adam Cooney was the best thing about that show on Thursday night.

Red The white one looks like a Bulldogs jumper. I actually would prefer to see the Red jumper with white shorts instead of blue shorts, which is really similar to the good red jumper we were around 04 05.

Sweet thanks Alpha and Graz.

As much as I prefer the logo you guys have there, it's a massive improvement on last years farce. That said, I think you'll find that is just a training jumper and not the clash jumper - like how years ago we had guys wearing the old jumpers with LG as the sponsor in different fluro colours.

18 goals 17 behinds - count four of those behinds for me - though I still reckon a couple of those weren't touched, haha. Great game by all of our guys and thanks again to Rollo Jack and Pringle for all their work. Looking forward to the next game at the end of the year

Where's my members scarf that was going to be coming back? I'm seeing polos and all that sort of stuff but where's the scarf?

Tyson Stenglein was their tagger, and he did a bloody good job of it. I reckon you only need one tagger in a side and Bartram should be the one for us. The rest of the midfield has to be strong enough and talented enough to win their own ball, but be accountable for their opponents defensively when we don't have it. Dunn has height pace endurance and is good around goals. He can run a big defender up the ground or drag a small defender back to the goalsquare. I agree with Mo, he showed a bit in 06 playing that half forward role, and given the age and inexperience of Watts at this stage, our best setup would be to have Miller deep with Bate and Dunn at half forward, Robertson starting deep near Miller, and the crumbing guys starting up high then getting in.

Too good to be a tagger imo, should be played as a half forward, along side Bate and maybe rotating through a wing occassionally with Morton, Bruce etc who are all that 190ish.

As if a lot of people hadn't bought the number 4 jumper for the great Ben Holland

If we weren't such a horrible side to watch on the field we would be given a better draw. We can't ask for help from the draw until we provide something successful or at the very least entertaining on the field. The two go hand in hand. It'd be nice if that wasn't the case but it is.

I should be right to play this time, again depending on work committments, but i'm 90% in. Looking forward to having a run around
