  1. Disposal by hand 2nd to none. Id like to know if his higher kicking average this year has meant he got tackled more.
  2. Did vanish. Hope he weighs more now! High hopes.
  3. Jye Caldwell?
  4. Elwood. And thats what they say about us! I think all the old victorian inner city teams need to stick together. i hope North bounce back.
  5. Has he had a fitness test? Or did he hop on the other (good) leg to show his knee is ok? As the story went with Kelvin Templeton...
  6. I think he will probably be a bargain wherever he goes. IMO the best out-of-contract player we have. Just isnt working for him at present. At 196cm and 24(?) yrs old, his best is in front of him, but still may be a year off. I expect him to be in the ones at Adelaide and pushing into top 25 if at Pies. He is friends with Darcy Moore already and they may work together well.
  7. Id rather keep Harmes than Melksham. I expect Melk costs more too.
  8. Toby Greene $151

    I really believe he would be a very good fit in our forward line. 27 turning 28 next year, he came from the rookie draft and I would expect he would want <= what we pay TMac, Melksham and Fritsch.
  10. I so want Swans to win while Ling pours [censored] on Papley for mssing goals and goes overboard with love on Gaz and Selwood. Why have Ling commentate this game? Even if he was only 'special Comments" he goes overboard.
  11. As soon as he started talking about the weather again, i switched off. I wonder if other teams actually make their hands sticky and we dont.
  12. All sizzle no sausage. Goes to ground way too easy. Roves to the wrong spots. If he had Spargos smarts he would be a killa dilla.
  13. Max Gawn 3.00 to kick at least one goal. I reckon he will be drifting forward a lot. That miss must have hurt. Combine with Clayton 25+ will pay $6.
  14. I honestly believe the players are being treated softly and given mixed messages. Get the ball inside 35 from goal. It may not be pretty but Take marks that you should. Handball accurately. Kick to the spread position not to a pack. One in, two out in packs. Handball outside the pack. At last training, kick a goal from 35 metres, then go to the rooms. If not go to the back of the line. Once someone has missed 3 in a row, 6AM swim for the whole team. Do it every day till no one misses easy goals. We need Clarkson or my preference, Dean Cox. The man is super intense, you could see it when he played and "rested' on the bench. Always in the game, barking instructions. We need a big change.
  15. the only players i'd list as absolutely keepers would be: may petracca jackson lever gawn oliver langdon rivers Brayshaw I rate almost as highly as Petracca. If it is for J.Cameron Id sell either.
  16. I hope Adelaide win a game as they will for sure ask for an extra pick round one.
  17. Brayshaw - undervalued, wins clinches
  18. OUT: Hannan cannot hit a target. Pickett, runs to wrong spots and cannot keep his feet, just too costly to keep him in.
  19. The dogs have a full list. They still swap players in and out of the side. Goody is very hesitant to make changes because we dont have a long injury list. this shows he thinks our team is finely balanced and a little bit out of luck. And now he has Richo as a yes man. he isnt ready to tough it out without help. Goody is out of his league and push comes to shove too many on this site want him to stay next year.

    How do you know?

    Cant believe this is not resolved for so long. If Smith had been given half the chances Tom Mac has been gifted in the last 2 YEARS he would be a good tall KP player by now or at least moved on! Toms name is just in indelible ink on the white board. For Fcks sake make a change. Try Oscar! couldnt be worse.
  22. Kozzie has has plenty of time and has had a heap of praise. All sizzle no sausage. He just runs to the wrong spots. Its obvious. Spargo gets to the right spot but is a little fumbley at speed. Bedford looked great early in the year why is he not tried? On a windy day with a hard surface, small fwds should be waxing in, getting goals. We lost because we had many players not running hard enough. Wied just wont chase and Melksham will but never catches, reminds me of Frawley. The other obvious reason we wont go far is we cannot hit targets and we seem to praise each other for "nearly' taking marks. There is not enough acid placed on this team when they lose. Only one side suffered from that wind. Wont take long for the coach to blame conditions. It makes me spew up!
  23. Can someone explain why we cant ask the ruckman to punch it in a certain direction, say towards our goals? Preuss does not have Gawn's finesse and to say to the midfielders I am going to swipe it left, right or forwards must give us forewarning even if it does not come off without a hitch. Doggies midfielders will be expecting the ball to land in the circle as a result of a nil-nil ruck contest and a probable scrum.. i know i loved Strawbs and I havent moved on but why not give it a go? serious question.
