    There is likely to be trouble at Doggies if they lose tomorrow night to the Saints.

    There is no apostrophe in Brisbane
  14. Earlier this year many mentions occured about how good our midfield were, but it seemed we often lost the clearance. I LOVE seeing Max belt the suitcase out of the ball forward. He is doing it pretty often lately. I love seeing Jake and Big Stevie punching high balls when they cant mark and ANB, Sparrow tapping outside the congestion when possesion equals a ballup. We generally do it to advantage. It seems to me a new tactic.
  15. Windsor reminds me of Andrew Embley

    Im wondering if there will be a fitness test an hour before the game. I think Mad Micky Malthouse hoppo bumpo someone before a final about 30 years ago until he made the late change.
  17. I wouldnt be able to tell the difference between sleeping bags and cotton wool myself.
  18. More like Alan Johnson IMO but I saw much more of Johnno. And he was a warm favourite behind Robbie.
  19. Windsor like Kozzie and Rivers can kick accurately at top speed.

  21. I figured his father was in Mensa but had a lisp

  23. I think every kick forward was a turnover. He realises this and tries to kick sideways or back and sometimes there is no one there. He only kicks long and high to a pack. I think he needs to look for other options. But yes he was ok.
  24. I have 2 comments/questions that are unfortunately a little negative and too wordy. 1) Im very impressed with some Sydney tactics; especially one where rather than take posession of a loose ball at head height in congestion, they tap it on/over towards a player. Our players, ANB in particular, prefers to take posession and attempt to either dispose or more likely accept the tackle and hope for a ball up. At best a stalemate, at worst a holding the ball. With the versatile Tracc and Clarry especially probably in the vacinity, could this be a tactic? 2) Lever cant dispose successfully almost at all, forward of the play when awarded a free or a mark. Most of his possesions are now sent backwards to a spare. Other teams are aware. When he does go forward it very much looks like he doesnt have a player as a target. His kicks are long and invariably high to a pack, if lucky. Most other quality teams are pulling back on this high kick to a pack. Even if he kicked it lower, which was something I understood we were trying to do, it would be better odds. Can anything be done? I like Jake but he is active with his feedback to players with it seems little self examination.
