jumbo returns

DD36 and C&B.....chill. You have different opinions, but debate, don't belittle each other.

I reckoned we smashed 'em!! Toyed with them. I don't care about the second half. This is what I think...Roosy said, 'Righto boys, this is ROUND ONE! Hit them hard, hit them early, let's work on our structures and don't forget our discipline and training...let's do some damage!' Half time....'Well done...I'm pleased so many are doing the job for us....We'll move a few of you around...' Stop the hand wringing people. This is the best preseason form we've shown for a very, very, long time.

Oh, and Clint....I think you said the players lacked muscle? I reckon that quite a few are bigger and stronger this year.

Well, yes and no....I still think there's room for Pedo, Kent, Bernie and Howe....anyhoo, I loved the practice match!!! The run and spread in that first half was incredible, (dare I say it? Freo like?) I agree with your summation that not hitting targets interrupts the chain of play - Roos will sort those out via the trade table. Don't forget that for some players, it was their first real hit out. The coaching staff and players experimented and relaxed. i like the look of 2015...

Stef Martin had another good game? Damn.

Nah...Lumumba's was better

Wow, Werridee, you really are scarred!

Vision? Link?

Good luck, MD...congrats to you and your bride. Have a fantastic day!!

If we need a new player from another club to tell our players how to play AFL, we're in deep kaka. Thus far, Toumpas is at the crossroads.

199 games versus like, 12? Strange comparison.

I think his captaincy was awarded to him for his leadership skills, not necessarily his footy prowess. Still a required player imho.

He does run through the middle.....he has great pace and ball carry. Don't be literal...HBF is purely a position that exists on the whiteboard so that Fox Footy can present League Teams.

McKenzie is our Robert Klomp....stopper extraordinaire. Will play a role in 2015 (not for Casey, for all the cheeky wags out there) Grimes will get better too.

Really? Haven't heard that - perhaps there are cracks appearing??

Dunno BD - perhaps it's the lure of a historic flag together. They will win one....eventually.

GWS will only release who they want to release - they f*uckd up with Dom and I'll be eternally grateful. The 'pact' boys aren't going anywhere....Shiel, Treloar, Greene, now Cameron, Bugg, Conilio, Hoskin-Elliott, (sp?)Tomlinson and Treloar.

Not going anywhere....see previous posts on 'pact boys'

Me too - Roos knows what he's got... He's in his second year of decent coaching....let's see what unfolds.

There is no way in the world that, barring injury, Tommy Mac won't play every game.

Luvin' Friday, OD

Also, it's PRACTICE, not PRACTISE. Thanks.

Need this bloke to stay....agree about Chip.

Must stay. Potential to be the best HBF in the AFL. or Potential to be the best HFF in the AFL

The pact b The 'pact' boys starting to come together...
