Yes he was a kooky beatnik who would greet his mate with “ like hi Dobie”.

I will put you all out of your misery, the G stood for Walter.

Incorrect try again.

Incorrect try again.

Tracc is either scared to death to take a set shot for goal or dumb. His mark 40 out straight in front, then pass to left footed Tyson on the left boundary was stupidity at its best. Tyson is also a worse shot than him. What was he thinking or wasn’t he?

He paid over the shoulder for their 40 th free for the game. Disgusting umpiring just disgusting.

No he didn’t. Which game were you watching? He was terrible.

So disappointed to have to agree with you, but he was just terrible today. Has completely lost all ability.

Well the Coach played a bloke who didn’t get one possession in the Prelim and guess what, he only managed one today. Worst part is he is the Captain. We can say goodbye to Garlett, Bugg, Smith, McKenna, Pedo, Filipovic and King. Vince has retired and I hate to say it, as I thought he could be anything, but Hunt must be on really shaky ground. He was terrible. We need to bring quite a few new players to improve our list.

Campbell Brown ex Hawk just said and repeated that umpires doing a great job.

Our Captain has done nothing again. He could fix that by telling the umpire the free kick stats.

I’ve shown you he has kicked 60 more goals in the same games as Kennedy and you dismiss it as just a stat. Then you say stats could show Watts was decent. Unbelievable.

People need to quote posters correctly. I said he COULD become our Kennedy not that he is.

Josh Kennedy 90 goals in his first 5 years in the AFL in 67 games. Jesse averaged 50% more disposals in those games as well. I think you are the one that needs to feel really embarrassed. Also I was rubbishing the get rid of Hogan thread. I never said he would have made a difference yesterday, so don't change the meaning of my post. I said he could be our Josh Kennedy and people want to get rid of him. He is on better track than Josh was at the same stage.

Why are we talking about May, he is apparently off to the Pies.

He wouldn't have been the difference clearly, but he played better yesterday than our 2 key forwards and for that matter our 2 key backs and he wasn't even on the ground.

Don't think our FD share your hope. See what he does today.

Because you posted this " Who was the guy who started this thread?" I did. I answered by quoting a line from the Dobie Gillis show, used by his friend Maynard G. Krebbs, whenever he was called by anyone. Just to educate you further, you can win a prize if you guess without looking it up, what the G in his name stood for.

Disagree. Only line breaker with pace on the list. We need more pace not less.

And finally people catch up with me. Now regarding Casey in the GF, we are f....d.

If you look at older players, a lot of them go into a self preservation mode. Lewis IMO is in that mode. He looks around when he is under the ball and his disposal can be poor at times, as we saw yesterday.This is most likely because he is aware of the oncoming contact. I am not saying he is scared, but rather that he is not now the fearless footballer that he was a few years ago. Clarko let him go for a reason. Yes he can play, but clearly not as well consistently, as he once could. He is also doing undisciplined acts, which have cost us, which he probably wouldn't have done as much under Clarko. There is a useby date for every sportsman. We need to work out with Lewis if it is now, or at the end of next season.

No, they will trade Darcy and get May. No one would give them 2 first rounders for Moore.

Welcome aboard my train that has been running for a couple of years now.

If you need proof we were mentally shot yesterday, here are 2 examples to illustrate it. Petracca marks 40 out straight in front and passes to left footed Tyson, a worse shot for goal than him, on the left flank. ANB running straight into goal from 35 out, passes to Weid in pocket with 2 Eagles on him. There were many more because we were belted mentally and played accordingly.

I hope not. The only real pace we have.
