  1. Right in front of the ump clotheslined. Without the ball play on
  2. Deserve to be behind. Back to playing slow boring "safe" footy
  3. Any chance b.Brown or weid can take an overhead mark
  4. Yeah Tomlinson provided Ruck support in his last year at GWS, even took some centre square bounces in the GF against Richmond with limited success. Definately not as competent as Weid and Weid is just competent.
  5. Good management then. Good management would also encourage him to sign to a minimum 2 but 3 year deal is ideal to stop more speculation in 12 months time . He will still be able to get a Godfather offer after that.
  6. I was born in 78 so these really bring back memories, used to love them as a kid
  7. Great news. Will finish as the greatest ever demon imho if he stays at this level for 5 of those years.
  8. May out last time, and Melksham played it's all so clear why we lost now. Melk , Smith out. May t Mac in and that's our premiership team
  9. That tackle is up in the Neitz on mcabe tier, right next to the one when he pinned that st Kilda bloke at Docklands

    Langdon has had two down weeks in a row (better last night) missed a couple games. I don't think he is in. Fritsch not in. Wouldn't have b.smith in
  11. Most fun I've had at a game since early last year. The way we played from the 2nd quarter on. The second QTR the crowd in the members side where I was sitting really got into it. made heaps of noise as we where relentlessly tackling ,smothering harassing the opposition and they couldn't get out out of our forward half. So glad I decided to go I forgot what adrenaline you can get watching your team go about it the right way live.
  12. I thought the same, serviceable and played a role. Happy with that
  13. Best pressure we have bought all year. Lions are buckling under it. Lets keep it going
  14. Hope so, we have given up too many out the back goals the last few weeks and Hibberd and the defence will need to be better set up to ensure we don't give up too many this way as Cameron is way quicker then anyone in our defence
  15. Not sure who the matchup is either. Hunt would have been a decent match up. We saw what he did to Joel Smith last year but don't mind that much up. He is to quick for Hibberd, to good in the air for bowey . Guess that leaves Salem or Brayshaw but they will just drag either to the square and take away our best half back distributers.

    Hate that club
  17. In his new statement he apologises then goes on to let everyone know he has been diagnosed with ADHD as if that's a reason why he acts like a DH

    All these night games are good for TV exposure but personally i don't enjoy attending them, mainly due to the late finishes/getting home afterwards and no good to take my kids all under 12. Oh also the flashing lights and booming noise after each goal is horrible when your sitting in the stands
  19. I'm not going to get too political on this forum but you'd hardly say the loose spending and debt levels he left indicate he would be a good fit for the running of any business let alone the AFL.
  20. He looks panicked with ball in hand this year
  21. Why the secrecy it's a muscle injury

    Judging from the telecast last night id say there where more Essendon fans there or at best 50/50. Saints fans don't turn up . Was Spuds game, team are in the eight and played under a roof against a big Victorian club there would have been expected to beat.

    So North effectively get a home game every week. That's totally a great idea. Imagine when the tide turns and they become a decent side utterly rediculous
  24. Out: Gawn, Turner,M.brown In : Weid,May,Rivers.
  25. Summed it up perfectly. I caught her interview with Kate Rothey on the radio before QB game. She tried to trip her up with " tough" questions on the leaked texts and May incident. Kate swatted her questions away like flies. It was embarrassing for Caro
