Bates Mate

I'll still sign up next year , but the extra $$ for Grand Final Guarantee I will not, they fooled me into 3 years of that donation

Definately playing injured. Saw him huddled over wincing on multiple occasions

My pet hate is running past for a handball and not knowing where you are going to kick it, only to rush a kick to the opposition. (Rivers is a serial offender). Followed closely by the hot potato handball to a player flat footed in a worse position (clarry I'm looking at you). Discuss

I like my chances of securing a position in one of the MCC's dining room ballots

Petty , disco out or back to the backline One or more of the Casey forwards who have actually been drafted and played a lot of footy as a forward. Jefferson, Luka, Fullerton , Brown can't be any worse.

We needed fast skillful players

3 years later we are Still working on our method and forward connection. But we now have backs trying to be forwards instead and the same mids that are lacking in kicking skills department. Going well

1 step forward one week after 12 steps back the last week. Net negative

I did I'm ok thanks, back to my natural state of zero expectations. 83k odd there today would have been 65k Collingwood

That's because he was drafted as and played majority of his footy as a forward. Expecting Petty and Turner to produce at AFL level consistently as forwards when they are key backs is dumb. Can't remember any key backs turning themselves into good forwards. Neitz a big exception but he did play all his junior and early AFL career as a forward.Tmac deserves a mention for his one and a half good seasons as a forward.Petty and Turner just don't lead up to the ball or find space it's never going to work execute against depleted Richmond sides apparently

Yep I was at the game and know the period you where taking about. I thought there is the intensity we are capable of and we won alot of contested hard balls and gang tackled during that period. As you say lasted a few minutes

Not really, a flag is a flag I would've taken one in my lifetime 5 years ago. Just a bit bitter that we didn't get to experience it live

Boys mostly try hard but we just don't have the skills or composure to choose the right option let alone execute it

Help if the forwards actually led

Enables ch7 to tick the diversity box

Key and Big forward have always meant the same thing in the 40+ years I've been watching.

Essendon doing a Melbourne. Dominate the game kick many points

Petty is playing because we need a key forward and Goody is stubborn simple as that

Woewoden and thommo very stiff. Laurie for me I just don't get it. Never seen him look like an AFL player but keeps getting the call up. Billings I thought we had seen the last of for a while. Hope I'm wrong but can't see him standing up in front of 80k on the big stage. Howes more mobile than thommo I guess. Not feeling enthused by these changes barring jvr.

Suns robbed , I'd be needing a new tv if that happened to us

I'd choose the pies if I was in his shoes

Fritsch did a great job on him in last year's Kings birthday game. He needs a task to keep his mind in the game been way too in and out of games all year

Why is everyone always so quick to drop thommo , been in our best 5-6 players since coming back. You need selection integrity and Petty should be dropped before him

I haven't been this impressed with the size of a recruit since Craig nettlebeck

I'm lurking and posting in a draft thread. " Hello darkness, my old friend"
