  1. Why kick it when you can handball badly to a teammate under pressure
  2. Female umpire been good decent bounces too
  3. Time for another feature of our 2017 season points points points
  4. We are horrible headless chook of a footy team at the moment
  5. Miss this bugg and be gone forever
  6. Bugg off unforgivable selfish figjam play
  7. Standby for a qtr of 60 metre bombs into contested forward line
  8. Lot of talk about Tyson and Macca being dumb. 3/4 of our players are not smart players they crack in but not smart
  9. Are they using a Holden barina or XE falcon this year, beep beep?
  10. he is clean , good skills, quick and great mark for his size. He can definitely develop into that dangerous forward with good defensive pressure type player we have been trying to develop with AVB, ANB , brayshaw and others who are not suited to that forward role.
  11. who is on the MRP ? I'm convinced they have it against us!! and that "name" players are a protected species.
  12. I would call it a forearm with low impact. Cotchin deadset punched a guy in the face and was let off , we are due for some MRP love
  13. out: Kent, Wagner In Melksham, Kennedy. Bugg lucky but at least he got himself into scoring positions. Kennedy deserves a go after consistent VFL form and has shown he can apply good tackling pressure unlike kent. Melksham for Wagner , can play same role down back but can also have runs in midfield or forward
  14. big yes from me, big strong unit who uses the ball well. has good leadership qualities and most importantly a football brain. our three talls the maccas and frost all have at times horrible disposal and lack footy smarts.
  15. How can you have mixed feelings after that 22 man 4 quarter effort . Some people will never be happy
  16. RIP . I remember he tipped us in the 88 GF . He would do anything for a laugh
  17. Hogan was OK and gets a pass given the circumstances. But too many times he called for a teammate to kick long towards him while goal and he did not lead up. or forward set up is dysfunctional and entries even worse how many times do we get a mark/kick 80 meters out and player with ball hesitates allowing even more opposition players to flood back, then we bomb it in or kick sideways/backwards and end up turning it over . I get that most of the time the hesitation comes from no standout option but long kick to 1 vs 2 is better to what ends up being 1 v 4. Our forwards need to lead and learn what blocking is all about.
  18. 100% love Jetta but went up when he should of stayed down cost us at least 3-4 goal s
  19. Had $50 on both North and Eagles Happy times paid 20-1
  20. Me too nervous about this one. Hawthorn at the G are in my opinion a much tougher proposition than Freo and we know how that ended. They look good on paper and have a good team in paper with enough talent to click at anytime. Will be happy with a win of any kind
  21. I was high fiving strangers in the stands.it was the best day out at the footy I've had in over 10 years
  22. To Have a debate you need 2 opposing views with reasonable arguments to try and persuade neutrals to your points of view. There is currently no debate even St Kilda die hards could not argue that Mcartin was the right choice over Petracca so debate over!
