    Agree on Garlett, our structure early wasnt working and we ended up bombing to jeffy out numbered quite a bit in early rounds I would like to see him now we are getting better inside 50 entries. Either way happy to leave spargo in as he has done everything right and current forward dynamic is working
  4. I get annoyed at playing teams with extra days break. We play in NT on Sunday, then we play Doggies who will have played on Friday
  5. No way Charlie should go for that.Ed maybe but i think both are ok2
  6. I wonder which of his two desks he wrote his resignation letter on
  7. Harmes has been good but all three you mention don't know there limitations and get caught out every game. Harmes trying to break tackles and getting pinged. Tyson kicking Anb goal kicking
  8. Tyson drops sitter rubbish kick and now they have momentum.this season will come down to percentage and we screw it up
  9. Lewis is showing his Hawthorn class
  10. Commentators said weare leading league in inside 50s mainly due to our rubbish entries. our opposition would have best goal to entry ratio every week I'm over it
  11. Happy to not have Jeffy at this stage. Spargo has shown in one game that he is polar opposite to Jeffy in terms of hardness and willingness to chase/ tackle. Jeffy does it one game then 3 games he goes missing , been an issue his whole career . You know what you will get with Spargo even though he has played 1 game.
  12. 6 players minimum on either side of the line who cant cross that line, sounds like netball rules lets put bibs on them and call it a day
  13. I can live with the sponsors logos on the front , and know why they are there but I hate the massive logos on the back of the hoodies jackets etc , stopping me from making a purchase . Excuse me now, I've got a cloud to yell at
  14. Let's see the draw first
  15. I wouldn't classify stretch a list clogger still very young had a bad year but shown he is capable no chance of going. He is also what we need run and decent skill.the rest i agree with but unfortunatly i think Vince Kent and Wagner will still be there
  16. 100% agree Hunt , Vince, Tyson, Jones, Harmes, T.Mac, Lewis, have generally had a least one awful clanger per game that either costs us scoring a goal or gives the opposition a goal. It's a concern that of all our list there are only 4-5 players I trust with ball in hand. Jetta, Watts, Brayshaw, Salem, Oliver (who only kicks it 2-3 times a game)

    Bumping this thread. Is there any reason why we would not be going hard for Kelly, I think he is as much what we need as lever? If he wants to come home I think we should be throwing an offer to him. He has old school mates in Salem and Hunt at the club, salem in particular is close to him.
  18. yep and it will be their headline news for the next 24 hours and be topic on their talk back , sen commentator says this blah blah blah sell generated news getting worse and worse that station
  19. I too am reluctant to pay top $$ for him. the floating third tall type defenders can be found out really quickly . I don't know enough about lever and don't watch enough adelaide games jut general consensus is he is a future star but Colin Garland was great for 2-3 years playing a similar role
  20. well a long way from a done deal but we would need to give up something to get him. Crows would be after our 1st rounder and a player of starting 22 quality. Is he worth a top 10-20 pick and a player of say an ANB quality (who they might entertain given their lack of midfield depth).
  21. doubt he met with MFC maybe his manager but I thought it was against the rules to meet in season
  22. bit early in the year for all these trade target posts isn't it? It's mot 2013 when that was all we had to look forward to
  23. 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.
  24. 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!
  25. I know he is a Victorian and Demons man but thank god, I have become sick of his whinging everytime someone sticks i mic in front of him Truth is he was not up to test or 1day international level. Other that that 200 against S.Af in which he was dropped 4 times he was very ordinary in all the other tests he played and never looked comfortable at that level. He got enough one day oppurtunites at one day level and failed , one tour of india sticks out in particular could not handle the pressure and failed everytime he batted thanks for all you have done for the vics, but the hard done by tag he carriers with alot of cricket supports in this state is wrong imho
