Go the Biff

Agreed. Our bogey side and we gave them a five goal start and a beating. In previous years that would have got ugly

Lever would have made little difference today. The weight of I50's would have smashed any defence. Our mids and half forwards got slaughtered and too often the Pies went forward under little or no pressure

That's the website hosting the league ladders & scoring for the VFL & many local footy leagues. 1 = best on. 6 = 6th best. Means nothing from a club or B&F perspective. Stupid way of doing it but no-one cares enough to jack up about it

Of course. More goals = more ads

I can understand how you remain unimpressed. Most of us I suspect view Smith in terms of what he could be rather than what he currently is. Even the avid Casey watchers who would know his capabilities.. He's a young player with 3 games under his belt. At 22 he still has tons of time to deliver on his potential. If he gets first crack at replacing Lever, it might just be the making of him

Same - now most of my forward line are Demons

How does The Wiz make this list ?

Can they sign for more than one year ?

Bugger. Can understand Humphries going so she can stay in Tassie. Disappointed to lose Jazzy Griersen though. Good runner who can kick the footy well

2 games for MFC. A 79 point loss followed by a 148 point loss. If he doesn't have the worst % in club history I'm not sure I wanna know who does Frosty has been missed in the lists above

Hadn't thought quite that far back but now that you mention it.................

Well, you got what you asked for. The team has responded to your call. Should have posted it after the Geelong game.

Agreed. They know they're a snowball's chance in hell of getting a PP and have tried to spin it so they look somehow noble. I enjoy seeing Carlton struggle. Long may it continue. It's interesting to look at who they've jettisoned that are currently playing decent footy at other clubs. Kennedy, Gibbs, Waite, EddieBetts, Tuohy, Gowers, Robinson, Jacobs, Holman and others were let go Henderson & Grigg currently injured but are auto 22 selections for their current clubs and even though he's at Casey, Jeffy would be a walk up start at the Blues They can blame "draconian draft penalties" and "compromised drafts" all they like. To lose the talent above shows they've mismanaged themselves into their current malaise

Many, many years ago I met Mark in a pub. Nice bloke and an absolutely massive, massive unit. I'm 6'2" and I felt like I only came up to his chest. Was like having a beer with a tree

Established clubs treated poorly here AFLW Draft Order Mel, Rocky etc worth only a 4th round compensation pick Cats get priority picks because their poaching wasn't as effective as Norths'. I was gonna say you couldn't make this shite up but someone obviously has

Wouldn't think he'd cop either. You can jump as high as you like providing you make legal contact. As you say, got him in the chest, no free paid & Thomas (to his credit) bounced straight up A hit like that is a thing of great beauty

Front runner my arse. Do you even watch footy or does your quest to expose northern stand conspiracy theories chew up all your time Here's me disagreeing with Hemingway who put forth the view that Garlett was inconsistent (don't know how to quote from another thread) Garlett has been in the game for 10 years and over that period has been one of the most consistent small forwards around. Including his time at Carlton. His 2014 was a complete bomb but I was informed by someone at the the Blues that this was mainly due to off-field family issues. Then Malthouse had his fire sale. No doubt his form was off for 2 weeks. Perhaps form, desire, our crap forward setup & entries - who knows. Conditions perhaps ? When he was young I recall him being good in the wet (I always feared him when we played Carlton) but recently he's been the worst wet tracker since Let's Elope I hope he finds touch real quick. With the forward line we could have, I would love to see Charlie and Jeffy creating havoc amongst it Lies, damned lies & statistics. Nonetheless, here are some Garlett stats. Make of 'em what you will Year Games Goals Avge Gls Tackles Avge Tackles 2009 10 12 1.2 23 2.3 2010 20 39 2.0 73 3.7 2011 24 48 2.0 96 4.0 2012 22 29 1.3 72 3.3 2013 22 43 2.0 76 3.5 2014 9 12 1.3 23 2.6 2015 22 40 1.8 90 4.1 2016 17 29 1.7 54 3.2 2017 21 42 2.0 74 3.5 2018 5 9 1.8 15 3.0 172 303 1.8 596 3.5 That is not the career of a front runner. We were lucky to get him for minimum chips and has been one of the best value investments we've made. And now that he's out of form you apply Revisionism 101 and declare him a front runner. FMD, You type some absolute shite mate and this is just the thin edge of the wedge. I've never used the ignore function but you've got me considering it

Yep, that was made pretty clear. Reckon we're better when he's in so hopefully he'll soon tick whatever boxes the FD have for him

Hawthorn block & impede in marking contests as much, if not more than anyone. Stratton is a master at it. Not sure what they are hoping to gain from this

They were both on the Inside Melbourne podcast on the club website this week. It was a good listen

Yeah it was Hunt to Spargo who goaled. But I think the point being made is valid. Minutes earlier Hunt had hit up Hogan on the wing when clearing the ball from defense. Yes, he does bomb it but I think the signs were there that he's looking to be more effective in his ball use, as he was in the back half of last season. I thought he was fine defensively - none of the Saints mid sized forwards really a lot of influence. And in the last quarter Hunt was still making repeat tackling efforts. Plenty have said he had a shite game. I thought, for a player trying to recapture his best form, it was an encouraging game. For that reason and the fact that I thing he's important to us, I'd have left him in the side to build further on last week's game

Last seen busily banning people from his Facebook group

Soft ? Carlisle is a [censored] big unit. Pretty sure a whack to the throat from him would put most on their arse

Bollocks. He is out of contract, not a free agent. Port would demand the world for him.
