Well that was out of the blue... is Green in for the long haul or in current care taker mode.

This group of port players are final checkers....the type of footy they play doesn't stand up.

Best of luck to him. Wont get the opportunity he deserves at our club without an injury. He'll get a regular gig wherever he ends up.

Good effort in a terrible condition down there. What is a worry is their goals were from really bad mistakes in front of goal, from poor decisions and skill execution. But game one under pressure so I'll take it. With so few games its so important to win he early ones.

The type of big body mid we need.

Better, Does anyone else find the cameramen skills far poorer that the normal AFL games, its like they send the trainees to these games.

that's poor.

Not sure, maybe she asked to go?

how that not in the back on miffen

Daisy got her first win... but with a young side they'll have trouble running out games against the more established clubs. but a win is a win for her.

Hotmail! Once upon a time I had the hotmail address of [email protected]. then forgot the password sometime over the decades.

I agree, as much as people disliked Eddie, I bet he would have sat the hospital every day if Buckley was in the ICU and at his home with the family thereafter from a footy injury. She should be constantly talking to the players and find out what is happening in the club, not relying purely on what's being reported up. She doesn't need to act on everything, just know what going on.

His challenge is attracting players to our club that fit within our salary cap. The majority recently have been depth players bought in as security. Whereas talent is really coming from he draft. He can only get those that out of contract or want to move. The Houston news, shows they are active in targeting players during the year to keep improving the main list, i.e. the 23 we put on the park each week. Any real we haven't been that active in since putting the team together up to 2021. With the move towards Houston ew can see they need more players to refresh our list to challenge again.

Its in Ballarat, could be the difference, plus 3 late changes for the Giants..

True but you're referencing a different stat. It was contested marks, it could be explained by the fact he runs har to space and therefore not in a contested position when receiving kicks. An interesting stat is the number of marks he takes per game as a compassion.

Looking back, not a brilliant draft overall. As for the other comments, he was better last night in the game. 1 terrible turnover but he composure seemed better than in previous games. If you in and out of the team its harder to really settle mentally as when you play you also thinking if you screw up your out the next week. That pressure often results in actions and decisions that is not how a player would normally play. When you have certainty in your place, you see players develop a lot faster has they'll take risks and put the team before themselves. He should have more regular game time post Kings' birthday to develop at the top level.

Who cares... But an interesting stat from during the week after last weekend. He's got the second highest number of games without a single contested mark. Matt Rowel has the record but had his first last week. As a footy player I find that amazing, but show his role in the team of being basically an outside receiver. Hopefully Bont wins this year, but he will win at least 1 as he does what the umpires notice.

Whats with us and lighting interrupted games... we must be top of that ladder

Lots of guys are highly rated... on the outside, It just seems he hasn't been able fill the role Yze was doing. But we need some new ideas and blood, time to replace the other assistants as they have been with us a long time?

Both the first 2 picks will be long term players for us, if we keep up our development of them. Kynan just looks small, but he'll be a heart and soul player with his determination, the sort of player every coach needs 1 of. As for the trades, but miss than hit at this stage, Grea series.

Nah, use it to watch other sports over the summer.

got a feeling he's not alone

wow, still no score by the swans...

All I want is to hold a tackle, a single tackle, they are like every other teams are just walking through us... if we can hold a single tackle we'll stop their runs. High pressure start and some of our players haven't adjusted to the speed.

Hopefully he'll be clear the GC that he going to us and they don't try to bid on him...
