  1. Tapscott, yes so far. Dunn's one of our softest. He's happy to have a little snap here and there and throw a few jumper punches but he does not have eyes only for the ball. When he played back I lost count of the number of times he failed to put himself in harms way whilst giving the impression he was doing exactly that. Don't be fooled by false bravado.
  2. I said to my friend "I hope that's not the white flag" At that point our 15 minutes on top was over and they were coming hard.
  3. I booed him on the inside when he played for us and I booed him on the outside last night.(All tongue in cheek) God I love the Footy!!
  4. I think Watts can read the play. In fact he reads it so well he knows where to go to avoid being crunched. It needs to change and I really hope it does.
  5. If the FD saw fit to keep him and he's kicked 8 in the last 2 weeks including 5 in reportedly a good game then he deserves a recall. Personally I wouldn't let him at the oranges but we need another big body in the side and he's what we have.
  6. Most important thing for the club to do this year: Sign Tom Scully Most important thing for the club to do next year: Sign Jack Trengove.
  7. We could talk of Jurrah's inability to do much else besides fly for the mark from behind. Not alot of backing back into packs from Liam yesterday.
  8. He'll be aRolls Royce when he shifts to the midfield. What we need is a half back Hodge.
  9. Trengove, Grimes, Scully, Gysberts, Sylvia in 2 years time. You'll be so loved up you'll jump at shadows!!
  10. Out Jones, Garland, Maric In Wonaeamirri(super sub), Gysberts, Newton(try him down back, we've seen enough of Macdonald and Warnock) One question though. Why has Warnock stalled after looking so good a few years back?
  11. We got smashed by one of the flag favourites. Just be happy you don't barrack for North.
  12. We get beaten by the full flood. It doesn't matter at the moment it's about getting games into players. We don't actually need a complete game plan until we're ready to challenge. By the end of next year we'll be able to see what he has in mind.
  13. Actually we put in quite a competitive performance that day.
  14. Love the twighmight game. Get a full sunday with the family then off to the footy with my son, perfect day really.
  15. 2 interchange and 2 subs, no runners allowed
  16. Let's hold judgement until after he picks up Rioli on Sunday!
  17. So you condemn me for making unfounded statements and in response you make unfounded statements. Go Figure. Then at the end of it all you agree with me.... I'm confused
  18. You clearly haven't read my posts since sunday. Far from writing him off I was simply attempting to discuss his possible positive and negative attributes.
  19. Campbell Brown was regularly exposed for pace, height and agility. Jarrod Harbrow is way faster and more agile than Tapscott but not nearly as strong or as good a kick. Leon Davis - Please. Whealn had great pace and agility as well as great strength. Tapscott would do well to watch some classic Whelan footage and remember if you use the body as a battering ram your effectiveness and career will be limited. He has obvious strengths and some weaknesses. Or are you saying he's the complete package and has no weaknesses. Careful now you may have to think.
  20. It was a great game and yes Davey was a big loss. I'm truly itching for Sunday arvo.
  21. Thankyou. Anyway back to Tapscott. he may well become a very handy forward or he may remain in defence. Either way comparing him to Chapman is surely too early, but hey being one to not shy away from making calls go right ahead. If Sylvia and Petterd remain as semi permanent forwards and we have Watts, Jurrah, Wonaeamirri and Bennell then maybe he's more likely to find a home down back. In saying that it seems unlikely that he wouldn't, from time to time, get exposed for height and agility down back. Again time will tell.
  22. At least someone reads my posts before crapping on
