Roost It

Watched alot of footy over the weekend and reckon the AFL could do well to extend the sub rule to 2 of the 4 interchange. To play an effective flood you need an incredibly fit 22 players. If the weekends games are an indication then you cannot maintain it over 4 quarters with 21 and a sub. Reduce it to 20 and 2 subs and suddenly good old fashioned contested ball is back. Hell just play 20 with 2 subs available for match ending injuries only. Great rule change, one of the best in years. And on another thing get rid of the runners. Allow coaching of interchange players and during the breaks, let the players work it out the rest of the time. Overcoached at times.

Tapscott is strong, has a beautiful beautiful kick. His only question marks will be his ability to play on smaller more agile opponents or those 190cm plus. Time will tell if he is good enough to cover these deficiencies. On yesterday's performance we have reason to be positive. Could I have my pie with cream and berries please.

Really hope to see Blease in by mid season

2000 short of a good crowd.

Surely we're all happy with the progress under Bailey? As much as we want finals he wants development. He's using benchmark indicators on games required individually and as a group. So far he hasn't put a foot wrong. Hang on to Scully and he's a genius.

Surely not. With Roughhead and Franklin we don't have the luxury of playing him at casey

Maric for Aussie MacDonald for Frawlay Jones for Mckenzie Jetta(unlucky and may well keep Aussie out) for Scully Rivers for Morton If Martin keeps improving on that Campbell will become our ruck coach and Spencer won't get a game.

No not that low. Remember it's just one game but he showed plenty. 180 cm is short in the modern game. We were exposed for height down back yesterday and that almost cost us the game. Frawley will help that.

Excellent first up game. [censored] that's a great kick coming off half back. Was super impressed as my expectations were very very low. Could be a tad short or does he just look short because he's so wide! Noticed twice where he kicked it long to players who expected it to fall shorter, both had to really stretch to reach the ball. Hope they bring in Gysberts and Frawley for the hawks. Out: Maric, MacDonald.

As a big Watts fan I think his biggest problem is he seems scared to make a mistake. Sometimes If I was his coach I'd tell him to kick for goal when in range and play on immediately when he's not. Just go for it Jack.

What a load of complete horseshite

Blasphemy

Who's Derryn?

Thanks for your support it's really helped me get through the day

Well that seals it I'm over hunch's anyway. I'm on the Tapscott bandwagon too, and he's a nice guy!

You mean the boy

Doesn't he play for Hawthorn?

I'm having an unreasonable day and thus I decided to spread it around

What sort of money do you want to part with when he underwhelms this season. If my opinion was such trash why do so many respond to it?

Tatts numbers:Try 7 12 13 23 30 36 I'm not trolling just expressing anopinion people don't want to hear. I'll be honest I don't even know why I think it, it's just a hunch and my hunch's are usually, in fact always correct. Most people around here would know me as a fairly reasonable poster who sees the bright side of Demon life, on this I've taken the other road. We'll see how it comes out. The match commitee can easily be wrong. Weetra, Miller, Newton, to name a few. And yes Viney is a little suss on his left and I haven't even seen him!

I'm super happy for people to get excited about new players, I normally do, just not on this occasion. I think Tapscott will be exposed at AFL level.

Warnock cost us both those games. A stray handball in the first and a poor option to Jolly in the second.

Being big isn't a trick so it's back to one and yes your post was a poor effort but feel free to have another crack.

Has happened a few times but alas not on this occasion.
