Female umpire - love the attention

Pruess has everything that Weideman doesn’t and vice versa. Weid is great below the knees, Pruess can take a pack mark. Pruess plays like Tarzan.

So our entire forward line.

If we wern’t such a hopeless club we wouldn’t have drafted him. There is an old saying if my Aunty had balls she’d be my uncle.

The lack of pre-season due to surgery and injury set us back. The injuries during the year killed us. We will never know but we may have been able to deal with one but we and no other team could have a good year with both. To compare other teams injury list without including pre-season is ignorant.

After watching the Adam Goodes documentary on channel 10 last night I can’t help but see a massive divide between feelings and reason. The same leftist who always post on these boards will think the booing of Adam Goodes was racist. The posters of centre right will argue it is not. Why is that? For mine the booing of Goodes is clearly not racist because * other indigenous players are not booed * Goodes spent the majority of his career not being booed. It only changed after a number of his actions both on field and off. Hence his actions were booed not his race. For the lefties: * the vibe is racist because he is indigenous

Don’t forget the out on the full!

Derm was a favourite of mine but like Gary Lyon thank goodness he was never a coach. Great players and personalities but poor analytical skills. Oliver is a beast who hunts and tackles aggressively. Brayshaw attacks the ball with no regard for his physical well-being and tackles when it his turn. To put the blow torch on the tackling of our midfield misses completely why we have plummeted in ladder position this season.

So Weid’s best game is for the same output as Petty’s 3 goals this week. Petty has played 1 game forward. More to come... In that final against Geelong the first goal Weid got was from a blocking free kick, the second, three Geelong players flew for it, Weid was out of position but it fell into his lap and he almost ruined it with 2 bites of the cherry. The third was brilliant. That is his best game and what is providing everyone hope.

Actually 31 for Weid but yes it has only taken 1 game as a forward for Petty to show more than Weid. Can’t wait for game 2 against the best backline in the league.

Garland played juniors as a forward and would also be a better chf than Weid. Petty was thrown forward in desperation because of injuries. He kicked 3 goals in his first showing and looked good. The opposition actually need to man up on him which is more than can be said about Weid who they know is no chance and peel off him.

Petty is a better center half forward after 1 game playing forward. I really don’t care that Weid can allegedly take the ball at the peak of his leap. I have never seen it. Petty CHF Weid trade bait if we can get anything.

We’re one all with them at their home ground last season. They haven’t lost at the G for a few years. A neutral venue suits.

I wonder if he lacks peripheral vision. Some of the kicks he’s done from full back have been kicked perfectly at our bloke but the opposition float across and intercept far too easily.

Look in the mirror. No matter how good a club list or culture is, there becomes a point, where if you have too many players miss a pre-season and then have a heavy injury toll during the middle of the season it will stymie any chance of catching back up.

Re-read what you just posted. It makes no sense at all. Great for bravado little in logic.

It will rightly be shone on Melbourne if we get a preseason into our players, have a reasonable run with injuries and don’t get into the pointy end of the season. Until then what is the point?

Clark Keating only played finals in the greatest team ever. AVB foot can’t stand up to the endurance, speed and body mass. Just prepare him him for September where he dominates.

When Lever and May get to 100 we will have won at least one premiership.

It wasn’t a mistake when you were a hopeless footy club, you got first pick and they threw in a priority. we just didn’t capitalise on it. Where we are now winning is much more important.

He will come back on a wing.

Some of his kicks yesterday were bullets. But we always seem to play our best footy when Hogan is injured so let’s see how he goes next week.

Snr is the greatest ever. He still would be if he played today. Jnr was/is brilliant in a game that is different he gets more possessions than anyone, uses the ball well and kicks lots of goals for a midfielder but has nothing on the old man.

Great news. Everytime i had the opportunity to watch Casey play and walked out to hear Rawlings at half time all I could think was it is only a matter of time until we lose him to a senior role. He has the balance of old school motivator, commander of respect and a communicator of tactics. Don’t know enought about the strength and condition coach from Hawthorn but he can’t go any worse. Glad we are being proactive despite fair and reasonable reviews will find we were hampered by injury.

I still can’t understand why we moved Bernie Vince from the middle the following year after winning the b&f. When you have a bloke who plays his best footy in the centre play him in the centre.
