  1. I have to ask, though I appreciate sounding like a scratchy 45 going around and round. We've had plenty of opportunities to get this type of player, but we went for the hard inside types as that's the style. Would it not require a distinct change in direction for our FD to prioritise this kind of player ?
  2. What...a plan B ?
  3. Does Sandra write for the Roar ?? ?
  4. Yep. Serious question... would you not temper the style...a bit ...to accommodate the different levels of ability and experience ??
  5. We have to assume , surely, that as any cross section of people, there are some quite intelligent among the list. Only an idiot isn't going to wonder how appropriate the 'plan' is. NOW ??
  6. Maybe what they are being asked to 'buy in ' on...just isn't worth buying ??
  7. Individuals are different...maybe hold off the smarmy sarcasm til we all a bit better informed.. or are you invoking god here
  8. You'd have to wonder. Poor bloke. Gotta be hard on the psyche
  9. What about cr@ppy grass ?? lol
  10. Bit late in his career to start I'd have thought
  11. Serious question. Nothing is different now going into round 4 re rules as it was going into round 1 Why wait til now to adapt ?
  12. funny.....sliding doors OD...sliding doors...and windows that slam shut
  13. I can think of other years when barracking for my team was everything a younger fan could do I could never see finals for there were always better rivals How can you mend a broken team How can you stop the raining goals How can what's begun stop declining What makes this club go round ? How can you mend, this broken team How do these losers ever win please help them mend this broken start and let them play again I can still taste the Bries pass the mussels if you'd please and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry we will never watch'em in finals been outplayed by better rivals how can you mend a broken team how do we stop them falling down …....
  14. According to Goodwin he'll stay on the wing ? .. because he's so good there !! ??
  15. With all due respect...we need to do much more than that. 666./ Kick ins....nothing to do with 4 players to the ball 666/kick ins.... nothing to do with bombing 666/kickins ....nothing to do with spoiling own marks 666/kickins... nothing to do with not running two ways 666/kickins.... nothing to do with ridiculous defense 666/kickins ....nothing to do with lack of pressure. Yes we need to adapt.... maybe we first start by adapting to AFL !!!!
  16. So... provided it's all different...we have a chance....right O
  17. Well be the only ones congested or haven't you been watching us lately. Clever teams allow us to play stacks on the mill.
  18. If he's any good ( really ) Dew will try to keep him. If he doesn't...we probably don't want him
  19. The SCG has always played effectively half a kick shorter. It's not really that much shorter, just plays that way. As I view it, the new kick in strategy will put the swannies practically into attack position from that long kick in , especially against teams with poor defense structure. I fear we'll be opened up like a can of beans.
  20. We have NO influence at AFL They toy with us.
  21. Oh bugger....forgot about him .
  22. The honest answer is no-one really knows. The problem, as such with chunk , since that very first game I saw against North , is that he's a see ball get ball type. Nate doesn't play a very complex style. He's a meat and three veg in and under inside mid. Occasionally he finds the sticks which always surprises me as he can hardly ever find a team mate with a properly weighted pass. But he is Melbourne through and through and he's been there when it counted. Unfortunately...the game is going past him at a great rate of knots . He's gone from reliable (in a fashion ) to liability. Funny thing is he's still plays a more accountable game than some, and that's saying something !! I guess Jones gets to play until someone really pushes him aside. That might be season's end at that might be it. Season's heading for a bust anyway. I honestly have no idea where he should play now. I'm not sure it matters.
  23. Would that guarantee a flag ???
