  1. Should throw the kitchen sink at Coniglio as a free agent come seasons end. Lazy 207 SuperCoach points today! He’s a superstar!
  2. I think that watching him sometimes, but then remember he’s already 25 and has been around for 7 years already! Probably never going to become much more than he is already so far into his career. North looking decent tonight. Shows what a bit of hunger can do to a playing group. Goodwin seems too laid back most of the time. I want to see him fire up and get the players fired up.
  3. Noah Anderson is the perfect fit for us. A complete mid with flair, pace, versatility and ability to hit the scoreboard regularly.
  4. 6-6-6 killed chaos and pressure footy. It rewards maintaining possession aka Hawks earlier this decade. Teams are forced to play one and one and can’t go quickly into their forward line which as much success as their forward line is now flooded... the now proven net result of the rule change. Great job AFL! It’s also boring as batshit. As a neutral, this season has been the least enjoyable to watch in my lifetime. Scoring is down, tackling numbers are down, pressure is down, it’s proper rubbish.
  5. Welcome Kyle! Comes from good pedigree and was probably the best option available. He could become a decent player for us in the front half.
  6. That was a heart breaking article to read. I hope Paddy is able to recover and live a normal heathy life after footy. Health and wellbeing are more important than a game.
  7. [censored] this club. Pathetic effort.
  8. It’d be good if our midfield could get a touch or lay a tackle. Absolutely pathetic effort so far. If you don’t have the ball, then tackle. Losing both counts is unacceptable and comes down purely to work rate and effort.
  9. Weakest crowd I can remember since the Neeld days. Great day for footy. Where is everyone?
  10. Spargo in is mind boggling. His form at afl level this year has been horrible, and his form in the vfl hasn’t been worthy of promotion. Really shows the coaches and selection committee playing favorites to pick someone in such poor form. Either that or we’ve got more injuries than I realized and the fit options are down to Spargo and Preuss?
  11. We could actually keep both. One would start on the bench and come on for backline rotations. Oscar likely forced out by May and Lever. Both Wagners out. Petty may force Frost out longer term, but Frost is better in the immediate future. Below is how I'd picture the backline and bench looking in an ideal injury and form situation. FB: Jetta May Hore HB: Hibberd Lever Salem Bench: Back (Frost) Mid Mid Fwd
  12. All the lower placed teams. That keeps us within touch of the 8 if we can perform, or hands us a higher draft pick if we can’t.
  13. Would gladly take him in a supportive role. He’s a decent coach who go the best out of a bog ordinary list of players. Seems like a decent motivator or players, so something that would play to that strength. Roos are in real trouble now!
  14. I did the ladder predictor and had us finishing 10th at the end of the season. In my generous predictions we finished 12 wins -10 losses. 12-10 could get let you finish 7th or 8th... if your percentage is worthy. Our percentage is horrible and will prevent us playing finals even if we string wins together. We’d have to roll teams like Pies and Eagles on top of winning all the other “easier” matches. It’s not our year unfortunately.
  15. He’s one of the most dangerous players on our list and is one of the few that has the key attribute we lack - pace! It’s great he’s past his back injuries that ruined his season last year. Now he’s fit, I’d play him every week. He’s proven capable forward and back, and could be good wingmen also IMO
  16. Sounds potentially like a Jaiden Stephenson type? I’m all for taking him if so!
  17. Viney of 2015-2017 would’ve. 2019 Viney is a shadow of his former self. Nice to see Simpson take a public stance that Varsys behavior was rubbish.
  18. The mark was taken in the goal square so he’s going to kick it regardless. This is the time to a stand and give away a 50, as the 50 makes no difference. If only Lewis was there to belt someone. The players response was weak and disappointing. Felt so sorry for Max who’d copped a boot in the face and then abused. What are his mates doing?! Fritsch should be dropped for his pathetic game last night. His work rate and turn overs are momentum killing. That mark and goal is on him. His kicking was beautiful last year. This year it’s been amongst the worst in the league. Massive drop off in form from someone I was hoping would be a real weapon for us this year and beyond.
  19. Our percentage being horrible will prevent us making finals even if we win enough. I’m expecting us to win a few, like GWS match next week, but finals is off the cards at this point.
  20. Get a kicking coach into the club and we’ll win the premiership. Set shots: 2 goals 6 behinds from 11 shots. Pathetic kicking.
  21. We’ve reverted to long bombs that are just being picked off. Game over.
  22. [censored] THESE UMPIRES TWO GOALS COME FEOM DIRECT UMPIRING MISTAKES
