Demon Disciple

He just found his niche. If he is able to maintain the past couple of weeks efforts (or even improve in them given his inexperience at playing this role) he will become a mainstay in our team and add a third bow to his versatility (flanker, midfielder, tagger).

I like this release from JM. It's a none too subtle '[censored] off' to NM. And rightly so.

JKH should finally get the arse. The media should finally apply the blow torch on our player’s and coaching for losing the virtually unloseable. Maybe, and I’m being optimistic here, Goody might get the arse come year’s end for blatant coaching incompetence.

This club will be the death of me. I’m being serious. Repeat......this is not an overstatement. PS - send out a search warrant, Hogan has been missing for the past month.

Disgusting. Disgusting by the player’s to let the cats virtually waltz into their forward 50 with only 20 seconds to go. Disgusted by the level Goodwin’s ignorance and stubbornness has reached. The bloke is clearly in la la land. why invest any time in this club, as it ends in agony and anger (or is that hatred)?

I’m not angry, i’m just astounded how this club continues to find new ways to disappoint us. How a team can give up a 5 goal lead, after kicking 5 straight goals to establish such momentum, and lose is inexcusable.

Flat track bullies. When things are good, everything’s groovy. The moment an ounce of pressure is applied we go to water (on field and in the box)

In some ladder predictor instances, some teams winning 13 games may miss out on making the finals. 12 will definitely not be enough, in fact 13 and superior percentage may just be enough.

How about Fritsch to cover Hibberd? Did more than ok last week, is just as skilled by foot and good overhead. Maybe not the same when it comes to crash and bash, but i'd have him go back if it means keeping the likes of Wagner out. We have several HFF's that could come in (whether or not they should is another question).

On the contrary SWYL, players' who like a challenge would be turned off by this, as Max would be making it all too easy for them by continually palming it down their throats.

IMO if Hogan stays at Melbourne come his next contract, he will remain a one-club player until he retires. He's a Freo supporter, so going to the Eagles would probably be much worse than staying in Melbourne (the city). Lucky for us Jesse won't qualify for UFA status as even including his first year at the club when he couldn't play it brings his total years of service to 7 (unless they lower the FA age limit), plus Freo are an absolute rabble at the moment, and will remain so for the next few years. As for Harvey spreading this tripe, lol. Must be a slow news week over at SEN, scraping the bottom of the barrel going with that weasel's opinion.

There is no need to ask who you would choose out of those 2 now.

The Rising Star is a BS award. You highlighted Clarry, but also look at the 2014 winner in Lewis Taylor (Patrick Cripps also came from that draft). The Rising Star award gives zero credence as to which players' will develop into stars during their careers, but hey let's give them star status usually after only their first year of footy.

Yep, a few of our guys will be taking votes away from each other. Whereas at Hawthorn, it has been Mitchell then daylight.

Robbie was courageous, a 2-way runner, quick, could run all day, and had phenomenal skills. He'd be the best player in any of our teams since 1965 onwards. Heck, he'd give RDB a run for his money as our best during our golden era.

Kangaroos have nightmares of Clarry thumping the cr@p out of their sherrin'd skins

Gawn won't get close. He is a ruckman for one, umps don't give them any votes and how many games has bl00dy Nicholls umpired against us? He'd give Gawny negative votes such is his disdain for him. Plick

If Goodwin does bring in Tyson, then he needs to play him in the midfield the entire game. If he puts him elsewhere, then it might prove to be another serious flaw in the coaching set-up

Would be fantastic if he kicked the ball a little more, as it is as much a weapon as his handballs are. If he starts to increase his kicking output, he will go to another level ?

Come on Pates, more chance of winning powerball than umps being consistent

How much will the Darwin game come back to haunt us?

Coach has an easy to dissect gameplan with no plan B, and the players’ themselves are all for glory without wanting to put in the guts. Both think we’re better than what we are, but will refuse to come back to reality until the season is lost. Case in point, Tom McDonald saying the club understands that every game is important given our r23 debacle last year (after losing to the Saints). Club is in dreamworld.

Won’t get much for him.

coming from Tim Gossage, one of the most biased West Australian's out there. Take it with a grain of salt either way.

Needs to be a very light week, maybe just recovery, for us to get up for next weeks game
