All I am saying is that I can't remember (I think there was maybe one game), Bate winning a game off his boot. Don't get me wrong, I agree he is settling and shows great promise to be a game winner. Good sized body and as someone else said, knows how to bomb it long for the smalls. Miller is great at taking marks, running backwards for 20-30m by which time everyone has been covered by their respective opponent. Bate simply needs to take the next step otherwise I worry he will be just a so-so player and will be overtaken by our younger developing players. That is all.

In a side where people will be tripping over each other to get into the midfield, why wouldn't you play Green in the forward line? Great kick and good set of hands. In regards to Watts, I was encouraged by what we say this year. In the 3 games he played, we lost by about 10 goals each time. Yet he still managed to kick a handful of goals. He has a good awareness and once he gets a frame will be a good player. Petterd has shown enough when he kicks those 3-4 bags a couple of times a season. Watts and Petterd for me. The jury is still out for me with Bate. I can't understand why everyone considers him a walk up start. I put him ahead of Newton and Miller only because he can kick straight(er).

Probably written by a Collingwood supporter with a peanut as a brain. They quickly forget how they were on their deathbed in the mid 80's and how sh*t they were in the late 90's. What a tool that bloke is anyway with no facts - IGNORE! If he is a Carlton, St Kilda or Hawthorn supporter, he also has a short memory. Richmond and Kangas.....please!

Unfortunately interstate clubs always win their token 4-5 games against the other ailing clubs and it is hard for them to finish bottom (I know you aren't necessarily saying that about Sydney). It is always too hard to write them off. I for one think that Fremantle has been just as bad as us but win their games as a result of the travel factor. Playing at the G is easier for them then us playing at Perth as in theory they play here more often. You can't write off the Pies (as much as it is hard to say it) as Demtripoo always gives them a headstart with the draw.
