monoccular

What forward in their right mind would want to play under Lyon? Sure, a negating defender maybe, but a forward?

So, we are doomed because a retired sneaky little staging sniper says so. Woe is me ???

Well, certainly a far better story than anything about Ross's Freo on field 'achievements' since their GF flop only a few years back!

Yeah, but that was offered by Vlad and an artificial club in their set up period.

Actually after yesterday maybe we should move more games to venues where I will not be tempted to waste my time and emotional energy by trying to attend. :-((((

Exactly, Dom. You beat me to the punch. Still, there are those who just love to see the negatives and just make their judgements on a single poor team performance. It is not as if the mids applied a lot of pressure to those delivering into their forward line.

Yes, the poor guy had a shocker by all accounts - I saw only brief glimpses of the farce But at this time he needs support and encouragement from us all (though not more senior game time in the immediate future). Relentless bagging could shatter him for a long time. Positive feedback is always more constructive than total negativity.

“We are .........blah blah .......journey as a footy club ........ structures ...... know our training standards ........”

Seriously why would anyone want to join a club that crumbles whenever pressure is applied?

I beg to differ - jokes are (supposed to be) funny. Agree. Too many here seem to equate Darwin to Alice but they are poles apart They have given Geelong a massive boost, but of course that is a very marginal area electorally I believe.

Hopefully they will all be gelling so well together that there will be a massive selection dilemma. Would be a great problem to have.

As long as we don't expect him to be the great saviour I look forward to having him in the team Al the best Harry

Would that MFC see saw always end up with the kid at the bottom looking up and hoping, only to be let down again? ?

Surely this is a statement of the bleeding obvious!

That certainly is a weird one: Port claiming China as their turf but the games are not home games. ALF logic? And yes, totally unfair, on both participating teams, not to have it before the bye

Sounds a great idea, but if i remember correctly isn't this quite a sloping site? So one would need to either dig at the northern end or build up at the southern end or both. I just can't envisage the loonie left Greens allowing it though.

Jason Taylor ?

No Mr Neeld, we didn't. Do you mean like Malthouse at Carlton? :-( Interesting the wide diversity of opinions here, from disgust to ecstasy. Don't know really what to think, though presumably Peter Jackson has endorsed the appointment, which would give me some confidence.

^^^????? Does anyone have information as to how many times and how many weeks has he missed through hamstring injuries? Are they the same side? (I know he also missed with a shoulder, but have there been other injuries too?) At his best he is a valuable contributor, but I find it hard to think of him as a reliable half forward, and he seems miles away from becoming a midfielder.

Uninterested. Check a dictionary

Given Dean’s injury history and difficulties in staying on the track I don’t know if he would have much trade value.

Brenno You are contradicting yourself We do not need any soft players, regardless of their upside. We showed that last trade period.

Pardon my ignorance but can someone clarify what exactly is the status of a cat B rookie? Are they totally ours or do they still need to go through the draft in some way?

Thanks Mr Neeld

More like their first beer for the day
