monoccular

Fair points there Ros said his first priority was teaching the team to defend - they seemed to be doing that at times last year, despite some bad losses, but this year they seem to have slipped backwards probably because of a totally changed plan.

Such balanced reporting ? A far more interesting conspiracy theory than many others to date Maybe seed that. Where was it reported?

And of course the MRP had a good look at that too ?

Exactly Almost everything about our beloved club has become so much more professional......except the selection committee.

IN - at training, David Schwarz to give Jesse a bloody kicking lesson, please. Or even get JW4 to take him aside and spend time with him. As John Kennedy (Hawks coach not US President) said - "just do something"!

Coming back from Alice should be no more problem that coming from Perth or Brisbane - absolutely no excuse for a poor performance. Darwin on the other hand is a much longer flight and is far more physically taxing. So why not, if something interstate is deemed necessary keep the Alice one and ditch the Darwin one, especially as the AFL in their (total lack of) wisdom refuse to give us, and our opponents for that matter, this fixture immediately before the bye.

Still very vulnerable to quick turnover in forward line.

Nice to have a strong FF but someone teach into bloody kick!!

Low 20s and dry. Far bettWr than freezing wet in Melbourne

Too late - thanks to Vlad and Dill there is none left.

That one went ok

OMG this umpiring is appalling. Franklin had his head pulled off...responded...free Norf high tackle. Rubbish.

And not long before that some Kangaroo dived into a pack, connected his head or neck with an opponents hip.....high tackle. It is crap and it is so dangerous to encourage this [censored]

Much as I gate to say it, Norf were bloody unlucky with the 50 against Thomas. The Swan dropped the mark quite clearly. Blind maggots.

By quarter time or at the end?? :-)

Only if his played at CHB.

Ernest - there are always people who just don't respect the achievements of others unless those achievements are outstanding. As you imply, even reaching an AFL list is a bloody good achievement that the vast majority of humanity fail to achieve. Sure these players were not world beaters and may not have achieved what they themselves would have hoped or expected, but they did wear the great red n blue Good luck to them.

Exactly my point....and it WILL happen if he continues

Wow What a fabulous kid to have at our club The sort of person who hopefully will encourage others to want to stay

The guy is a bloody cheat and he WILL inevitably suffer a significant head, face or neck injury....and some poor bugger will be made to feel guilty about it

I suspect that Cale may have struggled to develop physically even under our programme.......maybe could have bulked up at Essendon though.

old joke ------ time to move on

Good question re Hulett - looks to be a physical beast.....has anyone seen if he can ruck?

I suspect that you are right.

How about Dawes for Daw?
