  1. No. I think we need a smaller forward who can kick goals.
  2. I wonder if Darcy Moore will try to headbut KozIe’s hip again 😮
  3. Hi guys - really looking forward to this one - best win in years, and second consecutive win against last year's grand finalists! Goal conversion is still disappointing, though 4 posters, and a couple touched on the line unfortunate. Final quarters, our nightmare earlier in the season, have been fantastic last week and this. Are both sides of this issue a result of our training program? Couldn't be more contrasting . If he is concussed, this may be a solution to the ongoing Spargo dilemma. Contributed very little other than one solid tackle prior to being subbed off - I wondered if he was to be subbed off very soon anyway. Sharp certainly took his opportunity with speed, pressure and a couple of goals. Was Lever lame in the final minutes? Seemed to be hobbling. TMcD is ready and waiting. Take the Saints seriously. give them a hiding, and it will make a massive King's Birthday.
  4. Yes, but one game at a time. Still need to give the Saints a good old fashioned flogging. AJ didn't hit the scoreboard but although stats say only 2 goal assists, he was heavily involved in several more, AND provides real contest in ruck duels, and the ground ball scramble that often follows. Sharp provided spark when he replaced an underwhelming Spargo. Lever seemed to be hobbling in the last minutes - same injury or not? TMcD would be a well justified replacement. Selection will be interesting. AND we just cannot afford to let so many chances go begging against better sides.

  6. Syndesmosis?? is that why is has been renamed “Downlow” since Jab Watson won it ? Moore? Cox? 20 others?
  7. Cream?? Is that JVR? If so, why?
  8. Except Tom has been a very consistent, in fact the only consistent tall defender, so far this season.
  9. Actually not good at all re Viney. Vibes of Angus ? 😩😡
  10. And haven’t we heard this before.
  11. Dogs a rabble at the moment.
  12. absolute hypocrisy AFL I turned it on and thought - Port Adelaide v Freo.
  13. James Strauss and Adem Maric, as I recall, were both drafted because they were touted as “elite kicks”. Unfortunately neither could show if this was true, as neither could win the ball.
  14. Meanwhile JV7 is about to miss his third game with concussion, which earned a one game suspension. He has had a few concussions: I hope that this isn’t going the path of Angus, who was concussed into retirement by “a football act”😡
  15. Shhhh Don’t draw attention, this week, that MFC is way ahead of $ydney. Instructions will come from HQ to start evening it up 😮 MFCSS recurring. Anyone know a cure, other than the one we found in 2021?
  16. Would prefer Spargo, who some excuse as coming back from injury, playing a few weeks at Casey with K Brown herring a decent seniors run in the same role. Come list management time we will have the likes of Brown and Woey without sufficient exposure from which to make a hard call. or May (managed)? so does that mean that every player in a chain from deep defence to a goal of uninterrupted would get a goal assist? Just asking. Recovering from a long injury layoff with half a dozen senior games doesn’t seem logical to me. Lever came back (or will be coming back) via Casey so why not Spargo? Maybe the usual ABC “fact checker”?🤔
  17. And that wasn’t read at AFLHQ that there is a massive lack of impartiality or objectivity displayed by the MRO ever since he was appointed.
  18. Fascinating analysis. Am I right in saying that Jeff lives in QLD? How valuable would he be as an assistant coach were he willing and able? OR, to those who have a far greater understanding of tactics and structure than I, is this all just basics??
  19. My friend is a lemming, on ice - I am neither, so wouldn’t.
  20. Certainly pivotal To the AJ detractors, did having a competitive beast backing Max up make this possible.
  21. He does, though interesting that Xerri is the leader.
  22. Kynan Brown anyone? Fierce tackler already proven at AFL level.
  23. so did we Do you think we would use him (Frederick) better?
  24. Windsor can come out of defence by leaving Turner in his place and playing Windsor as a wing / HF
