BAMF

You guys are letting your hatred of Collingwood get the better of you. If it stops injuries then im all for it.

At this stage I would take it.

Someone must come in to relive Jamar. He will burn out very quickly at this rate. I would be very happy bringing Spencer in for Wonna. This is a development year. Spencer needs development.

Agreed. A passenger today.

Would you trade him at the end of the year? If yes, what would you think would be a realistic return for him?

Is he? I always thought of him as a small leading forward with good goal sense and always able to find space.

I've been thinking about this a lot since last week. Bailey made no noticeable changes to get us working last week. I was really upset that Bailey would go out at the quarter and half time breaks and give the boys a spray, and then just sit there in the box and do nothing to change the fact that we were getting beaten. However. It is a development year. Anyone thinking finals or anything else is fooling themselves. Bailey is trying to get the number 1 game plan working. Once we get that right I reckon we will start seeing plan B if needed. I really hope we see Garland go forward soon. Wasn't Grimes suppose to be spending a lot more time in the middle this year as well?

Another note from that game. Hawthorn wearing yellow, Richmond wearing Gold. Umpires wearing yellow. I could have sworn Adrian Anderson getting very defensive and saying last week was a mistake and would never happen again. Yet one week later. Hope the media get into it a bit.

I actually agree with BBP. I really think Brad Miller would have been a big difference out there yesterday. We needed a leading target at half forward. All we had was PJ. Brad Miller will play next week. And deserves his chance. He is still a certain de-listing at the end of the year.

Needed to move Davey and Green as permanent forwards half way through the third quarter. Needed Johnson to go to the bench. We really could have used Miller as a target across centre half forward yesterday. I know Bailey is trying to get our players to get the game plan right, but im starting to get worried that there is no plan B. Bailey would have to take a lot of credit for the loss.

Maximum Gawn. Can't wait for this kid to be fit. Unfortunately we are probably going to have to wait till next year for him to play at senior level. Next week I would play Dunn. Was unlucky to be dropped. Has got a massive tank, can help out in the ruck against ports weak 2nd ruck option. Provides a bit of mongrel and all he needs to do is kick 2 goals and he will be loved by every fan on demonland. Won't be the best option as 2nd Ruck every week. But will be the best option next week. There is no point bringing Martin in. He has done nothing better than Pj this year.

They certainly did. After the 08 Grand final they wanted someone to help out there backline, especially with Croad looking in bad shape. Jared was injured at the time, I doubt they would have offered us anything better than their second rounder. We told them that we were not interested but put the offer to Rivers anyway. And he said No.

Well they did a few years ago didn't they? I doubt they offered us anything worthwhile.

Agreed. I hate it when supporters do this crap. Some of the demon supporters on bigfooty are the worst. They make us all look bad.

Because it's a new thread which is about how many people have looked at another thread. And then continued on with the same topic as the other thread. Why couldn't he have just posted the opening post in the current thread?

Thanks for the new thread. Just what we needed. Why couldn't you have posted your opening post in the current Jack Watts thread? Is your opinion on "People getting excited about a player" so big that it needed to be a new topic?

I would take either/both of them in less than a Heart beat.

Totally agree. if Green is played in the square for the whole game it robs us of another player rotating through the middle.

An interesting read. Leading forwards are very much in fashion at the moment. However, one day there will be a player as good as Alister Lynch was at standing in the goal square and beating his opponent one on one. Just because Hawkins and Neagle are no good at this doesn't mean there isn't a place for it. Hale got a couple of goals on us last weekend doing exactly that.

This is getting more annoying than the annual 'Bring Back Woewodein' threads.

I don't agree with this. The first time Miller played on Hall he did ok, but I think it was Barry Hall having a bad night as well as our midfield restricting the delivery to him. The 2nd game Hall clearly beat him in every area except the score board where Hall missed several gettable goals. The 3rd game Hall dominated.

Nice work mate.

I played rugby for a few years and our whole team wore helmets. There is no way that it's just a placebo effect. Imagine a clash of heads without helmets. And then imagine a clash of heads with helmets. Yes. it would still hurt. but the chance of being knocked out would be a lot lower.

I guess it comes down to how many new players we want to take on at the end of the year. We will need to make room on the main list for Spencer and Mckenzie. I would expect us to use our first 3 rounds picks on new players. Thats 5 players that will have to go at years end.

I have been one of the many people over the years to under-rate Junior. When he was drafted I didn't think he would even get to 50 games. I was shocked when he was appointed captain, as I assumed he would be playing less game time towards the end of his career. A couple of years later im still waiting for him to start slowing down. However the old man just isn't slowing down. He's very close to his All Australian form. If he continues to play anywhere near this level for the rest of the year then we would be foolish not to give him another year. It's going to be very hard for spots on the list if we do. Especially with Bail smashing it. He has gone from certain de-listing to a very promising player.
