I don't discount Kemp as being a potential Bont/Cripps type

Think carefully ffs, I think I understand football a little I'm not happy with this year, it's a combination of things, not just a bad coach, a poor fitnees regime and is certainly nothing to do with Jackson or Roos not being around. I'm not throwing the baby out with the bathwater yet, many lessons should have been learned, I've seen changes in the game plan but mid season it's difficult to change and when the players are put under pressure they resort back to old habits, that will come with experience learning to deal with pressure and adapt to slight changes in game plan week to week Overall where do we start Under done players Satisfied players after improvement each year, becoming content with themselves Out of form players A game plan that once tweaked a little IMO will stand up with seasoned bodies but we ain't there yet Goody is also guilty of the above and like the players needs to learn from this Many of our players have been emotionally shot since round 4ish, they are bereft of confidence, not prepared to take responsibility. overhandballing when gettable chances to score or hit up a teammate present themselves. Big off season ahead for many

Agree Cards, good sides win anywhere

Here's a thought reduce the interchange and make it a war of attrition were players can't cover as much ground and we get more 1 on 1 One of he most brutal games I recall seeing the 89 Grand final had a total of 72 tackles

Keep digging you may find the reason we're no good, this year Seriously we beat the same amount of Top 8 sides or more in the proceeding years does that mean we we're a better side in those years. We must have been a gun side in 2010 being a dropped Ricky Petterd mark away from a win and a draw against the Premiers. Apples and oranges

Hawks, GWS, Geelong, Eagles = 4 top 8 sides last season but knock yourself out to suit your argument Not to mention the Crows were in the 8 when we pantsed them in the NT last season FMD the sky is falling

Sorry I was there Friday night and Collingwood did bomb the ball long, they bombed to the pockets and backed themselves to win the ground ball or locked it in to try and get a score from a clearance

They won't give Suns a PP they don't need any more kids, they need seasoned players, think they will again give them 1st access to state league players and possibly mid first/second round picks which they must trade Anyone suggesting taking Henry with pick 2 is a clown. He's not even top 3 of the WA boys, kid can play but Freo and the side with the next 8 picks will roll over laughing if we offer pick 2 for Henry. I would love Anderson but think we'll have pick 4ish I'm leaning towards Kemp and playing him forward while he builds a tank

Ffs Anderson, Rowell, Kemp, Serong, Stephens, Ash and Green are all ahead of Henry

100k members will do that for you and it's not that long ago they were playing hime games in Cairns

One player who I think is ine of the least of our worries and will be fine

I do not rate Jenkins and he would not come cheap in terms of salary, would rather pick up Casboult as a free agent to smash packs and provide a marking target and allow Weid to play as a leading target

I was sitting next an Eagles mate last night who tried telling me Margetts never gives them anything. Margetts had just given a 50/50 Pies way, but I couldn't contain myself, just looked at my mate and said are you for feckin real

Ffs they didn't hide him, everyone knew about him. He was outstanding in the WAFL Colts. Let's not rewrite history he was part of their next generation academy and were never giving him up. Freo are also going to do the same this year with Liam Henry. We could do with getting some value out of our NT deal and getting first access to their kids from outback communities

Was there tonight great game and great result. Meth Coast is a team I despise and I tipped the Pies. Thought Pies were lucky to be that close at halftime but they controlled the 2nd half didn't get rewarded in the 3rd and looked in the 4th as if they weren't going to capitalize for their dominance inside 50m. Grundy destroyed Natanui around the ground, Goodwin and the FD need to learn from that along with Maynes job on Hurn.

They haven't lost at the G since 2017

12 to 18 months ago I would have said steer clear but, Brad Hill is in a much better place now according to my mail. Not many better runners in the AFL

Picking Ablett, Scarlett and Hawkins up in the 40s before the FS rules changed didn't hamper them either

Thanks for the update BB, much appreciated

That's pretty much what I'm saying he's been good of late since they moved him off the wing. Chunk is a warrior, I think many forget how he was almost a one man band in the pre Roos years

Last month says, he stays on for 1 more year. Lewis will be gone end of season and 2020 IMO will be Jones last year

6.Oliver 5. Tmac 4.Trac 3.Fritsch 2. Pruess 1. Harmes

I'm surprised you give any oxygen to the troll DD

Another player we discussed today, he's an interesting one who has certainly raised his stocks after his carnival games. Tough call is was it a sign of an upward trajectory performing under pressure ir has he just put 4 good games together I think the former but think he lacks real x factor, although if anyone can ever show me Simon Blacks Xfactor outside of having great vision and calmness under pressure(which many don't see as xfactor, but I do) Robertson comes from a family of endurance athletes, I'd thought before this year he was very vanilla but he's developed a decent side step and acceleration in traffic, which is a plus I think he'll be a good player by all accounts he's a driven individual but I see him as pick 10+ at best. If as I expect we have pick 5-7 if all available in order I would take Ash, Greene, Kemp, Young, Gould, Serong & Flanders. I am ruling out Anderson and Rowell who will go top 2 or 3 if there's a late bolter.

Said to my mate today whilst there was some good young prospects in todays game Ash stood out was composed in traffic, made good decisions and showed skills under pressure would be a good pick up IMO. I think Rowell is a very safe pick but wouldn't be surprised if from Kemp, Rivers or Green end up being outstanding midfielders
