  1. I think some players are getting a game now just to boost their trade value.
  2. Col is a nice enough bloke. But he and Frawley were part of the problem - trading on talent alone or past all aussie status (frawley). Happy to just be an afl player and float along without ever really showing leadership or accountability for poor effort footy. Col clearly decided to retire two years ago and the club 'fattened the calf' to try and boost the compo calling him a 'required player'.
  3. The wolfmother post rears its head again...
  4. Tommy mc on the banner pls
  5. i thought jkh was good last week. Agree with your comment.
  6. you are right about fast ball movement but in the third term today their mids lost their opponents with ease and Shiel, Wilson and Sculldog just blew their opponent away time and time again. Half the time Kent was running after Shiel or others faster than their opponent. i didnt see the contested possession stat u quoted but to me it looked like a total inside lack of midfield pressure and then an unopposed spreading/running mid time after time in the third term. You cant tackle someone if your ten metres behind and slowing...
  7. Werridee - i think trenners probably more than toumpas.
  8. Im really heartened to read Akum and others understanding why we were blown away: We lacked midfield speed, spread and chase. We needed the likes of JKH cycling through the midfield and maybe Toumpas as the supersub. vince was underdone and dawes had a shocker. should have been no changes for mine. when kent is outrunning midfielders to their opponents you have a problem.
  9. This game was lost at the selection table for mine. Vince was way underdone. We needed midfield run and spread.
  10. I also noticed this. I think a running mid like toump or having JKH to cycle threw midfield would have been a better option.
  11. Good thread. Ive noticed this myself. To thonk that aaron davey took forward pressure to a new innovative level at this club. Probably our last innovation.
  12. Vince was underdone and dawes cant take a mark.
  13. I say leave the side as it is.
  14. Think the Berg will be exciting. See i made another nickname... i was going to say Iceberg but Ice is probably a bad choice of words now days...
  15. Ive heard he has a point to prove as well. Really hope he smashes it.
  16. This time tomorrow we'll have a good indication.
  17. Love jack but think its good that a few are no longer being gifted games.
  18. I think 5-6 wins. We are reliant on youth and that takes time.
  19. blind freddy could have picked the first.
  20. GNF - the guy that told us we offered two picks for Dangerfield and that Jake Lever was a lock at pick 3?
  21. Go back and look at duck's first game and tell me looked like a star?
  22. I don't mind either way. He will eventually play and he was rated the best of three.
  23. We had a cracked - he said no. Family ties mean little. He won't be coming home.
