    I think Tom still plays like a basketballer & hasn't been able to transition his athletic traits to football. You can get away with it at VFL level but get found out in the AFL. When he jumps at the ball it's not with intent, he seems open (for want of a better word) & he's too easily pushed aside or blocked. He does some smart things around the ball, little tap ons & the like that come from his previous sport. ...but as a package he's obviously not the answer. Wonder what LJ's doing.

    Bit of an understatement, but that was a good win...
  3. Anyway, back to Harvey; looks like we got a good one here and his mate Lindsay is not far behind him.
  4. He cops a fair bit 'Gonzo'...got flattened by a classic rib tickler the other night and got up, dusted himself off and went on his merry way.
  5. Different player to Ablett 'dazz' , but there's no doubt he is an absolute jet.
  6. He's really not 'picket', like it or not the kid is a great player and match winner. ...and as KB used to say, it's hard to tackle when you've got the ball.

    I've said this before and will repeat myself. It's time to get rid of the NGA's... The AFL need to do it's job and promote the game and a fair draft.

    Whether it's fair or not 'Macca', if the message is not getting through then that will come back on the coach. For whatever reason, he can't sell the message and the old term of lost the players comes to the fore. The players should take their share of the blame, it's them that play the game and are performing poorly but in the end it's the coach that goes and they for the most part they play on.

    I'm not a fan, but she has a point. Like a lot of things that were well set up by PJ the women's program has been neglected by key players. Obviously Roffey was a supporter but not sure she had a lot of followers.

    Stat reader... Not sure what Buckley said on his show tonight but was on the money this morning with his comment that we don't look a happy team. That's what it's really all about, this is not a unified group at the moment.

    It appears that 1 + 1 = 3...

    Pity... He worked with the man who turned it around & appears to have the no BS edge we need to do it again.

    I hope they've spoken with Mahoney.
  15. I think the bigger concern is how we've f... his development. A kid who probably should have been back at Casey to get some confidence is expected to carry a dysfunctional forward line as the only KPF on the weekend. That's just not right.
