Having played and watched a lot of footy at Box Hill 'george', it's a lot better viewing ground than Casey. The Whitehorse Rd hill side makes a huge difference.
-
Love Jack but he wasn't able to break into a rookie back line last season. Hibberd will be a big plus, not just his experience but his left boot.
-
Well argued 'Drunkn'... The only problem I have with the ground apart from location is that if you are not so lucky to be watching from the balcony I don't find it to be a very good viewing ground from a spectators point of view.
-
Too early to call 'Goodvibes'.... ...way too many on the bandwagon at the moment, lets see who stays on. Good numbers and support so far but very average football. I'm with 'praha', the AFL went too early on this. To me "The Emperor has no clothes"...couldn't care less to be out of step.
-
No matter how it gets spun, this is the benchmark for AFL as a spectator sport. I'm happy for the girls to be playing and for them to get this opportunity but I'm not particularly interested in watching apart from going to see my nieces play from time to time. Not sure how it will draw over the long term but lets wait and see.

From a purely selfish point of view we can't afford our player to strike. We are a young developing team and need as much footy as we can get and we need it with our senior leaders on the park standing up showing the way. Let Pendles and the old timers from other clubs take their eye's of the ball and carry the can on this...
-
Yes it should have been the Dogs and us. ...but I think they've gone early. The standard in nowhere near good enough to base a national competition on yet. Will be interesting to watch the TV and game day numbers over the next few weeks. My bet is they will drop off after the hype settles and reality steps in. I know there will be many with rose coloureds but the footy was very average.

...or free Fox Footy.
-
He's the key to our winning contested ball...and missed badly when he's not there. Viney and Jones in particular rely a lot on Dom's strength around the ball to get things moving.

Maybe you should use AFL resources rather than wiki for your facts.... http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/rule-changes-18582013

The centre bounce rule was changed in 2005, White was All Australian in 2004.
-
Have met Sheeds a number of times too 'Ron' and he is good for a chat and good for the game...a likeable larrikin. ...but I don't think he would know much about the relative merits of either player given as I posted recently he was going to sign an autograph for Phil Davis not knowing who he was, the co captain. Also McCartney was quoted recently as saying Tyson will be an absolute gun... Hey, we could end up with the 3 of them. Kelly certainly fills a gap in our list.
-
Kelly would be a better fit...
-
Salem, Hunt....put the band back together with Kelly. Why not?

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS
rjay replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in General Discussion
It's only a matter of time... One man running clean & winning against the rest...call me cynical but I've heard this story before. -
No Yes

'daz', not answering for 'Vogon' but on having seen one training session I thought Trenners looked good, really good. I wouldn't make a call just on training and also just on his pace. I think the biggest thing that held him back was his lack of power in the contest post injury. He was a strong tackler and good in close and he lost all that. ...in the end I don't think we will really know how he stacks up until the games start this year. As you know training is training, games are a whole different thing.

THE BOMBERS' DOPING SAGA - THE FAT LADY SINGS

I agree with you 'willmoy'...I love that he's back fit & well but surely he doesn't need the weight of the captaincy at this time of his life. It's going to be enough to survive the battle for a start and to play is a bonus. The captaincy, whilst it carries an emotional edge for him and his teammates may be asking a bit too much. -

Great to hear Roughie is up and running, good choice of Captain by the Hawks....a real good news story and boy does the AFL need one. Who are the others you are talking about????? -
RECRUITS WHO WILL HAVE THE MOST IMPACT IN 2017
rjay replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I would be... Jones is the Captain, Lewis is a natural leader around the club with no reason to give him a title. -
I would add Carlton and the Tiges to those 2 and put Collingwood in the extremely doubtful with Freo. Not convinced with EFC either but we will see...
-
Been saying for a while that Dom is a similar type player to Joey Kennedy. Looks like Macca thinks he can move up to that level, good news for us. A very important part of our midfield mix...our strongest player over the ball, gets things moving and can kick a goal.
-
Carlise is a defender...Bruce a handy 'B' grader and McCartin yet unproven... Nick is still the man, with him gone or on the wane the pressure goes on the others. A Nickless forward line is hardly far more advanced than ours. I don't think they are bad I just think we are better positioned to make a good run at it.
-
No reason we can't... We have a very good well balanced list... unless we have some real injury problems then I think we would have underachieved if we don't make finals in 2017...

Agree, it seems he has been very poorly advised... ...then again it could be that he would only listen to what he wanted to hear and wouldn't pay any regard to anyone with a differing view. Maybe he surrounded himself with sycophants.
