Ted Lasso

he has seemingly lost the ability to leap and take an overhead mark and his kicking penetration, both were huge weapons of his in his SA days, even in his first years he showed signs

Thomas Boyd was on the table, how they didn't chase him is beyond me, i wouldn't consider any player on their list untradable for a 10 year power forward.

my money is still on Lynden Dunn

i reckon we have improved out of sight, could easily be 3 - 1 if we had one of our key forwards and a touch more luck, we are good enough to beat the suns and should back ourselves to win this game.

I don't believe the AFL would invest the time and effort of getting PJ on board, financially bailing us out, helping get Roosy on board and so on if they were going to relocate us, i reckon North, the doggies and the Saints should be very nervous, i reckon one goes to Tassie

Damien Barrett is an expert, THAT'S how loosely we use the term.

Damien Barrett criticises Dom Tyson trade to Mfc... has never seen him play...

I think his best position is in the backline, he can attack the ball hard and has a long kick but these days you touch the opposition and you give away a free, he is fighting a very uphill battle.

it's interesting from what i have seen JKH doesn't have an issue with pace, he isn't lewis jetta quick but he's quick enough to play the role, doesn't mind the tackling which is important and has really great footy smarts which is what i think will make him a really good player for us.

I was so annoyed when Mark Stevens asked him, "are you embarrassed to lose to a team like Melbourne?" and Mick responds with, "I think you're underestimating Melbourne, beaten us and Richmond, should have beaten St. Kilda and GWS".

also 250 pllus games, 2 brownlows premiership captain a heap of All Australians and all those minor details.

I don't know if we will see Salem or Toumpas til mid year, i want to see Toumpas winning some more contested ball and making himself impossible to overlook, and i want Salem to develop, learn his craft and so on, maybe come in and play a minor role on a forward flank or something later in the year to give him a small taste, maybe as sub

He gave the club 10 years of service, i reckon he deserves nicer words, but that's just my opinion

love the article on the AFL website about JKH also begging Roos to let him play a full game, isn't it a nice change when blokes are desperate to be out there? perhaps the beginning of a cultural shift.

He has a crack in his navicular, full brown stress fracture, it's a four month injury i would say, and given his history i would consider Trenners on ice until day one of 2015 pre season if he is still with the demons at that stage.

This is a real shame, hopefully the year off will help him get completely over it and find the little bit of pace that made him a more complete player when he first came onto the scene

I reckon we are a good chance to win this game, i reckon we have been a whole lot better this year than people appreciate

I was told Salem and Kelly were clearly the two best mids in the draft last year, said Salem could have 20 touches and seriously impact a game he is that damaging and Kelly just runs his opponents off their legs.

How good is that contest between Kent and Ellard! i really think kent will develop into a hard inside/outside onballer.

I think for the moment Frawley playing forward is the best thing for everyone, it's giving us a chance to see what a defence without frawley would look like should he leave and based on yesterday i'd say he has the capacity to be a more than capable CHF for us, his speed is a real asset, between he, Dawes and Hogan we have three very different and dangerous talls, throw Watts and Howe down there and it's a nightmare for defensive sides.

Okay yeah if terlich is out i'd bring clisby in and let Garland get some touch in the 2's for a week or 2

I really can't understand how/why Watts is copping so much, he is only 4 games into being a midfielder and he looks fantastic with ball in hand which is what he is there for, he also had 4 tackles yesterday which i'm not sure what he normally does but i feel is perfectly acceptable. he is only going to get better.

No changes from me, i can't see any inclusion besides Garland that's good enough to demand a spot right off, consistant VFL form and hoping someone plays a couple of shockers at AFL level to get dropped

The Carlton fans reminded me a lot of some of our supporters last year, Booing the players and coach, i reckon Mick is going to come under serious review as hard as that is to believe when you consider the calibre of coach.

Might have been the first goal we kicked i was very close at the ground and he had a massive smile from ear to ear, really seemed to be enjoying his footy
