  1. We have to win. Cannot rely on Port losing to the bombers. Port should win meaning we need a win v Giants or Eagles
  2. 47 years and its in the blood. Optimism? What is that? I have heard about this mystery feeling
  3. Port must lose cats percentage ffs. They have the Suns next week !
  4. Struggling again today. Kicked a goal but just a handful of touches.
  5. No surprise. Hard to see a depleted Casey overcoming the odds again. Aside from Sicily, Roughead and Birchall, most of Hawks list is available.
  6. Still think in the late 20s the best option is a youngster like Tom McKenzie, Mitch Riordan & Hugo Munn. probably Valente, Duursma & O’Halloran will be gone by 29-32
  7. I would draft 24yo Alex Barns from nth Adelaide. Big ruck/fwd. 201 cms. Physically ready. Can play as a key forward as well. Shhhh
  8. Update post round 21 Retired. Balic. Vince (likely). Delist Johnstone (re rookie). Bugg. Jkh. McKenna. King. Filopovic (r) Trade - Garlett to Freo pick 55-60 ish rookie upgrade - keilty T smith and Maynard stay as rookied that gives us 7 picks plus a rookie spot add - 2 x free agents add - 5 through draft incl Toby Bedford add - 1 rookie need to get a ruckman for Gawn backup
  9. Close games v injuries. Lever and Viney. They play. We beat Saints, Swans and Cats.
  10. Yes Goodwins instructional play is handball or short pass until it’s 20 metres out. We are unlikely to kick running goals from 40-50 out even with open goals
  11. Flower is still the best player I have seen. Better than Ablett, Carey, Dangerfield, Buckley. He carried Melbourne with skill and pure footy smarts. Simply the greatest.
  12. 23 to Perth. 10 unavailable Assume Pedo & Spargo dropped and Weid & Kent promoted. Traveller Josh Wagner MFC likely. 11 only Johnstone. Pedo. Hannan. Petty. Bugg. Filopovic. McKenna. King. Spargo. Keilty. TSmith casey. 12 White. Hutchins. Gent. Machaya. Lockhart. C.Wagner. Scott. Lok. Stephenson. Stockdale. Munro Freeman (23rd man) weakest team for the year. Not many more in the cavalry !!! Again again Casey killed by injuries and likely straight set demise in finals. Most like Tigers, Cats, Hawks will have min 16-17 listed AFL players ready to go in finals
  13. Definitely there is a chance MFC will look at mature aged VFL players. Lockhart (Casey) Collins (Werribee) Hore (Collingwood) & Corey Wagner (Casey). All will be drafted or rookied
  14. This is Sam’s time to show his talent. I hope he does
  15. It’s time its time for Sam Weideman we had hoped for a Hogan & Weideman forward combo but tommy McDonald has taken the second key forward role with hogan out for the rest of 2018, Weideman must step up in these next 2 rounds he is ready. He can be the forward we need give Sam the rev up and set him loose
  16. Love it except I never was tempted elsewhere keep the faith
  17. Update: out for season - Lever Hogan Stretch Maynard Vince likely out for season - Viney Baker Out 1-2weeks J smith out 2-4 weeks Hunt retired Balic 10 men down, but really 3 out of my best 22 (Viney Lever Hogan) so still hope jetta. Omcd. Hibberd salem. Frost. Lewis harmes. Jones. Brayshaw petracca tmcd anb garlett Weideman Fritsch gawn Tyson oliver Melksham jkh Kent Vandenburg Outs Spargo Hunt Pedersen Hogan ins Weideman Kent Hibberd Melksham
  18. Lewis is not the problem. Poor kicking. Poor decision making. Poor goal kicking is not Lewis.
  19. Berr Rubbish?! Swans were not better. We lost it. 10.18 is a poor output when we dominated without getting the scoreboard results.
  20. Versus a team with 2 players down for 3 quarters. Near enough is not good enough. We had chances even in the last 5 minutes. Not hungry enough.
  21. 20 minutes last quarter. 7 points down and we gave nothing. It had to be walking over nails attitude but we were soft again.
  22. Goal kicking coach is a ex Czech tennis player called Igot Noidea
  23. Frost needed to be played and wasn’t it cost us earlier in the year Frost caught Franklin at least 5 times with a chase. He has the size and pace
  24. ANOTHER LOST OPPORTUNITY v cats twice, v power, v saints, v swans
