  1. That's 50 but Richmond get to hold onto the ball when North get a free allowing their players to run back.
  2. Offer them Howe and Watts. Or Howe and Garland. Or Howe and Grimes.
  3. Not sure but his locker must be next to Cotchins.
  4. Two things for next year. We need to move the ball quickly. We need to stop carelling(probably spelt wrong) and tackle. Stop them from disposing of the footy or put the disposal under pressure.
  5. Compare last night to today. North look bloody slow.
  6. Hoping to see Richmond choke again. When they yell "yellow and black" they think they're part of something special. I want them to know they're part of nothing. Go Kangas.
  7. Its posts like these that have me thinking I must be watching a different game."Perhaps he's not cut out for the type of football Roos demands", I'm not sure what you mean. Do you honestly think there is a club or coach out there that doesn't demand their players compete? I think the the whole outside player thing is dead. You're either inside or both. Examples being Rioli, Pendles, Salem, most of the Bulldogs list. Have you been watching the finals Ron? Everyone at some stage has had to put their head over the footy and win their own ball or compete in the air. When he tackles his opponent still gets the ball out. When clubs are doing opposition analysis his opponent will be told to get in his face and crunch him in the tackle. He will then go missing. If Watts is not traded this year I think next year will be his last in the game. If after three years under Roos he still refuses to compete he will be outcast. If traded he wouldn't get more than two years. By round six next year his new club will be regretting picking him up. And for those who still argue we didn't develop him properly, you are wrong. Was he played a year too early....yes. Was his whole development stuffed....no. He arrived at the club with great skills and footy smarts. They have improved, even if only 5-10%, but they have improved from being involved in an AFL club. Footy is cutthroat. He's not up to it. Should of stuck with basketball.
  8. Ralphus Maximus mentioned in the other thread he would go alright in a good team. I couldn't disagree more, in finals the pressure and pace of the game goes up a notch. Star players were making mistakes, inside and outside players at times had to win their own ball. The contest was fierce. Granted Watts is more talented then Frawley but he too would be shown up on the big stage. Watts - dropped twice during the year. Elite decision making/skills. Doesn't impact games at all. Grimes - dropped numerous times during the year. Decision making/skills not up to it. He does compete. Howe - most likely asked to be treated. Competes on his terms. Garland - decision making/skills not up to it. We have Frost and Oscar Mac. Competes on his terms. If we apply the "finals template" to those four it's easy to see why they all must go. Try and get something for Howe, the other three take whatever we can get. If you think we won't get much this year, it will be even less next year. Doors - A plodder, paid big $$ dollars to take marks/kick goals, struggles to do both. The Prince - doesn't get enough off it, doesn't do enough with it, ordinary disposal. Two highly overrated players. Unfortunately I think we are stuck with them. Both played in a premiership but the game has gone past them. Both didn't justify the money they're on. Doors would have to have a massive change of form to be re-singed. Even if fit he's not best 22 for mine. The club has indicated its taking a tough stand. I'm curious to what happens over the trade/draft period this year and next.
  9. Fell asleep on couch early in the 3rd(worked today, been a big week), wake up during the coaches press conferences....get stuffed.
  10. Kyle Cheney has been solid for the Hawks and Adelaide when given his chances.
  11. i wish it was Crows v Tigers and Dogs v North.
  12. And yet some on here today want certain players who have disappointed for years to remain on the list.
  13. Imagine if we had a key forward that could take a contested mark and a dangerous explosive small forward. Imagine if we moved the ball quickly.
  14. I think Clarko summed it up post match. "That's what the double chance is for and we we're off".Eagles were brilliant last night, allowing Priddis was out can the play any better. The Hawks were off and we all know how good they can be.
  15. Stupid question time....Who votes, players, coaches, both??
  16. I wouldn't be, simply apply the "how would he have gone last night" template and we have our answer.
