Structural change option

Clearly our forward line isn't working and King and Membrey are a little way off at the moment. This week i think either one of Battle or Howard need to play forward -Probably Battle as more easier to replace in the back line than Howard due to size. If Battle was to play forward could bring in eith...

Re: Ross's Presser

Loved it, honest and direct. He clearly came in knowing where the list was at , however is also well aware of the expectation from members and fans and the inflation of ability that us mugs in the stands have at times about players. interesting comments were: Jones still learning the game plan going...

Re: Line up this week,

Clark should have walked straight into the starting line-up Why is one of our better players named as a emergency Didn't do enough at Sandy against Casey, a couple of nice things and showed his skills, but the Casey onballers ran off him pretty easily. I get the feeling that Lyon wants fit, hard ru...

Re: Bytel

Very much a like for like strategy used by Lyon - Hence Peris in to replace small forward Billings despite not being the next best footballer at Sandy.

As pointed out behind Ross, Crouch, Steele and WIndy as inside mid.
Future maybe marked or perhaps dependent on what Ross does next season.

Re: Billings

Another injury makes it interesting as potentially his contract value drops, and the possibility now exists to keep him on lower than would have otherwise had to pay due to injuries over the past years, as trade value also droped. My gut is RL has a line through him, but a good last 4 weeks who know...

Re: Our 2022 draftees

Thanks for the summary. Keeler, Hotton and Peris would be well served playing in a team that was looking out for them. My observations from seeing 1 game of VFL this year is that it's a bit "every man for himself". Would that be accurate? Why we need to take over control of this side . Wh...

Line up this week,

Unfortunately the outs are easy due to injury: - King, Ross, Cordy the fitness of this out form last week is the big ? Battle (if passes protocol) comes in for Cordy Hill and Higgins if fit need to come in. Will change the balance however but could push Wood to high half forward. Phillipou could per...

Re: The run home

If they can maintain the game style they played last night St Kilda are a strong chance to win the next 4 matches which would secure a top 8 spot. It's interesting to note that St Kilda won more games earlier in the season while Max King was unavailable than since he's come back into the side, whic...

Re: Windhager and protected area

4 umpires means last year each game 1 wasn't good enough. last nighty number 1 was appalling and got bailed out by out of zone umpires on multiple occasions including Owens high tackle after the poor handball in the square.

Re: Returneess - What did you make of.....

Funny how Billings misses a goal and gets criticism, yet should never had been given the ball there off balance and Steele should have taken responsibility and kicked it as running straight at goal. Solid return for first game for a very long time. Not a superstar and never will be but a HF who aver...

My thoughts on Oliver, without any information or anything to back it up, other than suspicion. Does anyone else think this is a suspension type lay off? The kind that can come from a higher power.
