Out: Campbell
In Poo

King to play as back up ruck ala Daniher.
Continue with the Hammer experiment down back

Lost by a point so shouldn't be too shocked.

May consider Stocker for Shoemaker

If we get tier 1 (straight after our 1st round pick) then long term may be a win 2 top 5 picks and $800k by 6 years for a guy who has never been top 5 B & F and not top 40 AA is a lot.

It all depends on the size of the contract and length. They were saying on the radio this week that if it is 6 years and $800k then it would be , base don history , level 1 which is directly after the current first round pick. At this point in time that would be pick 5, so we get pick 4 and 5. Tough...

Team on the rebound after a weak performance - gee that has never happened before.... Haha

NO NO NO NO

The Kurt Tippett of this generation. Clubs infatuated with this 200cm athlete and the flashes of brilliance he shows every 5th week.
There is a reason he has more clubs than Tiger Woods.

The issue with the Covid draft is how much they missed not playing that season. Forget the number taken and expect an additional year or 2 to make assessments. If you didn't pay much for him I wouldn't mind. We are likely losing Ross, Crouch, Jones, all potentially end of this year, so for the right...

Great coaching strategy . on Paper they are much more talented than we are and yet through tactic and team effort were able to stifle them. Was it pretty no, but coaches don't get paid for being pretty they get paid for winning.

the longer it goes the more it appears Battle will test FA market and as is the way will get a greater offer from elsewhere. North and Hawthorn are 2 sides screaming for big defenders. If Battle wants to go to North and LDU genuinely wants to come to Stkilda surely something like Battle and 2nd rou...

In one way cannot believe it was only 4 weeks , in another knowing how neanderthal the NRL still is in many ways not surprised. I like NRL but they still think it is 1990s.Would have been at least 8 in AFL The big difference is the shoulder charge is an illegal act in NRL a smother isn't in AFL. The...

Out: Bonner ( just hand over the photos of RL you have and move on ), In: Crouch Ross the sub If King out then I'd go smaller with a Garcia or Phillipou type rather than replaying the Sharman movie we have seen before. Membrey , Cama and Owens as mobile bigger forwards - make it a harder match up fo...

Windy is a midfield tagger and not a HBF. Not sure why he wasn't on Reid from the start but great job in the second half to shut him down and win his win his own ball too. King looked better up the ground more . Makes him lead at the ball, Pity he got hurt as needs to get multiple games in a row. Hi...

Hey everyone… was thinking about this for some odd reason yesterday. I’ve been on this site for just under 25 years and I am far from the elder statesman here. In fact, might not even make the top 10 and there are a lot of other forumites that have come on since and contributed a lot over many many...

While the concept throw the magnets around and try to generate something new , especially through the midfield sounds great, if you don't have the points of difference or they aren't performing or ready then it is a useless exercise which causes more harm than good. As I see it Henry, Clark, Owens a...

I would go down the path, if they exist, of someone passed over int he draft in last couple years - perhaps for lack of physical development, injury or just weren't ready which has shown performance at a lower level and can get better. No recycled , delisted after 3 season players - not where we are...

I must say when i saw the side on Friday I was puzzled by the selections made and it played out that way on Sunday. Sharman was poor the week before and making him the sub makes no sense. It set him up not to succeed. It is clear we still haven't worked out the type of player who should be the sub, ...

5. Wilkie
4. Wood
3.Stocker
2. King
1. Steele

clearly there is specific things which players must improve on at Sandy because after watching Sunday surely Garcia should be in.
Crouch and even clark perhaps due to injury history need to build a fitness base?

Emerg to me should be
Bonner , Sharman, Jones , Paton
Sub either Ross or Collard

IF we ignore that a few are underdone and need to either come bank through Sandy or another week at Sandy , here is my guess: B: Stocker, Howard, Wilkie HB: Nas, Battle, Sinclair C:Wood, Crouch, Hill HF: Owens Membrey , Henry F Butler, King, Higgins Foll: Marshall, Steele, Windy INt: Clark, Wilson D...

in other news waters wet, sky blue. Dont need to read an article to know the headline here

Demon's bounce back as Saints woes worsen

Out: Bonner, Sharman, Jones, Collard, Paton, Poo

In: Higgins, Membrey, Clark, Stocker, Garcia, Ross/Crouch

If crouch is fit enough then in and Ross in 2s if needs another week then Ross in
Have option to bring him back as sub also .

Perhaps the fact our mids are struggling to win clearance and we played a very good midfield has something to do with this tactic. Without Crouch we lack clearance strength so to negate this perhaps this is the tactic which has been used.? I think it has everything to do with it and he is probably ...
