Re: Tony74
Here's one for you Tony 74, just watched Ross on Talking Footy. He is very good. We are in good hands. Just need the players to do their bit. Not the reliable stalwarts, the peripherals. (Do you think they can). We may not make finals but we will end up with a new group of new young guns, which wil...

Re: Changes for tge Richmond at Gather Round.
I thought our forward line was cr@p last week, Higgo got a few but jeez over four quarters, they just didn't seem to work together at all. I'm not sure how moving Sharman all over the ground to plug gaps, is going to help his development. I would bring Campbell in just for extra body strength to get...

Re: Sandy V Essendon
I remember in a game when Ratts was coach, he swung Battle into the ruck and had an immediate impact. I don't think Owen is a second ruck or a midfielder, and I don't know what his best position is. Roma is good around the ground, but doesn't hit his midfielders on the chest very often in his tap wo...

Re: Cooked
Neither of our two big deficiencies have looked like being addressed from last season- not kicking big enough scores, and a weak midfield..the midfield having largely been responsible for our two losses. Doesn't mater what you lose by, we lost two out of three games, and need to pick up the pace a l...

Re: Half back our achille's heel again ...
Yesterday, and in the Geelong game, the defensive game of the forwards and midfield was poor. The work off the ball was weak, as was the tackling. Lot of work to do.

Re: Crouch out over 1 month - Knee
Crouch was proppy going into the Geelong game, and it cost us in the midfield, and may have just cost us the game. Hope he gets over the knee ok- a good opportunity for others to step in.

Re: Arie Schoenmaker to debut?
Hope Max gets off with a fine. As far as Arie goes, one good game in the twos doesn't guarantee you much, surely he needs to string a few good games together before considered for senior selection. If Butler is fit enough, he would come in for Henry, and if Max does sit it out for a week, then I wou...

Re: Round 2 - Saints be Pies - Match Day thread
The midfield is stop and prop once they lose possession. Windy is trying hard, but none of the midfield is controlling the ball. The forward line is all over the shop- playing from behind, out of position. We have two strong marks in King and Membrey who won't play in front for some reason, trying t...

Re: Roma
Hit outs are some what overrated. That said how many complete ruckmen are there in the league- centre square , around the ground and possessions. Considering there are on average maybe 25-30 centre sq ball ups it is a trade off to some extent and he wins some of these, so say it is 10 v 20 but Roma...

Re: Phillipou
Pou is a talented, motivated young fella, and the club just needs to make sure they use his skills correctly so he can develop. I think midfield experiment isn't working, but keep trying guys.

Re: Worst possible start to the season we were all fearing...
A reasonable effort, but still it's a loss and we looked sloppy in skills, midfield largely flogged, but then Geelong were just a little bit more sure in their ball handling. A pity Dempsey got two pretty easy goals by standing by himself, not sure who is opponent was, maybe Wood? Disappointed that ...

Re: Phillipou
Pou is a way off yet, but will build and is not a midfielder. A talented young player who should be developed in the forward half and some of this should be done at Sandy. The game was lost in the coach's box the other night.

Re: Team structure was warped IMO
Yeah we look unbalanced last night, and moving Sharman around was pointless- he is a forward as is Pou who is not a natural midfielder. When you have a losing midfield, then it's hard for forwards really take on the game.

Re: I would like everyone's honest opinion
Probably not- our midfield is too slow, and if we can't get any drive from our half back line, we will lose.
