Re: 3 veterans are done

Interestingly enough… it’s reportedly suggested in the news (according to FB) that North are showing interest in Membrey and Ross to bolster their leadership/experience. Very very happy to deal Membrey would be good for them actually Ross too - excellent leadership, durability, low kms …sign here C...

Re: saints interested in players already

If Stengle can kick with his non preferred he's an upgrade on Higgins playing deep forward. He's worth the money in my book. Higgins can impact up the ground as a high half forward and Stengle can stay closer to goal. We have to try and bring in A grade quality and he's still quite young. It pains ...

Re: Team v Lions

Not great news about Nas, hope everything turns out ok Surprised about Jones. Obviously didn’t want to go interstate too young. Crouch is cooked I reckon Sub Jones, Sharman, Ross or Wilson Probably Zak Shyte coaching Good coaches fix player family issues with a click of their magic fingers… Poor Lyon

He was their most dangerous forward- that much was obvious Let's be clear, there is nothing obvious about that performance. 1 goal from their most dangerous forward...Explains why they struggled to score for most of the match.

Re: 3 veterans are done

You cannot just have a clear out and go to the draft needing 6 or 7 players. Then you end up with picks in the 70s and 80s who you have to give 2 year contracts to and whose chance of ever being good enough to become a regular AFL player is about 1 in 20. You can bring in a bunch of 26/27 year old ...

Re: RTB finger on the pulse

There's those of us who believe the overall strength of the side more than makes up for the lack of one or two A grade midfielders. Steele almost won the Brownlow, so he's definitely A grade. Then theres Clark, Dow, Windhager (who can shut down a Naicos) ... and we have strengths in other areas of ...

Re: RTB finger on the pulse

RTB takes his finger off the pulse more often than not, then, judging by our wins vs losses. We have talented players like Hill, Wilkie, Battle, Nas, Clark, King, Wood, Sinclair, Windhager, Steele ... when the wins come, they are largely as a result of the abilities and efforts of these players.

Re: RTB finger on the pulse

Re: Changes at end of the year

I read today that Hawthorn are right in to Battle, but he has strong relationships at St Kilda. So it would appear the only way we lose him is if we try to low-ball him. Apparently been offered 800 over 6 by club That’s a good deal If Hawks want to go stupid then ok it’s on them and if that trigger...

Re: Two Prong Attacks?

A gun midfield is much more important than a "two prong attack". A gun midfield makes an average defense and offence so much better. Like someone said earlier, Pies won with no gun forward. The Dees won with Ben Brown. Geelong had a dynasty with an elite midfield making guys like Hawkins,...

Sometimes the hatred is so ingrained the person is not capable of seeing what the reality is.

We get the entries but they're mostly wasted long and deep that opposition know is coming and get setup to rebound out. If we clean up entries to hit targets, I'd suggest another 12-15 controlled 30-35m looks a game. If those shots are at 50%, there is the 100 points and we're lauding Ross the atta...
