I still don't like Roo at FF...its such a waste of talent and his conversion ratio will never be wonderful. Play him at FF only when injured or resting. Gwilt could be potential. Goddard and Sam Fisher could do it but may be beter where they are. Here's an idea that was suggested to me...rest Steven...

Milney can be frustrating and undisciplined at times. It's a love/hate relationship, but he gets the goals, lifts the team, and has been responsible for team wins off his own boot. The nature of his game means that at times he is going to look very ordinary, but he often shows flair when we dont hav...

read AGE sport today for RL's comments about Kosi, Gram, Fisher, Montagna, BAll, Hayes, etc. Kosi wont be traded and best is yet to come.

Also, read Age today re Dal SAnto's health which goes a long way to explaining his recent form.

We still have time to peak and win the remaining games that count, and all at the right end of the season....No team can stand up and peak for 22 rounds...we didi win the early games and the NAB cup... Perhaps RL has a master plan...convince everyone that we are no good and then we miraculously come...

""our best is better than all three. our worst is worse than all three. we nearly pinched the game last night in 15 minutes, that how good our best is. we smashed the no.2 side in the competition in 50 minutes of football and we scared the no.1 and no3 sides with 30 minutes of football. th...

If Fraser was any remote chance fitness- wise, surely he would have been playing for Casey by now to get into form.

Not sure why the knives are out so quickly for Steven King. He has played some good games for us this season, kicked some nice goals, taken marks, and given off good handballs. I remember several games where we have we have won the ball out of the centre with Kings good tap outs. Hell, he was good e...

""All FF's are only as good as the delivery , which in recent times has been poor at best"" YUP...all the more reason for not giving the G train another go just yet. Aside from the fact that he hasnt played a game for a long time, he is going to look as ordinary, or worse than, a...

""It's the people who watch every game on TV that wreck this forum"" yes, there is no substitute for being at a game. Example...watching Milne playing for Casey the week he got dropped. It wasnt a comfortable track like the Dome. He got down and dirty, ran all day, was geeing up ...

Good Question Winmarvellous!

I was there...and didnt see anyone near Davis whenever he had the ball, which was far too often. We even kicked the ball straight to him out of defence.

Davis tore us apart and won the game on his own I thought.

"Milne's effort was selfish & very ordinary." fair enough...wasn't his best game, but he did put goals on the board and we didnt have enough players capable last night to contribute in that dept. he also spent time at FF where I think it's just stupid to play him, have you ever stood b...

Great Work! Thanks!

I know we are in trouble when one of our players is retiring uninjured and polling more votes than most of his team mates.

I thought 13 and 44 stood up tonight. 44 was stiff to get pinged on that run in for goal...I thought it was a too high tackle. Schneider played ok and kicked a nice pass early in the game to Roo I think it was... Both kicked goals as well, incl another boundary line "miracle" from Milne wh...

Yes. That first sentence in the quote I posted should have been omitted.

I feel I have to stand up for KING and Blake here. Both have played some great games this year. King has kicked goals and set up goals and has been very good in the ruck at times. he has been a reiable mark as well. I think King is a gift pickup who has given us value. Blake featured in our best pla...

""We are undersized in defence and that is wht he has gone back. I think he could be a useful forward flanker as he had good body size, speed and skills. Confidence and expereince is all he needs."" I agree. I previously held no hope for him, however, he has improved vastly in th...

It's a pity Davis wasn't in the car

I dont like Roo up at full fwd, unless he is injured.. I dont like Gwilt down back..even though he played pretty well there tonight. Thought Blake and or Gwilt might have been a good choice up fwd tonight.. The pundits predicted we would have trouble up fwd and they were right. We really fell down i...

Great thread guys. Any comments about Ferguson? Is he going to make the grade? RL must think so . He didnt have a great game in the ones, but he had me wanting to see more of him. From what I saw last week, J Gwilt just might become a gun...if kept out of defence and playing up fwd.. Finally began t...

We will probably make the trip..
