Fagan definitely has some excellent attributes. He seems very down to earth and not egocentric, like some other AFL coaches.
Lyon could learn off hm.

I'm happy for the Lions but especially for Chris Fagan. He seems a genuinely good person and had to do it the hard way, without playing in the AFL, only the Tasmanian League. He had plenty of knockers but stuck firm. They were unlucky to lose last year and got some crap umpiring decisions against Co...

They need to find Denis Pagan to present the winning coach the Cup together with Andrews & Neale.
Such a hyped up tosser is Brian Taylor.

Perhaps Saint Kid should put his alliance with the Kennet’s - including thru their upcoming Court case they have tried to bury Battle does not wish to remain with St Kilda St Kilda is therefore better off without him We want committed players who stand on support of the Club and their teammates Whi...

Predicted it months ago.

We've already been screwed by Battle leaving.

Regardless of the offer, this is why we are a dumb club. Battle is a hard-bodied, strong defender, in his prime with no past serious injury history. They have targetted well and have a player that is likely to give several excellent years to them. He is a better player than Howard and they have made...

Totally agree about Bonner. Playing him for several games this season has thwarted the development of another young player with promise. Dare I say he even cost the team in some of the close games. This aspect of Lyon's thinking with Bonner continually getting a game I just don't understand at all a...

As I said in the game thread, Byrnes is a good player whose inclusion makes the team better and he still has upside.

That would still have been a hurtful loss the way the game panned out, so I am glad we won even though it will cost us an earlier draft pick. a draft pick 2 higher which doesn’t always mean a better player (Philipou vs Tsatsis anyone) True tony74 that's why I am happier with the win and avoiding en...

Honestly, can the credibility of the umpiring get any worse? There is no consistency at all in the decisions made, with 'russian roulette' decisions being made out that defy comprehension on so many occasions. The AFL have a huge problem in the way they have invested and trained umpires and if this ...

F**k you AFL!!

Seriously this game is so corrupt. Where is the consistency in the umpiring??

That was pathetic Dow!

He is an out and out champion though. Wish we had a midfielder like him.

Every time I see Acres play well, I keep getting reminded of how much damage that moron Lethlean did to the club on top of the incomprehensible Hannebery debacle.

Charity 50 to them but Byrnesy you little beauty!

It was brilliant. Resulted in a goal. Love seeing that!

Should have been another 2 goals up. Blind Freddie can see why the coaching staff like Burns. He plays with heaps of desperation and heart and his skills are not that bad. Has more heart in one finger than Billings ever had in his whole body. Keep finding and playing players like that, as Hawthorn h...

I like Burns too. He's a keeper. Take note Curly...

He looks great out there today. He and Wilson have something special about them.

That first play where he won the ball in a contest, dished it out, got it back under pressure and passed it to a marking forward (Hill maybe? Can’t quite remember)… just sublime. I was a little facetious giving him a vote… but I reckon he was the match winner for us when he came on. Needs to come i...

Garcia easily picked up the pace of that game in that pressure-filled 4th quarter. He is going to be a gun together with Wilson. He goes at the ball unlike Paddy Dow who just seems to stand there and watch his opponent get it. He just seems to lack energy at the ball. Agree about Dow. That's why th...
