Negatives
Kicking for goal was pretty poor
Delivery into the forward 50 was terrrrrible.
Defensive structure was a bit out of whack

At one stage, 5 of their 10 goals came from free kicks.
Ignoring the interchange one, AS I RECALL, 4 veeerrryyy dubious free kicks. In such a close game, you can't say they didn't have an influence.

Just had a look at riewoldt vs top 8 sides this year, 4 goals in 7 games. 5 games of zero goals. Far more damning ratio than Milnes. Also, only seven of our 17 games this year have been against currently bottom 8 sides, only about 40%. His ratio is about where you'd expect it to be. Hopefully the % ...

Compare Milne with the like player from each of the other clubs. Starting with tonight and 27 for Geelong. 27 is their small forward and he was constantly dangerous including going into the centre square. Then try Davey, Rioli, Krakouer and the list goes on and on. Milne is past it by a generation ...

Would you be frustrated at watching the style of play if, say, Blake didnt screw with about a minute left, or if that free kick hadnt gone against Dempster with about 30 seconds left, leaving us with a win? Frankly, I'm more annoyed with -Goal kicking accuracy -Sklls in general -And the fact that WE...

5 Dawson - Very solid down back
4 Dal Santo
3 Hayes
2 Clarke
1 Mcevoy - For our only ruckman, did ok around the ground.

In all seriousness, i'm somehow related to Ryan Gamble.
Gradfathers brothers grandson, or something like that.
Relevance = 0.
He's a hadny player.
Out of all the discrded players, he's the one I was hoping would fall to the saints.

The thing with Bruce is that yes, he is a decent player.
Was very good a few years ago.
But these days, he CANNOT KICK. Has terrible disposal.
We seriously can't afford to have him in the team.

Skipper very stiff. Considering hale couldnt even get a game at the kangas, if he turns out to be rubbish, no backup. then its back to the ruck HODGEY. And i've heard that Beau dowler has been playing vfl reserves a lot this year, high pick or not he just dosnt cut it. i wouldnt mind getting moss, e...

Melbourne will keep cam bruce, but he was a saints fan I heard recently, he is a beautiful kick and a goal scorer. if you got him it would be a bit of a score for us. Brad Miller I'm not so sure about he is more of a risk. Only 6.7 for the year, and there is no way he's a lovely kick, delivers way ...

Dale Thomas a little too high at 9 for now. James Kelly at 20. Brady Rawlings at 22. All of the above higher than Pavlich. Kieran Jack at 30 after, what, 4 good games? Richard Douglas at 37, higher than Mitchell, Griffen, S.Johnson. http://www.threadbombing.com/data/media/2/Rachel_Riley_GTFO.gif th...

so as much as i actually want to, might not be able to come.
Would there be any other forum matches in the future? say, before 2010 ends?

Grand Finals are the real test of players and unfortunately, Roo let himself down in conditions which should have suited him. He got beaten in one-on-one contests, so he needs to work on that part of his game over summer, as he is not in the same league as Carey, Brown and a few other great CHFs. H...

i'll try and come.

ablett, ablett, ablett.
But, anyone for buddy?
X FACTOR.

i'd liek to see winmar get a couple of games.
I hear he can actually hit a target, and oh god do we need that.

who coudl we put on the trade table?
mcqualter? peake? eddy, dempster?
would any of them MAYBE warrant a 2nd round pick?
3rd round?
4th?
set of steak knives?

i watched at aami park, saw it out.
i'd say it was 70% pies fans.
I had high hopes at half time thouh, Tried to find a pass out, asked around, failed. Probably for teh best.

5. Gwilt
4. Goddard
3. Hayes
2. Fisher
1. Dawson. i suppose cloke didnt do much.

mcevoy was ok, some good marks. smashed in the hit outs though.

5. Goddard
4. Lenny
3. FISHER. We wouldve been down by about 50 at half time if not for sammy.
2. Dempster.
1. kosi. very good effort to be our #1 ruck for the half, with jolly being rather handy.

gilbert-dawson-gwilt also nice.

When they don't get the free, ablett and selwood, how much do they appeal to the umps? Even, like in that ablett vs goddard contest, while the play is still going. Annoying as hell.
