I'm not worried at all. Max did an excellent job against the Bulldogs last week (including on nimble guys like Brad Johnson) and in the finals we may play them again. We're also likely to play Geelong. They'll probably have Ottens up forward (with Zac on him), leaving Max to play on Mooney, Hawkins,...

Re: Last night shows MCG will not be a worry.
I actually think after watching last nights game we will be better on the larger grounds than the smaller grounds unlike the general consensus. Here's why.. on the larger grounds there is more space so when the zone is set up in the opposition coming out of attack there is more room to run to for t...

whats wrong with having a defender on the bench? Indeed. A very good question. Blake could play off the bench and pinch-hit in any position he was required. Zac could also be thrown forward at times. Maxie had a bit of a shocker, but he's been the rock in our backline for 10+ years. I seriously hop...

As for Smith, I think there is something about him that could see him become a handy player, he has an air of confidence and determination about him, similar to what you see with Goddard and Hayes. IMO this bloke will get the absolute best out of himself, I just hope he has the talent to match the ...

however his form for sandy didn't warrant it, apparently, and he has been playing mainly down back for the zebras. Did Jimmy's form for Sandy warrant a recall? I saw the televised Sandy game a couple of weeks ago and he was abysmal. From what I saw he had about 2 touches. Goose may have turned the ...

I have no doubt that RL is already resting players. Check out last Sunday's stats Nearly all our midfielders only played around 70-75% game time. If he can keep that sort of heavy rotation up, by the time the finals come around blokes like Lenny will have only played 4 of the last 6 games. It is mu...

Great, players potentially dropping out of form, loss of momentum, upsetting the team balance...yeah, just what we need. I'd be happier if all the resting forumites took a long spell from this forum...how many 'resting' threads do we need. We've seen your point about 50 times, it's narrow minded cr...

I'm not sure Goose has being as good in the seconds as people tend to think. I've only seen a couple but there seems to be good games mixed with average. I was going through some old papers recently and found an interview with Corey McKernan, after he spent most of his last year in the twos. He was...

As I said on a previous post (which included this article of Crawford's), balance is the key. It's no good having 22 blokes who know each other backwards who are all exhausted/carrying injuries and it's also no good having 22 blokes who are fully fit and fresh who don't know each other from Adam. I...

In regards to KB, don't agree. Once the umpire has called play on and you move OFF your mark, you are back in the live action of the game. I remember milne being caught against geelong a split second after the umpire called play on. Obviously milne did not know he was there. So should the player ge...

I second, third and fourth those comments. Usually when something reportable happens (especially something so obvious) you know immediately they may be in trouble. Who even considered that he may be in trouble, when it happened? The ball was going right past him at the time and it seemed like a grea...

Whichever way they train, it's fair to say that there's not much point in our guys busting-a-gut all over the ground in a match, only for it to go forward frequently and have someone kick a point, from a relatively easy shot. Not when there are 6 points on offer. Having 478 possesions, 145 marks and...

Indeed. I remember Greg Norman (I think it was) saying that when he's hitting a drive, or a long shot, he's aiming at like a tree trunk, or a post, or something like that, way off in the distance, on the line he wants to hit it. Often that target would be way past where he wanted his ball to actual...
