4 goals in the first 1/2, 9 goals in the second. I don’t remember much praise at the main break. Need to make the second half boldness the norm. I have no doubt that’s the plan and no one wants to play stagnant, boring footy but obviously the balance between attacking flare and defensive structure ...

Quick to tell others they have no idea, but for you to form that opinion you must have been watching a different game. Was likely his best game he’s played for the club.

Where did pick 4 and 5 come from? According to the AFL's rules, compensation can be one of 5 places • 1st round • end of 1st round • 2nd round • end of 2nd round • 3rd round Not two high 1st round picks https://www.afl.com.au/about-afl/free-agency We wouldn't be getting 2 x 1st round picks for Batt...

We are fools to let battle go. He is good and getting better. Why risk him for a high draft pick, it is moronic. Look at our last ten first round draft picks. How many of them are clearly better than battle. And I don’t mean played a few ok games or have potential. King, Clark coffield? Wilson is s...

Isn’t that what an inside bull does Outside of Dusty Are there any other inside bulls that are good kicks Cripps - no Danger - no DeGoey - yes Petracca - 50-50 Dunkley - no Oliver - no Yeo - 50-50 Tom Green - no If you wanted to hide poor kickers - inside mid is the place to do it. HB and outside m...

Given this thread started on 1 July, did anyone actually listen to what the Coach said post match, including that Owens and Sinclair were deployed to the midfield with Clark back Guess not Kind of my point. He doesn’t win enough ball to be a mid. I’ll stick my hand up and say I had no idea he was p...

Disappointing way it’s been viewed in the media as our president being a whinger. It’s not how I read the article at all. I thought he was measured and passionate at the same time.

Probably my most disappointing player this year only behind King. After Rd 2 I was as excited as anyone as to what this kid could produce this year. People keep saying, play him in the midfield. As if he’ll magically start getting 25 possessions a week. I actually reckon he’s more of a backman than ...

How many Schoenmakers do we have? Why is King out? Injured?? Out Wilson, Dow, Campbell In Phillipou, Ross, Garcia, Stocker Wilkie - Caminiti - Webster Nas - Battle - Sinclair Marshall - Phillipou - Windhager Hill - Steele - Henry Wood - King - Butler Higgins - Sharman - Owens Schoenmaker - Clark - ...

We doesn't want a contest

And doesn't want the ball

Wtf is wrong with him? He looks like his confidence is completely shot. Why though?

Just trots around

Absolute gun. Exactly what we need. Fast, tough and great skills

Tom Morris is a smug flog Plays for South Caulfield and is a wanker Claim to fame Scored a double hundred last season - against a bottom of the ladder team who were all on a bucks the night before South were 0/400 odd. Marshall is a required player! What other fkn ruckman do we have. LDU would be n...

Just another AFL journo making s*** up for a story! Some of these no hopers think they are the industry Truth be told, they are a bunch of wanker salesman who nobody likes! Why is it making up s***? Because you don't like what the journo has actually said? Have you actually read the article or just...

What about when we've underperformed and there's supposed to be a response from us? Other teams should fear us, but they don't. We should be fresh after the bye playing at home against a team badly out of form. Really, there's no excuses.

South Melbourne and Fitzroy were basket cases Fitzroy actually had a good team in the 80s But Doug Barwick, Matthew Armstrong, John Blakey, Tim Pekin, Gary Pert, Richard Osbourne, Matthew Dundas, Michael Gale, Paul Broderick, Scott McIvor, Darren Wheildon, Matt Rendell, Paul Roos And probably other...

Sometimes players just don’t work at clubs Grundy - Melbourne - never a good fit! Why WB recruited Lobb when they had Naughton, JUH, Darcy I’ll never know?! You trade for need - he was the last player they needed We on the other hand need a forward ruck - if Hayes is no good We may well need a fwd/...

Let me tell you, as a die hard, go every week with my family and sit on the fence watching the reserves, fanatic of the old Fitzroy FC, that my entire family of 6 no longer follows the Lions and could care less about them. It was a takeover and all mergers are and imo anyone who believes otherwise ...

If StK relocated (which I don’t want) I’d follow the jumper My allegiance is to the saints jumper - not the suburb If we we’re Moorabbin Saints, Frankston Saints, Sothern Saints, Bayside Saints - it would annoy me a bit - but not overly - Western Bulldogs are an example - I definitely could not fol...

That’s one person’s narrow view There are thousands of Ex Fitzroy supporters that follow Brisbane Harsh on Kevin Murray He’s possibley Fitzroy’s greatest ever player - for a die hard Roy fan to bag him out - strange It’d be like us bagging out Baldock Narrow view? Hopefully you never have to be in ...

I don’t think anyone on here can speak for South/Fitz people Kevin Murray loves Brisbane Lyons Bob Stilton loves the Sydney Swans To survive and keep their history- they had to relocate I haven't met a Fitzroy supporter thrilled with the merger or enthused by Brisbane. To them, their Footy team is ...

Happy for the kid but a big ask… tough circumstances Surely gets hipwood? Pretty cruiesy match up I would’ve thought given Eric has had his one good game for the season and should revert back woeful usual self. Not sure that’s how it works. Will be a huge ask of a first gamer, but if he’s going to ...

I don’t miss Billings I just acknowledge his achievements- which are by no means champion status - but also not disgraceful People want him to fail or refuse to accept he is ok to somehow justify getting rid of him? I am filthy we are paying him 250 000 to play at Melbourne Well I'd argue that they...

Unhappy supporters looking for scapegoats Hmm 🤔 Never seen that before?! I guess no one has a credible opinion but you It appears that B.M. is the lone voice defending Billings. Despite our poor season to date, not too many supporters miss him tbh. At 10 years in the system and at a very good salar...

It’s not about the forwards It’s about the method of moving the ball No, it’s both. Our tall forwards are completely out of form or in Caminiti’s case, still developing. Has our method changed that much since Rd2 when we kicked 15 goals? As a fwd, you simply have to be able to win contests. Our onl...
