Kerr is in doubt ZA. I think Milne will get Selwood, Schneider will hopefully lift if Milne cops close attention. You'd think Dempster would get Le Cras, can follow him into the midfield if he attempts to shake his tag that way. Zac would get Kennedy wouldn't he? Dempster to Embley and Jones to Ker...

Zac Attack I reckon Gwilt will go to Darling and Dawson to Kennedy. Gilbert has gone to Lecras in the past, I reckon he will go there again. Ross will be doing everything in his power to free up Fisher to play loose.

If Kosi plays and that should be a huge if then Lynch must go. Surely we need runners so Polo should stay and Gram has done pretty well over the last few weeks even though some people fail to see it. I will be really dissaoppinted if Lynch gets dropped, how can he get any confidence if he isn't giv...

We played our best footy from round 1 - 14 (thereabouts) in 2009. It was manic, Filth like. What is our average goals between that time? I think that will be telling. Maybe we just had a stellar pre season that year and were a step above all other teams then came back to the pack. It seems like we h...

I'd be very disappointed if Sippa doesn't get at least another 2 games this year. Depends how bad his shin splints are. I use to get them from doing a lot of running. I got past them in the end. Stretching, icing and different runners and of course rest do the trick. He doesn't want to get them any...

17 goals is great but lucky we kicked straight cos 24 shots at goal with 55 odd inside 50's is poor. Could have easily been 12.12

At one stage we were leading the inside 50's 17-1

Love these threads. We have won 5 out of 7 and people saying Armo should be in the middle. Seems a great coincidence that as soon as he has been replaced that our midfield has improved. Armo may look like a good mid but doesnt spread well or have any defensive skills apart from his tackling. Steven...

But back on topic. How do you stop manic. In the old days you could soften up the young and the quick with a bit of old physicality to knock the enthusiasm out of a player but that tactic is hard to get away with these days. So how do you conter manic play because I reckon that is the Pies strength...

Is it just me, or has Jack's improvement coincided with Armo's slump in form? As Steven has gotten better by the week, Armo seems to have gone backwards. Of course, because since Steven has gone into the middle, Ross and co. have pretty much refused to play Armo in there, despite him being far bett...

I get the feeling that the evidence from our players won't be the determining factor, in the end, it sounds like none of our players were even in the apartment at the time, the biggest component is what happened in a bedroom which only 2 people were in at the time. Our players can comment on how th...

Raph is a guy I've really wanted to see prosper, he's exactly what we need. An outside runner. For me though, his confidence looks shot and to be honest, it has been for the majority of his career. Truth is I can't hardly remember him doing 'great things' cos I'm so use to him fumbling about, gettin...

I actually reckon Armo is the perfect sub type player. When fresh he hits contests hard and lays bone crushing tackles. He seems to tire quickly though and drift out of the game. I reckon playing him as a sub was a good move. I think he's good for a full game, it just requires the right balance. As...
