What an embarrassing effort by our team and coach. I know a lot of people think Billy Longer is better than Hickey but I just don't get it. Every ruckman Longer plays against is always nearly best on ground and has a huge influence on the game. At least Hickey gets possessions, takes marks and is a ...

Hickey is a much better option than Longer. The game Longer played is the best he can do, Hickey's bad game is much better than Longer and his upside is really good. Yes he gets beaten in tap outs but so does Longer, however Hickey helps our mids when the ball hits the ground, takes crucial marks ar...

Wow, we have so many players who are terrible kicks, under pressure you can understand and hope they get better with experience but we miss targets by a long way when there is no pressure. Richo and the coaches should just focus on improving our kicking and tackling for the rest of the season.

Roo needs support, we must play 3 tall forwards. I know Maister was frustrating in the first 3 games and we were all calling for a change but I must admit I thought the change would be to replace him with Lee. Even though Lee hasn't been great I think either Maister or Lee need to come into the side...

I'm not sure why people are calling for Saunders to be dropped or rested, his skills are not fantastic but he was the only one other than Lenny to attack the ball and the opponent instead of just watching the Hawks players get the ball and run off with it. Our guys were like stunned rabbits in headl...

Gwilt has been terrible this year, he is toooooooo slow for the AFL, turns like the Queen Mary and falls too easily. His pace is the main issue, if he had some he wouldn't have to play on the big forwards, could run off and use his penetrating kick as a weapon. Unless he can reinvent himself somehow...

I get it Lefty, I feel exactly the same way, I was at the game today and feel crap. My post is based on the glass being half full, we shouldn't be where we are but that's the reality of it. We have to look forward, hopefully Richo can get a better performance more consistently from this years list b...

We are all very disappointed with todays effort. Our recruiting has been really terrible for many years but the last 2 years have been good. This years crop Dunstan, Billings and Acres should be elite players. Eli could join them. There is a good crop from the last year or so Newnes, Webster, Wright...

I am really surprised he won the best and fairest, he had a good year but not a great year. He would have come 4th at best in our B&F Steven, Roo and Monty had much better years than BJ had with the Bombers.

I was really impressed with Curren on the weekend, I haven't seen much of Sandy this season but he has really improved and stepped up to the next level, very hard at it and lots of second and third efforts. I'm looking forward to him been given a few senior games soon.

Its a shame he missed it, he has been our best player along with Roo all year. We wouldn't have been in a position to win without him. its just typical of the year we are having, we just don't take our chances.

It was really crap umpiring, game after game this season we have been disadvantaged by Umpiring, everyone says it evens up. Waiting.... Waiting....

Maister had to keep his feet in that contest, Roo played a fantastic game but the fumble and missed opportunity in the last was disappointing, Monty was super but the missed goal cost us dearly. I'm not quite sure what point I'm trying to make here its just disappointing that our effort was so good,...

How about our bloody President and coach and any one else in authority complain to the AFL about the umpiring. I'm sure the Collingwood Pres wouldn't be silent. I'm absolutely sick of the way we are treated by the bloody umpires.

I hope we get an opportunity to get Mitch Brown at seasons end. Since we were linked to him I have watched him carefully and he seems ok. He reads the ball well, is a strong defender and moves well for a big guy. In the game against the Tigers he made one very bad clanger but so did most of the Eagl...

Until today we have been competitive against the good teams but not good enough to win and put in really bad effort against teams we should be better than so we just cant bloody beat anyone. I hope the media start to put a bit of pressure on the club and Watters.

I hope you are right,would love to see Stanley forward in this game.

We should be under the pump this week, we were just terrible. The Bulldogs tried as hard as they could, and came away with an unlikely win. The worst part of the night for me was our effort was just terrible and when we did manage to get the ball in our hands our disposal and decision-making was the...

Such a disappointing performance, too many players are doing one good thing and 3 bad things, what makes it worse is the Crows aren't playing well at all. Saad, Milera and Milne have no impact, play Stanley forward next week from the start. Embarrassing performance.

We needed to run forward more and attack the goals, when we have the ball we slow the bloody game down and then turn it over. Sick of the turnovers but sick of the fact that we don't attack the game more. Very frustrating.

The Suns are a developing team but they will still finish bottom 4. We were just terrible on the night, poor skills and effort and poor coaching, Gilbert on Ablett in the last Quarter was always going to be a bad move, they just showed on Afl Insider how Gilbert was ball chasing and left Ablett at H...

Does anyone know why Simpkin isn't playing ????

Brendan played the same way for the Bombers as he did with us, he will struggle when he gets tagged, he will struggle in the mid field when they put him there. He's a good player but he's not worth between $700K and $800K per year, well done Saints for offering what we thought he was worth, not what...

He lleft because they gave him $800K per year for 4 years. Good luck to him and well done Saints for not matching it. He is worth $600 to $650K per year not $800K. My son had number 18 on his jumper, its sad to see him go but he really struggled to win his own ball, was easily tagged out of the game...

I think Jayden Post would be a good option for us, he moves well for a big guy and will fill a need as a key back and wont be expensive.
