Some of our work with Richmond in recent times has been atrocious. How about these gems, Robert Powell, Danny Ryan, Aaron Fiora, Dean Polo, Adam Pattison. Picking up discards from other clubs rarely does you any good. Generally they have flaws and there is a reason clubs try and offload them. When i...

Reports coming out tonight that Freeman has had another setback and won't play for another 1-2 weeks. The club is relieved that it is not as bad as first thought. I'm absolutely bullish about this bloke and was happy to part with this years 2nd round pick for him. I hope this is not a sign of things...

Link please

Was there as a 10 and a half year old on the outer wing to the right of the cheersquad with the old man and a few of his mates. They would have consumed quite a few beers throughout the day and were quite vocal. Can remember the day vividly, we came back for the game from Gafferney's Creek up bush. ...

The McEvoy trade was a very smart move by both clubs. Hawthorn desperately wanted someone to release Hale forward. We had Hickey coming through, the big problem we could have run into is whilst rebuilding McEvoy would have become a free agent, we would of then run the risk of loosing him for stuff a...

The AFL need to arrange for Eddie to be drug tested or get his head checked. I'm not fan at all, you would have situation's down the track of teams who are around about the 10-11th best team (possibly us) or in a rebuilding stage trying to "list manage" at about round 12-13 realising a pre...

I stand corrected, it was 2000 he kicked 9. I was at that game but certainly didn't realise it was 2000. The 1999 game Ben Walton and I think trianidis had big last qtrs. We were a long way down and it was a super win

My memory can be hazy at times but I'll bring up a couple of left field games from 1992 to 2003 that people may have forgotten about. 1992 - Rd 12 Saints 10.17.77 vs Pies 11.10.76 huge Queens birthday crowd remembered for a half time brawl time and the infamous Ken Sheldon spray to Devenport. He end...

I wouldn't worry too much about Brucey's form. He copped a nasty injury late in the Hawthorn game mid season from a knee to the back by Gibson with a heavy landing. It restricted him for the remainder of the year, some weeks he had more mobility than others. It was a credit to him that he was able t...

I've always disliked Essendon. They are my number 1 team even before the peptides scandal. Probably years of being belted by Sheedy teams hasn't helped. Carlton I disliked but did respect them despite the cheating. Now they are amusing. Can't stand Nth Melb, supporters annoy me, Brad Scott esp after...

Pretty happy this bloke is coming on board. Well done to the club.
I can see him ending up as a cult figure a bit like Fraser Gehrig. A new breed of carpet snake, Jake the Snake Carlisle. Hopefully we can facilitate a trade without giving away pick 5

Hawks lose first final and bounce back to win the flag
Dockers loose by less than a goal to hawks in home prelim, lions sack Leppitsch and sign Ross Lyon

I'm all for the home made flag idea. I think at times our flags etc in comparison to other supporter groups are a little sterile. I'm not sure of all the rules and permutations around that but if you look at Hawthorn, Collingwood, Richmond in fact most clubs they have banners supporting particular p...

A player we might look at is Lachie Plowman from GWS. Top 10 draft pick that was a backman, had a couple of seasons ruined by injury. GWS is a gold mine right now with quite a few elite talents not getting games at the moment. Similar to Josh Bruce quality will drop of that list.

I am a massive buyer of this bloke and have been for some time as my old man knows. He will be an elite player for us. A number of times I saw him rove to Longer today, that is the future right there. That combination is going to be vital moving forward. Ross has the ability to see things that many ...

I have been a very big fan of Schneider's over the years he has been at the club. He has a superb football brain. I'm of the view his foot skills have dropped slightly due to the hamstring injuries he has had over the years and playing through the midfield now. Junior has summed up Schneider's seas...

Going into Saturdays game Schneider was fifth in our team for contested possession, second in score assists, fifth in score involvements, fourth in clearances. He was also seventh in disposal efficiency, and of our midfielders he was second only to McKenzie and was disposing of the ball 6.8% better...

This pension off the old players conversation that seems to happening quite a lot is absurd. Our focus this early in the season should be to win games of football. We need a carrot for the old types Roo, Fish, Montagna etc to be out there and performing. Sure, we wont be playing finals for quite a w...

They had no idea that he is of German heritage. Hilarious!

Discussed with a couple of others should we head to the mail exchange for cheaper beers and a look at the horses. Decided we'd stick on as might see a few young players show something. Didn't expect that much! Thought we were going to throw it away when we started keepings off with 2 mins 50 still l...

End of the game one of their supporters sooked it up and headbutted my old man. Police were quick to move then thankfully as it could have turned nasty. So you don't call some random boofhead headbutting your old man nasty? They must breed them tough out your way aaron! :D From my experience, quiet...
