Looks similar to Sharman...
But also looks like
1. they dont think Camniti is ready
2. are not confident that Membrey will be back
3. have a different role in mind for Owens, rather than 3rd tall forard

A while after this post Thoughts now??? IMO as it stands Out Gresham - Essendon Pick 31 - Essendon Coffield - Western Bulldogs Billings - Carlton Pick 13 (From Essendon) Clark - North Melbourne Bytel - Delisted Adams - Delisted Highmore - Delisted Connolly - Delisted Campbell - Retired Peris - Deli...

Do we think other clubs are stupid? Bombers getting Gresham for no draft capital, and then getting Shiel off their books and picking up a mid-latish pick for good measure Why would they be stupid to do that? Shiel is 31 next season and they have a bunch of midfielders who they want to play, e.g. Ho...

People saying no to this deal do not seem to understand it... If approved by the AFL and agreed by Essendon, then the deal is St. kilda: Out: Gresham, Pick 50 In: Pick 13, Shiel Essendon: Out: Shiel and his high salary In: Gresham + pick 50 The pick 13 is created by free agency. So it looks to me li...

You got to love how the AFL controlled footy media spin the whole, "the competition has never been more even" line. For those that needed it, surely now with the benefit of hindsight, even the most misty eyed fan would agree our position in the finals was fraudulent. A snow flakes chance ...

If Acres put in that performance for us last week, replacing Caminiti in the side. we would have won. He was influential in Carlton´s win, he just keeps running up and down the ground But the worst part is that we are supposedly going to trade in James Jordon, who had a similar psuedo midfielder rol...

It's still early, Dockers saying they want 12 is no surprise and they won't expect to get that. In effect it's just saying that Pick 25 isn't good enough and we need to trade up to get the trade done. Everyone in the AFL including the Dockers knows that Henry is not worth pick 12 and that they will...

Anyone else think we went in against Brisbane with too many talls? The game changed when a running player, Byrnes, came on for Battle. We had Cordy Wilkie, Battle down back, with Hayes, Membrey Sharman as the tall forwards. But we also have Owens and the Pou who are hybrid forwards who compete in th...

I think went in to this game with 1 tall too many. When Byrnes came on, a hard running midfielder, the game changed. We were outnumbered around the ball in the first half.. We have 2 hybrid tall mid/3rd tall forwards who compete in the air in Owens and the Pou. Having Sharman + Hayes+Membreyas well ...

Dont know what game you were watching. His introduction was crucial in our 3rd quarter turnaround.. He was outstanding in that quarter, turning the game in our favour.

Would personally replace Ross with Paton for the Brisbane game.

Charlie Cameron is their most dangerous forward. Paton will keep him to 2 goals or less. Without Paton, he may get off the chain like Breust did a couple weeks ago,.
Move Windy up the ground to cover Ross

He is in the champion data all Australian team after Round 16... alongside some pretty good company..:

He has been very good, and yesterday he was very composed and involved. It was amusing seeing him standing near Sinclair at one point. Sincs has massive calves, while Nas has twigs! Re Stocker, interestingly Ross wasn't too complimentary about him in the press conference! RTB surprised me on that t...

And as to be expected King looks like taking closer to 20 weeks for rehab. The average is 16 to 20 weeks for his type of injury. Good on those who got sucked into the hyperbole from the membership department and thought he'd be back by R1 to R4, or even R7. After the bye I reckon is a possibility. ...

Great to see NWM getting votes from both coaches.

Flying under the radar a bit given the impact of Owens and attention on Pou, but is starting to look like a real star already

Not even a dangerous tackle Howard purposely hit his head on the ground trying to draw a free kick Good tackle well that is just parroting what the commentators said (was it BT??) but I think it is bulls***. How would you know if he did it on purpose?? I have no idea what Howard was thinking but to...

Maybe Buts had more pressure acts?

watch the video "all the goals" ... and you will see how many goals Butler was directly involved in (as well as the 3 he kicked himself)

Taking nothing away from Seb who was fantastic, but Butler had a great game

A number of things have contributed, Not only Ross but the coaching team e.g. if Ross went to Carlton, he would not have had Enright, Hayes and Harvey as assistants, yet he attributes the game plan to them Another thing is our top 5 players so far have been: 1.

Agreed.. Bytel should have been subbed on much earlier.

Bytel should have come on in the 3rd when we were getting smashed in the midfield
