Agree with most but what about newnes? He mAy get the ball alot but he isn't damaging in the slightest. Long could also be dropped. Bottom line is almost half the team could go down.

It's highly unlikely to happen, but I'd be going with six changes this week. One forced change, four guys need to rediscover their form in the VFL, and one player needs to be reminded he's not an automatic selection. In : Webster, Acres, McKenzie, Paton, White, Clark Out : Geary, Sinclair, Young, C...

I have a theory. After Lonie went down with that knee, then Gears had the corkie, our guys have realised that fierce contact carries much greater risks, and in the back of their minds, they want to minimise the chance of injury. It's a natural human reaction. Think back to Jack Newnes, before he go...

Every club does this in the AFL at different points as does every side in every code around the globe. They don't always advertise it publically. Many major corporations are the same in putting forward a so called mission statement. Better to have a bold plan than no plan at all. Yep, it hasn't ful...

Here is the draw: GC ( Townsville) Bris ( H) Rich (H) North ( Tas) Geel ( A) WB(H) Melb (H) Adel (A) Freo (H) Carl ( MCG) Syd (A) Three wins? I'm struggling to see three wins. I can see losses to: Brisbane...Forget yesterday, they are a good side. Richmond...Way too good for us. North...Would have ...

I notice there’s been some posts on Lyon and comparisons made with him. Lyon was a 19-0 coach and a 0-10 coach, depending on the strength of the list. Freo’s recruiting has turned their fortunes around recently with the addition of ... Hill, Hogan, Matera etc.. It really is all about recruiting .. ...

Lyon lost the grand final in 2009 by picking one of the worst players in Saints history - Raphael Clarke , instead of a brilliant Saints legend Max Hughton... I've never forgiven him since, and think he's an arrogant narcissistic pig. Not interested Billy Longer and Ben Long make Ralph look like Ch...

'Positive' is the understatement of the year IMO

I'm going to use the word 'delusional'

I agree Saintadamski. If you notice, I did not mention any of those senior players. They and others are the ones we must make hard decisions about. In terms of X factor, I hear that a lot. TBH I don't really know what it is, what it means or how much of it we need? I don't want a team of highlight ...

Yorkeys... beautifully articulated, and accurate description on my opinion...on the money. Ghost Like...I disagree with your optimistic view of our list. I think the core senior group of Newnes, Geary, Savage, Bruce, Ross etc are C grade, and no where near good enough, while Clarke , Coffield, and P...

Not interested

At what point do “kids” stop being “kids”, before we know it they’ll still be kids and be on the verge of 30. For god sake play White ffs. Won’t surprise me if we lose promising youngsters to other clubs, but hey they have to earn their spots yeah? Ie: be BOG every game for 5 seasons in a row and y...

Jerking yourself off...how old are you? I disagree with everything you said and don't put your words into my mouth and thoughts into my head. Again, Newnes has nothing to do with White. Stop the bias. For what it's worth, I'm expecting White to be picked next week. He is still a kid and developing ...

White is a talented footballer that is constantly overlooked. This is due to Richardson's man crush on Newnes, and inept decisions at the selection table. My concern is that White will be picked up by another club, where he will finally get a run, and blossom. Good for him....but another tragedy fo...

I keep repeating in the hope that it gets through, BarryGrogan - and to drown out the "it's all the coach's fault" cacophony/rubbish. (but it's my last post on this thread) What difference does it make whether we have tried to recruit the 5 quality midfielders you mentioned .. it doesn't ...

Seriously....a 2nd year player and a 19 year old getting pillared after having to deal with a Port avalanche and half his team mates not being 100%. Give these kids a break. Agree 100% i think he will be a decent footballer. Worth pick 8 ? Either way it's way too early to call. I remember flogs fla...

Time to go: Richo and Hamill - No development under these two and no game plan List Cloggers Rowe Armitage Longer Rice Um I think the number of list cloggers is a fair bit longer than that...starting with Newnes and Sinclair This is a terrible list. The midfield is the worst in the comp....there ar...

Ok so the signs are not good for a player picked at number 8...yes he doesn't look particularly talented.... and true, the back line was under siege due to the worst midfield in the comp. My main gripe though, is when a spud like Newnes keeps getting selected week in week out. I pray that this ends ...
