Re: Nate Brown

Agree Brown was great tonight. Did his job and did it well. Like everyone else knows it was our terrible kicking again that let us down again. Richo get the boys in front of goals this week and practice kicking goals. We could have, no, should have won tonight and won easily

Re: Sean Dempster might be quiting

Perth doesnt get the show till later, 3 hours behind is the "news" from Purple? Should have said spoiler, sorry. If you watch you will see it pretty early when Damien Barrett comes on. Doesn't say a lot just he is seriously thinking of pulling up stumps. Dempster has been my favourite pla...

Sean Dempster might be quiting

Just saw on the Footy show that Dempster is weighing up playing again. Watch this space

Re: How Important Is It To Beat WCE?

We were not expecting to win this game so not that important. We are honestly going to be on the end a massive hiding simply because west coast is better. A lot better, Josh Kennedy is a gun that will kick a tonne unless Carlisle gets rid of the ring rust in a hurry. Mitchell has found a new gear a...

Re: Ins & Outs for round 2

It sounds defeatist but I don't think it is going to make a lot of difference who we play regarding the results. West coast in Perth will be a bridge too far. Players can have a bad week so I am all for second chances except for Armo, Ross & Dunstan. One of them has to go because they are too si...

Re: So, is anyone going to discuss ...

For me the decision to not play Demspter shocked me more than anything else. No Fish or Joey in the team so who is our most experienced back that we need up the back to settle the nerves and enforce the structure when the tide turned? Dempster by a mile. I was at the game and lost count how many tim...

Re: Team Round 1

No Dempster is harsh as he has done nothing wrong. Acres in understandable as he hasn't excelled in the JLT. More problems will occur next week when Joey is back. Nice problems to have for a change

Re: Nathan Freeman.

If Nathan is a bust, can we merge it with a Tommy Walsh thread please? I have written him off which is a shame. He hasn't played much at VFL level and was sub par in his development league games. He has trouble finding the ball and from what I have read is scared to sprint for obvious reasons. We w...

Re: Training and freeman

Forget about Freeman for this season otherwise you will be continually disappointed. If he gets fit and comes back in the tail end it will be a nice surprise but its not just his running that is the problem now. He hasn't actually played a lot of footy so he will have to learn the game again.

Re: Match Thread v Power JLT Round 1

You can't base the upcoming season on one performance but last night wasn't good. * I expected better skills and more accurate disposals. There was less handballing behind a running player which meant for quicker ball movement which was awesome but a few times we ran all the way up to the goals but ...

Re: Who gets in

Goddard He's a mile off... and that was pre injury Couldn't agree more. He played one game only and was getting absolutely smashed before the injury and his VFL form was average at best. He has potential as all players do but he has to prove he can play at VFL level first. I doubt we will see him i...

Re: Intra club - Thurs 16th 5 pm

I watched the game and to be honest the hard hits and huge tackles were missing so most players seemed to play better than usual knowing that they weren't going to get hit hard. a few quick points Hickey didn't have a great game but he was still good especially around the ground. Billings looked goo...

Re: Pick #39 - Josh Battle

great get for 39. Genuine forward and most phantom drafts had him in the 20-30 range. Happy with this

I am a little confused by this pick. Some have him as a small defender, others a small forward. Plus he is 70kgs dripping wet

I would have preferred a outside mid with some wheels like Shai Bolton?

Re: Further list changes

Eli has been so hard done by. He is a smaller player so needed to build his body which he has done and now is too good for VFL. We should redraft him over Fish with our third pick IMO. Chips has been great for the club but has no future and his body breaks down too often. Carlisle will be a great fo...
