He is going to be very good.

As a defender

Footballer.
Support him.
Too many cynical smart arse comments on here.

Zac 4 sure.
Seb probably has a role, just not as a mid. Regular sub, back pocket, tagger...

If not already mentioned, Lions trying to rough us up. Oscar throwing his weight around. They are very aggressive however the boys seem up for it.

Having LDU and Wardlaw ahead of you might be frustrating.
At Sandy his main counterpart might be H. Garcia. But that's also a fair bit of talent to get past.

J. Steele.

Off field
R. Lyon.

See Sidebottom's specy re Dees. JB rocks up just as it's taken. Was ready for the spill that never came. Was unable to assist team mate with a spoil. A metaphor for his career. Looks busy, but....

Remember the good old days of a home and away fixture. One home, one away. AFL trades on tradition while trashing the fundamentals. Current umpires boss is a real worry. Corporate speak, corporate think. It's a sport pal, if Harvard Business School could deliver championships Alan Richardson would b...

In 2009/2010 I was very content with our scoring prowess - I’ve not experienced another year like 09 where I would go to the footy and opposition fans were shyte scared of playing us cause they expected to lose…. I want that level of sustained performance again No other available coach out there ri...

Sweet Caroline will suddenly and inexplicably become unpopular.
John Denver will turn in grave and stop Country Road being sung anywhere but around campfires.

I don’t miss Billings I just acknowledge his achievements- which are by no means champion status - but also not disgraceful People want him to fail or refuse to accept he is ok to somehow justify getting rid of him? I am filthy we are paying him 250 000 to play at Melbourne Why? Anyway, most grievi...

A gun midfield is much more important than a "two prong attack". A gun midfield makes an average defense and offence so much better. Like someone said earlier, Pies won with no gun forward. The Dees won with Ben Brown. Geelong had a dynasty with an elite midfield making guys like Hawkins,...

It is not that sides based outside Melbourne travel every second week because that is their brief - including playing a Grand Final in Melbourne It is the equality of the draw between Melbourne based Clubs including game times Imagine the outcry if Collingwood had has our draw this season - and not...

I don't think we need drastic changes in personnel. Most of the changes have upset our rhythm since round 2 and we need stability in the team Nearly ALL of the forwards have had interruptions in form because of injury or suspension. In Caminit's 'case it's been due to getting dropped. I'd leave him...

Dead right.
AFL Secretariat seem to be conceding an umpiring decision each week while ticking off a pile of shockers. Give the impression no serious problem, we are reasonable and listen.
It forgets we have first hand or recorded evidence of the actual circumstances.

Two prongs conjures up a sharp focussed impression. I am now accustomed to our shotgun approach. Haven't got the loads right, sights are wonky sometimes shoot our own feet but it sure makes opposition backs confused at times "what is this team trying to do?"

James Bartel just agreed Worst game of the year RL has now coached the 5 lowest scoring games at Marvel 2008, 2010, 2023, 2023, 2024 Did the opposition sides in those games not have coaches? Ross is indisputably a great structural coach whatever talent or lack thereof he has to work with. P. Roos m...

AFL owns Suns. Conflict of interest much? That sure was a mistake, umpire forgot he is a shareholder in Suns and who pays him. Yeo free, well he was near the ball for a while, was involved in the lead up so as soon as he took possession prior opportunity had expired, because there was potential he c...

Crook knee. Brave to be out there.

Hardwick had a trove of talent, playing for a spot, Saints FB goes early, we fluff many chances, Suns hit the front late. Bottom line: we won. Dimma points to an umpiring decision having amnesia about the ride Suns got eg Swallow.
It was a good win.

Hardwick correct Game was disgusting Perhaps you should follow Manchester City. Place photo of Hardwick on your bedroom wall. If you want perfection then AFL and barracking for the Saints is just not your cup of tea. Constantly finding fault in team, demeaning players, coach et al is getting a bit ...

But where on the spectrum of "unhappiness" would the most unhappy players be. Young, rich, fit, idolised, spoon fed, every facility on call. Unhappy? Give us a break. I suspect it's Sydney. The expectation burden now must be crushing. North next because it is a laughing stock. WCE because ...

I suspect the main focii of interest right now are the very promising prospects in the Sandringham VFL team, already contracted. We have them in the tent, they clearly have a lot of talent, need to manage their development and retention.
Future Bright? Have to wear shades!

One difference is that in a SOO match every player on both sides are creme del a creme so a star is penalised. In AFL the marketers strenuously resist "stars" and key players from big clubs being suspended. The verbal and intellectual contortions to exonerate Maynard were things to behold....

Well to be fair huge illegal drug scandles, suing the AFL, coach having a mental health collapse, players leaving because they were experimented on and Sheedy being on the far end of eccentric is probably news worthy.
