Re: When Geary is fit...

We chose Clark and Coff for specific reasons. We need to get games into both and only drop these blokes when they need to be managed and rested. You move Clark up the ground and he spends more time in the middle rotating with JB, Newnes and Sebby. Coff seems at home on the back flank for now, so I t...

Re: You can thank us later....

I don't agree with the op, but the joke is on all of us for being sold bulls*** from this administration and this football department for so long. Enough is enough.

Re: Roo : Richardson sacking 18 months in the making

Notice how Rooy isn't just looking at the last 12 months or just season 2018 I think Rooy would have formed an opinion on Richo in the latter half of 2017 when the team had an opportunity to play finals and we just missed out. Rooy would have no doubt seen that mistakes were made with both team sele...

Re: Roo : Richardson sacking 18 months in the making

Ask yourself this question: Knowing Richo and his penchant for a big strong contest at the centre bounce, who do you think Richo would have had as first ruck if Billy Longer was fit during the JLT and was fit and ready in round 1? Richo's preference for mediocre players that fitted in to his philoso...

Re: If Scott ends up as coach?...

Why would anyone find amusement in the fact that rusted on supporters would feel the need to 'stop supporting' to get a message across? If the football department is run to benefit certain individuals as a priority over the long term health of the club then it is time for the fans to stop supporting...

Re: Team lineup under ratts

Everyone here has seen countless players come and go over the years. We’ve seen early draft picks and high profile trades fail. Rookies that never came through. Over time you get a feel for someone that comes to the club that is a little bit special. That is Blake Acres. We aren’t fabricating some ...
