Re: The Fat Lady
The term has wide attachment e.g. DMac's pass late in Saturday's game to shift play that had turnover goal on it all the way; Parker's 50 metre penalty because he can't switch on. Foot's sensitivities and ego - all coach killers. Often we are the equivalent of the funeral home for coaches. Although...

Re: The Fat Lady
It’s funny, Jarryn Geary was being lauded for his leadership earlier this season?! But correct, Roo and Joey left gaping holes of elite senior talent and leadership. A baton that was supposed to be passed on to Goddard and McEvoy. Not so sure who AR should have rotated the captaincy to? There was n...

Re: Changes v Cats
Long won't get dropped and neither he should. Parker, certainly and Hind and Sinclair maybes. Posters calling for Ross to be dropped are wasting their time. Brown has to be fitted in as a replacement for Battle and Lonie is a certainty to return I wish White and Langlands would be given games but m...

Re: Hannebury Hamstring Awareness & Lethlean
I am not a DH proponent. You can be a DH fan based on his history, but I usually back my eyes when I see a player struggling over an extended duration. Muscle atrophy might be irreversible and I thought we were battling the laws of nature when we signed him on last year Anyhow...if DH gets 800K, the...

Re: Jack Steele
I would like to see him used more offensively. He can win his own footy, so instead of instructing him to sit off the ball & tackle his opponent when they get it, instruct him to get the pill himself. Ross should be playing a more negating role to free up Steele. Bizarre isn't it. Ross was beco...

Re: The Streak is Over.
He actually dropped himself. What a legend. Didn't want to break the consecutive games record of a premiership hero, so went to Richo and asked to have a spell in the 2s. After quite an argument Richo relented. So he's done a Tubby Taylor. He's a ripper, great clubman. You're obviously havn a lend,...

Re: Dean Kent injured at training
Lonie is more like a mosquito. Yes mosquitos can be aggressive but you consider them a pest more than anything. I don't expect Lonie to return with the same blistering form he showed earlier this year. Hopefully it doesn't take him too long to gain his touch and slot straight backk in to the team We...

Re: So Sad For Armo
Have some respect for once will you. The game was won and lost in the midfield. Armo had earnt a recall into the seniors with several outstanding efforts in the magoos. It's called selection integrity and he adds experience with the loss of Steele. With Paton and others playing well he will no doubt...

Happy for Ratten to take the reigns for the year, but being our forwards coach, and seeing how limp our forward line is playing, not sure he’s the right guy long term.

Re: The Positives
It was positive that Hannas showed leadership and played out the match and kept trying hard in the last quarter but he's half the player he used to be
Hind was very good.
The other positive is that White, Coffield, and Clark should be able to cement more opportunities to play together soon
