Okay, that's interesting in regards to Van Es. Certainly is a large unit. Hopefully we get a good look at him during the practice matches.
Thanks for the info everyone. Much appreciated.

Re: Training
Hi everyone,
Hope you're all doing well. Thanks for these updates. Bloody great stuff.
Has anyone seen much of Van Es yet? Keen to hear how he's progressing, given our neverending need for another key back.
Happy new year to you all

Re: Ross Lyon?
We have a B grade list. Workmanlike. 1 elite player in Steele I doubt any coach takes us to finals in the first year. And the holy grail is to be at least 4 years away and that requires everything going right from a draft, trade and development perspective This is nowhere near the list Lyon got in ...

Re: Ross Lyon?
Not completely sold on Ross' return but one thing he will bring is some defined clarity for a lot of our players. We've got so many blokes who don't even know where their best position is yet. Clark, Coffield, Sharman, Billings, Hill, Gresham. They'll all benefit from a coach who can give them some ...

Re: Ratten sacked
That was a shambolic press conference. So many mixed messages. Lethlean saying our list should be achieving more but Gags saying recently that we don't have the cattle. And why would they make Ratts virtually reapply for the job this week when he was already coach? An absolute mess. Lethlean and Bas...

Re: Jason Horne-Francis
It's definitely nuffy season but I do find it strange that Horne-Francis hasn't nominated the Crows or Port yet. Also, the fact we're letting Hunter go while still under contract is pretty bizarre. Something is afoot, though it could just be our famous incompetence.

Re: Vent your spleen right here right now
The side we put out last night wasn't 45 points worse than Geelong's. I'm not buying any talk that says they had a classier team playing last night. This comes down to leadership, pure and simple. As soon as any side begins shifting out defence from side to side, we leak goals like a sieve. Not enou...

Freo did what we did in the second half against the dees, only they did it better. Use your legs and get run from behind. Use the corridor whenever possible and make their defenders defend one on one. Crucial thing was to get on top around the stoppages. Petracca had an absolute stinker. So that def...

Re: Prediction and odds
The way North is in the media at the moment, we'd wanna be on our game. That's all I know. No easy kills in league footy, especially when the opposition has its back against the wall.
