Re: Bailey Smith

We need to KEEP our 2 first rounders and see if we can get another one for this year or next either with player trades + picks as Tassie will be in 2 years and we need to get quality youth on the list asap. And with the recruiting team we have now assembled lets hope we hit the mark with picks so fa...

Re: Changes for Sydney

I am disappointed with the inns for Sundays game we could have made a statement and played some players who were really burning it up in the VFL.

How do we know if he doesn't get a go.
plus all he can is play well at sandy, and don't just give him 1 game and if he doesn't play great that's it got give the young players at least 2-3 games give them confidence.

Agree totally I have been saying for a while play King at CHF he will not get monstered then and he is mobile enough to play there.

Re: King knee injury

Also Cammaniti is out for a few weeks with ankle he could have slotted back in to the forward line. I would say play Keeler he was a forward but is now a KPD.Dougal is back next week and we don't really have many big forwards and I am not counting Sharman as big at 193cm he is a good size but with H...

Re: Josh Battle

My major concern with having caminiti playing back is that we are already really short up forward and it shows when there are 2 big defenders always on King. Having 2 or even 3 big forwards and I don't mean 188cm KPF I mean at least 200cm for 2 of the forwards seams to be there the formula just look...

Re: Anyone have any intel?

Marshall has currency, and funnily enough, when Campbell was in the ruck out midfielders seemed more assured. Wouldn’t be the worst idea to cash in if he wants out. There’s an opinion from many that ruckman are the most overrated position. That view is by people who do not play in the ruck. The ruc...

Re: Something changed

Our Defenders were to small Hipwood over 200cm Danaher over 200cm Battle 193 cm and cammaniti 196cm or cordy 195cm Ari 194cm no wonder they out marked us. We need to go to the draft and get a big 200cm defender and trade for one as well not easy but its got to be done. Great move to bring in Campbel...

Re: Momentum killers

The free against Marshall was just poor umpiring.

Re: Bassat has a lot to answer for

I think we need to calm down. We all know our midfield is second rate at best, and this is primarily the fault of Tony Elshaug, not Ross Lyon This club has not drafted a single A grade midfielder in 15 years. Lyon is acutely aware of the impotence of our midfield. He has been dealt the additional b...

Last year we had cordy up forward with Higgins and butler who were kicking goals and had score involvements butler has barely played this year either has Higgins so that was a big factor in our goal kicking.

Re: Mid Season Draft

WE do need to take someone I here we are keen on a HBF at sandy as if we need another one of those.
What we do need is a tough mid or a Ruck who can play a bit.
There were a few on show in the recent state game SA v WA
