Re: Sandy V Essendon
Campbell is slow but we didn't recruit or draft any ruckman during draft period and if they think he is to slow what happens if Row goes down do we go with Owens only its a dilemma that we created. The only short term solution is that we look at the mid season draft and see what is available around ...

Re: Owens
We'll persist with the 2nd ruck role until he gets injured then they might wake up to themselves, but I doubt it!! Unfortunately I think you are right until he gets a serious injury against a 200+cm Ruckman he will stay rucking doesn't matter that it stunts his game and takes away a weapon we have ...

Re: Changes for next week
I am thinking a bit different to most people going by Sandy game and who has played well in the lead up games. Out King in Keeler he is playing as Defender right now and did really well for sandy with 16 disposals 11 kicks 5 handballs 6 marks 2 tackles he is really a forward/Ruck and played in that ...

Re: Arie Schoenmaker to debut?
I have one out of left field if king is out play Keeler I know he has been playing as a defender but he is a natural forward and played most of his junior footy as a forward plus he can ruck he came to us as a forward ruck. I have been watching him at sandy his last game he got 16 disposals,11 kicks...

Re: Did anyone watch the pies coach post match summary
Did anyone hear BT Pratt on about the Higgins Out of bounds goal decision? Yes he was very quiet about the dropped mark that was paid by the Collingwood player that resulted in there first goal. Plus there were 2 umps watching the kick and from a different angle we only saw it from the back if it w...

Re: Roma
I know its only a short term solution but do we look at the mid season draft and see what ruckman are around the the state leagues.
There are some good players there we have had a great success with the mid season look at Sharman and heath is ok

Re: Phillipou
I love Phillipou and hope he is a long term player for us but I do have a few concerns he has not resigned and I know that he is in talks with the club but I wonder what is holding it up. You would have thought he was a priority at this point I would even give him a 5 year contract to 2030 so the ne...

Re: What haapens if we lose our opening two games?
Fair question it might happen lets hope it doesn't. Well the first half of the draw is difficult but the second half we play a lot of home games and lets hope we come home with a wet sail and storm into the finals.

Why give a guy who treats woman like the way he does I was disgusted so another chance no way, what message does that send.
I am a big no we don't need him and I remember Lovett didn't even make round 1 before he was dropped by club.

Re: Pou in the age
He reminds me of another young guys who some recruiters thought were a bit arrogant and went to the beat of his own drum.
This player was overlooked by some clubs because of it and he turned out ok.
It was Buddy???

Re: I'm tired of it YOY
Year on year is usually an financial term to describe comparisons between years. In reality, positions 4-14 are very close and I don't think you can even come close to picking a top 8. It will almost certainly come down to luck and injuries. The comp equalisation strategy is finally working. Until ...

Re: Training Reports
Now that there are 5 on interchange would the 5 player be more like a KPP or Ruck or a player who can play both. Unless i've read it wrong, the additional player is just the sub but the nomination comes right before the game instead of on selection night. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1074844/amendme...

Again the arguments here are overly simplistic as several are debating this as though there is an absolute answer and accountability to AFL team performance. There isn't- if there was then it wouldn't be very interesting. Cherry picking stories like Lovett et al isn't going to prove anything either...

Re: Forward Line
Am I right in saying that Sandy has to have 12 players and we make up the rest as its a aliment team.
If that is the case and we don't have many injury's wouldn't that really affect our younger guys development as some would have to miss each week.

Re: A pair of young guns
Really had little expectations from Caminiti this season, he was a afterthought draft choice made in desperation, young and green with no pre-season. Ultimately his contribution was far in excess of expectation, but as the season wore on his effectiveness declined and he struggled to demand a role ...
