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

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
