Re: Kicking at goal
The rot set in after we hired that corkhead, Ben Dixon. We went from bad to worse under his "tutelage". Don't forget his best "technique" was to get the players to imagine the best sex they'd ever had, as they were lining up, and visualize their partner in that union standing be...

Re: Sandy V Essendon
Tom Campbell is a great club man, who is providing valuable mentoring and coaching to our developing ruckmen. Two roles, VFL player and assistant coach, for the price of one. Unfortunately, it is obvious the coaches see him only as an, "In case of emergency break glass" type, and maybe not...

Re: Isaac Keeler
How many games did Max King play in defense? Another example was Barry Hall. A disaster in defense. A premiership captain (with help from the tribunal) as a KPF.
Isaac is a natural forward/ruck. It also happens to be a role we desperately need to fill. Play him there.

Re: Isaac Keeler
I thought we recruited Keeler to be developed as a future Paddy Ryder type. That made sense, in that Isaac was physically similar to Paddy, was athletic like Paddy, and was exceptional below his knees for such a tall man, just like Paddy. All good so far. Isaac shows plenty of promise as a tap ruckm...

Re: Gresham
Gresh was on track to be a star, pre-2020. His bad luck with multiple and significant injuries began with stress fractures in his back in 2020. That was followed by a torn Achilles tendon in 2021, a devastating injury for a player whose main weapon was acceleration. This injury is notoriously diffic...

Re: Sandy V Essendon
Collard with 4. He has that touch of class about him. Has just been awarded best on ground by the Channel 7 crew. Still physically immature, but he will be some sort of player in the future. I just hope we can hang on to him. A tick for Garcia as well. Attacks the ball as though it's his prey. The 2...

Re: Crab watch
Aahh, Billings. The ultimate flat-track bully. The Graeme Hick of the AFL. Looks like a million dollars against ordinary opposition, but rarely performs when it's all on the line. Watch him dominate at Casey!

Re: Kicking at goal
We should've put them away by halftime. The final blow was Stringer kicking the set shot from outside 50. Talk about a punishing lesson. I wonder how Sharman, Higgins, and the other guilty parties felt having missed what should've been gimmies for AFL standard forwards. Losing so narrowly was the sa...

Re: Seb Ross
Windhager ran with Daicos Seb has played as a run with player many times I acknowledge that, BM. I feel this will become his role permanently. Windy has shown on numerous occasions, starting in his first year, that he could go head-to-head with the opposition's leading midfielders and beat them. Wi...

Re: Seb Ross
Great effort by Seb on DeGoey. I think we've found his role going forward. The run with midfielder. It also releases Windy from that role, whose effort against the filth is cause for excitement. Windy will be a gun, not as stopper (thank goodness) but as a midfield accumulator. Another piece of the ...

A very sad situation for Coffield. Another injury blow. This will put him out for most of the season. The poor bloke can't take a trick. A promising career derailed by injury.

Re: Crouch out over 1 month - Knee
No probs. I just hope that it doesn't turn out like Hamill and members last year. Crouch is an important part of RTB's plans moving forward. Another blow we can't afford at the moment.
