I've put my 2 dinas in before on this and I'll say it again. The RL game plan is boring to the point of depressing and isn't winning enough games. Under his game plan, we are relying on winning games by holding the opposition to lower scores than our own low score. The winning streak we had late las...

I'm worried that the beard will make him even slower. Aerodynamics - that sort of stuff. On the other hand it's good to see some real men out there. These days a lot of the players are I think what is called "metrosexuals". That is, they wax everything and rub creams into their skin. Still...

Ok, a lot on here (including me) have their personal biases. I'm a bit of Raph fan, and can tolerate the odd mistake, as they are becoming fewer and fewer each match. He's got an unorthodox style of playing football which probably taints him unfairly. It's not so much how you go about your job, but...

got a good point here, bring in armo in this match drop harves, (rest harves) bring himback firing for geelong bring in armo i we are not going to drop harves...the early games are as important as any...the doggies are flying atm and a win over them will set us up ever so splendidly for a crack at ...

Ross should not play favourites.....his history with Dempster should cloud the fact he is NOT in our best 22 - clearly 22-30....and thats on the last 3 years.... He opposes Goddard Blake L.Fisher Baker all of whom have had better careers than Sean to this date Raph and Gilbo are possibly behind Dem...

X has always been excellent imo. He is the equal to any in the side when it comes to the in-and-under and the hard tackling and chasing stuff. Because of this he has had a few injuries which have kept him out of the side. I remember that he was not selected for one of the finals in recent years (hel...

Excellent. Gave me a good laugh. Keep it up. Maybe they could be the new Bears and only recruit has beens over 35.

Matthew Lloyd. The 'Robbie the Robot' of the AFL, and utterly boring to watch. Playing for Essendon in recent times also lifts your reputation. :lol: Robbie the Robot :lol: good sledge. Like Buckley he is an unfortunate choice of front man by his club (especially now that Hird has retired). No medi...

We shouldn't favour one religion over others. If it's not ok to play footy on Good Friday, then it's not ok to play footy on other days that are sacred to other religions. We don't want that, do we? If you think this is far-fetched consider the outcomes of the positive discrimination that the Howard...

They would not be very good. The reason is that only a rich minority in India get to participate in things like representative sports. That's why they are no good in most world sports when on the numbers, they should dominate. Even in cricket, it's once in a blue moon they perform . 1 billion people...

Love these sorts of topics. Here are the first two of mine: 1. Paul Roos: The hype called him the best CHB going round. But anyone who watched saw that he couldn't mark overhead at all. He would fly for a mark with that bad looking down and not at the ball style. The Swans would hide him from the go...

Well, actually no, they represent the St Kilda Football Club. they are elected by the members to represent st kilda football club ... and would do well to remember it. I would doubt that most members would know what is best for the St Kilda football club. ...That is why the board makes those types ...

Back to the captaincy...(although the funding discussion was valid in this topic as people speculated about the announcement that may have been happening). Rooey will be named sole captain. He will be captain for years. The Saints need to do everything to secure him for post 2010 when the new team s...

Seems to have straightened up his kicking for goal.

Demetriou is a lucky fool who can smoke cuban cigars and drink brandy on the back of the record TV rights deals that are so easily struck up at the moment. He's got no talent as a CEO, just a big ego and a bigger wallet. :lol: :lol: :lol: nice sledge. mods, any chance of a poll on this important is...

I'm dead against it. Finey's brilliant monologue on the subject broadcast on SEN a few weeks ago summed it all up. I'm sure forum members who haven't heard or read it can lay their eyes on it somewhere - presumeably SEN has a www site. The western Sydney thing especially is a completely stupid idea ...

The bloke has top notch disposal skills. . I think many of your points are well made.....but during the game his disposal skills are often lacking. In particular it is not enough to dispose of the ball toa team mate...you need to to this to your advanatge. For example raph often kicks the ball to w...

We didn't "give" those parasities any players, the AFl bought them for them. Nice to see that Sydney is on the outer with Dementriou. Remember he vindictive things Dementriou and his monkey did when Thomas was on the outer with him. Fixing games, umpires getting caught bragging about the ...

Disagree with the negative stuff about Raph Clarke. Here are some points: 1. He is not slow at all. He has a loping, long striding style of running that appears fairly effortless. Watch more closely, they don't catch him very often. 2. He breaks the lines all the time. Raph likes to draw players to ...

Following the round 1 theme... I cannot believe the negativity about X and Blake. Find it hard to see that Schneider has cemented a spot. I really think Gehrig is not up to it (pity, he's been fantastic - a show in himself) but age has caught up). Milne is at the cross roads with the emergence of ot...

poker machines - I don't like 'em either and would prefer that AFL clubs weren't making money from them. The reason that the machines tend to be located in the poorer parts of town (and I live about 1 km from the poorest postcode in Melbourne - Braybrook - & no doubt there are many close seconds...

I'll add to the chorus for Armageddon. Bit of Greg Burns, bit of Mick Dwyer, bit of Dal. He looks like a 200 gamer so far this year. Got to watch his weight - will have to work on this for the next 10-13 years of his career. Best of luck for Mini. He could still make it but it will be near impossibl...

The best thing about C Gardiner is he has a HUGE motor, He ran all day and if you look at him in the last quarter he was hardly blowing at all whilst most of the other guys on the park looked knackered. Him and Roo continually leading up the ground is going to bring backmen to their knees!! I am wo...
