I do agree with this. I actually think Richo handled himself very well throughout the show last night. I don't think Richo should have brought up his issue on the show if he didn't intend to air it on the show. If he questioned the accuracy of something Hutchy had said about the club, then surely i...

Points, Polling Games, Name (from 8 out of the 9 games missing rnd 1. 16 players have polled (so whoever is left is the bottom 6 right?! ;) 28 4 Hayes 7 2 Ball 28 4 Joey 37 6 Roo 4 2 CJ 9 3 Gram 11 4 Fish 12 5 Gilbert 13 3 Kosi 4 1 Ray 5 1 Schneider 19 2 Goddard 28 4 Dal 1 1 Milne 1 1 Dawson 1 1 Baker

OK we played Swans not crows rnd 1.
I'll total up the rest now

can't find round 1,2 and 4. But the other rounds we have 15 individuals who have polled votes

These links are hard to find. I would like to do a tally as we would have a ton of players rated. Also the Heraldsun would have a number of players with votes too.

OUR DEPTH IS NOW... BACKLINE: Max, Maguire, Dempster RUCK: McEvoy FORWARD: Lynch MIDFIELD: L.Fisher, Armitage, Eddy, Steven If you include Gram who missed last week (not sure about Steven or Fisher) we have cover across the ground. I remember hearing about our list a few years back but it was never...

Jonsey good call and that is why we are in no rush to rush Max in. What Max can do is play on smaller forwards as well and can run off his man OK although his foot skills are not as good as some. Raph Goddard and Gilbert are three of the best 'utilities' in the comp and adding Max gives us another D...

I look forward to this each week on afl.com at someone with more time on their hands should make it a sticky. This week was interesting with the coaches (Lyon and Voss) only agreeing on one player as being in the top 5 (Lenny) St Kilda v Brisbane Lions 7 Hayes (St K) 5 Ball (St K) 5 Montagna (St K) ...

Um just ignored a bunch of the bickering above but a really good thread. Clearly an inspired pick and Dawson is AFL quality. Would guarentee that if he was still at the hawks would have played nearly all if not all games this year with the loss of Gilham Birchall and Croad (way better than Murphy fo...

Vossies comment was accurate. They were up by 9 points in the last and you shouldn't drop games from there. Exactly the reason why I'm so excited about this result!

Raph was Ok today (apart from the clanger kick out). I wouldn't call him an ordinary player..if anything is quite a good player with deceptive apce/skills and footy brain. Would be suprised if he gets dropped on that game. Best 22 for mine!

bigcarl wrote:So Gram was dropped rather than injured.

I thought we missed his run and willingness to take risks today.

Hope to see him back soon as he's been a vital player for us this season.

Good call, was quite evident that we missed his run. Interesting to see if he gets a game next week

we needed a token Aboriginal player in this round...? That commentt is in poor taste. Raph is in our best 22 when he is fit. Exactly, Raph was OK today in his 1st game for a while (sans that kick out that went to his opponent). We have 3 players in the twos with claims on being in the Seniors. Good...

Blake struggled a bit today too. Maybe either Gwilt or Blake for Maxy but we'll have to wait and see. I've changed my mind and feel that Gram should come straight in as well...but not for Raph as he is certainly in our best 22

Oh yes and Zac Dawson was very good today like the bulk of our backline (we actually Missed Gram today more than I would have thought!)

Um this is hard..

5. Hayes
4. Gardiner
3. Kosi
2. Ball
1. Joey

Um...where do I put Clint Jones? Was almost BOg the he chopped up Travis!

What a fantastic win. I hope we all appreciate the magnitude of a win against a good Brisbane side with our backs to the wall. Big shouts out to Hayes and Ball who were just magnificant and Kosi who's kicking for goal kept us is it and started the momentum in the last. One of our greatest wins ans t...

...and we should all remember we have another FIVE games first. There is a worrying line of getting ahead of ourselves here lately. It's the players who should not get ahead of themselves, not the fans. Saying that last night should ermind the boys (if last week didn't) that you need you A game to ...

He doesn't get back in the team if the above occurs and we play well. Mini, or Geary would have to be ordinary and I like the way they have been playing so have to keep rewarding the performing incumbant

Lexus is Toyota!!

I must have watched a different game to the posters on this thread. the bombers were good and we were ordinary. The fact that we won could mean either a) a good team finds a way to win or b) a team like Geelong or the Hawks would pump us in a similar position. The answer will come later this Septemb...

This is the best away strip that we have had and looks good. Both clubs had an away strip on and I like the way that both are similar to the regular strip just slightly change the ratio of colours. I notice that the result was ok too@!

Gwilt took a few marks and wasn't bad.
Milne, Gram, Goddard even Gilbert all played their worst game of the season. But we won.

Bucks should make a good coach and I would have loved to see him at the Saints as an assistant this year. I wouldn't comment on grammar or semantics as they do employ editors at Newspapers!!

I think that the way we disposed of the ball in that game was shocking. I've had a name for that style for a while and call it the freo disposal (as I think its the difference to them winning or losing the close games) Too many handballs and kicks made the player recieving stall on the run, or it w...
