I said it when everyone was criticising Ratten's game plan, and Richo before him... No game plan can survive our skill level! It's improved under Lyon, but was deplorable for the two coaches before him. At times during Lyon's tenure, it's been terrible... We started Friday with two terrible skill er...

StK run Sandringham Have done for years Batchelor- StK employee Hayes - St employee Carroll - StK employee They are the coaches at Sandy They are three of the six coaches. I am not sure that having 3 staff members constitutes running the club. Show me anywhere in their about page, or strategic dire...

I'd look at what Geelong do! They are the best team for developing players. Have been for decades. Sydney are a close second. Both have their own reserves team in the VFL that isn't conflicted about being its own team...It serves at the pleasure of the AFL team. We do not have that kind of relation...

Fixturing has been deplorable for the first part of the season for us. Struggling clubs need home games at a family friendly time to build membership momentum. Our only home games for the first seven weeks have been Thursday nights (during school times). We've had one other game in Melbourne...Again...

Phillipou in comparison looks like a pick 50.

The progression from pick 1 to pick 10 is not linear. Never has been.
Sometimes there's very little difference between the top 3. Sometimes there's a massive chasm.

I wouldn't say that Thursday's game was among the worst I've seen from a result view point...It was the effort and non-response. We didn't respond well enough in the 2nd quarter...We kicked unanswered goals once in the first three quarters. But, once again, fell asleep in red time to conceded two in...

They've stopped!
Collingwood are demolishing them now...It's like the aliens put on the Collingwood jumpers at 1/4 time.

True but some of his selection decisions this season have me perplexed to be honest. 'His' selection decisions? Is he Kim Jong-Un? They sit around a table. Batchelor, Goddard, Harvey, Boris, maybe Lenny gets an equal say as Dev Coach. They ALL have input But Ross would have final say... I'd say he'...

Geelong in 2007 had pick 8 - selected Bartel We had pick 5 - selected X. Clarke We had pick 21 and selected M.Maguire They had 24 and selected Steve Johnson Dal Santo 13 and Kelly 17 was a nil all draw We had pick 37 selected Montagna They had pick 40 (f/s) Gary Ablett Jnr That’s why they won 3 pre...

We have on our List Steele, Sinclair and Wilkie who all have All Australian blazers We have Marshall and Hill who are competition class Then you get to our younger brigade, led by King then Wanganeen-Milera, Owens, Windhager and Phillipou then Wilson and Garcia who all appear up to the level So tha...

We are a good team. Are we though? What evidence is there to support that this season? The 2-4 record? No...That's not it. The scores of 9.14, 14.10, 9.13, 9.13, 12.7, and 9.10? Can't be that. The accuracy percentage of 48.6%? Can't be that either. Must be the workrate (the quarters won)? 9/24. Nop...

We could have done with some of his never-give-in spirit.

The way we used the ball last night, he was there in spirit!

If he got 6 weeks, then he's available next week.

He got 7! Is avaible play against North...and there's some irony.

After the Richmond win we were 9th on the ladder and at that time I thought that's about right . We are capable of beating anyone but we are also lacking in many areas. I think you may have a loose definition of "capable". We can't be lacking in many key areas and still be capable. If we ...

Soon? Henry is at least a month away, as is Crouch...So if you're including Henry then you need to add Crouch - or leave both of them out. Webster is back after next week...Surely he comes in. Is Arnie Arie Schoenmaker? And, to be honest, even with an improved effort that team is not even close to t...

It's hard to think of a game in recent times where I've been more disgusted with the lack of effort. I left 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter - and I was not alone. I would have left at half time, but I was hoping to see a response after the break...Maybe the aliens would arrive again. But, no. Every ...

Fair enough, overturn the decision on the basis of Cameron’s record. He has always struck me as being a clean player: goes for the ball, doesn’t snipe. I know the AFL doesn’t seem to want to bring players’ past records into these decisions as much as used to happen, but it’s surely tolerable. But w...

Zero force in the tackle.

Complete excrement!
Greene's tackle on Andrew looked like slow motion. Absolutely nothing in it...Barely a free kick.

Why did he not cite Nick Vlastuin's dangerous tackle on Dan Butler a couple of weeks ago? That was more dangerous than the Cameron one. I stick to my assessment of him Geez...He did cite him. Got a fine (all it deserved)...No where near as bad as the Cameron one. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1104938...

I'm not fan of the MRO but, to be fair, he did suspend Cameron for the act and it was the tribunal that overturned the decision.
