Saints and WCE got beaten by a combined 161 points this round.

Will be interesting to see how Essendon pull up after a hot flogging in WA today

Learning to win the footy as a Ruckman takes some time... Most young ruckmen have low and inconsistent possession counts? If he competed hard in the stoppages, good enough ATP Like to see him take a few more marks... Obviously not running to the right spots.. Tried hard and timed his leaps well. Ja...

He is just hurting because his team got flogged by Freo.

The drug cheats he supports need to take more s.hit

The inside 50 count doesn't show the full picture, our game plan was totally useless to Adelaide's. We never looked like scoring and were always heavily outnumbered in the forward 50. Stating that the difference was only 4, is misleading, as it doesn't highlight the underlying problem. Maister, a f...

Longer's stats sort of mirrored Hickey from last round 9 touches, flogged in the hit outs and his opponent BOG Sauce is a top Ruckman. The way Hickey took Mumford, Spencer and Cox apart.... He would have made the difference. Indeed?! Longer will be ok, that I am in no doubt Maybe watch the game fir...

No one enjoys a flogging like that, but, it is what is going to happen to us every now and then as we rebuild. Personally, I wasn't confident today, in fact worried something like this would happen, Adelaide wanted to win badly, were much bigger bodied and as quick as we are. Also factor in last we...

Yes, really had a dip when he came on. Certainly in the best today

What's your issue derby? Rhys needs to go and get some confidence, i certainly don't think exposing him to the Bronx cheering is helping much is it? I suppose you think I orchestrated that too? Unlike you, I want guys to do well and make it. Rhys though, not trying hard enough. Savage not far behin...

Actually my thread is having a go at Rhys. . You have to be kidding. With disgraceful and indirect delivery to him and the other forwards Stanley actually had a pretty fare game today. Applied quite a few good spoils too. Nice mark in the first quarter showed that he is starting to learn to use his...

Essendon getting flogged

And seemingly miss those that don't? Nobody individually to blame for that loss, stupid reactionary threads with emotive silly sentiments given there will be a few more losses this year. I simply want guys to run out and pay for the jumper. Which is why I can't with good conscious even bag Maister....

Yes Hickey was missed, especially around the ground. Jacobs is one the better ruckmen playing the game, but he had an easy job today against young Longer, who after all was only playing his 9th game. Though Longer tried hard and will be a good ruckman, but Jacobs out bodied and out positioned him t...

Couldn't have this been posted in the other thread?

Maister should not play seniors for our club again.

He has had four games and is just not up to it.

Lee MUST be brought in for him.

Why only 2 changes after returning from Perth? That's My gripe when dealing with kids who need to bw regularly rotated in and out of the side Do you know more than the medical staff or coaches?[/quote what do mean? they make the changes or did you want us to get beaten by 150 by having more light b...

He wasn't the worst on the field but was well beaten, we really missed Hickey

About 15 wont be

You asked about the last two unmanned goal. Correct me if I am wrong didn't they occur in Qtr 4 when the yung player had no legs and were out on their feet? Got beaten easily in the first half, no doubt, but you do understand you can try hard and still get flogged. Adelaide just too good all over th...

Maister yes - Geary no.

Thank god thats over.

Bad game.

But 2-2 and a winnable game v Brisbane in two weeks.

We have every chance to be 3-3 after Anzac Day

Exactly P66. Effort there, Adelaide muc bigger mored developed hurting after te start of the season. Just killing us So last 2 plays of unmanned Adelaide players is due to bigger bodies??? So getting smashed by bigger bodies all day and getting run off your feet doesn't tire you out? Fair dinkum so...

Some people on here are comical. Magically thought the rebuild was half done after three rounds. Look at history,all you want too see from kids is glimpses,we saw it three weeks in a row, kids don't go four weeks straight,ever,three is a great effort. Be pleased we won two already. The rebuild has ...
