However looking at the big picture we have only won 8 out of 26 final quarters under RL with points for being 498 and against being 642. We are the fade outs. This is the most telling stat. The fade outs are simply the result of a game plan that requires 80% of the team to run up and down the lengt...

Ball picked up 27 possessions, but he was no where. They were all insignificant possession that had little or no impact on the game. Totally disagree, Ball was magnificant on Saturday, hew was under everry pack his attack on the ball was brilliant. He had 11 contested possessions (the most in the s...

Is Ling, Bartel, Corey, Enright, Selwood or Kelly any quicker than Dal Santo, Ball, Hayes, Fiora, Montagna, X, or Banger? I think our greatest issue is the ability to gut run when we dont have the ball plus our terrible kicking skills which are causing turnovers and we look slow because we have to t...

Where has our aggression gone??
The glaring difference between us and Geelong was their absolute agression at the ball and the man at the ball. In 2004 and 2005 we were the hunters we attacked the ball with a ferocity that made other sides nervous. I still get chills when I watch the replay of the Wizard GF when Ling got cleaned u...

Jason Gram
Is this guy the most over rated player on our list? He is terrible in a contest, refuses to tackle will not put his head over the footy and burns the ball more than most. He had 14 possies today and an efficiency rate of 57%!! He has got way ahead of himself must go back to the basics, if it wasn't ...

This is a great point Rodger. One of my pet hates is how when the opposition gets possession across half back the entire side just fall back into defence and let them stroll down the field until they get the ball into a dangerous zone. Then if we do win possession we look up and see a wall of opposi...

Jason Gram = SOFT!!! Will not tackle will not put any body pressure. It was emabarrising to see how easy Hill brushed past him. I am sick to death of players being considered good footballers because they can get 18 uncontested possessions playing loose off the half back line. For Gods sake, any hal...

It amuses me how everyone is having a go at Jones because of his kicking style, I watched the game twice today and although he is one sided he barely missed a target and he was definetly the best chaser and tackler on the park. On the other hand Jason Gram who has a great kicking style shanked the c...

From what I've seen so far this season, G is basically doing the body on body wrestling work drawing opponents to the contest allowing Kosi the freedom to come in late from the side of the pack to jump over the lot of them. This works well as G can barely get off the ground these days but he still i...

Airport sightings
Saw Gardi at Qantas club in Melbourne this morning, asked him how the foot was, he said it was feeling the best it had in ages and he would be right to go for all of pre-season. Nice bloke quite chatty. Also saw Hasebly on the flight from Melbourne to Sydney, looking very overweight. (Not game to te...

What you fail to understand is that although we had a better list of players on the park for the second half, the majority of them had had either extended periods of time off the field and training track or very limited pre-seasons. This would explain why when we had plenty of run in the legs in the...
