by far the worst disposal ????????

I think you will find when it comes to brain fade clangers one Jason Blake takes some tossing . Certainly i wouldnt class max as worse than him.

And thats not taking anything away from Blake because he is an honest trier who gives his all .

Terrible umpiring

How can you defend the indefensible?

How many times to half time did a hawk player dive in low to be rewarded a head high?

And holding the ball is a lottery ?

When it comes to the tribunal we have to have the most underperforming legal representation of any afl club. They sure earn their money easy with us. Time and time again we get done over by the tribunal. Not just the tribunal but also the match review committee. Each week you see infringments not re...

What tripe ?

Eddy wouldnt get a game with Collingwood ?

Now there is a team with plodders on every line ?

Im sure Michael Milkshake could use an Eddy .

He might not be a matchwinner but he will always give you 100% which is more than some of them collingwood hacks give ?

I see meher babble is at it again .

What I want to see is my team get even better !!!!!!!

Because Im sure the opposition arent sitting on their backsides being happy with their lot .

And I think the saints can get better with some juggling of personel that are HONEST TOILERS.

Barks3eva is spot on. You have picked the weak links that will let down the team under pressure. The weakness is glossed over when the team wins but will be magnified when the game is a close one. Continual improvement is what will win us a flag . We should not rest on our laurels because we have 10...

continually makes dumb football decisions does blake .

We have not had many goals kicked against us this year but dumb decisions from blake would have accounted for quite a few.

I think a fit maguire would be a far superior option to blake

Because if you were watching the replay you would have seen the camera pan on them , sometime in the second quarter I think

Well the crumbers at the foot of kosi and Roo are much more show of kicking goals because with those two you know you are always going to get a contest in the air.

Wasnt always the case with big fraze . Good on the lead but never burst open packs . Actually often chose not to fly in a pack situation.

I found myself watching the game thinking this guy is turning into not just a tagger but a gun. Seemed a fraction quicker than most and seemed to take the best option most of the time . There is no doubt he is getting better and better. Thinking that good teams will have to stop dal santo , montagna...

Needs to put his head over the ball and welcome the inevitable body contact rather than hoping to extract the ball from the pack without pressure . And watched a fair bit of Dal today . Runs aroud lazily when the opposition has the ball . Dont know if thats fair on him because I dont know if he is c...

I would love a copy too .
I can put it to dvd if people would like . Makes it easier to go around then !!

Thought the dogs put the cats under some pressure without an even contribution from all of their team. Having Welsh and Hudson was like playing two players short with Cooney not far behind. Cooney has all the skills but doesnt like a physical contest and i was surprised at how much griffen fumbled a...

You would think that umpires dont cheat ? Well their performance would indicate if they are not cheating then they are hopelessly incompetent . But when one team wins the soft free after obvious frees are ignored as happened numerous times in the last quarter then Im with the cheating conspiracy the...

Great Post Wallbanger

People can defend him , argue that he does enough for a fringe player ect vomit ect but

no one can deny that you are not 100% right!!!

well Blake was used as the back up ruckman last week .
Surely Allen would have been a better option up forward than a Gardiner who obviously wasnt match fit (or if he was well time to hang up the boots)

As Ive said time and again . When you want him to stand up in a pressure game (not a game where we are on top and clearing the ball easily from congestion) he goes missing . He did it again today . Doesnt man up , doesnt put on anywhere near the required pressure on the opposition . Not tough enough...

Should have been made to earn his place back with good performances with Casey?

turned into a rabble on the football field in the first 25 minutes of that last quarter ? And there was an even bigger rabble in the coaching box . How Lynch was able to run around without any pressure for the whole last quarter? You could see in the third quarter he was roaming up to our forward li...

Well Poor Ol Rossie is a glutton for punishment ! Like a punch drunk boxer he goes back for more punishment and gives Fiora YET another chance . How many times does the Stkilda football club have to have this guys inept , wont put my head over the ball , get the ball onto my foot quickly and with li...

A very ordinary first 3 quarters with a serviceable last quarter but once again very few contested possessions.

Dal wants to take possession of the ball AND avoid the collision.

Just worry about winning the ball. Forget about the bloody collision!!!

Ross Lyon ......is taking a team with some talent .........although admittedly on the way down but driving them down further with the way he wants them to play football.........

Thought it was a good game from Ferguson today. The guy can certainly take a mark and provided another option up forward. The others looked for him as well which shows they have confidence in his ability to win a contested situation . It was a magical hanger he took later in the game which deserved ...

Stewart won his third Brownlow at Richmond in 1971 (a year we were runner up).....if he won the Brownlow with us in a premiership he would overtake Harves.... [quote][/quote] Well BigMart Stewie did win the brownlow in the year we won the flag. Ian Stewart had everything , he was clean never fumbled...

Agree totally with the poster who said Fiora skirts around packs picking his contests.......Sometimes he goes and sometimes he pretends to go....... But there is rarely a game goes by when you need him to go hard at the ball and the man and take a hit , and the steps become smaller or he gets brushe...
