Re: Marshall. Ruckman, forward or a bit of both?
This will be one of the key questions of this season. While we all know the impact RoMo has as a ruckmen and midfielder, but as a FWD he would cause such problems for the opposition defenders and would also give us a really well balanced forward line. He can take a big mark, will bring the ball to g...

Thanks for that!👍 Billings Long Clak Jones outstanding King kicked 4-5 King probably should have kicked a few more...put one out on the full, dropped a sitter running into an open goal and missed a set shot dead in front. But he had presence and made his more experienced opponents think twice. Jone...

Re: Do you honestly think bringing in 5 traded players was the right move?
The fact that there are 5 players traded in is not an issue. The success and/or failure relates to who the players that came in. Hill & Jones makes us a better team. Hill gives us that outside run and drive that we have lacked for a long time, ditto Jones, massive plus for our team. Howard seems...

Re: Left field Trade Ideas
Is there any possibility that the Club are prepared to let Bruce go because they're thinking (long term) Ryder - 1st ruck Marshall - CHF (relieving ruck) Battle replaces him when he goes into ruck Winks - FF Membrey - HFF B King - FB (replacing Brown) Carlisle - CHB - Battle eventually take his spo...

Re: Left field Trade Ideas
Jarryd Roughhead as a rookie? Would be a good teach for younger players and could be our 2nd backup ruck man just in case....Not sure of his condition, but looks pretty fit. Could still perform his current role.

Re: Reports Saints in for Chris Masten
Why do people get so up in arms about “decisions” that haven’t and most likely won’t be made. It’s very unlikely that Masten will even be considered! As for Ryder, he is coming cheap and will be a perfect backup ruckman if the unthinkable happens and Marshall goes down. it’s pretty obvious that you ...

Ha ha, understand where you might be coming from, but it is just a forum for people to do just that.

Re: Round 17 Team v North Melb
Bit disappointed with the team. Have absolutely no idea why you would play Gwilt ahead of Bruce, even if Gwilt was in form! And if you are going to rush anyone in I wish it was Acres. The remaining games this season is about finding out which middle of the road players will be part of the future, we...

Re: Team
Ridiculous to leave Bruce out again - Richmond have brought back Vickery to stretch our defence as WCE did last week. Once again the coaching staff to expect Gwilt to play tall? Problem being Gwilt is now the worst key defender in the comp he must have caused at 5 goals against last week he is disg...

Re: Team
Really disappointed for Murdoch, not really given an opportunity to prove himself.
Why not play him? He looks pretty solid and is the exact type of player that we need to get games into.

Re: Hit outs
You might be able to find examples where winning the hitouts does not equate to winning the game, however I think the majority of times the winner of hitouts will equate to a win. If you look through history, there would be times when the team with less inside 50s have won but would you say that tha...

Re: Cameron for our first pick? YES!!
Would you be willing to part with either Steven or Armo plus our 1st round pick? Armo yes. Steven no. Maybe get them to include one of their top 20 picks as a sweetener and get another outside mid. . This is so unlikely to happen.... But if he is out of contract and chooses us, GWS would have to ta...

Re: Reflecting on our Preseason thoughts, we're doing ok
Forward line the key. Stanley and Lee are the keys. Need some high marking, pack breaking FWs who can provide a target and straighten us up. If one of them can be that man, then regardless of everything else, that would mean we are on the right track. If not (even if they are) we need to focus our a...

Re: Most valuable commodities
Jack is a good player... Not elite. Disagree...I think he is elite, although not in peak form. Apart from not being 100% fit, he is also is struggling with the extra attention, from not having Dal Santo around to take some heat. Even elite players (excl GAJ) need to get used to being tagged. Also w...

Re: Most valuable commodities
Reckon Stanley is worth more that Joey on the open market. He has the potential to ba a superstar with a good team around him. Joey's close to the end of his career. I would totally disagree at the moment. Joey would be a 20 to 30 pick. If Stanley was delisted i doubt he would get picked up. I thin...

Re: Final List Structure for 2014
After Roo, a bit light-on for Tall FWs although could fix that with a year of tanking and smart selections in next years draft.
Apart from that, the list of young players (<24) are really starting to take shape.

Re: Snare a couple of big names for 2015?
Yes, we should be in the position to snare a big name player in 2015/16 but hopefully it would be a trade, not FA. There would not be a FA that would suit our age bracket as they would have to be at least 26 to be a FA. We would want to somehow snare a big name player in a trade. Maybe someone who w...

Re: Jimmy to re-establish himself
Wasn't really fit, especially match fit when he came back. I agree with HTB. A full preseason and better match ups could be the tonic that he needs.

Jimmy to re-establish himself
Over the past couple of seasons Jimmy Gwilt has been a victim of circumstance and injury. The lack of a genuine Full Back has meant that Jimmy has had to play in a position not suited to him and was often left out to dry. Before Dawson left and when Fisher was fit and flying, Jimmy was able to pick ...
