Clark. Just.

Paton? Just bad luck. Hill and Hind off halfback. Coff and and Wilkie as interceptors. Dougal and Chip. That's a dream defensive dream team.

Max is a gun. He will be fine. Give the kid a break, as Alice Cooper famously sang.

I'm glad he gets 2 games in a row. Just to be sure, to be sure.

So being traded wouldn't have lit the fuse or was it that no one took up Melbourne's offer? Different types of motivations for different types of personalities. I do believe he'd look better on our list than McKernan, Hunter, Joyce & Wood. Dont give up on Joyce he is improving each week... Don'...

Our side needs a Baker desperately..

Every side needs a Baker.

We used to have a beauty.

We need a butcher and a candlestick maker. We already have a Butler.

The efficacy of helmets is a highly contentious topic of research. Many say they they are useless in preventing concussion and that they are only good at preventing head wounds. The Jacinta Barlclay findings will no doubt throw a huge scare into the AFL industry. Perhaps justified. It seems nothing ...

I know nothing about these 3 fellas but at least we don't get the Glouftsis experiment

I wonder if Mr Glouftsis gets to experiment ?

I just got a little bit of sick in my mouth reading that. Yuk.

Carlisle has had his last chance. His attitude and body language say it all. Stick a fork in him. He's cooked.

He belongs in the GOP folder with McKenzie, Dunstan and Lonie. VFL only. 50 games, 5 years, 11 possessions per game average. That's a pretty fair sample. Not up to it. In racing parlance, prefer others.

Even outside the hub, he still has a better win loss record than Richo.

What on earth has happened to Carlisle? I don’t know if it’s his attitude... or the coach’s complete lack of faith in him has rattled his confidence... or it’s injury... or most likely some combination of all of these. He was a vital cog in our defence when we had the best backline this club had se...

Ratts is way better than Richo. The win-loss ratios say it all. Richo a dud, further hobbled by hopeless recruiting and list management. Richo has the unwanted record of the worst win-loss record of any coach who coached as many games as he did.

"Scoreboard nourishment" is now officially added to the lexicon of AFL "bulls*** bingo." Think hamstring awareness, he's two weeks away, etc..

What are the other classics, forumites?

That's a fair cop, guv.

Wasn't Ratten being lauded as a genius last year? 14th to 5th. Not a bad effort for a bloke who can't coach. He proved he could coach when he got the rabble at Carlton into finals and was dumped, prematurely. My Carlton barracking mates would welcome him back with open arms. From what I've seen thi...

Although I'm happy with Clark and Coffield, we passed on Aaron Naughton. That could haunt us in the future.

I’ve had coffee a couple of times with Chris Pelchen and he told me the following. Pelchen remember was moved on before the draft but shortly before he left the decision was to take Petracca. When it was announced on Radio they had taken Mc Cartin, Pelchen moved to the side of the road and called E...

Recruiting, recruiting and still bloody recruiting. Its like its our club calling to continually f...up draft choices year after, decade after decade. We would no doubt have the highest number of players (spuds) to have played single figure games for the club and then go off into obscurity and neve...

Most of the time Ben makes good decisions. People are just looking for negatives. No one’s perfect. Ratten identified his strengths and encouraged Ben to play his natural attacking game. Most of the time he is very good and accurate by foot and his chains lead to scoring How dare a young player mak...

Good one f***wit

I see you’ve changed a few nics over the years. What’s your next reincarnation? Gunna call yourself Hansen or Bolt?

And you've just made my point for me. Poor little victim. All my problems are down to whitey. Typically pathetic.

The Lyle Lanley of footy!!!

He's gone on to have a great career recruiting with North Haverbrook, Brockway and Ogdenville. Gold, BM.
