Re: Phillipou

He's 18. OK game.
Surely we can accept that billings ain't going to win us anything and accept that bont was probably the better choice

Mitch Owens

posting for sh!T's and giggles. And also to confirm that I'm mad. But Mitch Owens tonight (and has previously) reminds me of a young Wayne Carey. Obviously plays up and over the ground more which is the way footy is played now. But he is huge in the air and keeps in the game as he comes to ground. ...

Re: YOUR CHOICE FOR NEXT COACH

How about the best person for the job selected by people who have been successful in recent years and have little links to the applicants. Lyon was selected this way and as a coach was great. No more than 1 Stkilda person on the panel either - perhaps Roo. People like Buckley, Worsfold, Selwood sho...

Re: Gallagher on draft and trading strategy

Shame there is no like button. My sentiments exactly (aside from the first para cos I just ignore all that). We were off the mark this year but not that far...King playing a bit better and one or two players stepping up and we beat Lions and Swans (who finish 2 and 3/4) and make the 8. From memory M...

Player height

Hi all, been a while since I have posted but feel frustrated enough to do so tonight. My key observation of our list is that we often play too many small players. In my view a midfielder should be around 6 foot 2. If smaller they must have super skills and agility. I just can't see, if gresh and bil...

Re: Welcome home Mr R Harvey

I just don't get why we would pick Harves as a senior coach. I know you don't have to be an intellectual giant to become a senior coach but Harves has never struck me as the type that is a 'thinker' of the game or a great communicator. He was a legend player but we shouldn't allow him to tarnish his...

The Goddard trade/non trade is the biggest decision of Pelchin's career. If we keep him and he walks next year for nothing we will be gutted, He'll be a free agent and I'm pretty sure other clubs will be able to out bid us.

Easily the best currency we have if we decide we need to refresh with youth.

I've spoken to two colleagues of mine, one whose sun plays colts at Claremont and one who is a trainer at E.Perth and they both reckon that both kids are beauties. The Claremont boy is a bit short and was likened to Barry Cable. Reckons he could be anything.

He seriously chopped up the GF. I think he'll go to Eagles after they trade pick 30 or something to the Goldy who have first dibs on him. If you don't want him at the Saints then you have not seem him play this year.

I play darts at the East Freo footy club and his old man's photo is all over the wall as a multiple B&F. I must say that I never rated him but he's come good this last month and a bit and his finals performances have been very good. If he plays like that again next week and we win a GF I think h...

I had similar feelings. I said to a few people at the game that it didn't feel like a prelim final. I think Collingwoods performance against *Geelong* has taken some of the excitement away for me. They are in some seriously awesome form and I was hoping we would be playing Geelong. I'm glad we are ...

Fit Roo

Last year Roo went OK in the GF but did not tear apart the game against a solid opponent in Taylor. This year he is much fitter with the break having done him good heading into this week. Here is hoping that Nick can step up and dominate ala Carey, Brown, Dermie and etch his name into footy folklore...
