The minute you detect the management ranks deflecting all responsibility on to the employees, you know you’re f***ed! ‘Lethers’ isn’t a hard man, he’s a spiv from HQ come to shore up mediocrity, and protect the hierarchy from accountability. Come the lawyers from HQ, come the decline. Finnis and Le...

The players started well but lost control later when they were executing the plan well. Many weren't responsive to what was required. First bite at that should have come from Leadership on the ground. With a few goals kicked against the team the coach then must act to change up the process or a blo...

A note to fellow travellers this morn, after soaking up 'Lethers' latest statements; "Lethlean has joined the Richardson school, and is now pitching in to protect the management ranks from any and all responsibility, by……………………..? …………..sticking it all on the players, of course! "My view a...

Kind of worries me that so many on this forum are impressed by somebody like Matt Finnis and are afraid to call him out. A slick spiv used car salesman in a suit. This kind of blow-in-blow-out spiv is the reason we only have 1 flag in 130 years. Disgraceful comment. I know Matt well and he's not on...

BHP Billiton (BHP:AUS) have benefited from the greatest mining boom in global history. That is better than getting the first 15 picks in each of 3 super draft years. BHP earnings per share (Morningstar figure) 2008 = $2.586 2009 = $2.236 2010 = $2.373 2011 = $3.302 2012 = $2.854 2013 = $2.159 2014 ...

Reality check for those making excuses. Paddy McCartin - 34 goals from 35 games. 22 years old. Average team. Charlie Curnow - 51 goals from 40 games. 21 years old. s*** team. Eric Hipwood - 68 goals from 45 games. 20 years old. s*** team. Either of those two broke a collarbone or been knocked out 3...

No doubt he was poor; but I’ve never seen a forward able to kick bags when the only delivery he gets are munged helicopters, hospital passes, grubbers or 15m either side of him. I have, but he was the greatest player I’ve ever seen. Been away for a while, but am 'inspired' to stick my oar back in. ...

Pav already had 80 AFL goals at the age Paddy is at now. Only 46 goals short I guess.... At 21 Plugger had kicked 117 in a season, won a Brownlow and a Coleman. Those numbers mean Pav must have been ordinary. We are comparing players at similar ages or games right? Pav was a young star in the makin...

Pav already had 80 AFL goals at the age Paddy is at now. Only 46 goals short I guess.... What’s your point? I have several. 1. Pav's broadcast opinion may not reflect his private opinion. Broadcasters jobs are to promote the game, entertain and sell advertising. Not tell the truth. 2. McCartin is w...

The comments are justified. Unfair to attack posters who have been more than patient with some of our high draft picks. McCartin on the list now for 4 years, Billings for 5 years. They are both average plodders at best. How many kicks of Billings were smothered today? He hardly wins his own ball, s...

Recommend people watch the replay and listen to Pavlich’s comments think he would have more of a clue than the usual suspect who does nothing but s*** can players. Why dont you just f*** off Con you dumb prick. Oh that’s right you did in a look at me look at me post but like a bad smell returned yo...

I think Paddy would have been embarrassed by his game today. He does look like he has trouble judging a high ball and never seems to use his size to upset the opposition. I appreciate he is a fragile commodity but really, if you can't mark overhead or kick straight and are a slow big lump, make a d...

He wasn't hard at the contests.
It looked like he wasn't trying!

Nonsense, the whole of it.

3 on 1 all night with some of the worst delivery of the pill anyone is ever likely to see. Let's throw another in, PRW - can anyone explain why McC was sent back in the first stanza, immediately after he came back on after tweaking his ankle, even though we were dominating field position and inside...

And here's me thinking that you had your "maggot love glasses"on when watching saints games. :wink: No mate. I just don’t buy the notion that they’re deliberately out to get us, or anyone for that matter. Further to the earlier, St.B, and because I agree with you that it's not a deliberat...

I posted this in July 2016. Nothing has changed. In the last ten years West Coast Eagles : First or second in 'Free Kicks For" every year except one when they were fourth. Last or second last in "Free Kicks Against" every year bar one. The least free kicks against an astonishing six ...

Clark isn't any more a HBF than Stephenson is a HFF. Both were used on the outside at the carnival and both played more midfield for their TAC clubs. Clark was the better of the two. 26.7 disposals; 13.5 contested; 6.2 clearances and 6.6 tackes per game for Clark versus 23.2 disposals; 10.5 contest...
