interesting in recent times this type of player and time line sees a similar pick to where they were originally selected.

My guess would cost a late first rounder ?

contracted so for once we hold the whip hand here.

Anyone else think we went in against Brisbane with too many talls? The game changed when a running player, Byrnes, came on for Battle. We had Cordy Wilkie, Battle down back, with Hayes, Membrey Sharman as the tall forwards. But we also have Owens and the Pou who are hybrid forwards who compete in t...

f*** resting King...I'd be giving him as much game time as possible. bad move. how long is Seb out ? we need him bad. Wouldn't be surprised if Max's shoulder is just hanging in there and they are afraid one big hit will be enough. I don't mind him skipping this game and being ok for the finals. I t...

Who were your favorite Mc (something) or Mac (Something) players over the years?

Mc Adam and Mc Conville for me

Media always looking for a pin up boy, especially in this society we currently have . It is no ones business but their own , and really who cares. Like ma y have said there are openly gay AFLW, Soccer Mne and Women, Netball and NBL & WNBL, but not openly AFL - and the only logical reason is the ...

Love your work

Trivia question for the older people here - who remembers the name of the first Irish guy we recruited. Played 3 games off memory?

Says" I have been w..w..ww...wr.....w..rong....all season." What a f***wit. Caro stayed mute.......which you all have to admit, is a f****** improvement. not a fan but at least had the courage to admit he was wrong. King picked Geelong to win by 5 goals and now is all over us, Changes pos...

Hope he is retained, has something we lack in regard to elite foot skills and poise. Just needs some continuity of games. He will never be a superstar but what he could be is the cream to go along with Steele, Owens, Nasiah , King , which great teams have. Agree but I think the club are looking for...

Jack Hayes. Can give Roma a chop-out. Give us a big body up forward. Versatile and can play a number of roles. Good, competitive guy to have on the show. Or Coffield if he’s right Huge risk to go with any big as a sub. mid gets inj or concussion then too top heavy , where as if big goes down easier...

To me I would see this as a logical move and sub being one of Billings or if they want to potentially use him in finals Coffield.

So how much do you pay him to keep him? What's he worth to us (contract wise) to stay? If he was offered 600-700k by NM (or anybody else), would you match/beat that to keep him? Similar question re Gresham - how much are you prepared to offer to keep him? That is the big question, which really appl...

Interesting take on the list, and agree it isn't too bad, but a coach with a clear plan and players understanding their role and requirements helps . Def: So much of the AFL now days is systems and ability to help off ,however the ability to beat you man 1 on 1 if key to the top defence. Collingwood...

No one, unless carrying an injury or really sore that 2 weeks not playing will significantly help. Reasons: - Don't mess with Form; - Week off before finals; - Ideally want to give yourself the best chance at a home final. - Have a real belief at the moment and sends a message that we don't believe ...

Melbourne weren't great yesterday so i would think they will be keen to keep momentum going , yes if guys sore rest but they have a pretty healthy list and guys are playing for spots. Oliver only just back so needs time. Syd- papley out McCartin out Or i am just being hopeful?? Easy beat Brisabne .....

Old fashion footballer, not tall, not athletic not overly quick but smart, uses body well and knows where the ball is going .
hopefully celebrates with a win

I mentioned in previous post - look to trade up most saying a top 10 strong draft (exc GC academy players) CG need points Potential free agency or trade provides additional second rounder. We have a good base but need more high level talent and if we can get that to 6 pick and finish somewhere 6-10 ...

Can't back the marks section but put the other legs together you will get $32.75 same game multi.

Hope you are correct!

I actually wouldn't make any changes this week. Clark again as the sub Keys to beating Geelong IMO: Sharman to play a role against Stewart like he did on Scilliy Time needs to be put into Dangerfield Marshall to push to dangerous positions as Stanley can get lost in traffic and doesn't defend great....

Remember when he jumped the fence at punt road to avoid the press , ran across punt road and jumped on a train at richmond station .
Now that was funny

The what ifs on the same day different clubs:
- if we had of taken Petracca instead of MCartin
- If we had of taken Nic Natt instead of Watts

sliding doors

Peter Daicos was quoted today claiming that the 4 umpires has been a bad move by the AFL, citing a recent case of an umpire 50m away from play running in and over-ruling a closer umpire to award a free kick, which is crazy. It is certainly working for the gun full forwards as it seems the umps are ...

And why at this stage unless a Heath or Campbell can play as a legit forward option playing either as a 2nd ruck isn't going to make us better. Hayes maybe has that skill set but otherwise the 15 min in total in a game is worth the risk as opposed to the rest of the game carrying a player.
