I think Stanley was good for us as it meant we won something on Grand Final Day - The Grand Final sprint. I don't see Bruce doing that. But I'd rather have Bruce than Stanley from what I've seen so far, IMHO. I liked Rhys, he has ability but no self belief. I hope he succeeds down at Geelong. That ...

I would imagine AR is trying to win games so im doubting he is picking players hoping we lose. I wouldn't be staking my house on that. I would think this year is all about draft positions/choices and little else. This is an unsubstantiated pile of horse manure, and a serious accusation. Tanking, ar...

its round 5 Con's right imho. I agree that Saad should be dropped, not that we can rule a line through his name forever. If he slays the VFL then he comes in again. Also I wouldn't be bringing Minchington in instead, really the last thing we need is another small forward… much rather see more mids ...

Bitsy Titsy will be crying into her lentils! Who is Big Titsy? Mayor at the time. As someone else pointed out though the real problem was Alabaster not Topsy. So what was Alabaster's problem? He wanted to plant trees in the car park. he was a fool and cost us plenty. You could blame him - clearly m...

I would have to disagree with you on that. 70+ years of misery, failure and being ripped off should make one wary of repeating past mistakes.

Out: McCartin (we need to be patient, will be a gun); Shenton; Curren; Schneider & Saad In: Riewoldt (hopefully); Weller; Webster, Acres & Montagna Why would you want to drop Schneider? Well they wont and its silly suggesting it. It will happen but not whilst he is doing better than most. W...

A very good point.

He was a gamble at best. As are all rookies... Saad has played some good football at afl level, most draftees never get there... He may not become a consistent afl player, but with our 3rd rookie pick he was worth the risk. Worst case is that Lonie & Sinclair keep him out of the side which is a...

Does AR just generate any excitment or passion and love for the club? He is obviously a great bloke and very considered, but struggles with his match day coaching! Granted he doesnt have the cattle - but he also needs to considerably improve his selectikn approach and positional moves during match ...

Saad played a couple of good games in his first year. None in his second and certainly, from what I hear and read, none this year.

He was a gamble at best.

Yeah i dropped him in another thread - thought he was ineffectual in the 2nd half - need a ruckman to be able to hurt the opposition offensively which I think Hickey can do moreso than Longer - sure he got a lot of hitouts but to what effect?? Obviously he is learning a will continue to improve but...
