I have to imagine that Membrey coming in coincides with with Coops going out as Lyon has always been a structure man.

Likewise Butler comes in for Collard.

Hey everyone… was thinking about this for some odd reason yesterday. I’ve been on this site for just under 25 years and I am far from the elder statesman here. In fact, might not even make the top 10 and there are a lot of other forumites that have come on since and contributed a lot over many many ...

Deleted the extras

A few quick updates -
I’ve locked a thread RE Euro-Yuroke for reasons detailed in the thread and you’ll note if interested, there’s a separate topic about locked threads that’s open for discussion

On request, I’ve also merged numerous votes threads

On request I’ve merged the separate voting threads

I don’t lock many threads and frankly I’m quite happy to let political discussions go as long as they’re productive and respectful. Personally have no issue with politics separate to my own. But the reality is that I get to deal with the fall outs of these threads which includes reports, forumites g...

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, an...

Please no This is the fourth thread on Euro-Yorke on this forum and the second one that specifically equates the name somehow to performance. And they all go wildly off tangent quickly becoming about the personalities, turning quickly to attacks and in general wildly insensitive. Whilst acknowledgin...

That’s weird. I thought he was vying for the captaincy. Isn’t his nickname the miracle HFF of our times? I mean I thought it was a bit of a mouthful but he apparently hasn’t had a poor game this year for a HFF?

What an odd policy!?

This is always the aspect of RTB I’ve struggled with… a logic that’s very hard to follow with selections. That said… some would suggest it’s like shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic, I’ve always thought that it was hugely important in illustrating the themes/plan of what we’re striving for. Looking...

Pick 3 in the Draft - thread I removed a further post about Euro-Yuroke as it was not only irrelevant to the topic… but we’ve had 2 separate threads on the topic already. People have the right to like/dislike whatever but repeatedly bringing up the same contentious to unconnected threads just derail...

Mod Edit - post removed. Check the log for more info

You do realise JB has kicked bags of 5 and 4 And has 30-40 Brownlow votes He’s not a super star But he ain’t no dud either - he’s had Best on Ground performances in the AFL How many bags of 4s and 5s and how many Brownlow votes do you think he’s gotten this year? And last year? When was his last BO...

Not easy as a half forward to lead the way How many HFs in AFL a dominant leaders? I’m sure plenty have at least the odd good match in tough contest. No one is saying he has to consistently dominate but let me ask you this. If he was half forward for is last night… would you really have backed him ...

I’d have hoped for more. The challenge I see with him is that he only ever has good games when his team dominates. Never see him lead the way in a tough contest.

Have gone back and watched the replay… Kick really wasn’t that bad. Whilst I stand by my earlier post RE kick out pecking order… that one is entirely on Hill. Kick could have been better sure but it was very markable and wouldn’t constitute a Clanger. Unforced error by Hill and his opponent did get ...

I don’t mean to be rude… we already had this discussion… it devolved and ended up locked. Then we had the follow up thread which is in the animal enclosure. Not criticising the OP, as not everyone reads every thread but rather than going down that path again… You can check it out here and I’m going ...

Is it fitness?

RTB has a nasty habit of building fitness through the seniors

Has to be the midfield for mine. Here’s what’s alarming to me… King Membrey Owens Caminati Butler Sharman Higgins All looked like capable forwards at one point or another last year. With the exception of Higgins and noting Butler has missed with injury… All of them have looked like liabilities all s...

We have Sinclair and Wanganeen who are capable.

BOOM!!!

This is it. Thread closed. I don’t get it either.

Hill himself should be third in line

They are our worst 5 players

Sharman subbed off again

Wilson had 18 touches
Caminati kicked 2 goals

Hits and misses

I would have preferred Jones in ahead of Paton tonight

We played finals last year

Unless we get a better offer… I don’t want to go back to another Richo or Ratts

Yeah Paton is done IMO
