[quote="Red"]King has been smashed 3 weeks in a row. If we are going to smashed in the ruck you might as well develop a young player. Get rid of him. If only they'd stop trying to play Kosi in the ruck and bring in a true ruckman, such as Gardiner or McEvoy, then and only then we will see ...

SPOT ON!!!!

Has been this way for way to long

IN: Armitage, Both Clarkes, M Gardiner. OUT: Jones, Geary, Fiora......+ Someone else, possibly a tall. Haven't really thought about it too much. But the INS need to happen. Jones??? Amongst other things he landed 7 tackles... He has also put in over many games, compared to others that playa game an...

You forgot No.26, some of his first and second efforts were disgraceful last night to say the least.

Absolutely shattered!!!

Far to one dimensional, if Rooey has an average night then we don't kick enough goals.

Everybody but the coach can see we need another marking option permanently in our forward line, surely Allen or Charlie will play this week.

Maybe even the G Train could be an option.

MG had a dog of a day. Wasn't the first... won't be the last. King is in form, so that's a plus. However, he will always have a fitness cloud over his head. Hence the need for a scapable back up... which MG now appears to be. In full flight, MG is good... very good. Also brings some agression to th...

Is Bally ok or has the dreaded OP got hold of him again??? He was far from our worst player on Saturday,don't get me wrong. But just of late I have noticed that the gut running he was doing earlier in the season seems to have slowed as well as his kicking seems to lack the penetration that it had ea...

obviously two ruck men but I said lumbering types you and I can walk faster than mg runs we need options so the second ruckman needs to be a more running type who can cover off on other areas ( I give you kosi and jb) Only robbing Peter to pay Paul there!!! Kosi nearly has to play forward to take t...

the year is 2008 not 1978

we cannot afford two slow lumbering rucks in the same side EVER

Kings form is ok so MG must go

to play them both gives us very limited options

Ok, name a Premiership team in the last 8yrs which hasn't had two ruckman!!!!

Kosi's a definite as is Fiora to go out, indefinetely . Houghton out injured, Armo to go back and get some form . Seriously have to have a look at bringing in another marking option up forward as well, either Charlie or Allen. Three talls would stretch Ports under sized defence too. Birss must be du...

That would've been Dal Santo. Staker could have had both legs amputated and he still would've ran away from Dal, as Dal wasn't interested in manning up or chasing!!! I'd say RL must've given Dal a fair serve at half time as he came out with a different attitude, all too late as the damage was done. ...

Simple the West Coast aren't as bad as their form suggest, still had 14 premiership players running around on Saturday. Worsfold might just have learnt from Ratten "The Art of TANKING", he has made no secret of the fact that he is very keen on the two WA players who are both predicted to g...

We can't beat Port,we are their bunnies,i have no expectations for the game on Sunday..i'm preparing myself for a season ending loss.... Would usually agree, as Port seem to have had our measure for the last 6 yrs, but I think Mark Williams is shrewd enough to know that they can't afford to win any...

Actually think that he's been out of the closet for quite some time, even his old team can't stand him

VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED

To be honest I'd pencilled this one in as a WIN, now we've got to beat our bogey side Port Adelaide.
Mark Williams must laugh everytime we play them, as I think we've probably only beaten them once or twice in the last 6 years.

How about just getting off Kosi's back.

I'm sure if we did trade him next year and he does what just about all the other blokes we've let go because they were no good, just look at the Wakelins, then everyone would be asking WHY and HOW did we let this bloke go.......

Cousins....no

Rejuvenate through the draft should be priority no. 1

Your probably right, but don't be surprised if we miss out on Kerr.
I can see us, along with at least 10 other clubs, trying to secure Cousins' signature.

I never said Kosi will leave.

I said he will be traded.

His supposed love of the club is irrelevant, he is not up to it.

Won't happen, it's more likely we'll trade one of our outside midfielders (something with got far too many off) before Kosi!!!

CJ is easily the most improved player on our list, from the start I always loved the ferocity with which he attacked both the ball and the opposition. Has clearly been working overtime on his disposal. Will be in our best 22 for the rest of the year without doubt, and with another solid pre-season h...
