Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

Gee it has taken Ratten a long time to realise Hill is not a defender. He looked like a different player. I hope he never plays in the backline again. He is best used flexibly. He can still be a gun running off half back eg the Freo game this year. The thing that Ratts has realised this year is it'...

Sensational today.

I hope this makes us all feel a little bit better about the Hill move. It certainly made me feel better this week after being in iso with Covid. Ol mate Ross the Boss came out with something I wasn’t aware of (and not many people would be). He said on Wednesday’s Classified show that the person who...

It's good to have flexibility. If a player isn't working in one area they can move somewhere else. I'm sure we will see Hill back again as he can be a weapon there in the right game.

I thought Hill was clearly one of our best on Sunday. He shut up the Docker boos that's for sure... They probably lost their voices he had it that much.

Really doubt he plays. Wanganeen-Milera coming in, probably Highmore too.

First game in almost a year after snapping his achilles, and he was still one of our best.

Whatever the case I'm just praying for that good news story "Jones back at the club and ready to play". Would give us all a huge lift. Obviously we don't hear a lot about what's going on because it's private, but it must be a huge bummer for the players having their mate away from the club...

Why does Hill cop it after every loss? It's just weird.

I remember meeting someone that billeted St Kilda players and had lovely things to say about all of them but according to them Paddy was an absolute tool of the highest order, extremely arrogant and ungrateful. Unfortunately he also loved to smash beers and thought he could act like Plugger in the 9...

If Melbourne ordered a turd sandwich right now then people would say it's the next thing in food.

Hopefully he has been made to watch Reefer Madness a few times and can be back before round one.

If it had been in a real game I would have been ropeable.

The commentators were too naive to realise it but I'm sure that was against the rules, you can't push away the man on the mark.

It is most likely that the selectors will select the team to play Collingwood in Round 1 from the 26 players named last night, i.e. 18 + 8 on the extended bench, all of who played at some stage of the game. The only player in contention other than Bytel and the 4 emergencies - Joyce, Long, Campbell...

I believe Clark will become a very good player

Paton likewise

Coffield a bit like Acres
Wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up elsewhere

He's already better than Acres ever was.

Very hard to be optimistic after last year. I just think we are impossible to get a read on.

Honestly could see us anywhere from 1-18.

The start of the season will be crucial. Need to get off to a better start than last year.

Looks like Deliveroo is gone.

Any news on a new sponsor?

Any idea why ?

I assume Geary also didn't participate. I seem to recall he won it (or at least finished top 3) for quite a number of years in a row.

I think the young guys did a time trial last week. Apparently Alison won.

He is an excellent runner but the game is football. He can’t tackle, mark overhead or play tight on an opponent.

It's an improvement on last year and suggests he might be able to better use his weapon (running) to our advantage.

Steele is 25

That is depressing reading. Every one of our top ten picks has slid out of the top ten. Not one has advanced a ranking. Only one has maintained their position and even his twin brother has leapfrogged him. Not only does this obviously affect our ability to win games but the lack of star power serio...
