He is what he is Why is he compared to those player A lt of our best players don’t compare favourably to those you mentioned What’s interesting Billings can be best 18 in a very good team But last season he was being kept out of a finals team by a first year kid averaging 4 kicks per game. For me i...

Windsor is not playing on the wing In any event, have you actually watched what Billings is doing or are you just counting his possessions? Last night his second half was serviceable in that he managed to accumulate some good possessions. He laid some good tackles which was great to see one of which...

Can you direct me to the links where Sheehan is critical of a junior player potentially getting drafted? ….. Sure... https://www.afl.com.au/news/sheehan Are you seriously questioning the credibility of Sheehan? Not at all. His role is to help these kids get drafted. Just like a Real Estate agents j...

Be mindfull of the fact that the marketeers who write the draft bios also write the blurbs for wine labels. Without being disrespectful, I'd trust Kevin Sheehan's words over yours anyday. Would have forgotten more about junior talent than all of us on this site would know. Mattaes Phillipou State: ...

Kid kicks goals in big moments. Takes screamers. Gets a rising star nomination. Played in a finals. More than what most achieved… would you rather Elijah Tstatas? Doing his ACL? In and out of team. Can’t hit a target? You are all fools. Kid will be a gun. Mate his first 5 games were very good for a...

Why isn’t he just compared to other HFs

Ie, compare him to ours?!

Maybe because he’s playing on the wing

Im all for Mattaes to be dropped, but the constant bashing and making him the new whipping boy is beyond a joke old boys. I can think of a few players who are worse *cough* Byrnes *cough* You all need to just CALMA DOWN Whipping Boy? What about you guys proclaiming he’s going to be a star calm down...

He’s in the mould of Bont / Fyfe / Tom Green. Why? What have you seen from his 30 games so far that allows the comparison? He’s that big bodied midfielder that kicks goals. I Except he's not. Not even close. The only thing we can say about him so far is that he's big bodied. He's looked completely ...

No comparison to Roo at the same stage of his career. None at all. Definitely not.... 2001Nick waltzes into Harvard - Gehrig, Everitt, Loewe, Hall...with Hamill, Hayes, Harvey, Milne in the mid and small forwards....SUPPORT. ALL DAY EVERY GAME...for years. King crawls into Frankston TAFE and he's g...

Unfortunately, there are times when attending AFL matches you do not feel safe This is because of the reactions at what is transpiring on the field by certain in the audience (so the other side of the fence from the players and the umpires) Then you read what some contribute to these sites I would ...

I assume those calling for Schoenmaker to come in against the Hawks haven't watched any of the Zebras games he's played. To put it simply: he doesn't go hard at the ball in the way that one would expect an AFL player to do. And Pou does? Am I living in a parallel universe? Am I the only one who see...

Brave? How is he brave?

Phillipou plays HB he averages 20 per game Not where his confidence is at atm he wouldn’t. I think the point is Sinclair went back to the 2’s, built up his body, learnt the position, got some confidence THEN came back into the 1’s, and look what an elite player he is! I fear we will never know how ...

You underestimate how easy it is to play HB And how tough it is to play HF Ask Harry Sheezel, Colby McKercher, Nasiah Or even Arie Schoenmaker in the VFL You defend corridor at CB then after the HFs go up to the contest, you sit back and play 6 v 4 in defence and 8/10 entries get an easy unconteste...

Mattaes Phillipou averages 12.4 disposals per match over his first 32 games of AFL football. He had a career low 5 disposals in his 32nd match. Jack Sinclair averaged 12.4 disposals per match over his first 32 games of AFL football. He had a career low 3 disposals in his 27th match. The other thing...

Some absolute couch fools on this forum. Anyone who watched the game live would know Luke McDonald, being the opponent focused tool that he is, was at Phillipou from the first minute. Pushed, poked, punched and scragged Mattaes all game. He didn’t give him an inch. Something Phillipou has never exp...

Hayes for Caminiti Wood for Sharman Webster for Cordy King for ... Higgins? I'd love to see King play like a forward pocket. Reckon he'd kick more goals that way. How exactly? It’s not the 90’s anymore. No one plays positions anymore. Talls play deep forward or mid forward. He’d have the same oppon...

How do they measure this pressure rating thing? Personally I reckon it's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard of. Our pressure was good on Friday night. Was poor against the Dogs the previous game. We're just not strong enough to hold the tackles. We're laying the tackles but the opposition is a...

1 thing Pou has shown - he’s very clean in congestion….and we have loads of headless chooks His 1 take quick hands indicate he’s got skills I’m not calling it yet on him Yep agree on that. Did some beautiful work with his hands on Friday night. Thught he might have turned a corner actually. But the...

Come in DB Cooper, Loris and Willard Saint because you are all exactly who I am referring to And I back in the knowledge of the likes of Lyon, Enright, Harvey, Hayes and Goddard over the nonsense you all contribute here They have all at the very least actually played the game at the level The peopl...
