Saw his 1st games, i was sitting with his 2 aunties and they were snapping as many shots off as they could i think he had 1 touch for the night, a xhanked kick for goal. Who would of thought that the same young man was going to become the gun he is going to be. Love the Big Ben Ball went through hi...

People often say that when our best players are up and about, it brings everyone else up with them. But I i think a few players had very encouraging days despite that fact. Particularly Peake, who was very impressive. Eddy - I really like his absolute determination and hardness at the contest, it is...

Can now see this kid will be a star for us. I do believe it will be between him and Cyril as the choice picks of their draft. Given our ruck situation, absolute kudos for the recruitment staff for their decision. Pleasing. Big call. Hope you're right. i think he is right. this guy's is going to be ...

It all comes down to the question whether or not Blake and Gwilt can cover the two key forwards.

It will come down to each match being judged on the individual match ups...

I would say that it would be a straight swap Pattison for Gardiner until Gardi's ready to come back.

Stanley is too lean to be a ruckman, and Kosi is better than him in the forward line.

Mention of the Bulldogs and Geelong games can be slightly deceiving given their forward line structure. Last year the Dogs did not have a strong traditional full forward so Zac's role in the team would have been to man up on the resting ruckman, but otherwise he wasn't really needed. Similarly Geelo...

Lyon will have to rely on second hand information as to how he went/goes.

Good luck mate

Will you be watching him? Are you in Melbourne?

If so, feel free to report back here and let us know how well he played.

One loss to Collingwood does not mean that Geelong is limping to the line... not even seemingly. They had been flying since we beat them and hadn't even reached top gear. And there biggest asset is the immense confidence they have in themselves, which will not be dented from one loss. They know when...

i wasnt saying he was a plodder. hes only 19 or something. and geary and eddy are still only kids also. im just saying in general. that we are going for a flag in 2010 and we are at a stage where we might needs to take a risk or 2 in the next few weeks. what i mean is - we know what those guys i me...

is it just me, ort does it say something about our depth that every time a replacement for an injured player is discussed, talk always seems to turn to someone making his debut. Is this perhaps not ideal 4 weeks from the finals? spot on. It's pathetic really. We have as much depth as a dry salt lak...

With Raph now out for the season, we will probably be looking for some sort of like for like replacement. I've hardly seen Miles play, but from all accounts he is a reliable defender with speed to attack with. He hardly gets a mention here, so would someone with more knowledge on Luke care to predi...

Good luck to whoever makes the cut - but gee I thought Smith would at least make the 25 - even just to give him some encouragement for his efforts :shock: let him have another ripper game in Sandy. he won't be the difference between winning and losing this week so we might as well give him a little...

He can play in key position role of CHB,FB or even up forward. Has been inconsitant had a few good games ,but is still on the list would like to see a nother season out of him he is only 19. What happens if one of the key position players go down at 193 cm could fill a role like stanley did. Cahill...

This can't be right...

Sandringham Zebras: Round 16 Teams: IN – Lynch, J.Geary, Peake, C.Jones, Steven, Sands, Hutchings, Armitage, McEvoy

OUT – McQualter, Eddy

one of the most intriguing list of in's i've seen since the start of ross's tenure.

He was elevated from the rookie list this year, so there must have been something there that the coaches liked. If he wasn't going to make it, he wouldn't have been able to stay around for as long as he has.

Don't write him off just yet.

just one ruckman? not happening...

A different type of backman though, but also capable of producing run and rebound.

sorry, that wouldn't be a recall. just a call.

Heard a fair bit about Simpkin lately but can anyone tell me if hes had and good games on AFL listed players? Also as I havnt seen him play who does he closely resemble in style of play and whats his kicking skills like? I have heard he is in the Gilbert mould in the way he can mark over-head and h...

Bad call. Our backline is under undue pressure because the midfield is being smashed in the clearances. Kosi as backup ruck, Stanley to the forward line and McEvoy out. Good call or bad call? Bad call. Mcevoy has had somewhat of a breakout year, and if Kosi can force him out of the team based only ...

You are wrong on this one buddy. Which part isnt true? some sort of oakleigh brotherhood perhaps? I heard a rumor that Plugger66 is actually Oakleighboy's father...Perhaps one of them can confirm.. Good call. I think Oakleigh boy should be grounded. Good call or bad call. Am I on the right thread? ...

Good Call, obvious call, far too easy call. He will be all over it, although they will find pletny of time to discuss our poor form with Roo coming on. Lenny deserves a flag just as much as Banger did, good call bad call? Bad call, too early call. Banger went for countless more years without a flag...
