Re: Congested & Less Interesting

I haven't posted for a long time . I've been enjoying the Saints under Richardson, they are allowed to show a bit of flair. But games are awful now live, they are actually better on TV where you can see the close skills and quick thinking. I've been to two games in the past month, Saints v Dogs in M...

best st kilda team

I struggle to change anything about St Patrick's ( we've seen the same years) . Maybe I'd pop Fraser Gehrig in the back pocket in place of Jeff Dunne, but then again maybe Nathen Burke should get that spot .

1971 Grand Final

Is this wrong ? I wasn't QUITE as shattered by the loss as I should have been becasue my hero Barry Lawrence towelled up P Hudson when moved on him , and was BOG . It's a bit like pretending to be as upset as everyone else when the team you're playing in loses but you've played a ( rare ) blinder .

Umpires and Kosi

As we know, Kosi can be a great contested mark, a talent which has become more important as long kicks are used to get over a press. But he doesn't twist in the air or take the acrobatic mark - he comes in a straight line whether from the side or straight towards the incoming ball and launches on th...

Two really good posts this morning Joffaboy - too many posters heaping abuse on this poor damaged girl who is a tragedy about to happen, and too few getting the point back to Nixon's stupidy - not to mention his own responsibiity . Bloke who is still having a perm at his age - says it all.

At the risk of returning to the topic, one of the commentators in the Essendon game made a good point , that Kosi appears to have a high centre of gravity and is easily pushed over. They specualted that he needed more strength in his thighs and quads. I'm sure the rest of the AFL has woken up to thi...
