Re: Just a dirty day in the office

We are well on the way to being a decent side. There's a few vets in the team who can't play under pressure and a few kids with the same issue. The vets will be dropped or retire and the kids will improve or make way for others. You gotta like the endeavour for the contest and the way Richo is inst...

Re: Changes for next week

Ross and Ray the obvious ones with a pretty good chance of being dropped. A change in the backline as well with Cameron dominating. I reckon either Delaney or Goddard come in for a medium defender. Then there's Roo who has a calf strain he must be unlikely. I think Longer should get off with a fine ...

Re: Patton

By that logic why get new mids when we already have young unproven mids on the list Membrey isn't a KPP, Bruce is on,y one player... I'm not dissing Paddy, but surely ppl have learnt by now not to put all our eggs in the one basket IMO Bruce and Paddy and to a lesser degree Membrey (only 20 remembe...

A lot of our players haven't 'made it' however they are 'projected' to do so.

We also have Bruce AND Membrey, Paddy isn't the only one.

Re: Patton

Bruce, McCartin and Membrey as tall forwards with Lonie, Billings and Sinclair rotating forward/midfield. The forward like is our strength across the field.

Re: mock draft 2015

Adam Treloar is listed at 181 cm and seems clubs prepared to throw millions at him. Would appear there's still room for shorter mids if they're good enough. Yup. It's like the craze for 200cm tall forwards when the most successful tall forwards are 192-196cms. Boyd, Daniher, Patton and the rest of ...

Re: Bruce...... the topic of headlines

No doubt he was squeezed out by the arrival of Buddy and Tippett. Yes he was. He has said as much. Still , there is no go home factor at play here as has been suggested. Bruce played for GWS not the Swans and kosi is stringing you along (unfairly). Your point remains the same tho...he won't go back...

Re: mock draft 2015

When has 5' 11''in the old measurements been tpp small for a midfielder? The craze at the moment is oversized midfielders like Pendlebury, Fyfe and Bontempelli when it should come down to football ability in the first instance. I guess recruiters believe a tall mid with football ability is better t...

I hope Gilbo gets picked up via free trade, we get compo pick (wishing) picks 5 & 6 Parish & Mathesien... Am I dreaming or possible? We might get a pick in the 40-50's for Gilbert if he left as a free agent. More likely the same as we got for Gwilt...nought. I reckon we'll keep him tho. Fis...

Mathieson won't drift much. If by teens you mean 13 then possibly but unlikely. Darcy Tucker may drift a bit further tho.

Selection last week , older players

I'm hoping a few senior blokes retire at years end. We need to take a few more steps backwards to go forwards...would've liked to get on the front foot and apply that rule more this year.

Did I enjoy the win? Don't even bother asking such stupid questions....

Pathetic opposition

Our pressure was enormous and put Essendon on the back foot. We played extremely good footy to first of all get 50 points up then come out after halftime and kick the first few after they challenged (prior to HT they kicked 3 in a row and got back to 36 points down). Ess gave up mid way through the ...

I think Hickey may want out and could be traded so he will be safe. On form he could go if Hickey stays because he simply wont be able to play enough games at Sandy with all these ruckmen.

Free agency. Do we need it?

It would be negligent not to explore all trade options. I would sell FA's our brand and future. But no quick cash grabs here. You honour our contract policy and play for a team on the up. No dads army either. 25-26 year olds only.
