Hindsight is easily trotted out when failed decisions are made StK cannot use this bulls*** as an excuse Lovett trade (pick 16) No hindsight there, most with any knowledge knew his character- he was a drunk who bashed women! Goddard and Dal the flick - horrendous calls, by Lyle Lanley! Neither want...

Missing the Fyfe fend off to Brad Hills throat in our forward 50.

Has there ever been a player that gets to all the right spots yet delivered so little? How does this get fixed as he should be a match winner. Does he try to hard? Is it experience? We need him to consistently kick goals and hope we can get it right. The thing is… he does it right some of the time ...

Owens and Byrnes were out of their depth Not into gifting games to kids if they aren’t up to it Kent is hopeless Lol it’s called development. I we can’t blood and develop new players how will we improve? Keep playing players like Kent? We should have been able to carry Byrnes and Owens and had a win.

Higgins and King 1.7 between them. Kent non existent.
Seriously BM you choose Brynes and Owens as your first call outs? Young better players who will be better for the experience, hardly expected to be match winners.

First bounce second quarter

Byrnes, Owens

Lost clearance and goal!!!

Lost next clearance

If only we looked to the future and put Seb Ross in there!!! What is Ratts thinking???

Not sure why we couldn’t continue to push for top 4 in 2011-12-13 Reality is We should’ve had Blake, Kosi, Bakes, Max. Gardy, King over that period Go out of that side But the ins should’ve been Armo, Steven, McEvoy, Stanley, Lynch, 2014 you would probably see Jones, Hayes, Fisher, Mile, Schneider,...

Draper was clearly a ruckman (with potential) McLean is not a ruckman or a KP forward He is an undersized part time ruckman and a back up tall forward He is like an all rounder that is handy at both but not good enough at either Mitchell Marsh McClean is 21, still could be anything. Was best first ...

Not really This thread is the opposite IMO and the reason is that it was a contentious decision and that it wasn’t hindsight. It was a risk selection- with the number 1 pick And by risk, I don’t mean McCartin I mean overlooking the obvious selection, that can always come back to haunt you! In this ...

I’m sure the Melbourne forum this year is all about Watts, Scully , Trengove. Richmond would have spent the last few years talking about Fiora, Tambling.

I know this is a Petracca Thread - but ....... Max King - 38 Games - F@rking Hell - Watch out for a 50+ gamer!!!!!!!!! Membrey and Sharman and the smalls are going to love it - it will take 3 players just to try and stop him! Thanks Sainter_Dad, sick of the Petracca/McCartin hindsight crap. King is...

LOL - I must admit that I have not read much of this thread - but I think you have the title wrong - it should be "So what, if Billing, Ross and Dunstan leave .....?" The answer is we lose some GOP and hopefully fill their roles with young, quick good users. My order of preference for kee...

How can 1 stat be worth several stats They are either effective or ineffective Cyril vs Ross I think Cyril is a better player with the ball in hand Seb being a mid obviously got more of the footy It depends, who do you value more A small forward or a midfielder?! Interestingly Cyril got 44 Brownlow...

I rate any good player. What is McLean? A big forward with low production Or A small ruckman with low production At 197cm 100kg he’s a similar size to Bruce but not half the ability as a forward?! Let’s look at his output 8 Disposal pg 0.8 goals pg 3.5 marks pg 4 hit outs pg 2.5 tackles pg What par...

All of a sudden I've got a bad feeling about Dunny leaving and possibly going to the Suns. Imagine if the Suns storm onto the finals next year and Dunny plays a massive role in their meteoric rise...and we end up bottom 4. I fear of what could happen to SS.. Good on him if helps them to finals. I d...

Seb Ross is better than Higgins WTF are you on about? One is a small forward/half forward who’s played 60 games, averages 15ppg, 2.3 tackles and 0.87 goals The other is an inside/outside mid Played 160 games, averages 23.5, 3.75 tackles has won 2 B&Fs and made the AA squad. Has Captained StK an...

lol- Parker, Steele and Crouch don't have skill?!?

for me its become - "So What... if Billings, Ross and Dunstan leave." I'd prefer to keep Billings and hope we do, but Dunstan can go, would much rather get games into Bytel/Byrnes Ross, meh, can go, was always destined to be a fringe player as we got better. And he is not a great fringe pl...

That 25m punch forward in the last qtr that lead to a goal was as good as a possession.. That was incredibly dangerous and lucky. He often refuses to take possession and taps the ball almost randomly. Dangerous that he hit it past 3 freo players? Take possession and get done holding g the ball insi...

He’s kicked 2-10 Not good enough The miss from a metre out today was embarrassing His pressure and attack are very good, but he has to do better with conversion. Kent and Long get their opportunities but rarely convert Agree Logic is lost on some They’d keep Kent and punt Long????? Even “elite kick...

2020 there were few players I was happier to see with the Sherrin. He was lace outing targets at 45m Now he struggles with the 20m chip passes. He had a crack tonight but his kicking was deplorable, confidence seems to have evaporated His kicking was a weapon last year. The way he could take the ha...

Fancy trying to play Hunter in Marshall’s role as a fwd/ruck He is probably a nice fellow, and an honest state league crash and bash ruck battler But to get drafted at 28 into an elite system is bizarre To play as a tall forward even more bizarre Why didn’t he just come off the bench and Steele res...

Just as many righties who cant kick on their left I am leftie and kick perfectly well on my right - its just practice Not sure I've seen many righties fluff it as badly as Kent did. Agree it is just practice, for a professional player it should not even be much practice for a basic level of putting...

more chance Kent will be dropped than Butler IMO Kent should be left out. Terrible game can’t remember a positive from him. That and injuries the only reason Butler says As Cornes just said on FC ....Butlers playing like a millionaire and his inability to do the team thing when needed is deplorable...
