Wow this is a scary thread! If both Fisher & Dempster retire who fills the other tall defender role? We will finally have Carlisle, but Goddard will be out for half the year, Roberton aka skittle cant play a key defensive role, Delaney will be delisted, what do we throw Coughlan in there. I agre...

Yep best decision Essendon didnt make taking Ross in the Carlisle trade. SB has blossomed this year and still has room for improvement.

I just finished watching the Sandi replay as well. I was impressed with Sinclair, Templeton, Lonie, White, Coughlan, McKenzie, Rice & OKearney. Billings got big stats and is an elite user but I cant remember him winning one contested ball himself. Is there something wrong with him he just has no...

If we can get him as a free agent go for it I say! Give him a huge front loaded contract and get him to the Saints Ameet.

How sweet it would be to rub there noses in it - calma would be beautiful.

Impressive effort lead from the front - well done Jack. Its marvellous who stands up as leaders when given the opportunity. If you can have posiitives out of senior players injuries then it occurred this week, with Roo and co out has given other players a chance to shine.

I don't think we need all of them on the list, so one of them should probably move on at the end of the year. Holmes may be in danger for the reasons you listed. Longer was our number 1 ruckman in the second half of last year, so I wouldn't want to get rid of him unless we replaced him in the squad...

Great game by Richo - he has reinstalled the faith! I hope he learnt something along the way also that he needs to trust those kids banging the door down. The energy and excitement they bring to the team is immeasurable.

Love him, he is so important to our team, we need a couple more with uis mindset!

Nothing offensive in that article, everything Lloyd said is exactly right. Its way past the time for Richo to show he can coach when under pressure and the whole club to stand as one!

Crows are about to beat WCE in Perth they are a good side!

Congrats Lewi and best of luck!

Didnt we hear that Sandringham would have struggled to finance their own team also if we left - sounds like its just a dollars and cents decision all round.

I think its just another indication of how much the club is struggling financially, that they cant afford a stand alone team! Pity really was looking forward to see the team build a VFL following at Moorabbin.

Richo must have ulcers having to pick Lee, Delaney & Acres all at once.

Agreed after Oliver & Parish he is the next best midfielder in the 2015 draft. Still would have liked a 2nd rounder to get Mathieson though!

Please Richo, PLEASE... Park these words and phrases, mate: "Strong; positive; on the back of; Geary is the Second Coming" Oh FFS do you ever have anything positive to post about the club??? Have you ever heard a pre game interview with Richo when he hasnt used those words? Its quite funn...

Gees wish I could make that...should be some interesting questions posed?

I question the clubs decision in trading for this kid, but we have far too much invested to give up now. Its time to investigate oversees treatment as we have done with Hickey etc. He has a fairly healthy 3 year contract, which on top of the Carlisle trade really highlighted what an indifferent 201...

True he does look very stressed out there...

Everybody seems to have forgotten Nick Coughlan.. Was just about to mention that! Yes that is another reason I think both Lee and Delaney will be gone. We have Coughlan, Roberton, Goddard and Carlisle as tall defenders. We are sorted in that position for the next 7 years. Con although he is 194cm t...

I think it is unfair to headless chooks to compare them to us yesterday- as a matter of fact The Headless Chicken Association of Victoria may lodge a complaint. It is clear that Richo has modelled our gameplan on the little league, or a social game of footy where everyone runs around chasing the ba...

Players have given up the were beaten before they even got on the plane to Adelaide which is a major concern.

If the club want stallwarts like Monty, Roo, Fisher & Dempster to hang in they have to give them some hope for the future and performances like yesterday just bury all vestige of hope!

Non-competitive team efforts such as yesterday, fall right back at the feet of the coach. After three years I still see no real system or style in AR' s coaching apart from the team playing like a bunch of headless chickens in a paddock, and on days where they are all running in the same direction,...
