Yeah you could say that it is a throwaway comment without any basis of fact. From the social media pics of the guy he looked considerably lighter. The club website has a comment that Paddy McCartin is on a modified program but completed a running session with Dan Hannebery earlier in the morning. T...

Delisting Goddard and Freeman were two terrible mistakes. :roll: it is slightly weird that when a player is on our list we have to support them unconditionally without criticism or candour but once they get dropped ... Do you mean once they leave the club everyone s***s on them and says they are no...

At around 6' 4" in the old, bruce certainly has the size to fill a number of key positions, a good ordinary player who can kick a goal. Providing he gets a game, can he take Roberton or Carlisle's spot, I wouldn't think so. I can see him staying a forward and pinch hitting in the ruck. Hope he ...

Of course he is. Possibly the question is can we win or break even in the ruck contests. If not he is probably wasted being a spectator in the middle and when our hard pressed defenders actually rebound having Jade in the fwd half is a good thing, but if we can win the tap, he breaks from the centr...

Yeah it's either Josh Bruce or Paddy down back, I've thought Josh Bruce was the obvious choice but I can also follow Lyon's logic. Clearly Richo 'N' Ratta are getting along well as a team if Ratta is keen on supporting Richo's ideas about trialling Paddy down back. Be fair to say that some of our e...

He’s a tricky one because as much as he’s exactly the type of mid we lack... I don’t want to lose him from the forward line. He’s one of those players that can do things that others can’t and fans often think was impossible Agree, I don't think he will be a top midfielder, has too many tricks when ...

Billings absolutely has X factor. X factor is what I would consider being able to do things which change the course of a game that others can't. Gresham & Billings can do this. Lonie has some X factor. Jack Steven has X factor. Membrey is just a solid player who reads the game well, no real X f...

Having better assistants ( except King who was excellent- so we dumped him) will yield us 6-8 wins but it won't save Richo. Is 'King' referring to Kingsley? If so, why do you think he was excellent? I'm curious. King or Kingsley is an excellent coach and will likely get a senior gig eventually. He ...

You must keep winning to get prime time viewing and you must win to get your supporters to the game, if you continue to do this, then the team gets more exposure = memberships and sells more club gear and this puts money in the bank. Logos are important, easily seen on TV but at the game you don't l...

Hickey for a norm smith. Minchington to play regular AFL footy. Richo to ask us to park long periods of a game by round 2. Longer to kick a goal. Billings to kick more goals than behinds. Billy has kicked 4 goals for us. Only a behind this year. Yup, I'm predicting he kicks one more next year to ta...

Best of luck to him

Bit harsh premier....

Sounds like it will be a topline facility.

you have got no fans ted, I thanked you for that post so that you didn't get that "lonely & unwanted" feeling. We want you to keep contributing your shite, not drive you away.

RULE 101...……...No excuses....game plans...defensive shite...high pressure, strategies, every excuse in the book. Skill level is down, a few of those players were at rest when they kicked for goal on an ongoing basis, they never even seen the backline. The kicking needs working on until they get it ...

That is a bit below the belt and uncalled for chico. The modern world accepts everyone, including cross dressers like one of our famous champs from the 60's. Not a front runner like you lot Ted, no room whatsoever for those that dare to be different in my world. Always punch when caught behind and ...

Thanks Shaggy. I get bullied, threatened and abused by a minority because I hit sweet spots of truth that posters can't handle ...hence the vitriolic reactions. Your all good Teddy, Stoney has your back!!!!! Piss and wind Cowgirls on here, no courage some when really challenged, keep posting the po...

Do you mean that Tom is resigned to having to play with the Dogs?

either or

It’s all about perceived value isn’t it, our last pick in the 2017 draft was 46 (Ben Paton) maybe our recruiters preferred Paton over Hartung at that position. Maybe if we had a latter pick (hartung went at 77) we may have looked at him. This year we have latter picks which are more of a lottery. I...

Whoever we pick isn’t going to be perfect otherwise they would still be on their original clubs list. I think we look at the strength they provide and whether it’s soemthin where in short supply of and wether we can live with or improve their weakness. I think the top three areas that people compla...

You know, perhaps it was a Paul Roos type choice. Respected ex-player fills in for displaced coach and then, unforeseen at the time, he gets chosen as a full-timer. Perhaps that was why poor old Harves didn’t get a look in when he filled in? That about sum's it up. There was no silver lining. Had s...

But I do have a feeling about him .... he is going to show us exactly where we are at in development ....

I haven't seen much of him repta. What do you reckon he will do at the hawks?

Only 4 night games! We have been well and truly shunted/shafted off to the wastelands! Not sure why punters expected anything else enrico…..When you lose frequently and don't draw a crowd and have no real bargaining strength at the table.....you lose and they drop kick you into oblivion until you p...

Woeful fixturing. Crowds stay away when you lose, that is a given. The big clubs always get a big crowd regardless. It would better to be "used in other ways" Like winning a shedful of games with good crowds and then getting back into the big draws and a bigger TV audience. It is a very si...
