Sigh......Teflon and others. A man is allowed to have an opinion FFS!! RL suffers from inflexibility, as did GT. IMO, neither of them are particularly talented coaches (although RL clearly still has time to develop into something better). You watch the match day tactics of a Sheedy or a Matthews or ...

If our list is as bad as you keep telling us B4E - slowest midfield in the comp, etc. - then why are we set yet again to win more than half of our games and possibly still make the finals with yet another horrendous year of injuries, a new coach who doesn't really know what he's doing, etc., etc.? H...

I'm certainly no fan of RB or the flying Scotsman, but I don't know that you are being fair. To me, it seems like they are adopting a reasonable approach with a player who - on past performances - runs a greater than average risk of serious injury. Presumably the club wants to avoid another Hamill-t...

Dal was a bit disappointing again last night: although his effort can't be faulted. I don't really understand why Lyon uses him to do so much grunt work when his attacking skills are potentially so devastating. I would have thought that the likes of Birss or McQualter (or Thommo when fit) could be u...

I find it funny that I'm defending Lyon's efforts tonight, and those of some of the players I don't normally like like Blake and Birss (and, while I'm at it, I actually thought Attard had a great go before he got injured). A final thought, because I know that dwelling on Saintsational too long with ...

We tried hard, but, eugh, I'm sorry - we were up 35-7 and we choked on it when we were supposed to be chasing a finals berth? Seriously, for all the flowery and superfluous adjectives that will be spouted by our oh-there's-always-next-year fans, West Coast were on one knee tonight and we let them r...

Birss tried hard but he's hopelessly one paced, too easily brushed off the ball and coughs it up far too much with his indecision and poor execution. I don't know if those are attributes you'd find in any West Coast midfielder. Remember, they won a premiership last year on the strength of their mid...

Unbelievable player. Just drilled us. I don't care about excuses - this guy murdered us and, had I been a neutral fan, it would have been a joy to watch. Watching Jason Blake play on him is probably the wierdest coaching move I've seen in footy. Why would our worst player - who is neither quick nor...

Let's be positive - best performance of 2007
I thought both teams were terrific tonight. WCE, even without Kerr and with Cousins 1/2 fit and Judd 1/4 fit (and now seemingly with Hansen out for the season), still looked well and truly capable of repeating Geelong's 1990s nightmares if both those teams happen to make the GF again. Their midfield...

IMO Judd is more likely to play than Cousins: I suspect that the WCE would prefer to rest Cousins for another week, but will play him if Judd is out. If he does play, Judd must be kept quiet early. The Eagles will presumably be planning to use him as an impact player, particularly in the first three...

Surely you could not bring Thompson into the side when we hit the finals running... He is surely never to play again, he is so far past it and should not have gone on this year, simple as that... His games this year in the 1's have been feeble, and bordering on embarressing for a player of his repu...

Why wouldn't we try out Thommo against the Tiges to see if he's still got what it takes as another option for the finals? We have no idea how Attard or CJ or Birss would handle the pressure of finals football. But we know from as recently as the EF last year (when he gave a terrific performance) wha...

If the cameras had been on him, he wouldn't have a problem. That's right: they had cameras and observers allocated to watch him in several games in , I think, 2005 and came away with the conclusion that he operated entirely within the rules. However, the poster is right that Baker needs to have a g...

As I have posted on other threads, Baker has a major image problem. He is generally seen as a sniper who constantly cheats behind play in order to keep star players quiet during a game. Almost the entire football world away from our club and its supporters believe that Baker king hit Farmer behind p...
