No way. Will let us down.

King in the square and Sharman pulling a defender away from him and presenting as an option.

No excuses. If we can’t win it then it’s time to make changes to coaching staff and players.

Biggie Nyuon was one of our Academy kids and we chose not to match Richmond’s draft bid.

Go well young man, but will I be pissed off if you make the grade. You betcha.

I have been travelling all day so know nothing about the match.
Looked at my SuperCoach Team and Gresham earned a pathetic 55 points.

Bit worried that he will never be more than a handy player. Thoughts?

Marshall for Campbell.
Jones and Billings need to get match fit. No hurry.

Need to respect Sandringham who have their own identity. Leave it the way it is.

I would like to see Campbell given a chance if Marshall doesn’t recover in time. We need to see what the bloke can do. He has looked good at a lower level (pre-season and VFL).

Doesn't bother me. Not the best execution today, but it's a simple kick that opens the goals. Same thing with kicking bananas on the preferred foot instead of attempting a straight kick with the non-preferred. For some it's the easier kick, so go for it. Some people just like whinging about somethi...

Yes, it really pisses me off when they do that. If it works then they can do what they like, but when it doesn’t then they should be told to not do it again.

I’m a believer if he plays high-forward. Will be a match-winner and dare I say ‘flag-winner’.

The Hawthorn player didn’t see Paddy coming at all, or he did, disposed of the ball and was distracted. He is clearly watching the ball to his right as he collided. So is a player responsible for looking where they are going? Used to be a saying, “Play the ball, not the player” People feel sorry fo...

Not really, but ok then Pretty obvious, clearances are won by midfielders Taps are a factor, if they are to advantage Stats say that around 20-25% of total hit outs go to advantage Let’s say there are 50 total hit outs - we win the majority, let’s say 32 That mean 7 or 8 stoppage hit outs go to adv...

It’s what happens after the hit out that counts

Do you feel like spending more than 2.5 seconds composing a reply to think about this issue?
What do you think is happening after the hit out?

Yes I know it was a big win and I enjoyed nearly every moment of it, but through the trusty binoculars from tier 4 of the Olympic Stand I could see that we were being beaten in the centre square clearances. Stats show: Centre clearances: Hawthorn: 17 St Kilda: 13 Stoppage clearances: Hawthorn: 17 St...

Gee it has taken Ratten a long time to realise Hill is not a defender. He looked like a different player.

I hope he never plays in the backline again.

Ryder rucks, Marshall CHF.
Ryder rests, Marshall rucks and Hayes CHF.
Rotate Ryder, Marshall, King and Hayes.

Totally agree.
Postecoglou has transformed Celtic and is 100% responsible for its current success.

Who can’t run?

At the time I defended the clubs decision to make that trade with a fellow supporter who said it was ludicrous.
I have since apologized to her and admitted she was right and I was wrong.

Sorry that I bothered to read that.
Please be a bit more selective in what you put up here Saynta.

I think he needs to get us into the finals to hold his job.
In saying that, if there are significant games missed by our top 12 players then that should give him a little more leeway.
11 and 11 is line-ball.

a pick in the 20's for Membrey, would you take it? I would!!! Sharman takes his spot and we use the pick on a mid. Thoughts??? Nice brain-teaser. No from me. A pick 25 mid is a significant gamble. All the good mids are gone by then. Membrey is an automatic selection and will be for the next 3 years...

Versus Fremantle:

Automatic 6/10 for the win.

Extra point for the determination and commitment shown by the players. Can't find any extra points for team selection or tactics. To be honest I thought our go-slow tactics in the last quarter nearly cost us the game.

7/10

We can lose it from here.
