Re: Paul Hunter

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...

Re: Lefties

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...

Re: Changes for Eagles

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...

Re: Good Bye Billings

Isn’t it interesting Players seem to perform well in the HB line Hill, Sinclair, Webster this year Coffield, Paton, Clark last year Yet on the HF line the goings a bit tougher StK careers have ended from that position Acres, Newnes, Weller and now Billings I think when we judge a player, we need to...

Re: Sign up Dunstan ASAP!!!

If we lose to Port and Dunny doesn't play well for 4 quarters he will be right back in the sights of most supporters who don't trust him to sustain this current level of form. I really want him to succeed but it's a trust issue for me, similarly for this whole team. Dunny transcends the fragility o...

Thinks he’s fkn David Dench! Any danger of him ever being on his opponents shoulder, especially when he’s playing deep on the last line. He seriously overrates himself, the fact he runs to take the kick ins when he’s a s*** kick! Young Thilthorpe is a ripper, you see, young key forwards can be matc...

Re: We’re we outcoached?

Such a lack of composure coming out of our backline. Hacked kicks when not heaps of pressure and those kick ins in the last were so woefully predictable. I think we lack leadership on the ground. Steele leads by example but can’t be everywhere. Who is our defensive general who takes the heat off. Wh...

Always liked Sinclair. A smart and skillful footballer- not the out and out match winner but the sort of player who can elevate and play at a higher standard as the team improves.

How the hell does Ross keep getting votes??? He’s a depth player at best, and is getting judged in the best players on the ground?! That makes no fkn sense?!?!
