Re: Bailey Rice
if you put him in surely you just rotate him with Joey. Hes a classy operator with the ball in hand.

Re: VFL RD 10- Sandringham Vs Coburg
Ben Long was supposed to be our McDonald-Tipungwuti. Our Rioli. If he's gone backwards after getting recruited then it's a damning comment on our development staff. We get Ben Long and Melbourne pick up Mitch Hannan from the bulldogs - go figure! That one game of Ben Long- left me wondering why the...

Re: Roo Signs on
Roo and Joey need a farewell game this year. They cannot go around again, this is crazy talk. Age has caught up with them, club needs to look at the future. Roo's knee is a week to week gamble. Swap 2 picks for a big marking forward and move ahead. Ive been of the thinking that they should go down ...

Re: Freeman
Im sure if Freeman averages 30+ disposals a game over the next 4 weeks and a goal or 2 a game, then the coach will change his view on whether or not he plays this year. I still reckon they may try and sneak him in for a game at the end of the year if we are unlikely to play finals yeah for sure.I g...

Re: Team vs. Suns
Are we one of the worst teams when it comes to debuting players? Carlton have had 4 rising star nomination this year. Maybe our depth is really not all that good! Unfortunately it isn't. Bulldogs, Melbourne, Carlton, and Essendon have done far better these last four years. comes down to poor select...

Re: Hawks pick. What do we do with it?
If you check out the future stars they came to the idea that if we get Kelly it will be hard to keep the 2 firsts. If we get Dusty on the other hand you can keep the 2 firsts. Why would dusty leave? Money yes but from tichmond mcg 70k fans on the verge of a possible flag to us??? Nah. And besides t...

Re: Hawks pick. What do we do with it?
if it were we had a bunch of later round picks id back us in. we seem to be good at finding the systematic diamond in the rough. Top end talent these blokes are hopeless.Impatient Sainter wrote:Definitely trade - cant rely on the recruiting team to get it right.

He has the skill set and smarts to be a footballer and I'm sure we will give him the development time. the one thing i noticed what he lacks in pace he makes up for in his positional work. Always puts his body in line and racks up the 1%ers. Probably very good for his development to have Carlisle a...

Re: Hawks pick. What do we do with it?
I will vomit if we downgrade a top 3 pick into 2 later picks. Yep. I have never understood how that is a win. Ask the dees.They could have picked Kelly. personally im not a fan of our drafting strategy weve had 1 pick pay off in the past 4 Richardson Drafts (Gresh). yet to get consistency from Padd...

Re: Get the pitchforks ready! OUT Steele, IN Dunstan
I do feel you have to persist with Dunstan. havent seen enough to say he wont make it as a footballer. we have been that poorly coached and team selection has been sh**house this season. We just look lost as a team. In terms of dropping steele i think its a very dumb thing to say the least. he was a...

Re: Still no Credit for Paddy!!!!!
Our forward line structure/coaching has been terrible this year. You can see they are still yet to figure out how to work Membrey, Paddy and Bruce in their together. If you watch the crows game its too congested when around the 50m arc. too many mids and small forwards crowding the space hence the d...

Re: Kelly and May
SOS was all over him in the draft. Was the main reason he didn't fall to us at 3.always had a feeling they were in the mix though. So with this being said should we prepping for B grade targets like Hopper & Devon Smith (if we are to raid gws). Really just hope we don't overpay for Martin or pot...

Re: Next week
I am start to think Meatball and Lonie may not be that bad. My problem with Lonie is he is too easily brushed aside with his tackles. He can only do surprise tackles from behind. But with our horrendous game plan -Lonie and Minch are almost always out numbered in our fwd line. So they are set up to...

Re: Dilemma
Con is right, I can't see a "gun" wanting to come to us - why would they it will be a while before we are in any premiership window. Given past history I also don't have a huge amount of confidence in our ability to draft any future guns with our 2 top 10 picks. Yes indeed a dilemma! I ge...

I really hope the selection committee grows some kahunas and makes some statement style drops. bring in Hickey, Roo, NOK, Rice, White, Mack. Give Joey, Acres. Gresh, Longer, Sinclair and Maybe Mav (mav for goal kicking reasons, can't be in the side if you're not contributing goals). Send the kids a ...

Re: Crows v Saints
I think Mav needs to be put on notice. I know there is a lot of man love for Mav (and lady love) but I think his role needs to be made clear. There is only room for one glamour boy in the fwd line and that is Billings. We can't have two blokes who are outside goal kickers. Mav needs to stop kidding...

Re: The Coach or the List?
I would say our selection committee has been useless this year. We brought Long in and pigeon holed him into a small forward role and didn't use him as the runner that he should be, never allowed him to win a spot. Coaching staff seemed too proud (for lack of a better term) to rest rooey earlier and...

Re: The Coach or the List?

what about Dylan Sheil? He's my fav GWS midfielder - a bit older at 25 by an out and out gun! He turned 24 this year. Secondly the main connections we have with Kelly are Billings and Freeman both playing Under 18s Rep and TAC level and im sure they wouldve crossed paths in school footy. He roomed ...
