Re: Post-match analysis
CQ saint: For team balance, and also from what we should have learned about our specialist small forwards from previous finals (their reduced output and effectiveness in tough, physical games) over the last 15 years or so, we probably should've dropped one of our small forwards at least, for a bigg...

Re: Yesterday’s umpiring
Umpiring didn't affect the result but there were some truly surreal moments that made you completely uncertain as to might be coming next: Two totally unnecessary score reviews. One where everyone in the ground could see that it was a behind to GWS and couldn't possibly be anything else. The other ...

Re: Bye bye Maynard
I didn't put blame on Brayshaw, he was unable to exercise any care to himself because he didn't see Maynard coming and Maynard was unable to do much because he was in mid air having failed to reach the ball which was his intent. An accident. The concept of 'duty of care' goes both ways. In the work...

Re: Bye bye Maynard
I've changed my mind. I thought it was a football action, but was it? I mean, say you're running at a brick wall, jump and put your hands up (to smother). Then, what do you do? You don't then tuck your arms in and hip and shoulder the wall. You pull your hands in and try and cushion the blow. I mean...

Re: It’s a final
We were 23 points up with momentum The ball was kicked out to Phillipou on the Wing/HB He dropped the mark, the ball bounced up to him, he fumbled it and a giants player won it and ran off, and Phillipou couldn’t go with him - he kicked it long and they goaled 29 points Game over If that was Jack B...

Re: rumours
Has obvious talent but was a product of poor standards for years so he hasn’t lived up to his potential. I think he has 3 years left on his contract. Is there a club wanting to take him on? I don’t think Brad Scott will take this on given all their challenges. Interest will likely come from Norf, D...

Re: It’s a final
Caminiti (who may indeed turn into a great player) was predictably all at sea, getting in the way and spoiling his own teammates as he tends to do. It's funny because although he did do exactly what you say, if those other players weren't in his way he would have clunked all of those marks. Look at...

Re: Post-match analysis
yes felt that our two coaching mistakes were cordy over howard and wilkie on green. I was going to write the same. Wilkie on Green was a waste. Wilkie is your third man up/intercept marker but tagging Toby should not have been on Wilkie. It severely dented our rebound ability. At one stage Toby is ...

Re: Hayes gone again
Hayes is probably the most overrated player we've had on our list for years. Sure he kicked a few goals here and there but overall he's been average in a very small sample size of games. Not to mention is always injured. Much rather have hammer and/or sharman in the lineup. Hayes wont make it...he'...

Re: Women’s team
Also worth noting that Caitlin Greiser (spelling?) kicked the winning goal for Richmond today from about 40-45m out from the posts. The shot went through at 3/4 post height from that distance. She was the G Train? Is that right? Yes, it doesn't make any sense getting rid of good players. Maybe they...

Re: Media is all about Toby Green.
I remember a few weeks ago the media was all about Buddy's last game for Sydney against us. Hopefully the GWS match turns out the same way.

Re: Final V GWS Friday night (Sportsbet said) but now Saturday 3.20pm
I'm not sure that I would put it in terms of the AFL screwing us. But I do think it's odd that 6 of the teams playing finals could have had games at their home ground (although Sydney and the Giants won't because of where they finished) and 2 (Carlton and us) can't. Kardinia Park is clearly too sma...

Re: That's a win in my book
Brisbane Lions. The bookies have anointed them as equal flag favourites. Port Adelaide beat them in Round 1 by 54 points. I think Melbourne and Port will win their qualifying finals That means, if we beat GWS we are back at the Gabba for the semi and, if we beat them, we are at the MCG against the ...

Who feels confident regarding a win? We beat them in round 10 in Sydney… Sinclair had 37 touches NWM, Marshall, Steele, Stocker and Wood our best King kicked 4, Higgins 3 and pairs to Butler, Sinclair Whitfield, Green and Conglio the best for the home team I feel more confident in beating GWS than ...

Re: Finals side
I think one of Hayes or Sharman needs to play as we are too small otherwise.
I also think Stocker is not versatile at all. He can only play back. He either starts back or doesn't play at all.
