BTW - very impressed with the way that Simpkin carried on with his game after that. He kept putting his body in and still seemed alert and controlled. He has very good awareness and just good old "footy smarts".

He's coming along ok. Exciting part is he WILL get better. Love his engine and his marking but I can't see him getting any quicker or jumping any higher than he is now. That's what I worry about with him. That's true but he will get a bit stronger and will get better at positioning and "ruck c...

You can play the stats lots of ways. Did you notice that 30% of McEvoy's hitouts were to advantage, compared with Jamar's 13%. Big Ben is developing very nicely in my book and ha smuch more upside to come - not just in the ruck but around the ground as well. Did you see how good he was with his hand...

I remember that he went to Collingwood. What was the other club?

Rooey, if he is playing there

CHB, wing?

I will go with somewhere on the forward line like BHF or FF. Both actually rotating during the game.

Alright - clearly one ofthe bunnies has to ask - where is BHF ??

Pretty average 2011 but if he gets a full preseason and a bit of luck with injuries. One of our most attacking players but didn't find much joy in Lyon's game plan. Don't think Lovett's party plan helped either. :D :D :D Dr S has a really dry humour with a great sense of the absurd. Could somebody ...

Nice one !

You try to catch it all in a (very big) bucket.

When he farts?

And that would be Dr Spaceman ?

Really?

I have no idea where you are looking


The little bit of skin on Roo's left arm below his short sleeve

My head hurts, Mum.

Oh bugger. Then, in that case, I don't get the logic. Somebody else wiith a bigger salary than Blake's must be going on.

I thought that Roo would be eligible next year. That means that it is better to take half of his salary out of the tPP than half of Blakes?

Not being smart - but why are you happy with this? Can you tell us something about what he has done with Sth Fremantle?

Seriously - on the provisio that his HEAD IS RIGHT - tell me why he would not be good for us (especially if he comes as a mature age rookie - i.e. cheap)

Actually, I like the idea that Bergholt suggested (above) that he could have a job at the club and be StK's man as coach of Sandy

Ed Zachary - this is a vey frustrating time

I see that he HS today has a small throwaway "Gary Ayres has missed the coaching job but is in line for Director of Coaching". (Sorry, I can't do a link but it can be found in the "confidential"). Does anybody know if this has legs - for some reason there haven't been any whisper...

I'm not sure that it is the running that is his problem - more likely the constant battering of tunnelling and triple-teaming that is destabilising him when he is playingnear goal. I would rather see him run relatively free of a tag and deliver to the forwards from about the centre. (He is a good an...

Why shouldn't we condsider playing him in a role like Goodes or Matty Richardson (at the end of his career)? Something like a ruck-rover.

No, seriously. Why not?

I still think that we have a lot of un-tapped talent that has spent 2 to 3 years developing in the 2nds. THey are now stronger and more experienced and could blossom when given an opportunity.

I'm not convinced that we need a wholesale rebuild of the list.
