Re: Max King

What a sensible thread.. It all makes sense. It beggers belief really... then we have Membrey playing exclusively 50-80m from goal, or defence. Not even a threat to kick a goal, followed by the 2 week disaster of playing Butler (out of form) and Higgins (rushed back when not match fit) Wouldn't mind...

Is Marshall injured? He looked about 100 years old out there and hasn't played that well all year.

Re: Mach thread: saints v bombers

A lot of posters appear to be putting the failure down to Ratts but in his defence he has not been dealt a very good hand with very few natural footballers out there. Stop picking them in the team then.. And even non natural players can show some heart and intensity. Those players should be ashamed...

Re: Dedicated AFLW Forum

If you put gender to one side and just debate AFLW as a product on its own capable of generating a sustainable market and revenue, it is also going to struggle significantly and will only survive with financial support from the men's game. If you grew up on AFLM, you probably aren't attracted to AF...

Re: The Young Guns!

It was fantastic that all 3 played today and they'll all play a big part in our future however, we need a lift in a few areas to compete with Lions, swans etc coming up.
Higgins is a definite and at least one of Clark, billings or butler also come in..

Re: Richmond was robbed of 2 points

Surely there are better, more important, worthwhile things to discuss than a non event finish to an opposition game where by the losing team coughed up a 30 point lead. A player kicked the ball as the siren went when 80m away from goal, who cares.. yeah it was probably a bit silly or risky but reall...

Re: Team v Cats

Sharman keeps the opposition's intercept marking defender honest. We could have used him last week. King would not have been mauled as much as he was if Sharman was there to distract other tall defenders. He's a natural forward. Exactly. I dont necessarily expect Sharmto kick a ton of goals however...

Re: Set Shots for Goal

King, Membrey and Gresham all had set shots for goal within easy kicking distance and none from a very difficult angle. Each tried an around-the -corner shot and all missed. I am confident all three would have scored goals with a normal drop punt shot. You mean Higgins... but yes, 3 goals just thro...

Re: Paddy goes *WHACK* D’oh!

The jury finds that the impact was high. Having disposed of the ball, Day was entitled to expect and indeed appeared to expect that he would not then receive forceful contact, which was largely front-on. As such, he was vulnerable and did not take any steps to minimise the impact. The contact to hi...

Re: Why do Sydney always turn up to play?

They have a remarkable culture, one that is increasingly perpetual, and engrained in the fabric of the club. They're either in contention to win flags or putting maximum development into players capable of winning flags. They're the benchmark for consistency. They put all the framework in place to ...
