Even if so he'll still have two guys in front of him, may as well put him down to the rookie list.

Well P66, I expected this season that we should have improved over the shocking 2014 season, and we did, and 6.5 games was at least an improvement. Richo has problems with his defensive strategies, especially in the midfield, and the "yeah no, we were beaten with the outside run and spread&quo...

The majority of their list will be 22-27 next year, including: O'Meara, Swallow, Lynch, Prestia, Bennell, Day, Hallahan, Tape, Gorringe, McKenzie, Matera, Nicholls, Shaw, Russell, May, Thompson, Hall, Dixon, Smith. Not sure they need more in that bracket if they're comfortable with who they have. So...

Richo seems obsessed with numbers "inside 50" but I think he ignores the context. Getting the ball into the forward line is good. If delivery is shocking, it will come straight back out. Teams will crush you on the turnover. It happened every single time we got beaten this year. Precision...

Ah right, thanks Bratty.

Why is it at Port Melbourne? Aren't they allowed to play finals at Sandy?

What happens when one is injured and the other is having a crap night? Bruce was really ordinary last night. Need to be more unpredictable. Eagles had Darling,Kennedy, La Cras, Hill all waiting for the pill We should have Bruce, McCartin, Membrey, Lonie, Sinclair if all goes well. Even three of tho...

Got looked after by the umpires which helps. When you average a free every forth game as a full forward defenders are on edge. List of forwards who kicked goals this year and the number of frees they got per game: 2.0 : 1.9 : Charlie Dixon (41 goals) 1.8 : 1.7 : 1.6 : Lance Franklin (47 goals) 1.5 ...

He's cooked before half time. Will be a 200 game player, could be a 200 game GUN if he could become an elite runner. Yep. Fair call. But first year player. Just turned 19 and 195cm/100kg. Fairly expected youd think. Will take him a few pre-seasons. Hardly a surprise. Big body to lug around. Complet...

Great endeavour, pretty hard to score through all those numbers down there at the moment though.

omitted

Thanks dragit. Seems weird being omitted on the day of the game and not on selection night.

And pretty poor for Sandy. If he'd been omitted on Thursday then he could have stayed in Melbourne for Sandy's game tomorrow.

Could we possibly trade for Harley Bennell and Roy Thompson???

How could we do that?

First we trade for Fyfe and Taylor Walker, then we on trade them to GC for Bennell and Thompson. Easy.

I would of thought Armo has b+f wrapped up. Steven has been good but hasn't taken his game to another level IMO Dempster has surprised me but that's my fault for not rating him highly enough Montagna has also been better than I thought he would be. Bruce has been one of our top three for the season...

chook23 wrote:Still no McCartin

has not been on injury list but has missed a couple now

Have they spelled him.

Looks like it, doesn't it? Not a bad plan if so. He really needs a big pre season in the gym if he's going to compete at AFL level.

As far as I can tell this just means you need an extra midfielder in your rotations. Yet another reason that we should be only drafting mids for the next few years.

Wasn't he offered a one year contract?

Maybe they're fattening him up for sale? Or else hoping he'll perform badly so contract negotiations are easier.

IN: Acres, Lonie, Sinclair
OUT: Bruce, Minchington, Schneider

Wright probably on careers edge if he doesn't. Saunders too if he stays. Wright is an interesting one. I still see him as a potential A grader and that's why I think he needs to become a top 22 player. But because he is not that young anymore and he hasn't had much continuity he's almost in an all ...

Before you go on about thats not how it's determined, I understand the system, but the result doesn't fit the intention. The intention is and always was equalisation. If you're a bottom team and you lose a good player then you get good compensation. Carlton are obviously terrible so that's what the...

Maybe the motive is to be "not overly amusing but at least a little clever"?
