Lonie tries hard, but Clark is already skilful, talented, hard-working, and has so much more to offer than Lonie. Lonie's role can be covered by the combo of Kent, Parker, Gresh...so can't imagine why Lonie gets a gig. Clark can support in the middle, and will perform better than Dunstan anyway Cle...

I quite like the structure, actually. 3 talls in defence and Webster's pretty good in terms of support there. The fact that Battle, Joyce and Wilkie have a total of 9 games experience - which is mostly Battle playing up forward - is a worry. We're also probably a little undersized relative to our o...

Good luck in your pursuit of answers, Yorkeys.

Let me know how you get on.

So we are persisting with Bruce as 2nd ruck which has never worked and probably attributed to his injury last year. It’s unbelievable isn’t it... 4 years and Richo hasn’t been able to figure out something that SS has been all over since the start. Disappointed with no Marshall and Clarke I've long ...

In what universe are Hunter Clark and Rowan Marshall not in the best 22?

Are they injured?

Clearly they're not operating in the same universe as those steering this spaceship as it hurtles toward 'Plant Oblivion'.

I'm really not surprised at this idiocy.

But, by golly, I'm freakin' angry!

How about if 2 of the 3 miss?

Been a while. Just dropped in, read nonsense, so went for a bit of drive by reaction. Toodle-oo. BTW, anyone catch the noos that noo testing methods being employed can now nab blokes on the fun gear up to a week after ingestion? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-players-warned-of-long-bans-wit...

I just call it as I see it . I didn't bag him or even suggest he can't make it . All I said is I'm really surprised that a top 10 draft pick can't get a run in a mickey mouse comp . I actually would love to see him show what he has to offer but if the club doesn't give him the opportunity how can a...

I think people have misunderstood the comment regarding Coffield. No one is saying that he is a bad player and wont make it nor that he isn't coming along. The comments were about us not needing another f@#king HBF which we don't need, its like getting another average inside mid. HE was a poor draf...

Coffield gets another run in the seconds... Has he been injured or has his form been an issue ? He is a top 10 draft pick & he can't get a game in a preseason competition . I thought he had a pretty average year last year considering he was pick 8 in the draft but you would think he would get a...

Who are they ?

Me, for one. And, all my extremely long term cohort.

The Coff'. Looks to me to have bulked up, so should now be able to do his stuff against AFL-sized bodies. That just leaves aerobic capacity - I'm not sure where he stands on that one. Anyone know? So IMHO, maybe this year, if not, 2020 for sure... break out year. :D You've always been a wise man, D...

I thought drafting coffield was a mistake for us. He has the attributes of being a gun but we didn't another HBF. He may not be playing for numerous reasons but he has the hardest position to break into the team and he was only ok last year, not good I think he would have been a fine choice at 8 fo...

Persactly.

Bruce's 'trend'? He's gone from competent, to a fish slapper.

Easy answer.

He is under contract. He might be under contract now , but both The Age article, and that link above, say his contract concludes in 2018. This Age article from 2 days ago doesn’t mention him. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/to-sign-or-not-to-sign-who-s-out-of-contract-at-your-afl-club-20181007-...
