We are just not a very good football team. It's quite simple really.
Last week was your classic come from behind, stirring, underdog win. Nothing more than that. Wet Coke let that one slip. We are poor. And the messiah is being found out.

Re: Gresham- Done
Any chance it helps to improve his kicking?
Terrible for the kid, but in all seriousness, his ball use terrible.

Re: Bring back Savage
He's at GWS. Sav is living in and playing for Port Fairy. Not even remotely close to Western Sydney. https://www.standard.net.au/story/7063945/hampden-league-club-signs-player-straight-out-of-afl/ Jeeez, what would he be getting there? $250-$350 a game?

Re: This is how the Crouch deal will go down.......
If the Crows don't match, I hope we give nothing for peanuts during the trade period. Unless of course it is to free up salary for a greater cause. Obviously a benefit to us. It seems Adelaide may have conceded and accept the compensation is adequate. If so, that's our job done. This is a ruthless ...

Re: Webster and Dunstan to Adelaide
Possibly someone on the radar who requires the cap space and/or pick from Dunstan and Jimmy. If so, could be a good deal for both clubs. If not... Well, that wouldn't make much sense. OR it requires us paying Crouch more to trigger the Band 1 compensation for Adelaide, so we actually require cap sp...

Re: Crouch
I like to think this frees Jack Steele up even more. He was almost pigeon holed as an inside mid at the start, used as a stopper etc.... Now we've seen he has plenty of strings to his bow. He's become elite and Crouch gives him even more breathing room. This could end up a really good get in more wa...

Re: ITKs Come On Down
Money talks. If that's what it came down to, I'm glad the club didn't sell the farm.
The best clubs have players who are prepared to play for a little less to be in a rewarding and successful environment. Let's get this right

Re: The Caldwell conundrum
Brian Speaking reckons that Caldwell is going to Essendon but subsequent posts indicate he is sitting on the fence and that Gubby is still trying and doesn't give up easily. We have Bytel who we need to get serious game time into. I think they are similar types too so I am not too fussed about this...

Re: Will Cotchin and Lynch be out of the finals?
"The potential to cause injury" in the Cotchin incident should be taken into account, should it not?
But this is the AFL in real life... We already know the outcomes.

He's the type of player that really makes you second guess when your head is over the footy. He needs to be careful, of course... But he is a weapon in more ways than one. Yes, he is pointy and he hurts... But once he gets in your head, putting yourself over that ball at a center bounce becomes a lo...

Does need to be careful... But there's nothing worse for a mid with his head over the ball than knowing that might be coming. Once its in your head, it can be hard to shake.
If he does it right, I'm all for it
