No he wouldn’t have List management team would have Lethlean got the boot because he couldn't keep his fingers out of pies he wasn't responsible for (note this is not a joke about what he was sacked from the AFL for :D). He was CEO wanting to run the whole football department Nonsense to think he w...

It all happens because of our game plan, which does not trust or midfield We send our two HFs to midfield to support at stoppages leaving spares to get proactive from behind the ball Our midfield is getting belted around even with the HF support, so I wouldn't be inclined to trust them to duke it o...

Possible JHF might miss at least which would help

I think Ross is giving reasons/excuses because he knows what fans don’t want to accept. At the moment we are not that good, so rather than just come out and say that and lose commercial support and interest, he takes on the excuses that are suggested to him in the press conferences. I think he know...

And last night (even tho Howard hasn’t played a single game at Sandy). Howard played last weekend for Sandy at Manuka in the curtain raiser, picked up 18 disposals and 9 marks. FWIW I think Cordy has been generally pretty solid this year in Howard's absence. It's good to have someone as backup here...

It's hard to think of a game in recent times where I've been more disgusted with the lack of effort. I left 10 minutes into the 3rd quarter - and I was not alone. I would have left at half time, but I was hoping to see a response after the break...Maybe the aliens would arrive again. But, no. Yeah ...

Ross said last week that the midfield is spluttering. Well this week the engine conked out. We were outclassed in there. At one point it was Garcia, Windy, Jones vs Bont, Macrae, Treloar. Just another class above our troops. No quick fixes here I think except getting some blokes back and getting mo...

Have read a few times Virtually conceded the year We played like it tonight Flat as tacks Gee it hurts though Can you post it here, my ISP stopped providing an email service so my club email is stuck in cyberspace. I hope this letter finds you well and you are enjoying the 2024 AFL season so far. A...

There were way worse games under Ratten, Richo and Watters in that time. Lyon’s second worst losing margin though (60 points vs 61)

Jones sub for me. I'll back Butler in for a little longer, to be honest we are carrying him a bit but he is valuable at his best and has been highly interupted.

Looks like King is likely to miss

If they did go like for like with Hayes injured I wonder if they consider Howard as a forward considering Cordy more than holding his spot? I think if anything it would be the other way around, Cordy forward and Dougall back. Pretty sure Cordy played forward start of last year when King was out wit...

Yep

Think he still requires scan

Confirmed clear, just swelling

Might be available for Thursday

Doesn’t need to be traded Needs a rocket His effort and body language is unacceptable He was getting flogged by Taylor for 10 minutes Then lucky for him Taylor was subbed out, instead of stepping up and taking advantage of that he was limp as an old lettuce leaf Don’t care about goals - just effort...

Are we winning the cup this year? Are we even contending? If the answer is no - use the year as a development one and GET GAMES INTO THE KIDS - including playing those in unfamiliar roles to develop them. We've consistently had one of the youngest sides this year. Games are being put into the kids....

Our defensive forward play seems almost non existent of late. I noted at one point, maybe half time, it was 13-4 forward 50 tackles (we were the 4). This used to be our bread and butter (or maybe bread and Butler), we get the ball inside 50 and it doesn’t come out til we score. Now it seems like one...

North have Larkey and Zip Zap, they really need a key back and can't see them trading away their generational talent for King.

Silver lining... 3 losses, average losing margin 4.3 points. We're not playing anywhere near our best and we're still in games, and against a couple of good sides also (...and the Bombers, less said about that the better).

He had 5 tackles in about 10 minutes in the 3rd I reckon, came in like a wrecking ball

Strength to loyalty will get you fk all Good players get wins Some of our players are not up to it, not against good opponents not at all! We were s*** today for the majority of the game were well beaten And furiously beating your keyboard will get you an aneurysm and an early grave. Chin up brother

Least Caminiti took his full 30 secs 👍🤣 Even though we were 7 points down with 40 seconds to go I totally disagree with your criticism. He had to kick the goal. He took the time he needed. He kicked the goal- AND there were still 41 seconds on the clock at the next bounce . As we saw, still plenty ...

Garcia 11 possies 6 tackles in a quarter and a half, kid can play

We look fitter
