Re: Geary

Cant bag the captain. Cmon. FfS. Off limits serious. Whether he is a very average player who somehow has inspired this team to sh!t on an entire season, is irrelevant....wait a gosh darn minute. I think Richo can add Geary to his end of year why I suck b@lls but deserve to stay presentation....well ...

Re: I feel like the hickey v longer debate is over

Longer has value. When he is playing his best he works amazing in a 2 ruck set up. But like Hickey either injury or confidence has caused him to suck. That said in best form Hickey is faster, he can jump more athletically ( meaning reach twist and bend) he can bend and scoop the ball, he can hand ba...

Re: Match thread v Blues

Well a win is a win, unless we want high draft picks but we definitely dont because beating piss poor last place teams give the young fellas huge balls they can use for years to come.

Re: Selection

I said I would wait and see how the game went before I comment on selection. My take: Won't single out players but will discuss some of the poor execution, and selecting players who have had more than enough chances and are not up to it. Some of our selectors need to have a look at their decisions ...

Re: So what did we learn from today..?

We learned that if we play a team that absolutely can not score a single point in the last quarter (Suns) or play a decent team sliding backwards quick we just might win by 1 or 2 points if we play our best.

Firstly, well done. I'm very pleased with a win. Secondly, unless we win 13 games Richo and co have to go. In a five year rebuild we have to improve on field and on the ladder. Regardless of this amazing season of 3 wins - at least 1 was mildly decent, but the Suns win was rubbish against a team who...

Re: Sack the Coach (revisited)

I agree the assistants are needing to move on, but Richo is the number one person to fire. He is ultimately responsible for the direction of the team. He has little to no game plan.
He seems unlikely to change.
