Sportsdelivered is the best place that I know of. They used to be located in Richmond, but that was several years ago.

I would have thought the better analogy was to compare kicking a goal to a fast bowler just getting a wicket. Anyone would get fired up with their success (wicket or goal) but their is a downside in that eventually the player will get too tired to continue to perform at the same level. I agree with ...

It would be quite a waste if Armitage was dropped since he is one of the very few mid-fielders we have that can actually kick a goal!

I am seriously disappointed with our delivery to our marking forwards. The delivery has been to the advantage of the Adelaide players almost every time. The Adelaide running is showing us up badly at the moment, The look far fitter and we we are not tackling them. What I don't know will all that run...

Was Gardiner at FF because this was the QTR that Kosi had off the ground? They said he was only going to play 3 QTR's.

The greatest one I witnessed "live" was Plugger's 1994 match vs. Sydney where he won the match off his own boot in the last quarter. It was just unbelievable what he did that day.

I've always wanted to see Kosi Captain the team for one year. He just seems to take the role upon his shoulders and then grab a game by the "scruff of the neck" and make it his own. He seems to take the responsibilty upon himself to lead us to a win. Kosi is a more straightforward simplist...

I hope he will play more of the young guys after what we have seen. Their bodies won't be able to stand up for a full season in nay case so I hope the best ones each get some game time rotation this year so they can be a better contributor next year. I can certainly see Geary, Armitage & Allen g...

I like the fact that Charlie does have a good motor and he could even do some rotation through the mid-field. I see the fowards, at this stage (always subject to revision based on form), to be Roo, Kosi, Gehrig, Milne, Schneider and Charlie. I'd like to see this tried at some stage but these are all...

Can anyone comment on why Ben McEvoy hasn't gotten ANY game time? I haven't heard any statements about either "protecting him" or that he is injured. Since he must be close to the same age as LVR I thought we might see him in action at some stage in the NAB Cup. Appreciate hearing from any...

I'd still nominate Milney as the weakest tackler on the team from what I've seen so far. I was hoping the Melbourne Storm trainer would have worked the most with Milney as it is an area he really needs to improve on. He does lots of other things well, and let's give him some credit, as he has improv...

Please note that his surname is Steven and NOT Stevens.
Nice to a "matchwinner" in one of your early outings! I'm sure he won't forget that. He does look a very good prospect for '09 and is living up to his reputation prior to the draft.

Very pleased (& pleasantly surprized) to win today. I was also very pleased with the tackling after the 2nd QTR. I read in "Inside Footy" that we have had a "Tackling Coach" from Melbourne helping the team tackle better. Boy, did we need that! The 1st QTR bothered we with the...

I'd still like to see him actually get tried in the position for which he was recruited, as "Forward". We have been crying out for a mid-sized HFF who can mark & kick goals ever since Aaron Hamill could no longer fill that role. He was an AA U18 Forward, for god's sakes, and I'd just l...

If my memory serves me right Gilbert was taken as our next KP backman. My memories of Max when he started were that he seemed fairly similar. A bit "lanky" but quick who started as the 3rd tall backman (playing in the BP) and Max was not ready for a KP for many years as he took some time t...

Johnson is the new model (a good one) and Ryan O'Keefe is another variation. Pettifer would also have been good. I'd just like to see Ferguson TRIED as a HFF as he is the right (in-between) size, can mark and can kick goals. Just for gods sake give him a trial in the pre-season games at least. He wa...
