Geary is such a pleb

This is a really winnable game. In the two games after Mumford's injury they have been SMASHED in hitouts and centre clearances. Round 12 Hitouts 23-89 Clearances 30-58 (4-20 in the centre) Round 14 Hitouts 37-55 Clearances 37-44 (6-12) This is a massive game for Longer. He needs to back up lasts we...

I'm amazed with so many people calling for Ray to get chopped. He's come back from injury and is consistently getting over 20 touches and still adds plenty to the side. Why would we cut him? Just because he's older than the others? Fisher and Schneider are almost certain to retire or he retired. Cu...

Ditto, last two games have been really good!

Lets hold off on all the applause. He was good today, no doubt. But he was up against two part time ruckman at best.
McKernan helped himself to 19 touches today and still had 25 hitouts, despite being grossly inexperienced and shorter.

I honestly can't see them sacking him this year or even next.
Firstly, what coach in their right mind would want to walk in and take over with all the ASADA stuff still going on.
Secondly, if they sack him, they run the risk of opening pandoras box and watching him spill all the dirty little secrets.

Steven had 11 touches, four more than anyone else on the field. I love this stat more than Armo's 37 or Bruce's 5 bag. Signifies that our best running midfielder isn't just an outside pansy like so many others in the league. He doesn't just run one way. He gets down and dirty. This is the best stat ...

5 Armo
4 Steven (11 tackles to go with everything else)
3 Roo
2- Bruce
1 - Roberton

Genuine chance, Fyfe is due for a suspension

Agreed!

Only if he hasn't been involved with any of the after hours activities up there.

Have you seen the recent photos of Bennell?

Acres will be the best player from that draft

Sinclair to be upgraded? Big chance now. I think the lists are are done for this year. No more changes. But yes Sinclair will be upgraded for 2016 for sure (barring injury). I don't think that's right. I reckon you can't promote a rookie after about round 17. I am just going on this: http://www.sai...

Sandy home by 3

SAAD GOALS!

11 points now siren can't be far off.

Great contest on the wing by Paddy, Goddard sent a long bomb into the empty 50, ball would've gone 80-90m with all the bouncing, saad won the foot race and slotted it

Hickey free kick from the ruck about to have a shot.
Directly in front 40 out...
GOALS!

Back to 10 points

Hickey has rucked most of the second half and has done really nicely. Effective in the ruck but also around the grounds.
He and Holmes are a good combo together

88-84
Very scrappy last quarter.

Caleb Daniel is a genuine midget, but he is very impressive

Shenton just took a big pack mark and kicked another snag. His second
87 - 65 Sandy up

Paddy just came out on the lead full tilt, took it one hand just on the 50 with a sure right on him, found TDL closer to goal who slots it.

Paddy is a machine.
Woweeee

Paddy is having a blinder hahaha
4.2 has set two up and set up another chance that Saad completely stuffed

I really like Saad the person but as a footballer he has some tricks but really is soft and drops the ball or falls over. Turns certain goals into zilch Good VFL player. Can't translate it though, and is now behind Lonie, Sinclair, Billings ect ect and they all have the ability to go through the mi...

Are we playing Longer to boost his currency?
Holmes doing good things in the VFL. More agile than Longer and a much better tap ruckman.

If we let him go, someone else will pick him up. No doubt about it. The only question mark on him is that he doesnt do a massive amount around the ground. Goddard back on btw. Neither does Longer. Nic Nat much the same, gets 10-15 touches but gives the WC mids first use all the time. With Holmes fr...

Saad's inability to lay a block cost us a goal.

Goddard back on
Sandy up by 16 at the last break

75-53 Sandy. 5 mins or so to go in the third.

Bigred,
What are your thoughts on Holmes?
Do you think he can have a genuine crack at the AFL?
His tapwork is outstanding
