Raph really is the whipping boy on here now isn't he. I have given it to Raph in a game or two because of perceived lack of effort, which is a pet hate, however, I believe I have been too tough. Raph is playing the in the backline and as a tall, with little consistency in his game time over any leng...

Heard that too ha ha

What tossers, both of them.

Harvs has not had a good pre season, but he wouldn't, the NAB cup is for youngsters and march champions up to this point.

Watch him come out and star next week at AAMI stadium, the ground he loves.....

Was very happy with Schneider and King for that matter. Gardiner was solid enough and in the last quarter really did contest well up forward. Thought Allen showed a bit and was super impressed with Armo, his tackling is a real weapon. Really enjoyed the use of Joey and Dal tonight as well. One thing...

Not a CJ fan normally, but thought tonight he was better in heavy traffic and made a couple crucial turnovers with his pressure and tackling.

Never will be a world beater but may just need a little confidence with his disposal because his hands aren't much better than his kicking....

Who are the 9 in front of him just out of interest?
Not necessarily disagreeing mind you..

I have no bias, I want every player on the list to do well. Milne was ordinary in the first 3 qtrs, and was good in the 4th. Issue is, as a senior player playing against effectively the cats ressies, he should be in the best imo. Birss is struggling for mine. Fiora needs to get more of the ball but ...

I am trying to like C Jones, I really am.
I just feel he is too weak in contested situations and he gives the ball up too easily for turnovers.
Maybe he will be better with A graders around him, but when he has the ball I shudder....

worried about max, g will have to psh it for round 1 but they would have rested both before round 1 anyway. good to hear about kosi darren what a win, that was intense for a preseason match, the boys deserved it sooooo much well done! lets go out and try and win the 300k, nice for the bottom line! ...

What a load of garbage.

We should be at home next week win or lose.

The Lions played in Qld last week, we shouldn't play interstate two weeks running.

Simple.

Same from me, not on my card, but from memory was on my renewal notice.....

I'm in, cheers guys

Agree on this, just a little disappointed what he did with the ball that's all....

Big pluses X man- great game in the middle, one of the best I have seen him play King - will be very solid Geary - goer Armitage - worked his way into the game, and looked very polished M Gardiner - just playing a game Blake - very good Jack - did some good tough things in and under Raph - very soli...

Where was that from. The club Thanks. Did you get an email. Yeah mate, should have mentioned that initially , just wanted to feel important I guess :wink: How do you get those emails. Are you able to tell me. Just be a member and put ur email address on the application form Im a AFL member with Sai...

Don't read it if you don't like it, its not like the title is ambiguous.
I for one am interested and enjoy it.
Keep it going.

I love these: B Baker Hudghton S Fisher HB Gram Maguire Dempster C Montagna Hayes Gilbert HF Schneider Kositzcke Riewoldt F Milne Gehrig X Clarke R King Dal Santo Ball INT M Gardiner Goddard Harvey R Clarke EMG Armitage Birss Blake L Fisher Dempster and Schneider to provide desperately needed run Ki...

Didn't see the 99 year, thought it was 90's, Pekin was well gone...

Tim Pekin, think I can spy a 1 on his back, from memory Pekin was 41???

The really sad thing about this whole thread?? If it had've been GT who dinged his Merc..those laughing at RB would be telling everyone to leave GT alone..and those who are currently saying its a nothing story would be all over it in hysterics :shock: Its amazing what you can glean when you dont sl...

I like the story, if you don't like it, don't read it....

I like it, and I won't get over it.

I need a new jumper, but will not buy one until I can buy that exact one, pfft sponsors, the sponsors logo looks fine to me.

I want the candy stripe beanie to come back as well, the new one is very ordinary....

Thanks St M.

As per usual we have injury worries and one or two blokes on the list that will never hold down a regular senior spot

Big Carl was one of the culprits back in 66, the other one was his mate from Brighton High.....

So i am told....

Don't care how or why we decided on Farnkston, I just thank god every day we didn't go to Casey.... How dare we listen to the players and consider them on where we went :roll: Do we not know how hard it has been for the Cats to attract big name players down to Gellong because of their location, how ...
