Am i the only one on here that was, too an extent, pleased with the result? We were 50 points down at half time, in Perth vs the best team in the competition and managed to fight back to get within 17 points with 5 minutes left in the last quarter!! We were without a backline (no fisher or gwilt) an...

Wilkes has cost us two goals. Hopeless!!

“Sam Fisher remains in the squad at this point, we’re very optimistic that Sam is still a chance to play” Watters

is gwilt any chance to return or does he need another game in the vfl?

We would have to think about signing Michael Sikora from Sandy as a backup in case Macca goes down again or needs a rest. He might not be needed when Macca is fit as he, Kosi and Stanley could all share the ruck load, but Sikora would be great to have as backup. While on the topic of Sandy players, ...

Most of us knew that we wouldn't win last night, but I was pleasantly surprised with how we performed. For 3 quarters we were right in the game, and took it up to hawthorn, who will be a top four team. However, in the last quarter our youngsters ran out of legs, which is to be expected. I think some...

Ledger?

sounds like the same problem from last week, converting our chances!!

A back comes in for a forward. Oh well, so much for the youth policy.

No Youth Policy?? I guess Simpkin, Steven, Milera, Stanley, Newnes, Cripps must not be playing...

HB: Simpkin, Fisher, Dempster
C: Dal Santo, Hayes, Goddard

Agree with most of your opinions. Tanking bad. Gwilt for Blake.

Yes we did beat the eagles in Perth last year from memory.
We haven't gotten worse, but i think the eagles are a lot better.

Our best case scenario is to finish 6th, worst case 10th. I reckon we can make the top 8, but not expecting much at this stage. But with Gwilt, Schiends and Gram to return, and Ledger, Siposs, Ross pushing for a spot, along with Peake and Ray trying to get back in the team, there is still room for i...

Next year is the year Stanley will make a name for himself in the league, 1 full year playing at the elite level is exactly what he needs. He has a great booming kick, pace to burn, just needs to improve his contested marking which will come with increased body strength, and his decision making unde...

Really weak attack on the ball by cripps since he came on, doesn't seem confident at this level at the moment.

At half time, our two leading players for disposal efficiency are.....
Armitage (100%) and Jones (91%)
Savour this moment!!
