Re: Players' meeting
Melbourne also did a Bulldogs . And might win it again this year. No reason we can't win a flag if we do everything right. Unfortunately, making dumb decisions seems to be something of a contagion. How many times over recent years have I said to myself, "I hope they know what they're doing...&q...

Re: Had there ever been a more reviled player than Gresham?
Well, if Gresh ever ventures onto this site he certainly won't be staying.
It's a pity because other clubs want him for a reason. He has definite talent but hasn't been used properly, partly because he overestimated his own abilities as a midfielder, and partly because we have other goal-sneaks.

Re: Reality
True, our position at this stage exceeds all off-season expectations.
Nevertheless it's a demonstrative, embarrassing failure to squander an 8-4 start (again) and fail to make finals.

Re: Ladder predictor
Even if we win two, which is very unlikely, our impact in finals would be minimal. I would be happy finishing 11th and hopefully using the draft pick wisely. Making finals is good for morale and makes us more of a destination club. Languishing in no-man's land for years just makes us have to pay ma...

The august pundits at afl.com.au have us finishing 11th. I think that means they expect us to lose all four of our remaining games. Time to show these "gurus" a thing or two, lads. 1. Collingwood 2. Port Adelaide 3. Melbourne 4. Brisbane 5. Carlton 6. Greater Western Sydney 7. Western Bull...

66% time on ground and stats almost indentical to Billings and considerably better than Gresham.

Re: Ratts vs Rooey
Intemperate remarks from Riewoldt, especially in the run up to the North game, though it annoys me that the media has made it all about Ratten when clearly Riewoldt was talking about the club in general way back to Scott Watters.

Re: We have hit rock bottom
Stocker and Caminiti. These are SOS's first (and I think only) recruits so far and RTB has played them every game (minus Caminiti's suspension). No issue with Stocker. He's been a handy replacement for Long. Not great, but certainly worthy of his spot. Caminiti however hasn't warranted automatic sel...

Re: Footy Classified
I hear Lethlean is a top bloke. No opinion on this except to say that the Hammebury deal was arguably the worst in club history and Brad Hill has been massively overpaid to boot (though I doubt RTB agrees with the latter statement).

Re: Changing coaches has been a failure, IMHFO.
The energy and spirit had drained off this team, as it did last year, and that's ultimately on the coach. This is easily the worst patch of Ross Lyon's coaching career (at St Kilda, anyway). There are coach-strokers on here who will always convince themselves that our coach is the man. "Really ...

Re: Ross's Presser
The probllem with RTB suddenly blaming skill is that he's said loud and clear in the past that he doesn't coach skill, he coaches effort. With effort comes skill, as the team proved in the opening rounds. When the effort trails off, so does the skill. The effort was there when they were scared of him.

Richmond were lower than us in 2016. The following year they won the flag (In fact, we flogged them in Rd 15 of that same year.) Melbourne were lower than us in 2020 (we made the finals and they didn't). The following year they won the flag. Collingwood were lower than us in 2021. Now they're flag f...

History will show that RTB inherited a side he had little respect for. "I can't take this lot anywhere," if rumours are true. But the playing group were sure sh*tscared of him,. We've all heard stories of players doing heaps of extra gym work and training in the off-season. Voila. Season s...
