Re: Match Thread: Saints vs Hawks
Rebuilding to me Means you are changing your core and building a different list Virtually no club does it that way these days. And in the old days even less. North have tried to. The Hawks to some extent. No other club has, and certainly not in just a couple of years. North years ago were first mov...

Re: Is it time to play Pou at HBF
I would pay Pou on Half back line it would allow him to get his hands on the ball build confidence and he would have a lot of experience around him. Its about decision making as he has a big kick he could really turn into a weapon there. Once he gets confidence back move him to where ever coaches w...

Re: Darcy Wilson
Our most impressive first year player since Rooey ? Rooey only played 6 games in his first year,. Wilson's first 8 games are more impressive that Rooey's first 6. Wilson could well play every game this year given his current form, and so as most impressive first year player as a measure is likely t...

Re: Moving the magnets
All great points sRr. One worth dwelling on is: Can Shoenmaker become a genuine CHB and take the 2nd tall forward? I think not in his first 20-30 games at AFL level but that should be the goal. Height is overrated from key defenders. We trust Wilkie at 191cm to take on some pretty big forwards. It'...

Re: Moving the magnets
We are in a stage of the season where we are seeing some magnets move around the board at a fast pace. I want to ask some questions of you all. Sharman - Having the least productive season of his career. What's his position? This year I don't thing he knows as the Coach is throwing him all over the...

Re: Arie SCHOENMAKER
Arie doesn’t have the tank or speed for a wing. He’s playing good footy but plays the role of Battle or Wilkie, two of our better and more durable players. Unless he replaces Sharman, in that forward/ back hybrid (nothing) role I don’t see it. I would love to see him get a run and bang a couple of ...

Re: Charlie Cameron suspended stiff to not get the StKilda tax
As part of the Tribunal Ruling, Cameron deemed a Good Bloke and gets off as a result!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Could we get a selection surprise this week?
As I’ve said before, thank goodness fans don’t pick the side. Thursday’s game is close to being a must win for us and we have fans calling for the selection of unproven and (from what I’ve seen of them) unexciting first year players. Garcia looked like he might be something in the pre-season practi...

Re: Trade King
The rest of the forwards must understand that they are just as good as King and to present in their own way and not play second fiddle.

Re: Garcia. Great Debut
From inside sources - P hillipou has asked for more time in the midfield to learn the craft. Considerably hard position to learn. Which is probably why some of his games need to be at Sandy where he can play as a mid all game. He came to us a year early, so in some ways one should think of this as ...

Re: An early season test for our coaches
It’s been a bit of a roller coaster so far… 2/2 with a combined losing total of 13 points Injury ravaged list Some what erratic form With a little bit of luck, we could have been 4-0 . Certainly the Essendon game is one we lost rather than one that they won… and we’re pbly all feeling a bit relieve...

Re: In Search Of A Silver Lining
Dow and Henry were both meant improved our midfield this year. Henry showed he can. Dow is not yet in the team. Crouch was good for our midfield last year, but started this year proppy, then got worse. So our midfield is now worse that it was last year. Not better, though it may improve later in the...

A slender physique hasn't held Bobby Hill back. Collard looks the goods. Yes, he needs to become stronger to survive the physical rigors of the AFL, but retain his pace and maintain a "wirey" type of strength, for example like Tuck, Bartlett, Fletcher et al. from back in the day. Booby on...

Poo is less than two weeks older that Arie. He is still very young at only 19 years, 3 months, and bodywise he has a long way to go. Most young players do not arrive as physical beasts like say Windy has. Bodywise he is still quite boyish. I would tend to believe that only from next season we will g...

Crouch, who has just entered the last season of a four-year deal worth $700,000 per season, triggered a fifth year of a contract when he played his first game in round two against Geelong. There you go That's why he put his hand up to play in round 1 Let's hope he can regain some of his best form f...
