Re: The new whipping boy TDL

Embarrassing to watch TDL and Milera run around not prepared tp put their head over tha ball and crack in. You can go to any VFL or TAC Cup game and pick out half a dozen talented footballers who can play and will put it on the line. Having all these outside players waiting to get on the end of it b...

Re: My best 22 & squad of 30 for round 1 2013

Nathan Wright is good enough to play in 2012 especially given our limited midfield options.

Re: Saunders highlights package?

His final series in TAC Cup got him drafted. Great speed and an outside runner in the Montagna mold. Will need another preseason. Thanks for the laugh - reference to the great man and Lenny.

Re: Draft strategy

Nick Graham will be gone before it's our turn. Big concern for me is that we draft one of the two TAC Cup mids that are too slow but will probably go in top 30. Our recruiters need to be all over this.

Re: Draft strategy

We are going to recruit a very good player at either 41 or 44. I am glad he is not in the so called top 30 above. Will be a better player than who we select at 25/26. There is only one other club onto him.

Re: Pelchen states 5-6 ruckmen...

Message to our recruiters - surely you are looking at Darcy Fort. He is 19 and is very much in the Jolly mould. Did well on Ottens in GFL early this year before Falcons latched on to him. Easliy the best ruckman in TAC cup.

Re: Poor kicking...or poor decisions?

Go to any TAC Cup game and watch the foot skills and you walk away dissapointed with our recruitment over the past few years. Sure we have plenty of goers but the foot skils of our younger players are along way behind what is available in the market place. Recruitment at the national draft of young ...

Re: Saints v Cats Match Thread

The game has changed so much in two years. No good having players who have a crack, get their fair share of the ball but are not great disposers by foot. This is a big issue with our current list and the younger players we have recruited. Ross did an amazing job, didn't appreciate it enough at the t...

Kosi is yet to have a disposal. It is disgraceful that he gets a game week in week out. If I read one post on here tonight that says we need him for structure I am going to ......

Re: Game Thread.. Syd v Stk

Unless the ball lands on top of his head Kosi is useless. We really do play with 17 with him in the team for 95% of the game.

I wish he kicked left foot as he takes me back to the seventies. We will all be happy if he is half as good.

Pretty easy Spud to work out those that have very little feel for the game. His courage has been highlighted by numerous media outlets tonight.

Re: Is Kosi fair dinkum

We just cant continue playing him to support Roo. Its going to be a tough call for the Coach given his standing with the players but its time. Stanley, Roo and Sippos with the smalls.

Dont think the coach would agree with Steven in the votes. Plenty of the ball and usual great effort but decision making was ? at times tonight which hurt us.

Re: R12 Game thread v Adelaide

Great effort just poor conversion cost us. Very positive going into second half of season given game plan and ball movement coming together. We will definitely make the 8.

Re: Clarke

Terrible call, he has showed great courage and his run is improving each week. Makes a few mistakes by foot but he's not on his own. Good performance tonight just poor conversion. Looking good for second half of the season given few injuries and better ball movement.
