Milney and the Sleeves....

Aside from it being a cool band name, what is it with Milney and the sleeved guernseys this year?

Also, I reckon the clash guernsey looks absolutely ace with them.

Re: Round 8: TEAM v Crows

In my view, we're more likely to line up as below rather than as listed. I don't think Stanley's been named as a backman all year!

Re: disposal efficiency

If I recall correctly, at one stage in 2009 Zac Dawson and JB were two of the top most efficient disposers of the ball in the AFL..

Stats aren't always illustrative.

But I agree in essence, they're knocked too often.

Re: Kosi has played his last game!

Kosi has 22 June, 3 August and (finally) 25 August left as I see it, then, for his own sake I hope he says goodbye. I will scream my lungs out for the bloke, and possibly get a touch misty-eyed. I ran into him years ago at Princes Park, and was a ripping lad. The bloke has given everything for this ...

Re: Round 8: TEAM v Crows

I think its been said before... The only way Blakey adds to his games tally is as a backup ruck where necessary. Interesting to note Kosi is nowhere near the team, in years gone by he'd be a lock for the spot that Hickey may vacate. Its a bit hard for Kosi to play at the moment. He is suspended. I ...

Re: TEAM v Crows

the question is if Maister plays who misses out unless it is Wright but that may unbalance the side. If it is a forward is it Milne, Hickey, Milera, Saad or Siposs? My guess is Milera. Maister for Milera doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me. Not casting aspersions, but that would make us too top ...

Re: TEAM v Crows

Blake, Maister, Jones the emergencies for mine.

Dunell for Wright straight swap.

With the greatest respect of a club stalwart, if Blakey's in its a big step backwards IMO.

Re: Tom McDonald

As a example (albeit far fetched), would we entertain an EPL-style trade for him? Melbourne need hardness, run and experience in my view; would we be able to convince them that Curren or Ledger, plus Ray and a low pick? Would Staley for instance have any currency at all? We're going to have to pay ...

Re: Tom McDonald

I'd still go for another big KPD. Can't have enough depth in that area. I suggested Josh Bruce of GWS during the summer, and I stand by it still. Hasn't set the world on fire, but it's been a tough slog for those boys, particularly this year, and (at least with the kids) GWS hasn't been in the busi...

Re: Tom McDonald

I'd rather someone whose team wanted him to play than the alternative. Thompson has better players in front of him, but he's still not a first choice player when all things are equal. Didn't play a lot last year either, even when Adelaide was crying out for KPD. McDonald over Thompson any day of the...
