Phillips...still a baby who's barely played at this level. To write him off is ridiculous. The good thing about him is that he can find the ball and in most of his games for us so far he's had more than 20 possessions. He'll get better. He's tracking as well as his brother at the same stage. Newnes...

100% - I can’t have him. Horribly overrated. Slow, can’t kick, one sided, doesn’t hit the scoreboard.

Him and a Dunstan can both just fvck right off

Disagree about Dunstan. He gets amongst it, but Ross won't, or can't, win a hard ball, or run hard defensively.

Footskills. That was the number one reason we lost. We did enough of the rest well enough to win. But blew some good chances to set up goals WC by contrast had some good fast breaks where they hit targets and goaled. That is why we lost and they won. We have too many one-dimensional left footers wh...

Definitely!!! Mobs of potential! But both need a spell in the twos.

Throw Bruce down back to make him more accountable. It may just spur him on.

Joyce has an upside. He can mark, run and tackle. He was out of his depth today. Richo should’ve put Marsh, or Bruce on Cameron and free Joyce up to take intercept marks, or kill the contest.

Bruce just isn't that good. Outside of a few spectacular grabs and that 50 goal season (which I will get to shortly) he is severely overrated on here. - He isn't overly quick - Far from a reliable set shot - A relatively poor contested mark (outside of the few hangers that he's taken) We've all hea...

Brown is not the answer. He plays like a witches hat. He can’t, or won’t, jump, mark, run, tackle, or commit his body. He’s being paid good money to play bruise-free football. Cameron would have had a double field day on him. Bruce has similar lazy traits. He wants to play old-style wrestle football...

Swing some changes. Brown, Kent, Longer are one dimensional passengers who need to be dropped. Lonie and Bruce injured. Bring in some youth and enthusiasm!

Wilkie
Marshall
Lonie
Billings
And Ross, Long & Savage

How good is this guy? Reads the play beautifully, has great poise, pace, toughness, a deadly left foot and exceptional decision-making.

I must've missed something....what was a free kick paid to Freo after the head clash for?

Bruce needs to create an option by leading hard and fast instead of looking to take a pack mark.

Throw in Brown. He needs a stint in the 2s to regain his confidence in clunking marks and getting to contests. Plus he needs to work on his chasing and tackling skills. He tends to lope and point. It's like he's running in buckets of treacle.

Josh Bruce's hanger had shades of Ian Cooper plastered all over it!!! I wish I had a copy of it to compare!

Josh Carr managed to pull North Adelaide from last in 2017 to premiers in 2018, with a considerable slump in the middle of this season...I like the character of that effort much better, some serious motivational skills in play. Shouldn’t have even played in the Grand Final after getting caught with...

Dislike both teams’ supporters intensely. I haven’t been to any games in Perth for yonks and have no inclination to attend games at Optus oval as getting there requires traveling by public transport and being jammed into train carriages with a bunch of Eagles’ supporters who have no idea about how t...

Just watched Subiaco (coached by Jarrad Schofield) flog West Perth by 81 points in the WAFL Grand Final. Undefeated all year, Subi hammered every other team including the Eagles and Dockers reserves teams. Could he add an element of hardness missing in the Saints approach? Schofield was a tough, att...

Will history repeat itself? Hudgton and Ball in 2010 and just as gut-wrenching seeing Harvey in the Collingwood wood rooms after tonight’s game delighting in the Magpie victory. I don’t begrudge him celebrating something he played an active part in achieving. It’s just at the wrong club!!!

The man speaks in uninspiring cliches. His ‘outstanding’ references suggest that we should have had a successful year. Yet, the opposite occurred. Why? No issues were addressed.

I wonder if I was the + one to make it 45 000. I hadn’t renewed my member this year after 27 years and received a letter last week with Mr Finnis informing me that RSEA had kindly paid my membership for the rest of the year.

Thank goodness for that!!

Flick the witches hats: Brown and Carlisle!!!

I’m not having a go at Marshall. It’s the ruck coach who should be given the flick. Marshall had his share of centre bounce knocks but most were sharked by Essendon.

Marshall doesn’t look at the ball at centre bounces. He looks at the opposition ruckman.
