not sure about Kosi as it strikes me as a game where he can bully a young Suns back and maybe kick 4 or 5...Gunna be a pretty humid game temp wise so maybe we run the two rucks of the bench and rely on the three talls being Roo , Kosi and Maister....We will be top heavy but think this may work out ...

on the Lovett thing , had he not gotten mixed up in the unfortunate mess of that night then i would say he would be a damn handy player for us right now... i doubt Essendon people would have been able to predict what was going to happen on that night so as far as i can see they were right in their ...

Stanley is not a ruck I saw him ruck against Natanui until injured and looked OK. Hope Pierce comes on quickly because Mac can not get off the ground or palm the ball well. He seems best roaming the ground taking marks but in the ruck he just provides a contest. You don't get it... there's no point...

Does anyone else feel like they are being sucked into a nexus?

The only thing missing is a Simpsons avatar

Stanley is not a ruck

Tommy Curren for the No 1

Would like to see Tom Lee get Gehrig's old number

The next key defender we draft (Sandy's Xavier Richards wouldn't hurt) = No 8

18 for Dunell, and 35 for Vlastuin if we're lucky enough for him to slip to us

Milne would be about 6th-8th in B&F and Riewoldt would be the only other forward in front of him

Milney is 33 next year, not sure what the benefits of having a player keeping out developing players if we are are not a challenger.... Question.... Did we win last night because of Milney, or did Milney kick 5 because we won?? So why Milney and not somebody else - did the rest of the team put the ...

I think what last night showed was that, when Milne and Gram and Kosi go well, and Dal and Joey, the team lifts enormously. You know Riewoldt and Lenny and Sam Fisher are always going to make an impact. Some of our other stars regularly seem to get shut out/go missing during games. Perhaps this is ...

"Wog" short for "golliwog"

It's one thing to adopt the label - ironic or not - and another to apply it

No admission of error disguises the incompetence higher up

Jobs for the boys working for your membership dollar

I have a sneaky feeling our new gameplan will hold up against the bombers - could well snag a win in that one

As long as the midfield doesn't need reminding every 2nd week of the importance of the contests - consistency and a bit of luck with injuries - anything's possible

The media have started about 3 days too early... they'll sag like a punctured lilo

If the Hawks supporters on BF are anything to go by they are in complete panic mode - ripe for the picking

3.60 is great money - get on it

Sylvia is a dangerous inclusion for them - 20d 5t a game, and 25 goals total last year

He's like Schneider with a higher tackle count

I hope supporters do take Lenny's advice Seems to be a lot of people who are glad to see the back of Ross which makes you wonder why they're so upset about him leaving If Thomas was important for the club's self belief then Lyon was even more important for it's professionalism - both are integral pa...

The Port loss could simply be the loss we have EVERY year to that bottom/middle of the ladder average team who is just ordinary yet for some reason gets the jump on us. 2004 - Western Bulldogs - bottom the year before, coming off our first loss of the season in round 11 - the bulldogs at the time w...

Archer is in his third year on the rookie list

Any premiership team needs a dozen or so 100-game players

How many will we have in 2014?

5 years sounds about right

3 things

Great composure
Massive improvement in kicking
Stayed involved - ran the game out

Won't be losing his spot anytime soon with a performance like that

It's a funny crop this year - I've seen more promising signs from Dunell, Minch and Staley than from Markworth, Webster and Lever

Wasn't it reported he was offered 300 a year, Freo gave him 1mil over three? Scott certainly said he was a required player publicly. Of course Scott wanted him. But it was Pelchen's decision. And Pelchen stated quite quite clearly that he kept the players he wanted. That's even worse - so you admit...

Dawson walked because we "ran out of money"

Amazing what short memories some supporters have

I like what I've seen of Ferg. Hoping he can step up

Moory's right, tanking is not the answer. It only gets you 1 elite pick

The club needs lots of picks not a few high ones. Trading and delisting is needed and you don't have to tank for that
