So...which is it? Lyon was shithouse last year but the players were good enough OR Lyon was the reason last year But....in 2024 Lyon is shitzen or its the players? If its Lyon...PROVE how he has significantly altered the game plan from 23 to 24. Whats actually accurate is the lay the blame across t...

Lack of talent, youth and experience = skill errors. It's what a hard rebuild looks like. Why is that so hard to understand leading supporters to want a villain to hate? We are well short of the talent and experience required to compete, that is all. It's a rarity for me to be on the same page as m...

Ross out Boris in, that’ll do me.

Stop talking s*** this ain’t happening, it’s not the coaches it’s the players and Ross and the club have a plan, if u care to listen to the club of bother to go to training and ask coaches questions you would know where we are This is a cop-out, we can't just blame the players. The list is measurab...

Put a fork in him, hes done. Taken a middle team and turned them into a bottom 4 side that cant score. For reference Geelong without a bunch of their best players go to Darwin, get flogged by 60+ points and still manage to kick 100 themselves. At least their supporters have some goals to cheer. We s...

Hastie would be my guess.

lol, just when he was showing decent form down back.

I’d be interested to hear from ppl on this forum that have experience with sales My understanding is if you’re wanting to sell, the strategy is to identify what an acceptable offer would be and to take it if it comes with a real emphasis to avoid the strategy of holding out/bluffing for a better of...

Geelong also could do with a CHF and relief ruck based on Friday nights performance.

How about Steven and bruce for their 1st rounder, then we use that for hill, throw in Newnes as well if they want.

Then we can take pick 5 to the draft.

Ratten, it seems to me, likes the long bomb into the forward line. I think he was responsible for it as an assistant at the start of the year (correct me if I'm wrong) and as caretaker coach he mentioned a couple of times that we need deep entries, not shallow entries, which means bombing it to 20 ...

Just looking at the stats and I see Hunter led the tackle count yesterday. He seemed to be going all right before getting dropped. I wonder if it was tough for him to come in feeling like he was supposed to perform as some sort of hybrid Lonie/Steven replacement. I said it in the match thread as we...

My thoughts on a few players: Joyce - Completely outplayed. Was dominated by Cameron early and gave up easy goals early. Moved to Himmelberg and Finlayson after quarter time. Would have to watch the replay but reakon he had at least 6 goals kicked by his direct opponents. Marsh - Tried hard and is a...

Sounds like billings and Bruce playing well so far. Up by 5 goals in the first.

The North game was pretty bad for all, but most of our tall's have been struggling this year. I was thinking it would be good to try something different this week, not really with a view to win the game (but it might help), but more to develop players and hope some find some form again. Not much we ...

Citywest have you considered this from the other side?

GWS believe Petracca is better than what they would get at 4 and 7 hence the offer, so it is such a stretch for St. Kilda to also have the same view?

I'm guessing Ross learnt a very hard lesson today, Ruckmen can win matches. I'm not saying Longer was best on ground, but for the first time in(oh forget it, I'm too excited to work out when) we dominated hit-outs and as a result centre clearances and when you dominate centre clearances the whole ga...

Whilst our recruiting was poor during that period the article is a bit misleading. 2 players listed as "gone" were traded. For Tom Lynch we got Newnes and for Jamie Cripps (and Brent Colledge via draft pick) we got Murdoch and Saunders. So that adds another 3 players that were an indirect ...

Just trowing an idea out there. We always seem to struggle against massive forward lines - Delaney helps but Fisher, Gwilt, Gilbert, Webster and Roberton are all undersized when a resting Ruckman goes forward as is becoming more common in the AFL this year with the interchange limits. This was evide...

Maister - Lee Billings - Lenny Webster (injured?, if not he keeps his spot and someone else must make way for Monty) - Montagna Roberton and Savage get a lucky break, but both had shockers, if there's another repeat from Roberton, I'd play Simpkin instead. Are you serious? Simpkin hasn't played a d...

Whilst there is not doubt this is an inexperienced team its probably the best they could do given injuries suspension and form. What I'll be looking for. #1 Tagger/stopping role - previously been Jones, he's getting a bit older now and geary is getting more time in the midfield. Both need to add a s...

I always overrate our players but I just cannot see this team finishing bottom 3 We did this year and have lost Dal, Milney and Ben and of the players we have picked up only Savage and Delaney will probably have any real impact this season. We lost a lot of games by a small amount, and had some pre...

Playing guys out of position....Unbalanced side.....Picking players out of form instead of those putting their hand up in the two's....I've seen this all before. Really... I would say he is picking those from the twos that have put there hand up. TDL, saunders and Dunnel were all in the best last w...

be better hen Well it's better to have a hen tomorrow than an egg today! Give the guy a chance; we need to find a few new players for a few positions but I have no doubt we will get there. Remember Ross Lyon turned a top 6 team into a team finishing 9 in his first year, change takes time.. and find...

Hang on, I thought he was Dustin Fletcher?! And Why is he better for the experience.... Dont understand that throw away line?? Perhaps SW might be better for the experience when he realises Stanley is not a key defender.... Never will be... Yes clearly BitMart is an idiot; We were identifying defic...

Is not the answer from what I have seen. No disrespect to the guy but is not an AFL class defender at this stage and has limited attacking skills.
