I agree with this. The umpiring cost us today

Josh Bruce for pick 48. They didn't use the pick.

The Age again reporting that he, "feels let down by the club". Hard to see how someone who feels let down by the club and is suing them for $1m can be enthusiastic about staying. The Age also reporting that several clubs have approached him and that he would be worth two first round picks...

I would say it is the bulldogs. We will continue to purse NZ which is a much better venture long term

5 years $800 a year probably next captain....would be a massive get. Classy midfielder, plays well in big games and a leader. He is also very much someone the kids will com to the footy to watch. He just has to want to come to us....if the Carlise thing helps....what a great recruiting decision :wink:

Brisbane
Carlton
Essendon

Stop Sam Mitchell And their Wingers/HBs And Sicliy. And Gunston. And Breust. And Rioli. And Lewis. Easy. Said Gunston and Breust Lewis isn't as dangerous as Mitchell and both Sicily and Lewis can't use the footy if we have it....doggies showed how Lewis will struggle if made to be the no 1 midfield...

Hope so

Without Hodge and Rhead they are vulnerable and their best players ie. Mitchell and Lewis are not overly quick. Stop Rioli and Mitchell and move the ball quickly. If we can win clearances and our young fellas up forward put pressure on at ground level we have a chance......but if they are able to re...

His name has popped up in a few other threads but he deserves his own. Plenty of people on here consistently knocking him....saying he isn't up to it....should be dropped...blah blah blah. The kid is going to be a 250 gamer for out club and has captain written all over him. A general in the midfield...

Roo out Membery In
Roberton out Lee in
Paddy out Acres in

All through injury. Still don't feel comfortable with Gilbert in the team just don't know where his spot is....while his goal was amazing he struggles as a forward..? He will play next week though.

Alright to critisise but some the things posted during rhe week was appalling

100% agree with this

St.Kilda supports do not like going to the MCG and I know many will not attend Collingwood games with their families. Also doesn't help when you play like vomit the week before.

Meant in future tense
Has very much the potential to be all australian as a defender.
Please remember this is the 'positive' thread.

Depressing

It's, IMHO, just patent nonsense. no what is patent nonsense - comparing the prestige of pick 1(2) to pick 5(6) So once again: many draft pundits had Francis ahead of Parish and clearly it makes no difference to EFC with picks 5 & 6 who they call first... And in case it needs to be repeated - m...

Just don't see where Gilbert fits anymore. Acres for Gilbert Gresham for Minchington Newnes susp in Lee.....Lee plays on Cloke, Fisher released to run off half back. Geary is Richos love child, even praised him in his press conference.....Geary is going nowhere....but definitely my 22nd favourite pl...

You know what that comes down too? Pre-seasons. A lot of our blokes are only into their 2nd or 3rd pre-season. Believe it or not, three pre seasons aren't going to make you an elite runner. The Doggies actually had a (slightly) less experienced and younger side than us playing last night. What is y...

It is a two way street. The club sell a story to fans that is basically bulls***. Id prefer it if the club was a bit more honest. A little less of PR spin. We pay them for membership - in my case even though I live interstate and am an MCC member in any case. They call us selling raffle tickets etc...

Move on [emoji849] It is also pure speculation that with only one pick EFC would have taken Parish anyway - they may have gone for "immediate needs/future needs" Aaron Francis we simply will never know - EITHER way the fact remains the Saints have paid a heavy price for a pick that was at...

Agree with this, can't believe we got Carlisle instead of Weitering..looks excellent and it kills me we missed on him....

Because there has been a tone of hysterical negativity floating around this thread is dedicated to the positives. I looked back at Jade Greshams 2015 highlights....the kid will be an elite mid in my opinion. His highlights are as good at Darcy Parish and Clayon Oliver when comparing them and he seem...

Fisher
Dempster
Rooey
Newnes
Billings


Montagna
Armitage
Steven struggled..

Not started yet so thought I would

Out Gilbert In Membry
Out Gresham. In. Acres

If Newnes goes for a week Minshington should get a run also

Apart from that have to keep rolling with the young kids....not many other options.....
Unless Farren and Schnider want another run?
