Third last is a fair summation of the season. I hope we get a few more wins but it is what it is. I will drink anytime and anywhere. I am a stella Artois man these days.


Parkey, I seem to recall I may have been on here eons ago under the nic of "half back frank"

1.5 games is a fact. What part of that dont you understand as fact? And your prediction of a pick no 3, thats laughable and a copout . Give us a win/loss scenario seeing that you are praising/supporting the current recruiting team and their selections...most of whom are playing this weekend and last...

Kelly has only played 2 /3 games hasnt he? I think this list is based on form over this year. A couple on that list are leading awards around the country so it is very strong.

ok....thats called knowing the subject your talking about. If he looks slow in the games that you have seen him then his future at AFL level doesnt look bright. Sounds like he is not taking marks or generally playing very well at all. A tough injury to get over but you would like to be seeing someth...

I would be hoping he had a few skills at least, especially playing in the mid-field. We will have to agree to disagree, but as a I said previously, if he gets picked this week he will have a golden opportunity to show us how good he is, he wont be alone of course.

Probably Gresham would come closest!!! although he has only picked up in the past few weeks. That is a top list of young players though and if we had one in there then we would be smiling a bit more often.

Just forget how good Young was but once you read his stats it all comes back...average nearly 3 goals a game...Thats very very good,

Dont give him an easy out Dud......Hickey is the man we got right now and that's it.

Playing the racist card junior....real shitman's act and entirely predictable. Have you contacted the club yet? and what about one of the aboriginals who played with Gwilt....contacted one of them yet? Or Contact Gilbert mcadam, he'd probably knock your block off if he got hold of you......

Linton, well put together. Only problem is that we have won 1.5 games this year and that blows the thinking of top recruiting right out the window and that's a fact. That stat means more than any other data on the planet. It cannot be disputed. It has been said 100 times on various threads that some...

What is the time frame for him though? we dont have years to wait for him to get back into the seniors. very mixed thoughts on goddard in this thread, some say he is cooked and others say he is coming good slowly.

Agree parkey, they have to be covered. Dont think Stevens will play again . Not sure about Roberton but he will be mighty hard to replace...an All Australian I think a couple of years ago. THis is where the recruiters will have to earn their money. I am sure there are a couple of good ones coming up...

Gwilt was not aboriginal but fair to say he was not white. I have no problem with him being on that list. Why dont you ring the club up and ask them about his inclusion, or better still ring up Nicky Winmar or x man and ask if he should be on the list.

Your a cherry picker, lets watch Dunstan this week...if he gets a game ....and see this "significant improvement" Your one of these types who counts cheap possessions kicking across the back line as good football where efficiency cant help but be good because they are miles on their own. B...

Longer, Gilbert, Brown and Weller probably wont get a game next year so it makes no difference to the win/loss this year so better off putting the young guys in. Most of them will get about 10/12 games this year so havent been pushed too hard. Couldn't see a young player picking up too many good hab...

But these guys still played so you have to take away the excuses. The club is seriously at fault if they played 3/4 players with injuries. Dont forget that some of these players finished off 2017 in good form and could not reproduce in 2018 I include Billings,Acres, Dunstan, Membrey etc in that lot....

Can recall that Sinclair kicked 6 against us last year and we have lost the last 8 against them and quite a few of those at Etihad.....Might be in some trouble I think

Geary will come back into the side there is no doubt about that and he is the current captain so he wont get pushed out the door in 2018 and 2019.They may have to rethink his role at the end of the year though. I am no fan of his either but they are just the facts IMHO.

desert saint...you need to learn .."one swallow doesnt make a summer"...you can cherry pick his highlights all you like but you still have no idea on what constitutes a skilled player....and he aint one.

Brown was hired to to a job and by and large he has done it. Kept the big boys quiet and added some size which we didnt have. Got no drive from him but we knew he wasnt that type of player. Added some leadership. He could have played loose and picked up some easy ball like a few of the others to imp...

Explain why they are going to be good players? Thats all anyone says here, they are going to be good players ad nauseum...... What are they good at? where are they going to improve? what should be the end point of their rise to be a good footballer in the AFL? Why arent they doing it now? How do the...

It would have to be 12 years

Agree with this: From a year ago relating to Roo "Roo and other forwards are getting poor delivery. And these are professionals." No way are our guys professional in the basic skills, this should have been recognised at the recruiting stage. These guys have been in the system for 3/4 yrs a...

If and when Brown is fit then it is good to have a choice of solid reliable backmen, looks like Roberton might be gone too so very important to get games into the younger backmen. Keep seeing Goddards name pop up but he doesnt seem to get a game. This may be Browns last year as well, he is getting s...

Pretty sure!!!!! does that mean 90% sure. Of course we won our first game against Brisbane at Etihad, and thats it. whats your point?
