The other aspect of the draw is that we have played Geelong at Geelong (how many sides beat them down there?), Sydney in Sydney, Brisbane in Brisbane and Fremantle in Fremantle And Hawthorn at the MCG and Docklands So the draw is doubly hard for St Kilda We are not playing Melbourne based sides twic...

IMO Luke Penny would have seen us win premierships (plural)

The question is how much better a side would we be with 2 genuine KPP defenders, so Howard and one other spreading Wilkie and Battle with their intercept abilities?

Instead of playing flanker sized players in KPP roles.

The same in attack with King.

And support for Marshall post Ryder.

Remember that last season Dunstan was dropped because we had Bytel and preferred to expose Bytel And Bytel played well, including hitting the scoreboard (which you really want your mids to do). The expectation was that he would continue in 2022 But, once again, injuries have impacted. Given a full p...

Clark is just too good to be playing VFL, other than on (severely, so 60% as a figure) limited game time as a part of recovery. And the description was "haphazard at best" The meaning of that description being exactly as described. Hannebery was on limited time, so frequently on the Interc...

With all the focus on Hannebery, who is overlooked is Clark His disposal early was haphazard at best but he corrected that and had an impact Clark has missed much footy over this season and recent seasons - and he has been a loss Notable also were the times Windhager was in the centre square albeit ...

Not that I wish to overly contribute to this Forum except to counter unfounded drivel, but, sitting in Row A behind the Interchange Bench, it was noticable that when Hawthorn countered with 2 goals in the third quarter, both Steele to the centre square and Hannebery to Interchange side wing were imm...

Why don't we just move on all players on our List - and start again from nothing. After all, all players on our List are crap. So we start by getting rid of Coffield, Clark, Gresham, Billings, Marshall and anyone else who has been impacted by long term injuries across their respective careers at the...

In regard this being a rubbish forum, to quote Macron, I don’t think, I know

"Me, as Manager, and the Coaching staff around him can do everything to set the right conditions so he can perform but in the end the player has to do it by himself. They have to take responsibility for their performance" ten Hag at Manchester United. Absent Ryder last week, we had just th...

If anyone thinks the Coach does not respond to unacceptable effort and execution they are badly misinformed

The communication is calm and reasoned

And we took Acres with the Pick after Dunstan As I understand there was no real reason to send Acres to Fremantle other than a return to his home State may see him fulfill the potential he most obviously had - so in his best interests family wise and career wise. Dunstan is still on an AFL List, as ...

And just to further make the point Brown had Lynch, Brereton had Dunstall, Carey had Longmire, Lockett had Lowe, Franklin had Roughead and so it goes on

King has who?

Therein lies the problem

King needs support Periodically he has had that support by Ryder and Marshall being forward - but only periodically As with our backline we are one very capable tall short - hence the opposition can double team King including by blocking There is Membrey but he is only midfielder size hence a bonus,...

In the first instance, to attract available players from other Clubs you need a selling point Quite frankly, our List as it was just a couple of years ago and having Seaford as HQ attracted no one Now we are on a different trajectory - courtesy of the administration, the Coach and the football depar...

Pick your first choice 22 (23) Put their statistics alongside (age, height, weight and games played) Then list those on our List not included in that 22 (23) And see what you arrive at Noting the Club has indicated it will review all players available as free agents to see if they would compliment o...

Any forward with good delivery from a mid field not under pressure will put immediate pressure on their opponent There is also the issue of denying space for a forward to lead into - or at least pushing them wide To present that Howard is poor at defending forwards on the lead is a nonsense as this ...

And just to add, because of the upcoming 6 day break (again!) there were players on managed time in the VFL today just in case they are required on Friday night The WB were in the same position but has more AFL experience on the park including some returning from our injury so probably needing one m...

Put Howard, Coffield and Clark back into our defensive 6, releasing Hill and Sinclair from the need to provide transition from defence and freeing Wilkie to play to his strengths And see who drops back to Sandringham Then analyse the List, noting that Howard is our only defender above 193cm, hence o...

Claravino is playing for South Adelaide - named as a back pocket in the win over Glenelg (a surprise including the margin) He had 16 touches (8 kicks) and took 7 marks also applying a couple of tackles His strength is his marking but is limited when the ball is on the ground, which deficiency was no...
