Wilson is very impressive, reminds me of a better skilled version of Ed Langdon with his running capacity to cover the ground. Not saying he’s better than Langdon after 8 games. I think Wilson’s draft position potentially suffered as he was so professional and brilliantly prepared as a junior that r...

I really don’t see the point of having an NGA when you don’t have priority access to high end talent. The AFL are presently looking at changing the rules, either way I doubt any get selected before pick 40. Hopefully the rules change prior, but we will still need picks or points to grab them. Cam M...

I really don’t see the point of having an NGA when you don’t have priority access to high end talent.

Just my opinion: Webster - penalty was appropriate for the action Windhager - deserved a week King - nothing in it, no penalty Higgins - How does Allir trying to kick the ball and put himself off balance not affect the penalty for Higgins. Absolute joke, there was no sling and I believe no intent. A...

Rhys whilst looking all beast, appears very 'enhanced' these days.

Do posters on this site believe Dow is best 22?

I don't rate Dow highly, however assume he gets a run when fit due to the Crouch injury and our lack of midfield quality.

If we can recruit/ draft some midfield talent I think he becomes depth.

There is a very simple solution Killa, you could post less frequently

Ahh Herald Sun - that’d be accurate! Jones never played in the midfield He was never going to get a look in, they had A Graders in there Kennedy, Parker, McVeigh, Jack, Hannebery They played in a GF in 2016 Zak was in the team Who said he played mid at Sydney? HS is crap, but better than making up ...

Add the terrible record of John Beveridge's recruiting. He is described as a "guru", based mainly on the fact that he'd survived for 30 years. Check his record. It's shocking, overall. It was our trading in of players, such as Gehrig, Hamill, Penny, Guerra, Black, Powell, Lawrence, Voss, ...

Add the terrible record of John Beveridge's recruiting. He is described as a "guru", based mainly on the fact that he'd survived for 30 years. Not enough credit was given to Toce for the succesful drafting. Gags was good as well, but only from a SA perspective. Gags did a good job in iden...

I agree with BM's point, drafting is key. It is easy to say Geelong got a huge kiss on the d!ck with their father son selections of Hawkins and Ablett, but we got priority selections in 200 (#2 and #5 in the 2001 super draft) so I don't believe we have anything to bitch about. Geelong's drafting was...

Do you reckon the first three years at 4 games 11 games 16 games Has a bit to do with those averages Seriously Yep, it moves his average from 12.46 games per season to about 14. The situation as I see it, is Jones wasn't good enough to play in the Sydney midfield, we thought he could become a midfi...

What? I am just correcting someone who said he’s never been able to get on the park or play consistently I just reminded them he played 7 seasons at Sydney before he came to StK and we got him for peanuts Lethlean would have had ZERO to do with his recruitment He was NEVER involved in list manageme...

I think you might be dismissing Jones career at Sydney As a HB he played consistently well and rarely missed I think you might what to check his record at Sydney. Averaged 13 games a season and almost identical stats to his time at St Kilda. Great endeavor, decent pace, has a real crack but a c gra...

Sub is the only place for Jones IMO. He can come on and have an impact as he has some pace and ball winning ability. Jones is a c grade mid who has a couple of good traits being aggression and a bit of pace. He can be very good on his day, but he is not consistently a quality AFL standard midfielder...

Arie doesn’t have the tank or speed for a wing. He’s playing good footy but plays the role of Battle or Wilkie, two of our better and more durable players. Unless he replaces Sharman, in that forward/ back hybrid (nothing) role I don’t see it. I would love to see him get a run and bang a couple of ...

And another one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjBhpPSY6mA King is right - if that was Jimmy Webster it's multiple weeks Ben Long copped weeks for a very similar incident when he went to play the ball but got Sean Darcy's head with his arse .... verdict 3 weeks WTF, King being logical and making s...

Howard has played with some success as a key forward at PA.

If we are happy with Corey perhaps Howard plays forward with King, that gives us two pretty quick mobile 200cm types to match up on up forward.

I stopped reading after Stocker was left out and Battle was deployed to the midfield FFS

I guess even the ‘faunicated morons’ have the right to an opinion

The coaches of the 17 oppo teams endorse this thread wholeheartedly. After they stopped laughing. Imagine getting Nas, Windy, Owens in exchange. Then taking the cash and grabbing Tim English. Is it still laughable. English and Rowan swapping ruck/forward. Midfield depth sorted. All from trading one...

lol, family threatened?? Where? Show me. Glad you managed to find the real victim here Curly - the guy using the homophobic slur.
