every club has injuries. Ball and Baker in our best. Dempster is ok - but no match winner. X Clarke has never delivered consistenly and never been a match winner. The game may have passed Maguire by, and I think Attard is interchangable with C Jones, Eddy, Maqualter. So our best team was really miss...

Eddy was ok today and I'm glad they played X because he will be better for the run. Today was always going to be about finding out where we were at.

For mine, C Gardiner gives us nothing when the going gets tough.

Why wouldnt you play X ? On raw football talent, X is the best player currently available to come into the 22 the football public expects us to lose, so whats the risk ? if X breaks down I would rather he breaks down in week 1 than in the middle of the GF. If he doesnt break down then he has gained ...

BJ has always been a solid performer - and unfairly compared in the media with Daniel Wells who is a lot more flashy but nowhere near as consistent as BJ. I think since coming back from his knee injury he has just decided to start imposing himself .. and I think 2009 will see him move up to level pe...

5 of those games are against teams that are below us on ther ladder. Regardless of where those games are played, we should be good enough to beat teams below us. If we cant, then we are a crap team. So that means we finish the season with a minimum of 12 wins - maybe just enough to sneak in - maybe ...

if by "tanking" you mean play the kids and throw the team around to find out who can show something playing in a differnet position eg playing Goddard in the middle for 3 or 4 games straight .. then the answer is yes.

Kosi is a full forward who can pinch hit for small bursts in the ruck. His greatest strength is his pack marking so he's more of a "stay at home" full forward than a "lead up" full forward. Goddard is a smart wingman who knows when to push back and when to drift forward to provi...

Whenever we lose a few games everyone calls for the coaches head. So we sack the coach, get a new one every few months and repeat it all over again. This is why we will never be successful.
