Re: The Caldwell conundrum

I reckon he’ll be waiting until after their B&F. They’re probably sticking to their original date, which would of been scheduled for after the GF, as they can most probably still have a crowd and make some money. Glad we're not dealing with Carlton then, they're not holding their b&f until ...

Re: Who remonstrated with Cotchin ?

Didn't the headlines from Brisbane beating Richmond just 2 weeks ago focus on how the Lions showed that they weren't going to be intimidated!? About standing up to the bullies...?

Wasn't Leigh Matthews saying in regards to the unstoppable Bombers in 2001 "if it bleeds we can kill it"..

Re: Who remonstrated with Cotchin ?

I would've liked to have seen more than just Geary go over to Cotchin, even if it was just to tell him he's a wanker... But i also would've like a few 'harder' tackles on him too, or a player bump him every time he ran past, that ki d of think doesnt need to result in free kicks/suspension but it le...

Re: Post Mortem

Lonie, Kemp, Paton, Sinclair, Geary - no where near AFL standard. Neither is Marsh, but he's not one the 22. Our handball is woeful under pressure - the main difference between the two teams. Until and unless that improves, we can't be a threat. However, I think we all knew that the game was lost o...

Re: Why did we pay Carlisle $$$ ...

Should we routinely ask players for permission to play them? They get paid huge money to play about 50 hours of footy. They shoukdn't be allowed to opt out. I know we are all hurting right now but you are making a fool of yourself. No he's not. It's a valid opinion. I've expressed the same sentimen...

Re: Fantastic...but...

It's mindset. We went into the final quarter intent on just wasting time whereas we should have continued to play the same way that got us the lead. Simple as that. I think this is right to a degree In the second and third quarters we were counter punching and punishing them. Seemed like we didn’t ...

Re: GEARS SIGNS ON FOR 2021

I think he's about cooked but i reckon he'll be like a playing coach and spend majority of the year in the reserves teaching the youngsters.. and provide backup in case of injury.

I'd expect him to hand over the captaincy.

Re: You are the coach

If I was coach I would drop Kent and Geary for Bytel and Jones. Now before everyone goes apeshit, here are my reasons..... Bytel will at the very least match Geary's output and secondly it would give Bytel the experience of a pressure cooker final which will be invaluable going forward. Bytel is ou...

Yep. How they thought Coffield was a good match for Darling - befuddles. What was going through their heads? If they’d picked Clay for his first game and plonked him on Darling? That might have been strange too...obviously Carlisle. Would Roberton have been better? Their excuse would be that they w...

Our bottom six is proving to be rubbish. Kent, Hind... Really its curtains. They dont have enough to offer. 8 points up with what? Six minutes to go. And they LOSE BY FIFTEEN. Too many passengers. Everyone can say how undermanned WCE were, but we went in without six players as well. We didn’t go in...

Great coaching and game plan change after quarter time yesterday. It's nice to know we can get control of a game when required and not just play high scoring footy like we did in the first quarter.
