Geary is playing a role that you cant help get possesions, running virtually unaccountable across half back. His disposal is far from that of a play maker and lacks penertration. He coughed the ball up more than a few times on Saturday with panick driven handball. Playing his role his efficently mus...

Hodge plays a lot of his football across half back were he uses his hardness and penertrating kick to set up play. Geary doesnt have the pace to play the running back role. You cant have him and Gram playing attacking roles. Geary was lucky he wasnt pitted against Chapman on Saturday. geary isn't s...

Harvey Dal and X are both types of mids out and inside and you could argue that a fit Ball runs and carries as well as anyone. Geary just doesnt have that one outstanding quality to his game that puts him ahead of a host of others. He hasnt got explosive speed his disposal is good at best and his s...

I wouldnt mind seeing Gilbert play on Lucas. Its games like these were he can see if he can handle a key role.

Blakes problem was illustrated n the weekend when he got the ball in space on the wing. He started to run forward then realised he was being chased on would be run down so he stopped and looked for support. By the time support arrived he was only able to get off a half arsed handball which was part...

Were does he play then? He would be in the back half along with the above players. You will have Max,Chips and Goose as the talls so that leaves 3 spots. Gram youd think is a certainty along with Raph. Gilbert will play across there to. Geary wont rotate in the midfield with Dal Hayes Joey Ball HARV...

Geary is a dime a dozen type player were as Armitage is a pure midfielder. Geary will compete with 6-7 others and unless he has something about him that is far superier he may have to wait his turn. who is he competing with curly? one is an outside mid while the other is an inside mid. We actually ...

Why do people rate Geary above Armitage it astounds me. Armitage is far superior to Geary its ridiculous.

Watched the replay of the Geelong game again and three individual efforts from Blake show why hes in our best 22. A/ Stood his ground under a hospital pass from Geary on the wing with extreme preaure bearing down on him. He could easily of pulled out let the ball be punched out of play and waved his...

Lucas certainly is a top 5 forward. And if Lloyd can remain injury free he'd be a chance as well. Their goal-to-goal line is as good as anyone's IMO. You can't be serious. He's good but not top 5. Is he better than....? J Brown Tredrea Franklin B Hall Roo G-train Pavlich Lloyd Brad Johnson Neitz Fe...

Typical media beat up BS. Why do they not believe what we say. :roll: It seems bringing back to stars means we are going to try to win the comp again. More comfortable than I was this morning with Friday now. Bring em on! :D Probably the fact that we lead them on a merry dance last year regarding i...

I'd still nominate Milney as the weakest tackler on the team from what I've seen so far. I was hoping the Melbourne Storm trainer would have worked the most with Milney as it is an area he really needs to improve on. He does lots of other things well, and let's give him some credit, as he has impro...

If only he could kick as well as BJ.

that nine pointer he got wasn't to ugly.....

Eddy never kicked a nine pointer

Have to agree on this Armitage looks everybit a ready made AFL midfielder hard at it, finds the ball in close and has a penertrating left foot. The thing I like most about him is that hes in where the heat is and is earning his possesions. The comparison between him and Geary are laughable while Gea...

But hang on after badly breaking his leg he struggled early on surely we must delist him. What are we thinking giving our first choice CHB time to get back to his best? Obviously our couching staff know nothing!!!!

Not even credit where credit due. I bet you refused to listen to him on the radio the other day, just because it was Rix...sad Credit is not due when your opponent has an extra 16 disposals, 7 marks and 3 scoring shots. Regardless of who the player is, that is a poor performance. Stats once again t...

I have serious doubts about Goose. I do not believe he fits into our current gameplan. Whether the gameplan was made without him included is an interesting point, too. He will also lack confidence in his fitness, ability, and also in his leg and foot. I've not set my hopes too high for '08, but hop...

If someone offererd us a pick 9 for Gram wed take it.
Mcevoy and Armitage value at Stkilda is extremly high as they are potentally our number 1 mid and number 1 ruck. Unfortuanatly thats how it is in the AFL.

Gram has played one really good season. The others Armitage and Mcevoy should be top liners in two years time.

Take out Gram and BAKES and replace with Ball and Mcevoy/ Armitage. Two experienced, well performed senior players for a rookie and a one year player? You must be kidding. Ball and Gram have more value than Armo (pretty good, but not seen enough of him yet) and McEvoy (who has not played minute one...

Hes still not the worst 4 choice ruckmen going around the AFL. We could still have Ackland or that donkey Bryan.

Take out Gram and BAKES and replace with Ball and Mcevoy/ Armitage.
