Bad luck to all those delisted. Must be very tough to take. Brooks: Has/had all of the tangible tools to make it...injury really hurt him, as did a couple of bad games...a very good player who could coast through easier competitions, but clearly lacked the intangibles to make it in the big leagues. ...

Even if the draw was made random it would still be unfair fact is, you can't avoid the unevenness of the fixture given that, i don't really have a problem with it being manipulated in order to attempt to get more money in for the game we had a great run in 2007 with the draw and shouldn't complain -...

We get our goals from fast, clean ball movement more than we get them from players A and B... you'd do better with relative hacks like Cam Mooney getting silver surface than with Justin Koschitzke trying to pick it up off his bootlaces in a crowd everytime... we'll also go a long, long way getting e...

The most effective ruckman in the game have height as sandilands, cox, lade, fraser etc are all over 200cms and are able to dominate. Your view is too narrow...the fact that Lade is 198-199cm (from memory) illustrates my point... who cares if they're 201 vs 200cm...no difference...sure, sandilands ...

probably the best clips ever posted on this site

thanks a million

the question is moot

at the moment, king is in better form for sure

but there is a pre-season for that to change, let alone fitness

i have no personal preference...whoever is better will do

the full forward no longer exists the forward 6 doesn't even exist kosi and roo are our best forwards, so you would say they would receive a lot of our ball carriers' attention... but the thing you need more than a full forward such as kosi is plenty of options i'm excited about milne/schneider/x/mi...

until i read it from the club, your credibility is in limbo

you may be right, but it ain't fact yet

Key forward: Kosi Roo Allen Brooks Watts Goddard – really a midfielder Key Back: Max Maguire Allen Sam Fisher - flank Gilbert - midfielder Raph – midfield/flank Ruck: Kosi - forward King Gardiner Brooks – more forward Rix Blake – utility Van Rheenan Based on this, in terms of talls only Bro...

difference between the actual winning of a premiership and being a 'premiership player'...the act of winning doesn't actually make you much better...

trust me, king didn't jump 10% in performance because of a 2hr game

being a 'premiership player' is grossly overrated... for what it's worth, schneider is a very good get... dempster and gardiner are vfl players really...with fitness, a wake up call, a connection with ross, and some luck they could become valuable...but really, it's close to just wasted cap space (e...

With dempster, we have to trust Ross Lyon here...just have to...but then, why would Roos let him go...? Really, Lyon knows this guy well, he could release other players and hold his own as well...at the proposed price, its a great get. Schneider is especially inviting and is close to everything Ross...

Seeing Greg Swann heavily involved in Carlton's dealings got me wondering about Archie's role in trade week. Presumably, all CEOs are used because of their negotiation skills. So, do they have a say in who we pursue or are they simply given instructions such as we want player X and are willing to gi...

i think brooks has more potential than watts as a forward, but obviously all 3 need to be tried in some capacity allen was promising as a junior and it's a big step up i'm confident he is developing well and we'll see where he ends up my preference would definitely be to groom him as a defender and ...

To be able to make the short sprints and second efforts in the last quarter of a game, you need the aerobic endurance. Not really conditioning isn't a matter of just running or just weights...specificity is key... weight training provides many vital benefits...by enhancing the performance of type 2...

i would love rok in our team...he would be he ideal replacement for sammy... pick 9 + gop for rok??? i would do it in an instant O'Keefe gets very good delivery at Sydney and they play to his strengths what he does isn't anything super special...the way he is used is very effective with good delive...

we need to hit the ground running and establish ourselves as premiership contenders from the very outset. absolutely right sick of 'pacing' ourselves or trying to get it right at the business end of the year...sick of coasting up until the mid-season break sick of having no runs on the board for wh...

sigh does that mean we will now copy geelong ? this seems to be the trend down our way copy what the last premiers did :roll: not saying to copy geelong i'm saying geelong play basic, efficient footy...it's like seeing somebody with a fundamentally sound house and looking at your pile of rubble and...

There’s nothing funny about footy at all Geelong do all the obvious things: They support their staff They keep out of the media They get fit They execute the fundamentals They stay on the park Have we done this? Supporting staff? We’ve had big turnover of staff, not just footy department and on ...

Well done Geelong Their win yesterday shows one thing: that there's nothing new going on and that footy can be incredibly simple. Numbers: They just always have numbers at the ball and at the opponent. This gives them a greater chance of winning contested balls, of pressuring and of moving the ball ...

the AFLPA MVP is so over rated as an award i actually think the brownlow is arguably a better indicator think about it, the players each give one vote...a holistic approach to the entire season this is silly...how many games do the players watch a year? i know they prepare for each side once or twic...

this has to be a joke i agree with rodgerfox about the creation of footy myths...so, the very guy who hates coming up with/inventing reasons for success is now suggesting that wearing a flanny is going to win you a premiership? seriously, one of the worst ideas i've heard... does it strike nobody as...

i actually question the legitimacy of the proposed trade... pick 2 does not fit, richmond are not giving up pick 2 for anything - not even judd, according to wallace it's not on the sportal website it's not a good deal for us anyway...we're not getting ripped off necessarily, but it sure ain't a win...

Don't want Robbo or Seaby really Seaby better than Brooks i suppose, although i have always been a huge fan of Brooks and rate his potential If the deal for us is LOSE: Brooks, pick 9 GET: Sylvia, Seaby i'm not convinced it's a great deal Sylvia hasn't been anything at all special...pity it isn't na...

i agree that the conspiracy theorists are way off the mark
