Watch the replay of tonight's game, then discuss. Fair dinkum. I hope we've got some cash in the bank, cause it's gonna get pretty dark over the next 10 years. Do you actually ever go to games? Earlier today we had a great list, now its going to get pretty dark over the next 10 yrs. You change your...

plays kids - I think hes on track to play more kids than we have over the last 5 yrs....AND STILL He's slagged off umercifully by many clowns in this place :shock: I think he may cop heat because we find ourselves with one of the best core lists in the league , yet are now having to play kids as fo...

Seriously.... However, I think the idea of dropping Dal is totally insane. Some posters are talking as if this was a normal approach taken towards star players who are a bit out of form. Bulldust!! Players of NDS's class get dropped about as frequently as I get to participate in threesomes with sup...

Dal can be rested HF or HB..but must still take his turn in the midfield as part of the rotations. why must he? so he can cop the hardest tag every week thus reducing a potential match-winner to a better-than-average performer? i'd plonk him at half forward alongside roo. then the opposition would ...

Was at the G and got really angry today. We really should have won a flag these last few years but haven't. I am now worried Carlton are ahead of us and may pinch our finals spot. I mean bleeding hell how did this happen? They're going to get to premiership 17 before we get to premiership 2 and I a...

Well, I think the lack of replies within this thread clearly signify that this topic has run its race..... Common sense and logic finally prevail!!!!! 8-) Buddy 1.6 (and at least one out on the full) Fev 8.6 (and a number not scoring) :D Riewoldt kicks 1.1 or 1.2 every week with about 6 not making ...

D: 30% Coach Failures & 70% List Deterioration: [/u] The biggest contributing factor is our list, which has deteriorated badly, relative to the competition. The coaching has been ok, but could be better. The playing list definitely has the wrong mix,it needs a big shakeup,maybe the coaching pan...

I would put it at C. Ross Lyon definitely does not deserve any praises since he has taken over, but he came on board an already sinking ship. List management has cost us severely and i expect us to go backwards even further regardless who is coaching us at the moment. We are a middle of the ladder t...

The list is only good when you have a team in the mix of winning a flag

Not only are your football insights bad but your reading skills are terrible.

I'm not saying we have the cattle to win a flag, but I am convinced our midfield could perform better if it was allowed to do so. If, as you say, we dont have the cattle to win the flag, then it just proves how poorly we have been at the draft table since 2003. Actually starting around the severely...

I guess there is no pleasing some people. FFS having such a "Gun" of a game regardless of who we are playing, builds CONFIDENCE... Something that KOSI is lacking but no one talks about. Honestly, some people need to worry about some players that have clearly done nothing all season like K...

NO.....pointing out four straight top 4 finishes in the B&F.......two in prelim finals teams.....a third in the Brownlow.(2005)...last year he was again StK's highest vote getter.....an All Aust.....will support my argument... What this means is, that over a long period of time.....there has be...

Very very selective quoting SR which really desrves a lambasting for it shows your political bias here. For a guy with as many posts as you i'm not really sure if youre a quick learner. Keep up the anti GTdribble mate as we slide further down the ladder. People of your ilk must ultimately confess t...

I thought Dal carried himself well last night in the face of the criticism... IMO he was correct to go for goal... This is a major weakness in our team, yet he gets bagged when he tries to rectify it.. He stuffed it, big deal, the idea was right, exectution was wrong... I hope it doesnt hinder his ...

Last week I said I would drop six.....and copped a hiding.... Least if we lost by 46 with some......different players, I could cop that.....but 46 points with Ross's favs.....really pissed me off....WEAK AS WATER! This week - SEVEN!!!!! Out: Fiora - gave him a last chance, OK, but.....huge failure ...

Teflon. I reckon Ross Lyon is a useless coach. Why do you believe he isn't? Here's my openeing argument: We are below Carlton. Two games away from our home ground. I reckon our list management from 2004 onwards might just be better than theirs. I reckon Ross Lyon is a useless coach. Why do you beli...

The champ just keeps going, but for him to still constantly be our best player it says alot about the rest of our group

We never had such little improvement until Lyon took over. Every year we had a few players emerging from nowhere and a few reasonable players taking the next step and becoming guns. Under Lyon we've just had a couple of kids improve in their second year and two fringe players get more game time. It...

MSG really you can type up all kinds of stuff doesnt make it correct or a true indication of what really has improved since RL came along What is this thread about? Players improving under Lyon. I pointed out that before Lyon was coach, we consistently had young players getting game time and fringe...

Recycled players recruited under Lyon Shane Birss - Solid depth midfielder Michael Gardiner - Was starting to build up some good form before injury. Next few weeks will decide his future Matthew Ferguson - Ordinary flanker who was redrafted for no apparent reason Matthew Clarke - Useless old ruckma...

M Gardiner - can hardly kick the thing. Injuries have taken their toll, he is finished in this game. A massive risk that has failed miserably. C Gardiner - rubbish. Dempster - a nothing player. Steven King - not up for it. He's lost his hunger after last year and is just after one last pay cheque. ...

The title of this thread is ridiculous. To say that people need to give Dal an apology for stating the plain obvious, that he had had a poor start to the season is idiotic. Dal was very good last night but what us as fans want to see is that kind of commitment week in week out. I have no problem if ...

if you cant see that it was a disgusting dog act you obviously have poor vision of what is acceptable. Disgusting dog act, you have to be kidding. ok then, i will have you stand with your back to me and i will run through you at 100mph and see how it effects you. nothing tough about that at all Fee...

i can honestly tell you Im not afraid of physical contact old and broken down as I am and I can see the AFL has been inconsistent in its application of the rules. I agree they are definitely inconsistent, but to say what West did was cowardly then you have to wonder whether some on here have ever p...

perhaps TS 40's skills weren't quite there, but his pace and determination were (I, for one, still miss him quite a lot).

That was one of TS 40's good attributes. He had terrific skills by foot.
