There were some worrying signs. I was at the game and i think its not panic stations yet. funnily enough the reason i feel that is because we were beaten so comprehensively. which sounds silly i know. but there is no point pointing the figure at individulas JUST yet. every contest after quarter time...

raph just worries me still. same for 3 years now. he appears to think he is on the way to his mums houe for dinner the way he strolls around the park. needs the urgency of his brother. get caught all the time and seems to think he has more time than he really has. if we were 3 points up in a grand f...

Aside from his mark, what exactly did he do last week? Sold Robert Harvey into trouble once, and that's about it. Did more than Fiora though. Jones has proven to be a pacey ball carrier similar to his previous namesake, the kid is a class act , I'll grant you he was quiet last game but would be wil...

yeah . i had jesse smith in mky dream team. he was awesome last year. i was really impressed. as good as selwood IMO.
apparently his injury is pretty serious.

Plenty of excellent suggestions here.

More brains here than down at AFL house. Despite Demetrious ego and large $$$ account , his intellect is deplorable.

That's a pathetic way of thinking about it. If we lose, we are crap If we win, we are crap, but not as crap as the opposition. no we are talking in terms of winning a premiership. not just bein an ok team. the fact is to win a premiership you have to beat the good teams and CRSH the crap teams. the...

Im glad we have some sensible consensus on this. So far there has been a witch hunt and people pointing the finger all over the place. People attacking Libba's credibility and so on and so on. This is not about Libba or any individual. The fault lies with the system. But Demetriou (like Howard on ky...

oh lazar was incredible. he was a very scary unit.

The season hasnt even started. As fas as I am concerned John Beveridge should be shot. You guys have short memories.
Im not forgiving him for Fergus Watts, Barry Brooks, Mcqualtar, Fiona and Raph Clarke just yet. All high pics. All duds.

Michael Rix....obvious.....country footballer at best...cost 2 goals so far Aaron Fiora...out and out SKIRT.....so disappointed in the effort so far tonight....couldn't tackle Fat Albert in a phone box...fumbles when the pressure is on....Show Pony....seen enough sorry!! Give me Clint Jones any day...

The AFL is a money hungry piece of worthless shyte ever since dimwit took charge. :lol: :lol: agree. i read in the paper AD has doubled his salary to 1.4 mill a year. and the guy is an idiot. he lets carlton and richmond tank in the H & A for months on end. Then has a go at Roos over some crap ...

If the AFL is at all concerned about tanking, then why wouldn't they consider a draft lottery? . Exactly... tanking only comes into play at present because teams can KNOW if they drop a game or two they can secure the first or second player in the draft.....with such players in most years havinga c...

Im thinking hes a potential FB. We need cover for Max and we dont really have it. His weight is ok because there arent many "gorillas" in the game anymore. Most FF's run around a lot.

how tall is he?

obviously it will never ever happen but the relegation system in the EPL is exciting. given the same 3 teams finish top 3 every year - the only excitment for most people is the desperattion at the bottom of the table.

well he might be a better option than raph in defence.

i dont mind it. gives the top 4 a clear advantage. at least it opens the debate and starts discussion because the current system is truly crap. anyone who doesnt believe in tanking (demetriou) has their head up their ass. final 8 is ok if they reform the draft rules (ballot for instance). the proble...

is this Dempster guy going to get a game?

(spelling fixed)

this is a pretty pointless thread.... why do we care? its him, he is still a gun.. pointless but funny. you are on a footy chat room and you are comparing pointless thread from what? world altering ones? they are all pointless threads. love schneider. change his name from schniderman to boogey-man.

Nup. McQualter doesn't have the assets. No pace, strength, kicking penetration, height or goal kicking ability. same was said about burke... IMO burke would have never made AFL football if he played these days. coaches would not tolerate his disposal despite his endeavour. you need to hit targtes 8...

Just to add to the "debate". Some may recall that last year Lyon referred to the prospect of having 2 6 foot 2 or more running mid-fielders, in R. Clarke and Gilbert. If the coach says that, well why would you disregard him? I have a feeling that Gilbert may be asked to assume full back (...

What would you do IF by mid season it became obvious he was struggling? happily that is a decision that none of us will have to make. hopefully if it is going that way harvs will see the writing on the wall No big deal. great man would hang them up and a rookie comes in. would have no bearing whats...

lets wait untill the real stuff starts before we make any judgements on teams and players. the only thing worth discussing in nab cup time is how rookies look. if ross lyon is anything like his mentor (roosy) the players will be feeling pretty half assed about the nab cup. no point being a star in f...

bizarre top 50. how does judd get in? couzi at 7? great player but not that good.
winmar was awesome.
