North have tall marking forwards.

Who cares, is anyone seriously happy with Carlisle's performances thus far?
Last week was 100% crap, trailing 5m off opponent every time, way too easy.

Do not trust the recruiters to find any fresh talent.

No, go to the draft.
Not impressed at all with Carlisle, trailing 5m off his opponent every time....

If we don't get Kelly, then go straight to the draft and get to midfielders that can play. I don't think Fyfe will ever become what he once was, and Dusty is not the answer. I have not been impressed with Carlisle performances at all, I mean, trailing 5m off his opponent every f'n time, please, its ...

Putting out poor performances that result in not even being competitive or having some hope of winning the game is terrible for supporters. Who's idea was it to flood in the first quarter? Seriously? It was so reactive that it basically meant we never came to actually win the game. I'd rather at lea...

I'm not happy with Sen in the morning, especially Bartlett. 1. Its clearly evident that both sides were guilty of sledging that went too far, yet its not even acknowledged or mentioned. 2. One team publicly apologized and acknowledged that it went too far, one team did not, yet we haven't done enoug...

Out - Weller, Long
In - Sinclair, Savage

Weller isn't setting the world on fire in my opinion.
Also thinking we should play with 2x rucks, as Bruce can be both forward and ruck, it appears to be affecting him.

FML, having to watch Brown defender all year instead of Dempster :'(

Hopefully Nick will be OK. Still concerned a little, as if you hear a click or pop its generally unmistakable and you'll have the worse pain for 3 to 5 minutes, followed by feeling fine, and later swelling. I hope the scans are correct, as my brother actually had two scans done over different years,...

Out - Midfield That's where the game was lost, as per usual. Ross terrible, did nothing and ran out of steam Armatige terrible, did nothing and seems slow Hickey terrible, but playing against the best ruckman in the league Weller - terrible, needs to practice kicking straight Would also be nice if t...

1. Delivery into forward line was poor.
2. Carlisle needs to actually hold tackles and marks (but okfor first game back) .
3. Lonie will be fine, you're expecting way to much.
4. Ryders beard is 100 times worse than Westoff.
5. Rapid movement / game in the first half.

I'm still upset we de-listed Eli.... doesn't make sense at all, sigh.

What about some of the rookies etc? Are we likely to see 18 year olds or rookies play this year? :/

Pretty sure a helmet that only uses padding (I'm not talking 1980's stack hat) will definitely slow down the acceleration / impact. The concept is no not different to an air-bag slowing down your head from hitting the steering wheel. Yes, it won't eliminate concussion / having a sore head, but I am ...

Nothing was wrong with the previous supplier, nfi the fascination with BLK

Who knows. Who knows why Freeman only now has gone overseas and not months before?

How can 1 persons view hold up an entire build.... over an entire club / members / other community views... ridiculous. These type of people are the ones that whinge and complain all the time that no one every gets along with, let's face it, she doesn't want the club there. She can talk about her na...

The same Brown that later on said thank god he didn't go to the Saints?

Pretty sure that was the quote from an article a year or two back!

Good trading by North there

Pointless, 100% stop gap measure

Why do we even bother... honestly.

Why do we keep trading future round picks.
I find it frustrating, rather be in the plus, rather than the minus.

Do not rate him nor his brother at all.... elastoplast brothers, sorry but pass, rather go to the draft.

To get that second round pick it would be great if GWS did... Our pick 10 and 47 for GWS Jack Steele, pick 15 and 33 then longer and pick 33 to the gold coast for their picks 25 and 29. this would give us a first round and two second round picks.....we would get steele and lose longer. Sounds very ...

Yep, black on the outsides looks a shitload better than white
