This thread is a lot nicer than the one on the main board

You can't even say he 'gets' it, the only time he ever looks like he's gonna take clean possession is when he's marking an opposition kick. Drops passes, fumbles and falls over at ground level. Looks like he's 208cm

Not true, just a coloured memory of the past few years. He was BOG on QB 2010 for one. Has appeared to play without heart the entire year though, and I have always felt him to be subpar when it comes to defensive running and tackling. He prefers to point and yell to his teammates than actually...

Its not an issue of effort at the moment, or hardness, or a willingness to run. Its a lack of awareness and concentration as to what is happening around them and where they need to be moving to. Too often we saw a chain of handballs just draw all of the players in toward each other while...

That HTB against Watts..... He was on his back on the ground when the ball landed on him, and instant stacks-on :( Literally 90% of the overall AFL supporter base hates it, almost everyone in the media hates it, and still the rule is getting more contrived. Surely something's gotta give. I...

I had been adamant that he shouldn't have been in the side yet after his first few games, and that he was a liability down there due to his poor disposal. However, he certainly is improving rapidly, and its great to see a tall bloke down there who is fast and strong and acts like it, and plays...

I thought Shiel looked a lot more impressive than Treloar personally, with pace skill and a decent amount of hardness (especially playing through after an elbow to the head early). Then again, I haven't watched a huge amount of GWS so I guess Sheedy would probably be a better judge. But yeah...

I reckon its his lack of defensive effort killing him defensively. He rarely seems to want to lay a proper tackle even when he is in a prime position to do so, and it is incredibly frustrating. Down on confidence and form too so he needs something to hang his hat on.

Good Once we got our heads into the game we looked dominant as we should have Mitch - terrifying forward target even when they were matching our midfield intensity. If he was there in the third quarter he would have kicked over 10 without a doubt Form into the players that need it (as mentioned...

16* Gold Coast were around for that draft. To the West Coast supporters who believe his head action was a legitimate response to getting hit by his own hand. I thought one of Darling's strengths was his toughness and ferocity at a contest. Surely he has a higher tolerance for pain than...

I should clarify that I've been a big fan of Clint ever since he found his role as a small defender (maybe 2nd half 2009?) That said, I don't think anyone has any allusions to his prowess by foot - his strengths come from his hard body work and ability to keep to a man. He put on an absolute...

The forward line (inside 50) have no trouble leading up, but we seem to have no players playing the half-forward role - i.e. leading up as targets around 80 metres out. This is strange considering we have an abundance of these types of players on paper (Green, Howe, Petterd, Dunn, Bate, Jurrah...

how many turtles do we have in storage down at AAMI park.....

It was Brown, and it was Sylvia's nose hitting Brown's forehead accidentally when they bumped each other. I know what you're thinking - Brown is 10cm taller than Sylvia, how could this have happened? Because Brown's forehead is ENORMOUS!
