Been a Khamis fan on here for years, should have played HBF last season. Anyone could see Khamis had ability.

Well the coaches played him there for a reason and have planned that all preseason (so maybe they see the things that I see in him, bigger body, stays on his feet and and stronger willingness to be defensive in the middle). Is he there yet, of course not yet does he have the attributes, I...

A few us in the know, knew Richards was next cab off the rank to go in the middle when Libba wasn't playing. He knew that all preseason. I thought he was fantastic and I'll tell you why: A defensive first minded onballer A bigger body to get around, break away from. A guy who stays on his...

Some of what Bevo is trying to do is definitely in the right direction and its the way the game is moving. I'm not crying over Daniel or Macrae or Dale. All 3 dropped off last year and should be fighting for spots. If we can't cover them, we have no depth and its just excuses. I would play...

Macrae is just about finished, he is not the difference between us winning and losing. Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Naughton is a great mark, he gives his all, fights out all contests, beautiful to watch flying through the air, fearless. Yet...for all his good work, he lacks something as a forward. I think the word is forward nous, players like Hawkins has it in spades. When was the last time he took a...

Some good points, agreed with forward half turnovers. We are currently playing 1 tall too many up forward. I'm a Naughton back man, or at least it needs to be tried with JUH, Dacry and Weightman playing lead up forwards. You only need two key forwards or once the turnover happens its goal...

To a lot of posters on here, this rejuvenation of the playing list, game plan is long overdue. Richmond took our manic pressure of 2016, added flooding back into defense and turnover, hard running forwards. The best coaches since have copied that, Macrae and Kingsley (ex Richmond). Yet, we...

Out: Macrae, Daniel and Dale In: Bendendo, Garcia and O'Donnell Keep the transition going Bevo... Freijah next in line too, going to be a ripper. Forget Harmes he is backup or if Bevo wants a tagger, that's it. We need to keep moving to the next crop of players.

Hi Prince, that's a good comparison with St. Kilda. I'm going to pay for our seats each year no matter what, so they have got me. I may have missed the email from the club, sometimes goes to junk folder. I called the club when we lost the "two away" games as I think it was a mistake for a few...

Your really missing the point here. Pre-covid we got two replacements games, essentially an 11 game melbourne membership. I am ground level reserve seat. After covid my 9 game membership stayed the same price (actually small increase) yet I lost 2 away games. It was poor management by the...

I've been one of the most vocal supporters of Khamis on this site for years. Should have played in defence last year. Keep building the fitness and offensive side of being a defender and he will really come on. Always knew is intercepting and effort to make or cause a contest was there.

Firstly, to Dogwatch, the club should never be asking where a player wants to play. He should play wherever the coaches fill fit, it's a team game and unless all have the mentality you will never be totally successful. Doggies ftw, you don't know unless you try. I think Jamarra would improve...

Reality is, big forwards are not the be all and end all of winning Grand finals anymore. Two competent workhorse who make the most of there opportunities like a Miocheck are good enough. Its a running game and essentially you need 20 athletes running around. If they don't want to move him...

I'm not sure where Naughton best position is. What I do know is the its incompetence if they don't at least trial Naughts down back for a portion. Its not like we have been great since 2021. The defence is terrible, 3rd least intercepts for the last 3 years. All the stats show we need an...

If I was the coaching panel I would be showing them every half arsed effort and highlight it for all to see. Any chance of a smoother, a hard run down tackle. The lack of desperation was telling, especially the last quarter.

Just trawled through 17 pages of review. Can we stop with the we lost because Bevo loves his b grade, lost at selection, this player should never play again blah blah blah. How about that fact that most of our best players did not show up at all. Forget the lesser likes, each team has players...

Let me counter why the best coaches in the game at the moment are not playing CD as a half forward. The ball hits the deck, gets knocked into space, the running defenders are off, the chain of handballs are off, with each 5 metres, CD drops back a metre, now our defenders are 5 vs 6, easy over...

Great point Optimistic Dog. The Collingwood Premiership side says they don't even have to be star forwards, just a couple of workhorses. I actually think you only need two forwards, yet considering our depth in this area, I understand why they are going with 3. As long as we don't full into...

Against Melbourne you generally get ground level at the Ponsford end or a few bays in the Olympic stand on the ground level as well.

He’s an AA defender and finished 4th in our BnF as a midfielder last year. He’s obviously got limitations but I don’t think blanket statements like he’s too small to play x position are fair when he’s literally played those positions successfully. His days of AA defender are long gone, the...

Stats can only tell so much, the rest becomes assumptions based on stats. One would argue that if you turn a clearance into a scoring opportunity at a set % then that the quality of the clearance would be higher than those below that %. Yet the main premise of the article is that you can still...

Time waits for no one as Wally found out. At least he stretched another year out as a forward. Not sure Macrae or Daniel can do that.

Most of us have only seen him twice. Maybe not quick enough for the small zippy players yet the extra heights helps in the 1 on 1. Very hard to tell, will know more as the season progresses, yet both him and Khamis have fitted in nicely.

How about Sicily had little to no impact because it was a practice match and he totally switched off. yet I do agree, 3 is perfect, even two is enough these days.

I'm all in for a backline with Coffield and Khamis to back up Jones and O'Donnell (with rotations through the bench). Khamis reading of the ball flight, reaction speed and intercepting was something we have been crying out for, stopping plays at CHB instead of easy goals. I though he was great...

Not at all, always excited at the start of the season. I think we have the potential for a good year. What I don't want to see is the same old same old as we will not progress. The onballers especially need a mix up and its looking like we will get our wish. Same for the defence it can be...

Mid sized defender with athletic ability is what we need. Khamis and coffield delivered today and if they can play to that ability it can transform our defence. Both should play round 1. Our 1 on 1 defending has been atrocious for 2 years, apart from Jones and Ed. Clark and McNeil exactly what...

I play golf with Gallagher's uncle, he is primed this year, one of the strongest at the club for his height. I think he may play round 1, pending the practise match vs Hawthorn.

Apart from the Bont our midfield is middle rate at best. We bring and extra to the stoppage (which papers the cracks) and it whilst this looks good in theory, it puts a lot of pressure on the forward line who are outnumbered, and then the backline on the overlap as the onballers don't work back...
