    Kangaroos & Carlton

    I have been sulking the last day and absolutely shattered to lose to the GC. Embarrassed about losing the way we did and furious that it gives all the non tiger supporters such joy to see it happen. The fear that we all held, and im sure the players too, has been realised now. We have thrown our...

    News Foley's Season is Over

    Mods feel free to remove thread if it's been done or inappropriate for here. Does anyone know what is up with Nathan Foley in terms of him staying/leaving the club and his contract situation? I heard rumour that there may be more to his absence from the team than injury. I strongly believe...

    Connors and Martin off field sanctions

    Obvious man. Pretty sure this is assumed.

    Yer agree but still wired Monday night? Surely that cant be the excuse for this.

    Preview Round 15 vs Melbourne

    What's Nathan Jones' story? I missed why he didn't play on the weekend. Here's hoping he misses again because he has been their best player all year along with Mitch Clark. Should win comfortably.

    Should we squeal like the crows did

    Yes, would be nice to give it back to them.

    Preview Can we beat Adelaide?

    Of course he is. Would be a bit dopey to leave ya emergency back in Melbourne when you'r playing in Adelaide. Or you think we are being a bit tricky? Surely they arent going to tell Elton he's not playing game day. He's had an interview and everything!! lol

    Preview Can we beat Adelaide?

    Agree with this! Fuuuuuuuuuuu!! Because it's massive. Top 3 most important players at the club. Makes sure Cotchin doesnt have 3 blokes hanging off him at each stoppage!

    I did the Bailey's ladder predictor

    It's an easy to use tool to get an indication of where teams are "likely" to finish rather than having to straight out guess. It's no more pointless than theorising on how many wins it will take to make the finals, pencilling in matches that are winnable or for that matter discussing if you...

    Preview Can we beat Adelaide?

    If anyone ever in the history of the game became a better disposer of the ball after being dropped id be incredibly surprised. To become a better disposer of the ball you need a) hard work off field b) natural talent and c) the biggest one confidence. Dropping someone would not change any of...

    I did the Bailey's ladder predictor

    Why are you ignoring half the question... This is bizarre. "Why you can't let people discuss hypotheticals without telling them it’s a waste of time every couple of posts" seems a very different question to, "Just trying to work out why you can't let people discuss hypotheticals"...

    coaches corner

    The problem is by kicking "a bomb" the ball is moved on from the contest up field quickly and it is also the fastest way to move the ball inside 50, hopefully before defenders have a chance to get back. To lower the eyes and maybe move the ball around before going inside 50 takes time, which...

    GWS and GC

    Would it not have made more sense for the new clubs to only play 16 games in their first 2 years in the competition? Play each team once and play in the local comp for the other weeks. It would have made the draw a lot more fair IMO. In a season where the difference between 7th and 12th is only...

    I got rid of the teams we both play to make it an easier comparison for your first part For your second; We did not play West Coast at home We played Collingwood at a neutral venue St Kilda we played away

    Rain rain rain rain....we've at least had some practice now. Maybe it could help us... We are the most experienced wet weather team of 2012!

    Preview Can we beat Adelaide?

    Get stuffed Norf. Hoping Adelaide come out and go bang in the second half or i'm afraid we will have a fired up home side desperate at the footy after an embarrassing loss! Second time those w***ers have stitched us up this year.

    Wins v top 8 teams...

    Adelaide will remain on 3, wont they? This is quite interesting. Somebody should do one where they give a team +1 for a win against a top 9 side and -1 for a loss against a top 9 side. See how it fairs. I dont have the energy for it. haha Lets play them in the wet again and we will win by 70...

    Of course we can....but we wont. Lets hope that the Kangas dont give them a shock this week by beating them. They've already done that to us once this year with the cats.

    How good is Dan Connors going when they pick Brett O ahead of him!

    First game back, up in Sydney....awkward! Should we fly Benny Cuz over to knock him out if he gets out of hand again? Haha nah jokes aside, good luck Dan. Hope he plays a ripper and stays in the team for the rest of the year.

    Non-reactionary 'drop Martin' thread.

    Very true. But as far as Dimma is concerned he is actually working quite hard and getting to the right spots. He like most big guys need time to learn their craft. Having said that, I have been to few games this year unfortunately due toooo many bloody Saturday games so that is lost to me via...

    Non-reactionary 'drop Martin' thread.

    Nah sorry I didnt express myself that well there. I said earlier in this thread that I dont know about dropping him, probably not. I dont think he has been anywhere near our bottom few players so therefore not droppable in preference to other players getting games, but as you ask, "is it just...

    Non-reactionary 'drop Martin' thread.

    Seems like most are pretty against dropping Martin. And that's fair enough but it would be great to drop him IF he was going to turn around his form and become a genuine threat to the opposition instead of an average contributor. Maybe it's an attitude thing, maybe not.. but if dropping Steve...

    News Its an Ugly Arm Wrestle and its called Modern Football....

    I watched both games. I believe it has more to do with the ground and conditions played in. It's now winter and it's actually raining for once...so the game isnt going to have as much uncontested ball. Big deal, Roos threatened to destroy the game 8 years ago now and nothing has changed...

    News Its an Ugly Arm Wrestle and its called Modern Football....

    The new flavour of the month. Wasnt everyone going on at the start of the year that the game was too fast with so much uncontested footy and teams like Carlton and Essendon, who had spent a whole pre-season gut running were potentially going to endanger their players, and oh my god all the...
