1. Wilkes plays his best game as one of the two key forwards. Coincidence? I think not 2. That was our worst game of the year so far, let's hope it was, period. BJ, Dal and Montagna, 3 of our best users, were nowhere near where they should be 3. Ledger should be gearing up for a massive amount...

Saints say that ray had back issues and couldn't complete a fitness test, which is why he's out

Apparently Aaron hamill said that theres not much structural damage which explains the no strapping

Ledger either doesn't have the fitness or intensity for afl atm, didn't stick with trengove just then and he set up their last goal

I doubt Watters is happy with this, but it's worth noting that this has only started to happen in the last month or so, with Fisher and McEvoy out/coming back in for their first game and in the midst of consecutive 6 day breaks. There is one positive to this, which is that we are able to score...

saying teams are 'within' a certain amount of points when they are actually that exact amount of points behind

Yeah, some people have been over the top (didn't listen to SEN myself, but I didn't think Jones was too bad), but there were some poor efforts from a couple of senior players, namely Gilbert and Gram, and it's not like it was a one off. After a game, people naturally look owards next week and...

Maybe it's just me, but I remember him being a better kick in 2009 than he is now. Then he missed that one after the siren against the dons and it all turned to s**t. If he had kicked all the sitters he's missed this year, he'd be leading the coleman Yeah, I'm not saying that we should go to...

How does everyone think Riewoldt has gone so far in 2012? Stats so far (that apply) Avg Kicks: 10.8 Avg Handballs: 4.5 Avg Disposals: 15.3 Avg Marks: 6.8 Avg Contested Marks: 1.8 Avg Marks Inside 50: 3.2 Kicked 24.19 Had 12 Goal Assists The stats show that he's had a pretty good year so far...

too little too late. for the first few quarters, he didn't look like he was really competing tbh. he'll probably get next week if fisher doesn't come back, and if he does, he'll want to put in the effort he showed in the last quarter or he'll most likely get dropped.

- Gilbert needs to go. It's telling that I would rather have Raph in before him right now - Riewoldt needs to kick straight. I'm prepared to cop a miss here or there, but his set shots are less than 50%. How he can give someone a spray for not kicking it to him when he misses kicks from 30m with...

it happens regularly with the zone/press. if you can manage to get through it from your defensive half, there's usually someone on their own in the 50.

Just watched Scott Watters' video re selection, and he was pretty adamant that it was the '25' Newnes was coming into. The door's still wide open for changes imo

why drop wilkes? not only do hawthorn have an undersized backline, but now we have no stay at home forward, so stanley and kosi are just going to have to switch between resting forward and rucking. better hope at least one of them steps up tonight

you've missed my point. yes, there were skill errors and decision making errors by our players that prevented us fom winning even with the umpiring, but my point is that, as a team, we shouldn't have to play at a level high enough to overcome these bad umpiring decisions. is that unreasonable?

you do know that freo aren't s**t? they're pretty much on par with us, so 'little things' like bad umpiring decisions that go against us have a greater impact on the contest compared to if we're playing GC or WB we've played two bottom four teams and absolutely smashed them, if kosi is that...

bit of a silly question, really, are you asking if one of game's best CHF of the the last ten years is a good investment after he had a shocker of a season last year, and seems to be getting back into form? although seriously, he has had knee issues for the past couple of seasons, and could be...

not necessarily. agree that we shouldn't totally bottom out, but eventually we're going to have to slide. you can't just replace riewoldt, goddard, fisher, NDS, montagna, hayes, etc with younger players and just expect them to perform at that level immediately, you can only educate them by...

yeah, don't get me wrong, i thought he played a reasonable first game, not good, but at the same time, not necessarily bad either. it was the right time to bring him in, though, against an inexperienced team who we were going to comfortably beat, to give him a taste of what it's like playing in...

cripps had a shocker, newnes was only okay (sure it was his first game, but he's probably competing against other players with little/no experience for his spot) and you can't make any real judgements about other players considering we flogged gold coast. the team can be rearranged, and when you...

why do you assume that siposs is only going to be played as a forward? from what i saw in the preseason, it looks like they want him as a midfielder/forward type, especially with his elite kicking. I wasn't there, but was he playing just as a forward yesterday in the vfl, or did he spend some...

Don't know why everyone's complaining about the umpires. Gieschen will come out during the week and tell us all how the umpires did a good job and refer to all the bulls**t obscure rules to illistrate it. It happens all the time, and it's not going to change, unless the afl puts some money into...

that's cause that draft was 3 years ago. people need to get off their back and give them a few more seasons. IIRC Kosi won the rising star and was tearing it up early, and he never took that next step; whereas Abblett didn't do that much early on, and he is now the best player in the league, so...

surely they'll allow extended benches. if only two interchange players are allowed, someone will end up in hospital or something

the games where they work best is in something like zelda where you have to use a specific piece of equipment to defeat them and they have something you need to complete the story (e.g getting medallions in OOT). On the other hand, most FPS games need them only to give the sense you're...

will there be any vision of this game for people to watch afterwards?

yeah, look, i don't think that's going to happen, or even this year, either

Too hard to judge atm, the matches were completely different in both their pace and quality of opposition. Simpkin played better than him down back, but IMO had it a lot easier

choosing raph clarke would have mainly been his choice; dropping max hudghton, his choice; not respecting luke ball, who ended up leaving as a result, and becoming a key in collingwood's premiership the next year, again, was his choice to say that he has no responsibility for st. kilda not...
