Sorry to intrude lads. But I have some info you may find interesting. I know a bloke who used to work at an AFL club and was some what of a guru in fixing injured guys often who had underlying problems as to why they got injured. He helped many multiple premiership players who I know for fact...
Can I just throw up an idea. I saw something on Friday night that I liked, think we don't have and could be gettable.
His name Travis Colyer.
I have always liked him but he's only played 3 games this year and always seems to be on the periphery. What I really like is that he has breakaway...
Can I suggest a radical trade. It will probably never happen but hey lets speculate.
Step 1 - We get Frawley as a free agent so he costs nothing.
Step 2 - We trade Harry Taylor and our first pick to Adelaide for Patrick Dangerfield.
So effectively Frawley replaces Taylor and we get...
The stats on this weeks game are damming.
Hits outs we won 42-29
Yet we lose the clearances 41-29 including losing them 27-15 at stoppages around the ground. For me that is the big one. There must be something wrong when our ruckman can get their hand on the ball so much but the opposition...
If you watch the incident and look closely at O'Meara he knows exactly what he is doing. Absolutely it was deliberate but I very much doubt he will be cited for it.
I reckon its hard to see any indication he is a defender when he hasn't played there. Just give him a go. Give him a job to do. Lonergan has done it. Also Sam Rowe from Carlton has done it. I believe he has all the physical attributes to do it. By giving him a shot at it will discover weather he...
I am not really going to question our players to much as I thought the effort was there. What I am going to question is the coaching. I am reluctant to but I think some questions need answering.
I like nearly everyone watching the game saw Bennell ripping us a new one early on why was not...
Surely your not serious. A rookie will get an opportunity if the are good enough and put in the hard work and play well in the VFL. That does not only happen if we mess up our national draft picks. If a rookie is good enough he will play. And rookies aren't forced to be developed, they develop...
Really?? How do you come up with that. Is there a future 100 game player on our rookie list? I doubt it, apart from Blicavs who technically wasn't a rookie draft selection I don't really see one. Stringer Walker and Sheringham are just bit players who I don't see playing 100 games and Burbury is...
I think our use of the rookie draft needs to be looked at. It hasn't really been the success it should have been with only 3 ex rookies currently on our list. Has it been because we were so strong that rookies rarely got an opportunity so were either cut or left for another club like Mumford and...
I like to compare the Lang v Dunstan argument with the Guthrie v Darling argument I had a few years back with myself. Although different players Darling had a great debut year and we could have had a gun young key forward from the get go. Yet we had Guthrie who has taken his time in developing...
Sorry to intrude lads. But I can confirm that Alistair Clarkson didn't even watch the game today. I saw him down the coast at a country footy match while the Hawks game was on. No dramas with it I reckon he more than deserves a rest.
I think this is where we are at. I think we have a lot of list cloggers at the moment. The bullet needs to be bitten and a clean out is needed. I am talking about the likes of Cowan, Brown, Sheringham, Stringer, Walker, Schroder, McCarthy and even Tatlor Hunt who may have a little currency as...
I want to go but I refuse to attend if I have to pay. I have already paid for it with my membership. Its a joke and I assume on the day they will change it and let members swipe as per usual. I bloody hope so or the club will be hearing about it.
Not sure what all the fuss is about StKilda appointing the first ever female assistant coach.
We were way ahead of our time on that when we had the AFL's first ever female player - Kent Kingsley.
I have been on about this for a while to. I cant see how O'Bree has helped our clearance work. That's what he was bought here for and I see no great improvement. There are 2 blokes who I reckon would be great in a midfield coaching role for us. They are
C. Ling
M. Voss.
Wouldn't mind either...
I think Rohan is an interesting one. Clearly has an upside and I think he could be gettable. Local lad always helps but where does he fit into our team is the important thing. I see him as a forward who creates defensive pressure and can push up the ground and back forward with pace. Could we do...
I'm sort of happy he has written this season off. It gives him another full 6 months to get over it so it will be an 18 month recovery which is ideal. I had a knee reco and could have comeback after 12 months but there were only 5 games of the season left so I missed them and got the extra 6...
Yeah I think he was serviceable. Problem is he will probably be out this week for Johnson. But from what I saw he is good back up. But do we keep him. In reality he is still behind guys who aren't playing like Christensen and Caddy. Then is he a better prospect than Lang and Jansen. When it...
Since Lingy has been a young kid he has barracked for Geelong. Before playing for Geelong he was as a fanatical Cats supporter as anyone on hear. He lived the dream and played in flags and captained the clubs he has loved all his life. He lives in Geelong his business interests are in Geelong...
Really looking forward to seeing Stringer tonight. I assume he will be the sub. I don't really rate him and think he is an average player. But I would love to be proven wrong. I will be watching him closely tonight.
I really hope Sheringham gets a full game tonight. I reckon he goes ok he just...
I am staggered at this request from the footy club. If the cheer squad doing their oi oi oi thing after every goal is not enough for them then they are hard task masters. That's all we need isn't it.
C'mon let me hear it. Hawkins Hawkins Hawkins OI OI OI. That's all we need.
What a chant...
I couldn't agree with Cooky more here. Having only 7 home games is a disgrace and the timing on them is appalling. I took my 5 year old to the G on Sunday for the first time and she loved it and is dead keen to go to more games but a look over our draw and its just not possible. Night games are...
I didn't ask. I'm pretty sure he is sick of that question. I just said good luck with it and hope his comeback goes well.

Had the opportunity to meet dan this morning. What a great bloke taking time out to do stuff in the community. The day he plays senior footy will be a great one. He really deserves it.
