Lol at the St Flogs, Clint Jones is now there most proficient midfielder, I hope their floggy fans now realise just how far they are going to fall over coming years

Some St. Kilda fan had the nerve, a while back, to tell me on the main board that we'd take to 2017-18 to challenge for finals (not the flag, not top 4, the finals) while they'll bottom out next year finishing 14th before challenging for finals again in 2015. Doesn't make sense.

Let them suffer, I don't think anyone likes them.

To be fair, a lot of our supporters were (and still are) saying we'd climb straight back up the ladder if we had a better coach.

I hated St. Kilda even before the 09 prelim. Hipster.

Gold Coast have absolutely no forward structure. Even worse than ours.

We're a chance for a free Mars bar!

Wouldn't mind Steven May

Stringer Jones Hrovat
Dahlhaus May Dickson

Cordy (Rotating Ruck and Forward)

A man can dream cant he

Huge call.

It's awful. Really awful. They had to throw Rory Thompson down there to actually get his hands on it. Flanks and pockets running around like headless chooks. Very disorganised.

Ours at least sort of go in running patterns you can recognise. GC were just running around

 

[Some Idiot]

who woulda thought that dopey looking skinny kid named westhoff would become a player, in seriously good form right now.

Haha at least our forward pockets aren't headless chooks then!
Some major questions need to be asked about our forward line. Looking forward to see how it operates this weekend though!

 

[Igloo]

Just moving this here, Fossie

Same with Carlton's gear tonight

I didn't watch that one, I watched Port vs GC instead. But I can see how that would be annoying.

What is it with this board, that if we talk about recruiting a player, we have to put them in a hypothetical forward line? I've seen it done with now May, Watts, Gumby, Boyd from the draft, etc, etc. Stop! It's annoying!

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

Interesting to see how well Gumby went last night, injury free he is a gun, Macca was right to chase him.

So when we play Hawthorn do you think Lake is going to tear up after the game

Don't really see why you have an issue with it. If we recruit a player they need to be able to fit into our structure. It displays why we should/shouldn't target players.

It's not anybody else's problems, it's me being picky, but naming players who have never played a game of AFL, 10 months out from the hypothetical team lineup is just a bit silly - anything can happen between now and then.

Of course, but that's not what I do it for. I'm not saying they'll jump straight into the side, just that those are the structures that would form should we get them and they perform well.

I'm more talking about the general trend of it rather than the accurateness of the ones given. I suppose we both have a point.

Sam Reid playing for gws today, would like to see him end up making it without any more injuries

Yep, not only does he have those dodgy shoulders, he has diabetes doesn't he? I remember one game against Hawthorn where he came back from a shoulder injury, did well in the 1st quarter and had to come off dislocating his other shoulder. Hopefully he can make it to AFL level.

 

[Some Idiot]

10 disposals, 9 contested possessions, pretty solid half in defence for Reid, only needs to learn to get some cheap uncontested possies and he could be a player.

 

[Igloo]

I'm really nervous for Melbourne. I tipped GWS, and I think they'll win, and I hate Melbourne as a club, but I can't help but feel nervous. Really feel for their fans.
