Would much rather Gunners than Serong out of the team TBF. They have 3 big forwards and we looked better balanced last week with the extra tall back there. Lewis and Chol is what we should be going with. Blakey doesn't play like a tall he would run off Gunners at will. Need to match their run...

Situation is the same as Sam Walsh. He hasn't missed a beat since coming back. Day is in the same boat I rekon.

Disagree. It's when the focus to more defense orientated styles started to kick in IMO. They were much better games of footy to watch. Wasn't just all out attack more a balance between the two. Bombers of 2000 blew teams away all year because they were brutal offensively AND defensively. Umps...

Not Heeney I would be sending him to Gulden. He will destroy us if we allow him to freewheel all day. If we're any chance he must be clamped. Scrimmers to take Heeney when he drifts forward.

He gave the impression they were lucky to lose by 40 odd points. Not a whole lot to be positive about except for Curtis and Combden. Praised the way we played which was good to hear as alot of coaches make excuses for why they lost which Clarko didn't. Knows there's alot of work to do and it...

He's not a ruckman's a-hole. As I said in an earlier post doesn't position himself where he should around the ground anywhere near what he should be. Obsessed with winning his own ball to the detriment of his fellow midfielders. His stats do not tell the true story at all. A whole lot of...

Larkey kicked 3 but 2 were from turnovers that weren't Frosts fault. That dropped mark was just unlucky as he created a great contest and that ball could have spilled anywhere. Barely lost an actual 1 on 1 against him all game and chopped off heaps of entries by killing heaps of contests. Bloke...

Absolutely spot on. Bloke doesn't venture far past the middle of the ground either. Instead of being down the line for the bailout kicks he wants to ruck every minute of the game. Sure he won the hitouts but Meek had much more influence around the ground because he played like an actual ruckman...

Looks like Sam was right too. Any amount of physical pressure on this mob would have seen us competitive at the very least. There the definition of Jekyll and Hyde ATM.

It's the role players I'm referring to not the stars. They are better than most role players at other clubs and can have significant impact on a weekly basis. Miers, Close, Blicavs, Zac Guthrie etc. There's no way in the world these players develop the same way anywhere else. These are the guys...

They have the best coach in the business and has been near the top for a decade. Whilst he has still got his sharp mind for the game there not going to bottom out at all even with a few retirees. That's not being a smart Alex as a Hawks fan it's begrudging respect. What he is doing with a decent...

All ground pressure and absolutely clinical with how they score is how there winning ATM. There not dominating games like 2022. The stats last night strongly suggest this. Far more efficient with ball use and decision making.and what I also noticed is they cheat a bit out the back especially...

Hold your horses. Good win tonight but the Lions are not a premiership threat based on what I've seen this year. First real test will be next week. Blues really should be 6-0 as well choked away the win last week. Their midfield will cause problems that they haven't had to really deal with this...

The Cats will win every game in wet weather. Their physicality and big bodies will see to that. That alone made them favourites for this game IMO. Lions want to play a dry weather game and are not used to playing in those conditions. Not sure how there doing it considering all there stars merely...

It's a red herring. It's us or Geelong. Pies won't have a sustained run at the top. They have 1 maybe 2 years at most to stay up near the top. They need key forwards and key backs not another midfielder. Murphy now retired has left an important piece of their backline they need replacing. Howe...
