    " The Overview "

    ok, makes a bit more sense, but I think Walsh is still too early to judge, he's almost 2 yrs younger than McGuiness for example, and with the injuries on top of that. Bowden , Bandy and Mcguiness I'm more tempted to agree with. I guess the tricky one is balancing the number of average squad...

    " The Overview "

    So by the age of 20/21 a player should be thrown to the scrap heap....??? While there is the occasional player who bursts onto the seen, a la riewoldt. Others are bound to take longer to develop, and talls will take longer to physically mature / fill out (aong with the skinny midfielders a la...

    Rawlings

    Was pretty poor, but in the first quarter the number of leads he gave when the ball came in on the half volley was incredible. Could have had at least another 3 behinds if the delivery had been better!!!

    Captain Please.....

    Hadn't thought of it like that. It is really a fine balance in the strength and arrogance line. Although comparing to another sport and another country is risky I will....!! For england rugby union - Johnson had it just right, Dallaglio is hopeless. Can't quite decide which Darcy is - but...

    The pull your finger out of your arse club

    From someone with no clue! It all seems a bit odd with KMac. When he was up in Canberra (though he wasn't playing the game) saw him train at Manuka - he looked like he was doing the drills with good purpose. Generally as one of the forward options. At that stage I was hopeful he'd be in...

    The pull your finger out of your arse club

    Still quite new to it, so still prepared to say what I see!!! This was meant in relation to the problem for Eagle .. not as a slagging of our top-line players. He isn't accountable, and doesn't win enough shoot-outs. West - wins so much of the ball that I shouldn't have even mentioned him...

    Captain Please.....

    There's been a few threads about this recently.. I don't like the idea of Darcy - seen him give away too many stupid 50s. Johnno seems to have a heart of red white and blue, but is he a captain type? I think the club made a big mistake this year taking West out of the leadership group. He...

    The pull your finger out of your arse club

    The problem for eagle is the type of game he plays. On the basis that he isn't going to be accountable he has to really hurt the opposition regularly. There have been too many games this year when he's been shut down and not given the side anything. The big question is how do we turn our...

    Harrison v Brown

    Have to agree on this one - morgan is lost in the forward line - doesn't even get the ball to the deck - leppitsch just takes the mark every time.

    Crumbers

    Doesn't just happen in the forward line - but when we kick long out of defence - everyone flies - or stands just off the contest, but no-one is judging where the ball may go. Certainly not being pro-active

    our duds, and prime example!

    Didn't see the game, but noticed on the stats that neither Smith nor Murph had a single tackle. Where were they playing - is this acceptable for HBF (if that's where they were) or really for any player who is likely to have been on the ground most of the time? I'm sure there are others who...

    How we can go from last week re Saints to this effort?

    hk bulldog, maybe you are ranting a little out of line, but... You are right in that Johnson and Smith are two of the best exponents of the short chip game. Obviously honed for years under Wallace. However they are two of the players who also win us games, and have great passion. I think...

    Footscray V Adelaide

    Street was woeful in the first quarter - and it was very costly, however i thought he was better in the second when he came on and started well at t he beginning of the 3rd - when we went ahead. he's slowly getting better round the ground, but still not in tune all the time - eg when he went...

    Street?

    What it shows is how important it is that we develop both Street and Minson. Their different styles will be useful down the track, and make our ruck stocks look quite positive for the future.

    What about the Geelong game?

    But if we're ever going to see Street fire up surely it's against the team that got rid of him.....
