this is absolute crap. as far as we know this could've happened ten rounds ago. every other coach who doesn't know when his time is up and is sacked by the board goes through the humiliation. i'd bet most crows supporters doubt very much that williams resigned without having been told he'd be...

not just the young players. could you blame stiffy, thommo or truck wanting to finish their careers elsewhere. even going to gold coast would give them a better chance of acheiving a flag before their careers end.

` i remember julia gillard saying she'd be full forward at the bull-dogs before deposing krudd. there's talking and there's walking jenny. you must be pretty new to this game if you believe everything people say. í'd say most supporters aren't blaming the players on this. they showed of...

the only thing that was remotely racist is the implication that any form of negative comment directed at an aboriginal person is automatically at risk of being racism. eddie is an effwit on this and so are the magpie supporters who refuse to see the big picture. no one is denying eddie's...

Re: St Kilda need to trade Riewoldt he's earned the right to stay a one club player if he chooses. however, if he's happy to go to a club with a chance at a flag then it could be win-win. can't see him leaving the saints though.

yep. when you start getting smashed in that area, you wouldn't possibly consider putting an extra player behind the contested posession position. how many times did we see the ball finally spurt out to a couple of pies players who are clear going forward. this is bad coaching or bad on-ground...

i'm starting to wonder whether when we get 5 goals up craig goes out for a quick bite to eat. just for 20 or so minutes, i mean what could go wrong. as he's walking out through the coaches box door he turns around and says "alright fella's, we're humming here. don't make a change until i get...

Re: I would also trade Kurt Tippett clap, clap, my friend.

normally don't agree with vader. but he is 100% spot on on this one. to sacrifice competetive animals like tippett and smack for a lazy slug like walker would be stupidity at it's highest. walker may end up being a great afl player, but anyone who has bothered to take an interest will...

seriously, i have no idea. have always had doubts about craig's game day skills. but, i have always been along for the ride with the playing group that has been building over the last couple of years. i honestly thought it would be turned around this year. i understand we have had some...

i'd never give up salter for maric and i've barely seen salter play. but if you guys were in the 5th-10th mix, maric would be a handy depth ruckman if he was salary cap cheap enough and selected with a late draft/psd or mature rookie selection. brogan is still much better, but you guys fall...

hopefully history repeating.

i disagree, i don't think we can afford to have a pure tall on the bench. we need 3 rotating runners on the bench or 2 runners and medium tall type who can play a variety of roles. our kpp/ruck tall's need to be able to play a fair bit of game time so that our mid's can rotate heavily. i...

nothing wrong with the balance on the field Vader. problem is that the bench is short of a running rotation. i wasn't at the game, but i doubt there were too many occasions where a couple of mid's ran off to be replaced by a mid and maric.

superfluous is being very kind. his inclusion cost us a rotation until he was subbed out and gave us jack in the ruck. he certainly wasn't superfluous to the power.
