    Oh I think Lethal is almost senile sometimes. Constantly repeats himself which is extremely annoying...

    Preview R2: Changes v GWS: Dawes, Vince in for Toumpas, JKH

    Frost is a very poor shot for goal particularly on the run. Missed two sitters in the first and third quarters. Dawes is much more of a goal scorer - that is what we need.

    List Mgmt. 2013 LIST MANAGEMENT thread - Finalised

    I think Roos will wait before he either trades or sacks anymore first round draft picks. By definition (considering the extensive testing they go through in pre draft camps) all first round draft picks are elite athletes, that is why all Olympic sports are given access to the results of the...

    Mega Thread 2013 TRADE PERIOD discussion thread - Aidan Riley (Crows) added as a DFA

    I would define everyone on our senior list (as opposed to Rookies) as senior players. Oh yes, I am definitely not calling for anyone to be terminated, it is far too early in the season for that. All I am saying is, at the moment, they are not up to AFL standard in their fitness, and if this...

    From what I have seen at training, and he has been in the rehab group so it is difficult to assess, but Michie impresses me as a hard nut. Built a bit like Maloney, about the same size, but seems to be a hard trainer both from a stamina perspective and working on his skills. I see Dom Tyson in...

    Oh it's far too early for panic stations. I'm sure both players are well aware of their position. It is obviously up to them and the club as to how it is dealt with, if indeed it needs to be.

    Mega Thread 2013 TRADE PERIOD discussion thread - Aidan Riley (Crows) added as a DFA

    I am not at all implying that complacent standards are being tolerated by the club. If you know anything about Roos record, one thing he does insist on is elite performance. All I am doing is feeding back to other posters my observations of how players are going so far in training (as a number...

    Not sure I agree. If they were only slightly behind then it would be ok. But they were consistently not even competitive. These guys were both in the system all last season - they know what to expect, and they know ( or should know) what is required to get up to standard. They are simply no...

    If they were told to "ease themselves in" then I think that would apply to everyone. My point was, they are miles behind their peers, which is not a good look, particularly in front of a new, highly demanding coach.

    2013 DRAFT discussion thread: Rookie Draft complete

    Intend to agree Demon16 (sorry I think I called you Demon14 in a previous post). I had been favouring Lennon for pick 9, but I have been convinced by looking at the available videos and reading opinion of people who should know, that Freeman would be perfect for us. Sort of a cross between (from...

    Well in the "endurance" running ie anything over about 200m they were beaten by everyone except the ruckman Spencer, Gawn and Fitzy, and quite often by Spencer as well, who by the way seems to have returned from the break in tip top condition. Matt Jones in particular is struggling, and his only...

    Thanks Demon 14. I look forward to some constructive comment and debate on here as we show continuous improvement over the year. I think we have started really well, and am very optimistic about what we might achieve this year. Hope you are too.

    Mega Thread 2013 TRADE PERIOD discussion thread - Aidan Riley (Crows) added as a DFA

    I'm not making an assessment - it requires far more knowledge than I have available to me, just like you. I am making an observation based on watching them closely at training over three sessions. Obviously I was making that observation on those on the park for those training sessions so far...

    Mega Thread 2013 TRADE PERIOD discussion thread - Aidan Riley (Crows) added as a DFA

    I very much hope not. From what i have seen of training so far this year (admittedly early days), Matt Jones and Clisby are miles behind the rest. I wouldn't upgrade Clisby in a fit. I think our recruiters agree with me too. I think we will draft from pick 57 AND the PSD. They will make room...
