    Changes Round 12 vs Magpies

    Croft was working his butt off yesterday, covering lots of territory, flying for marks (a little too ambitiously at times) and competing physically with bigger bodied opponents, including in the ruck, which can really take it out of you. Did he look tired\exhausted at times? Yep, but that is ok...

    Changes Round 11 vs Demons

    We are talking about selecting a team for tomorrow not three years time. And the jury is seriously out on whether Hynes will be still be here then. He has a contract for next year but needs to lift his game substantially to make sure he gets offered another one.

    Changes Round 11 vs Demons

    I'd be happy to replace him with any of our listed players such has been his recent form. And I'd jump at the chance to replace him with one of Davidson, Baker, Dolan or Smith.

    Changes Round 11 vs Demons

    I’m happy to double down, because what I said is true. AFL careers can be short for players who don’t demonstrate that they are up to the standard relatively quickly. Cooper was a first-round national draft pick, who has been in the system for almost two years now, who has been really...

    Changes Round 11 vs Demons

    That is simply not true. I’m sure that Cooper is trying hard. Although I’m not necessarily convinced that he has been doing everything possible to make the grade, he is at least putting in a substantial amount of effort but just not doing well at AFL level, and that is ok. What isn’t ok, is...

    Changes Round 11 vs Demons

    Cooper has played in 16 games and wouldn't have qualified for a 'good' rating in any of them yet. In fact, being rated as 'bad' in a few games would arguably be a step up for Hynes, as most of the time he could easily be marked off the role as being 'absent', in spite of taking the field with...

    Changes Round 11 vs Demons

    Serious questions need to be asked surrounding the continued selections of Emmett and Hynes this year. We also need to get them both to self-assess how they approach their own personal development because the attitude and effort they have been displaying on the ground is well below par. Their...

    Preview Changes Round 9 vs Zak B

    I’m hoping he isn’t going to turn in yet another missing person style performance where his presence is of negligible value to the team. It really is time for him to stand up, regardless of whether he plays in his preferred position or not. He needs to work much much harder to do so than he...

    Preview Changes Round 9 vs Zak B

    Genuinely disappointed that Hynes has been brought back it in place of Davidson. Hynes has been a regular non-contributor at AFL level. I think he should have been made to build a large body of consistent dominating VFL performances before he earned another recall. Davidson might be a bit out...

    Autopsy Dogs fall short against Freo

    In the continent of leagues with perennial winning clubs, selfish prima-donna players, predictable ladder standings based on finances more than anything. No thanks. The AFL is far from perfect but it is the oldest and still the best professional football league in the world.

    Changes Round 8 vs Freo

    To forum members who watch a lot of VFL, Keen to hear comments about AFL listed players who haven’t debuted yet and who might be ready to step up into the senior side. E.G L. Kennedy, and Charmichael. Are they ready, tracking well or struggling at VFL level?

    Changes Round 8 vs Freo

    The problem isn't simply the youth; it's the attitude that so many of our young\inexperienced players are bringing into games at AFL level. The level of anxiety they are displaying is off the charts. We need to look at how we are preparing them for the step up.

    Changes Round 8 vs Freo

    Emmett simply has to go back to the VFL. He has been so overawed he has lost the ability to kick the ball, on multiple occasions. Playing him again might risk permanent mental scaring. Lewis could be used to play that role to partially justify retaining his spot, otherwise Croft would be a...
