    AFL Player 26: Archer May - Off to hospital after kicking 3 in Dreamtime, rib injury - 22/5

    Like him. Has ability but best part is he’s a big strong competitor and he plays with passion. Part of our future for mine.

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott, Part 2

    Have often pondered this. Have no data but suspect we lose more games to injuries than other sports. Have you seen any reporting on this? It’s a unique game - explosive running, endurance running, jumping, kicking and constant/significant contact - no other sport makes the same demands on the...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott, Part 2

    All good, didn’t take it as criticism.

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott, Part 2

    I didn't mention it in the context of Scott's week to week performance.....this thread just seemed as appropriate as anywhere else to post it which probably gave the impression that I was. The point is one I have made before.....for years now it has felt like someone wrote a memo on how to play...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    Feel like this has been an issue for years and years now. No defensive structures.

    AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas - dropped 😱

    I’d drop Parish in a heartbeat. He’s really the only member of the team who rivals Tsatas for lack of transition running.

    AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas - dropped 😱

    My recollection is that Scott linked Tsatas’ dropping to issues with defensive transition.

    AFL Player 15: Dyson Sharp - Club Confirmed Shoulder Dislocation - 10/05

    Yep 4-6 for Sharp injury to heal aligns nicely to probability of Setters getting injured in same time frame :)

    AFL Player 39: Cillian Bourke - VFL debut!

    Only seen pics but he looks an absoloute specimen. If he can kick as well, that’s half the battle won!

    AFL Player 13: Nik Cox - Returns to AFL level after 630 days out due to concussion

    Thought he was ok. Seems more accepting of contact and contested footy than pre-injury. If he’s ticking this box then I can never get past the idea that a 200cm guy who can run and kick with both feet has to useful in some role or another!

    AFL Player 32: Ben "Buckets" McKay

    I get some have a laconical style but Ben really did look like he didn’t want to be out there. Forget everything else…..does he want to play AFL footy? If not, we shouldn’t coerce him to do so. Not good for him and not good for team.

    AFL Player 9: Sullivan Robey - Round 9 Rising Star! - 11/05

    Physical specimen. Grown men bouncing off him already plus has some speed and moves with balance and power. Can really kick to top it off. Ceiling is very high, comes down to intangibles. Seems a committed competitor - exciting.

    AFL Player 15: Dyson Sharp - Club Confirmed Shoulder Dislocation - 10/05

    Don’t think it looked too bad. Nothing was visibly “out” to my eye. 4-6 seems possible. So encouraging yesterday. Had started to worry a little about his pace but we saw exactly what he is yesterday. He’s an inside warrior who wins genuine hard ball and stands and distributes through...

    AFL Player 45: Tom Edwards

    Let’s see. I’m just not sure he’s hardwired with the competitive instinct you need for AFL. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

    AFL Player 45: Tom Edwards

    TBH….i don’t really care about structures. Find me 23 blokes who’ll put their head over the footy and run themselves ragged every week….then I’ll worry about structures. Edwards plays like he cares, Perkins does not.
