    C. Cloke is a dud

    He was ordinary. If he isn't a ruckman, what position is he expected to play, with a body like that? Do you expect him to hold down CHF? Yes, he's young, and big men tend to mature slower, but look at the way Franklin at Hawthorn moves - Cameron just doesnt seem to have the smarts. Despite the...

    OK, I admit it............

    It must be frustrating for Pie fans - the comments above about the game are generally true; Shaw GOT lots of the footy, but it's his disposal that makes everyone cringe. With the ball in his hands it is a COIN TOSS about whether it will be delivered to another Magpie, go up in the air, or go...

    Anthony Rocca

    The vision on the telecast showed extensive bandaging applied around the calf, rather than including the ankle - it supports the possibility of calf tear as opposed to Achilles rupture; slightly better news for Pies fans.

    Swans Game Plan/Style of Play

    I dont want to get stuck in the "ownage" argument, but stop wingeing about flooding. Roos (and Eade) set up a game plan according to the troops at their disposal. Brisbane lost that game after being 32 points in front at 3Q time - that has nothing to do with Roos, or flooding. Being that far in...

    Blues Rebuild Assessment

    We need more time, and I reckon it will still be a few years before we will make finals consistently. The Wizard Cup win was GOOD, because it does give heart to the players and supporters and is a fair signpost of progress - nothing more. We need to continue the list management and obviously...

    Rift b/w Pagan and Fevola?

    I doubt there is any "rift". Pagan has been the only coach at Carlton since Fevola's arrival to actually coax any good form out of him. David Parkin and Wayne Brittain could never find the key to getting the best out of him, and Parkin could barely figure out how to fit him in the side - Fev...

    Will Eddie last? Can he?

    :D :D :D Read carefully - I did say smarter than Milne! Mind you, it would be hard to be dumber.... I still say we need crumbers at the foot of the pack - Eddie could be the go!

    Will Eddie last? Can he?

    He needs a couple of SEASONS, not a couple of games :rolleyes: Crikey! We really need a crumbing forward a la Steve Milne (just a lot smarter ;) ) to sit at the feet of Fev and Lance - I just hope he might be the one. Give him a go!

    Flooding

    Obviously ridiculous - and it is why no game will be won with flooding, only lost. All the hooha will die down soon; in years past it soon became clear that flooding was not the answer, even when trying to preserve a small lead. We should worry more about poor umpiring and lousy rules than...

    Richooooooooooo

    Geez...dont get too excited. :D Richo still spends most of the day getting frustrated watching the midfielders chip-chip-chip-fumble-kick to covered forwards. It happened again yesterday - you'd think they'd realise kicking it long when he's one-out and watching him actually GET it means that...

    Dermott Brereton... is it just me, or does he talk crap..?

    Absolute classic :D He reminds me of Don Scott, who used to go on with the same pseudointellectual "analysis" of the game, making it sound very important. Had to laugh when Scott finally got a coaching gig in SA and put all of those esoteric theories into practice - IIRC, his team lost the...

    doggies = mental rabble

    Rawlings doesn't deserve the bagging everyone gives him - he just doesnt belong in the forward line. Leave him at CHB and let him get some form and confidence - he'll do OK. I think this has to be Chris Grant's last season - a legend, and the footy brain still works, but the engine is gone...

    doggies = mental rabble

    Richmond won because they had the game's one functioning key forward - Matthew Richardson. He has his usual crap kicking boots on (4.4) but he was enough of a target to matter - he certainly ran hard enough, so good on him. The Doggies have a spinal problem, not a mental one - no decent KPP...

    Can we beat the Blues?

    On form, Carlton should win. Our attack is good and a lot will be asked of Clement and Wakelin (and who will take Betts and Deluca?); on the other hand, our defence is our weakest link - not sure who the matchups on Tarrant and Rocca will be. It seems the midfield battle should be Carlton's - I...

    Footy Show and Brisbane obsession

    Good point. In soccer they now give free kicks AGAINST a man if they are considered to have taken a dive - I think we should do the bloody same; I'm sick of seeing players jerk their heads back if they get a light touch on the shoulder, or fall over holding a jaw if the breeze gets too strong...
