LAST Friday against St Kilda, Adelaide had 403 disposals including 225 handballs but only went inside their attacking 50 a paltry 35 times. Competition averages would be around 50.
So much for high-possession, high-handball footy being a sure bet...
With all the retirements and half the squad under 21 and front loaded contacts. Do we do a Carlton and target young promising?
Maybe, just a thought, why not target Morton from the dees? This incoming draft will be weak and giving up a first round pick for Morton would be a bargin.
With the...
seems most people see our depth as major issue making finals. do we recruit someone like tim clarke (27yrs next year) late in the national draft or with our 3rd pre season pick. also, maybe rookie draft (pick 83) a mature ruck from the vfl, sanfl and wafl.

India and china trials
with clayton from the western dogs going to fuiji to look for the next super nat, teams going south africa and ireland to recruitthe next stynes. what about freo going to india or china to look for players?
we can sign up to 4 international players and i am sure that...
simmons, white, and warnock all went home after a few years? also mcphee and sinclair went home as well. maybe, dont trade/delist any talls out of vic metro. the country kids seem to stay like mundy or drum and only brown left but he wanted t stay.
Dockers give up last pick in the national draft for carroll. helps demons with salary cap issues and gives extra cash to match carlton's offer on warnock. dockers then speak to warnock and say that you are going to melbourne either both draft or some else, with the same terms and conditions as...

very interesting to list management. i hate the trades in the past but lets not go the other way of just drafting young kids. alot of clubs will attempt to do what the hawks did and...
Where do see how list heading? We total rebuild and a major clean out or do we just cut 4 or 5 players off the main list or just keep the older guys and just top up with our first 3 picks with some younger talent?
My thinking is that delisting of 7 - 10 players off the main list is counter...
One of biggest bad habit that the dockers seems to been broken. When marking alot of our players would jog back (no vision) and then turn to see whats up the field. Therefore, missing opportunities.
Yesterday, every time our players marked the ball, they turned first and got vision first...
THE AFL has announced that the proposed new Gold Coast team will be given access to 20 Queensland teenagers over the next three years.
League chief executive Andrew Demetriou said on Friday afternoon the decision was approved by the AFL Commission, in what will be the first of a series of draft...
I really hope for Dunn and the club that he will play well this week and keep injury free. The guy hasnt had any luck and will be good if we can find another player with the ability to play AFL.
Stay away from people who think that just walk and coach an AFL team with no experience as an Assistant at AFL level.
Look at Worsfold, he went to Carlton learn under Parkin and Brittain. Voss had only one coach and needs to get another point of view to round his coaching style.
Voss is a...
1.Don't go for untested coaches or recruiting staff.
2.Don't get a team song that people cant easier sing to.
3.Have a simple design for colors no more than 3.
4.Dont trade top 10 draft picks.
5.HAVE PATIENCE AND HAVE NO SHORT MEASURES
6.Recruit as many young Queenslanders as possible.
7.dont...
Any team would struggle is you take out their two top players and get injuries to best 22 players. Judd, Cousins, Embley, Wirrapunda, Le Cras, and Priddis missing for last team that went top 4.
Its not Worsfold game plan or coaching style is the problem its just that he does have the...
The Dockers must win at least 1 of the next 2 weeks or we have no chance of making the top 4. If we are 0 - 4 and 14-15 games gets you into the top 4, then we need to win 14 or 15 games out of 18. Not alot of room for error. Eagles are Subi will be hard and follow up against Melbourne in...
Woodhouse recruiting manager for West Coast was on the Perth radio and said that they most likely take 4 picks in this draft. He commented that this year draft has alot of good talls and that Hansen, Gumbleton, and Leungberger will go in the top 4. I thought only Carlton needed a ruckman and...
