    Autopsy The started-before-half-time All Time Insipid #norfball performance v. the team down the highway who shall not be named

    We are trying to play a zone defence aren’t we? That’s why no one had a clear man, or any intent to shut down on an opposition forward. Seeing Corr on his man, and then choose to not go with him, says to me Corr doesn’t think he’s responsible for his man once he leaves corrs vicinity. Same...

    Preview Changes v Geelong, Sun 14 April 1:00pm at VicGovFundedKardinia Park [Zurhaar (calf)/Shiels (GS)/KDaws (ankle)/Stevo OUT; Sellers/Big/Laz/Drury IN]

    Other than combens 8 games last year, it’s been a long time since we had two key forwards capable of taking marks inside 50. CCJ fluked a few. We’ve tried Tom Campbell and goldy and even X. We used Josh ******* walker. Im not saying that sellers is the answer but it’s exciting that we are...

    Rumour Jeremy Finlayson under investigation - 3 game suspension

    I didn’t consider the slur Clarkson used to be homophobic, then it was explained how it is, I was educated and so were the 20 odd people I discussed the matter with. Not one person I spoke to thought it was homophobic. But we learnt. Clarko learnt and all is well. Using the term finlayson used...

    I have my doubts Chom will be anywhere near strong enough to contain him. He will be able to run off him though

    Locking down was never his go He’s an attacking player down back. 25 disposals shows he can get it and he used it well. Maybe rebound/intercepting is his go. Round 1 next year could be Comben - rebound/interceptor K Dawson - lockdown/rebounder W Dawson - lock down/interceptor Logue -...

    Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth? Part 2

    I’m unsure what you’re talking about I was talking about heeney’s age, not how mediocre Luke McDonald is Don’t the swans get father sons? Must be tough relying on your academy

    Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth? Part 2

    Fair call That’s a big bone of contention with us. Most of us knew we went in not structured up well today. We saw it in the noble years where at first noble thought Zuhaar was a second key tall, then he brought in 2 rucks when he realised that didn’t work. So yes, I’d love comben at chf...

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw - two-time RS nominee ('23 &'24) - the Warlord - managed vs Hawthorn

    Week off next week. Get ready for the hawks. Looks a little tired. Simpkin and Zuhaar to pick up the slack assuming WAP isn’t coming in

    How would Ben McKay have helped us today? Daniher kicked 5 on him this time last year

    Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth? Part 2

    Exactly right re crows Said the same thing last year, their senior players are orders of magnitude better than ours

    Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth? Part 2

    Sure, and I get what you’re saying. But in norths case I don’t think Simpkin, ldu, larkey and Zuhaar, are enough to get the youngest team in the comp wins, and overcome the state of our backline. Old teams win Young teams lose It is known.

    Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth? Part 2

    I just don’t get why people talk about wins when looking at youth. Games are won by senior players aged 25-30. The discussion re youth has little to do with who wins.

    Very good last qrt Can’t argue with 25 touches As someone else mentioned, the shame is that he won’t play forward.
