https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/bevo-out.1244881/ Yeah it was unpopular… yeah it got shut down - cheers Mutt … But Bevo needs to go. Best list in the league, but play like a bunch of losers. BEaston Charlie Bucket - perhaps you geniuses can offer your thoughts too.

These days i only watch the kayo mini an hour after the game. Have my meme I’m so much happier. I actually hate footy, but am addicted to and love the Dogs. This way i scratch my itch, yet don’t ruin my weekend! Now it’s back to the cricket. Cheers 🍺

Saw a really interesting piece about the rise and fall of the Wallabies… and why. URL= I think we all broadly understand a concept of team cohesion, but perhaps not quite with the precision that is in the video. Whilst it’s a bit different to assess for an AFL team vs Wallabies - consider...

This question was posted by a Port fan after round 23. Hmmm - I guess our place is in the Grand Final. 😂

The biggest thing to take from last night’s lass to the Tiges was our structure. For 6 weeks, we’ve had: - 3 tall forwards who attack the ball in the air (Naughton, Bruce, English) - 2 rucks (Martin, English) Having Tim English obviously helps a bit with bench space/run - but i think the...

- I thought you were no better than a local footy talent. - I thought Bevo was wrong to keep giving you games (it gave me the utter shits last year) - I thought your disposal was shite - I thought your rate of improvement was cos from crap to average isn’t moving the needle that much But...

That’s what i want. Firstly, gameplan. We have an incredible list of talent (which is primarily thanks to Dalrymple, not Bevo), which is being squandered by a coach who has been unable to evolve our game plan or style since everyone broke us down post-2016. As we’re seeing this year, not only...

At 3-3, it feels like we’ve under performed this year. Deeper analysis required. All subjective, but scoring our fixtures in terms of likeliness to win out of 10, is a way I gut-feel where we should be at this point, considering the opponent we’ve played: Rd 1 - Collingwood, 4. I would have...

Been thinking a bit about why our performances are so up and down... and why we have such a young list (albeit this is slowly changing). One absolute key to any team’s list i feel, is the ability to absolutely nail your first draft selection each year. You only get 1 of these each year...

Our progression is uncannily aligned to how the Hawks progressed. In 2010 they finished in 5-8, out in first week..... after starting the season at 1 win 6 losses after 7 games. Perhaps all is not lost!

I was pissed off on Saturday night. Not because JJ did his hammy (it was unavoidable), but for 2 other reasons... - Tom Boyd playing >30% of the game in the ruck... And getting injured because of it; and - Jake Stringer again getting a less than ideal match-up. Let's face it, out best ruck...

He is the first coach to take the stick to the senior players and look at them crumble. Any wonder we couldn't win the flag in 2009 when we had the best squad on paper in the league. Disgusted by the rumours and by the club if they accept his resignation. Soft utensil senior players shouldn't be...

I noticed a huge flash of yellow every time Pendles was near the ball on Sunday night - what is the go with his socks??? Or are they just part of his boots? Has the AFL changed the rules on altering uniforms? I remember Scott West getting hauled over the coals a few years ago for amending...

This is a lengthy post, so totally understand if nobody wants to read it! 1. J Grant - He is missed when not in the team. Offers super intelligent play, and was a real enigma for us late last year. Hopefully he's back in the team soon. 2. R Murphy - I don't think we will miss him as much as I...

Our 2012 membership video talked about something changing in the West. I can remember thinking 'what a load of crap', in my view at the time we had just had a decent crack, were now seriously on the slide, and that we had no serious aspirations to turn the team around for a very long time. 2...

This thread is about the ridiculous handling of new teams by the AFL. Both the Gold Coast and GWS delivered uncompetitive performances in almost all of their first seasons, and for large parts in their second seasons. This is wholly attributable to how the AFL went about bringing them into...

Long time reader of the Phantom Drafts section, but first time phantom draft poster. I don’t profess to have a huge knowledge of each player, my player knowledge is purely derived from my readings of the various respected phantom draft experts (messrs Knightmare, Chris25, Snoop Dog, Rahul, and...

At the announcement of the AA team half-forward line, Mark Robinson queried the panel of selectors. He didn't really understand why Kieran Jack was selected as a half-forward flank, and posed the question to the panel. With an irritated look besmirching his face, Danny Frawley responded with...

How does this program work? Do we not have the funds to do it? I really can't imagine having that program would cost the club that much, and it seems to provide players with some regularity to other teams lists... one example (I think anyway) is Jarrad Witts to Collingwood's list. The guy...

With our strong form over the last few weeks, I had been wondering where we'll finish on the ladder (and which corresponding draft pick we will get). Well with 2 weeks left, our final ladder position is locked into a range of 12th and 15th. The teams we are vying against include Adelaide...

So this fella I work beside was telling me of an event he witnessed at the MCG a number of years ago. He was watching a Reserves 'curtain raiser' game between Collingwood and someone(?) and Dermott Brereton took a mark/got a free kick (couldn't remember) within kicking distance of goal...

So... There is an article on the Herald Sun/news.com website about KB defending his decision to not give Griffen any votes in the RS in 2005. Whilst I think Deledio was a worthy winner (and Griffen a worthy second-place getter), the fact that this snivelling tossbag still defends his...

Whilst I applaud Ayce Cordy's efforts during games, he seems to be held back from becoming a good forward because he just drops too many marks. Makes me think - wouldn't gloves be worth a try Ayce?! I don't think they make a huge difference, but they seem to work for Travis Cloke, Quinten...

Obviously... we desperately lack a second KPF to compliment Liam Jones. Whilst some view Tom Boyd as our beacon of hope via the draft at year's end, there is no guarantee that he will be available at our pick (can't see anyone finishing below GWS, and they could take him with pick 1)...

Someone mentioned a GWS/WB dust-up on our WB forum - was the first I'd heard of it, and a quick google search brought-up: http://ynotmedia.wordpress.com/ Lol, looks like Greene won't be pursued by my team anytime soon :cool: Anyone know if this is true??

Does anyone have any news they can post regarding our pre-season progress? Things like: Are Ayce Cordy and Jarrad Grant putting on muscle bulk? Is Stringer looking more cut? Who is training the house down? Cooney's knee and Morris' leg, recovery? Any other injury updates? I have read that...

With KT's heavily vaunted trade to Sydney not getting done in trade week, he will be available in one of the drafts. Whilst I don't rate him as an elite, he would be a massive coup for this club if we could land him, and certainly take the best defender on opposition teams, something we...

Fair dinkum, there is more than a whiff of draft tampering in respect to events from the last couple of hours. Per The Age, the following are done: 1. At 10 o'clock, GWS and GC neglect to bid on Jack Viney, meaning he slips to Melbourne's second-round pick. 2. 5-10 minutes later, GC agree...

Prior to this season, we had 2. Roughead and Cordy. They are slow, and don't help with forward pressure, which is an obvious important part of today's game. Thank goodness Roughead seems to have found a home as a FB (similar size to Fletcher which is handy), but it begs the question, what...
