seriously, i have no idea. have always had doubts about craig's game day skills. but, i have always been along for the ride with the playing group that has been building over the last couple of years. i honestly thought it would be turned around this year. i understand we have had some...

i only get to see on tv, so unless a commentator mentions it, it's very hard to see structural moves made by the coaching group. unless they're very obvious. one of the criticisms of craig's coaching is his lack of match day tactical nouse. my understanding is that it's not that he makes bad...

longmire's first crack it, having a ruckman as a sub was a howler and surely won't be repeated. the next act of stupidity from an afl coach would be to start the game with 2 ruckmen on the ground and a ruckman on the bench. this leaves the team with 2 effective mid-field rotations against 3...

ok, i'm a little durnk (he he). but this is one of the most exciting years in our short, yet proud 2 flag history. our coach is working pretty much with his own list. it's young, but it is also full of quality people and players. going into last year, although i understood the retention of...

after nearly getting through the 'round 1 team' thread, i thought that the structure of the forward line deserved it's own discussion. i hope it hasn't come up before, and i know it was mentioned a couple of times within the other thread. it's pretty safe to say that we play rutten at fb...

who is most important to the team. and given a reasonable finish, who kicks the most goals. if we finish in the bottom of the top 8, i suggest that tippett kicks 60 and walker 30 or so. naturally these numbers are based on kurt not having to ruck anywhere else than the forward 30.

mckay - hard, long runner. cannot go backwards dangerfield - fast inside ball getter. porplyzia - short, fat dynamo that is really good when not so fat. tippet - goliath, HUGE MAN. unbeatable when given good delivery. please add.

not sure about everyone else, but centrebet have taken my coin. if all others do the same, then today could well be the biggest result in favour of bookies in the history of australian sport.

now that gc has signed bock/krakour from adl/power, under what circumstances can they snare another player. i understand they have some rules regarding previously drafted players. could this include a guy like chris knights/steven salopek who have $4-$500,000 contracts from gold coast in front...

seen a few threads on this. but seriously, it is his last year. this is now his team, the 'old guard' has all gone. given a decent run with injuries, i'd expect finish no worse than 6th after home and away. if worse, he's gone. unless his team progresses to prelim. then another year...

might be wrong forum and probably someone has mentioned this already, but i can't find it, so i'll bring it up again. there seems to be an obvious interim solution to goal umpiring errors. the way i see it only 2 issues arise from goal umpiring errors; 1. scoring team is awarded with...

i hope they're right when they say there's no such thing as a stupid question. but seeing as the compensatory pick has been a bit confusing and changed somewhat i am hoping to get a bit of clarification. from what i've read bock's gc salary etc has resulted in us receiving a late first...

big night tonight, very exciting, but crows will go a long way. same as hawks plan. go crows.

apart from tipping on footytips, and getting it wrong, i didn't make many bets on crows. had them in a couple of double/trebles throughout rounds 7-9 through doubles and lost. then all of a sudden at 600:1 on flag i had a go. only reason i had was improved form and getting fit players on the...

thought i'd get a better response from the port board. anyway, i read both boards religiously, althogh i'm agnostic like the new pm, but the 2 boards are amazingly similar. there has been a time delay, which i presume to be caused by the relative success of the footy clubs. but the...

i've already done my nuts on the 600's before last week for 2010 flag. can anyone find a reliable market for 2011. what is the price. i reckon we'd be overs if we can find a market. great available tall talent, best contested clunker in the league, enough quick young mid's, solid defence...

as a supporter with a team that has a) quite a few good young footballers, plus bock/thompson b) a heap of them out of contract c) potentially a coach who may have lost the players we would be ripe for the picking in the event that gold coast had eyes on a few of our players. i understand...

i predicted port to make the 8. and, i think, on the verge of 5th/6th. i posted that it relied upon brogan holding up first ruck, otherwise port would be in trouble. i can go back to those threads. but, do the rest of the port supporters (i am one of those), realise how important brogan was...

ablett/pickering state no decision to be made until end of season. therefore no news until that date. surely time to ignore any rumour etc regarding this matter. hopefully, laid to rest for this season. please don't mention again.

you adelaideans had better fill the stadium next week. couldn't quite understand how he could go from 1. best 22 one week 2. travelling emergency the next 3. then in a 2-7 season not be guaranteed of a farewell game the next week is the season was on the line, maybe, but gee.....

potentially we could be looking at 8 retirements/delistings at the end of this year. that's a pretty big turnover of players and doesn't include losing one to gold coast or anyone who may want a change of scenery. if these are replaced with draft picks, we'd have to be about the youngest list...

from abysmal, underdone players, big injury list, getting the system right (eg walker in, 2 ruckman) to getting only just beaten by a port team that i picked to finish top 8 (and always play their gf's in showdowns), are we that far away. given the inconsistent form of the top few, maybe we...
