I would think the year 1-4 players may return for training soon- possibly even as early as next Monday. Does anyone have any information here? Coaching panel announcement you would think would be imminent then. Interesting to see who is training with us in pre-season period Murray - and...

The likely move of the four SA and WA teams into the AFL probably in 2025 provides the AFL with an opportunity to reduce some of the inequities in the competition that currently exist. The reserves teams together will hopefully be able to have full access to anyone in their state - as well as...

We have clearly improved this year compared with 2022 and this has come about through the improved movement of the ball and introduction of more skilled players. we may have even got a top 8 spot with some improved goal kicking and some dodgy umpiring as well as possibly undertaking the...

Worrying signs Thinking our rebuild has finished Tex looking for the body again rather than attacking the ball Filthy playing soft and bruise free football Resorting to Sloane in middle Probably losing our first touch mid at end of year because of stubbornness of coaches eg crouch Defence...

With the season now half over and byes occurring it is now time to reassess our side and make some subtle changes to a team that plays well at home and inconsistently away during games. With Doedee out Worrell becomes a key player. He would have been a better option on Jack on the weekend but...

We are playing a much better brand of football this year and it is good to watch for the most part We are A poor kicking team for Goal and it has cost us 2 if not 3 Games We play well when the game is on our terms but we can still struggle When the opposition gain momentum Our young players...

I think we have all had a gutful of our players who make poor decisions and are poorly skilled Soligo Taylor and Parnell have these in spades It is such a pity Taylor was injured as he is tough no nonsense highly skilled footballer on both sides of the body Soligo was terrific on the weekend...

After seeing the first four rounds of football for both the seniors and the twos there is a need i think to prioritize the development of a number of players who will be in the side and key players for the foreseeable future. That means getting as many games into these boys as possible and...

I have asked for weeks For Strauchnie to play and you can all See the reasons why in the last two weeks we should combo up rob and Strauchnie next year. This would provide us with a fairly lethal combo and avoid the situation where rob tires in certain games all the crazier because when He...

We are getting the team ready for the next tilt but there is still some work to do. Cook is the latest domino to fall will be a player as a number of others have already commented Harry will be a star and Murray and butts will form a lethal combo down back Pedlar and berry will become the...

The season is on the downhill slope. it’s time to set our sights on next year and make appropriate changes where required i think we need a tagger. On another thread I suggested Ned to be that person. He can run all day. He is a serial Pest and works well in close. He could take guys like...

Went to Richmond oval and was impressed with much of what I saw There was much better talk amongst The boys and very constructive talk about where to be and who is looking after whom. This has been a Significant improvement since earlier in the year pedlar needs to get fit but will be a fan...

tex looks in need of a rest. He is no longer attacking the ball with gusto and once again is being led to the ball and not approaching the marking contest with Any authority. I thought clurey Took him to the cleaners and he was a liability with his lack of influence in the game and lack of...

The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing again and again and hoping to get a different result Why have we reverted to kicking the ball high and aimlessly into our forward line in the remote hope we may get one of our talls to take a pack Mark. The last person to take a...

I have watched this lad in about 7 games now and if he was asked to play at the next level I am Sure he could do it quite seamlessly. He has what billy does not have a football brain. He plays tall and has some tricks and consistently makes good decisions. I think he could play in the midfield...

I don’t think both can or know how to play. Jones simply runs to the wrong places on the ground and Mcasey looks disinterested and cannot keep his feet. These two misses at round 1 are killing our chances of Improving quickly.

If we want a mid with some X factor some serious speed and acceleration go no further than Elijah Hollands. He can kick long goals is dual sided around Mid 180cm and has some self confidence. Look at young guns Game before GF to See how good this kid can be. Dad played for westies. May have...

If one thing came out of the day is that we Need to completely recast the midfield In the next year we need to get first round picks who have a clean take. Atkins Brad crouch Seedsman Jones are all plYers who never take the ball first time. There was always a slight bubble whe they take the...

The jungle drums are getting louder. Crouch wants out. Richmond are the team. Announced as a real possibility on SEN this morning. If so heads must roll. So many people wanting to leave. The side needs to go to WA and have a look at how the Eagles are run. We dont appear to be a happy...

Have now seen this boy play sample size games at SANFL level. He is definitely an AFL player, local boy and has a lot of tricks. Firstly, he can find the ball either on the ball or big amounts or playing half forward. He just knows where to run to get the ball. He can take a good mark for...

Was at the Prospect oval on the weekend and saw Hunter actually dominate the rucks against the roosters. His tapping is elite and silver service compared to Sauce at the moment. He hit them on the tit on most occasions or hit it to dangerous areas in the square. I made this comment in the...

People, Just starting to get worried we might lose Rory next year. Heard reports that he was going to sign front ended contract that did not eventuate. Then comments about Belinda wanting to go home. We cannot afford for Rory to go home. Whilst Tex is a the captain, a matchwinner and heart...

Wigg has been on our list for three years. During that time he has been an emergency on 3 occasions. He was recruited because of his elite and ranging left foot kick. His has the ability to hit targets and play either in defence or on the ball. If there is one thing we do need is another...

Its time to upgrade this young man. He is the tall Mid we need He has the footy smarts. Can extract the ball and can kick goals. He can play forward. He has some pace. I said on another thread once he gets in the team I don't think he will go out. It's his time pikey

what is happening with this young man? Really started to show some more consistency last season after an injury ravaged year in 2014. Could be the long term answer forward. Enable Mitch to play on the wing or other parts of the ground. We need to give this guy a contract

Lyons has been arguably our best mid this year with the exception of sloaney. He is a great user of the ball and he has provided tex with so many passes this year. He is a good footballer and his consistency has been great all year. He is a good extractor and often picks the best options...

I completely agree with Kane Cornes over Collingwoods lack of respect to Thommo on Saturday. How poor was it? I vented my sleen as they left the ground. Ben Hart only person with some class. It is an unwritten rule to pay your respects to 300 game and retiring players. We did it for Shaun...

Surely this is the year when we can break the hoodoo we have had over the years against the Blues. Last year after a big win against the Pies we played so poorly and let Menzel, Simpson and co tear us a new one. The year before we had Tex going down. We need to win this game badly but I have...
