Ollie Henry looks passable, BradClose is okay, and I guess Gryan Miers. I'm not too familiar with the Carlton forward line outside the KPFs....Obviously you've got the eye though, so I'm really keen to hear your evaluation. How do these Geelong list cloggers compare to Carlton's lot which are...
What a brilliant win by Sandringham as expected our midfield wore them downin the 2nd half. Cooper Sharman kicked a check side pearler from a pocket to put Sandringham in front with a couple to go. In the end it was the winning goal.
Brad Crouch bog Mr In and Under just wins first use of the...
If the AFL is serious about stamping it out then surely he gets 2 weeks as did Will Day for his tackle last season on BradClose. Close played on and wasn't concussed but I can't remember what the medical report said and this is almost always what determines how many weeks if any the tackling...

Essendon’s Nick Hind talks finals footy, current form, contract status and his career thus far
While he admits the club...
I’ve definitely noticed a huge improvement in George’s leg speed this year. I didn’t want to draft him after watching his games last year, but he’s come a long way. Good on him.

Word out of Ess (I believe Brad Scott said it) is that Bryan was consulted prior to bringing in Goldy and was fully supportive of it. Either Bryan just said he was supportive because he was put in a pretty impossible situation, or there has been genuine communication about his progress and...
...a decision making process based on order of merit on VFL performance. In my opinion under this thinking, you will end up with a very good VFL team. Many AFL players never dominated at VFL like Hardie has. If BradClose played VFL, I'm not confident he would be in the best players every week.
Didn't Tom Atkins break the vfl tackle record in a game before we gave him a go? Fair to say he had defensive work as a translatable attribute.
Fair to give Hardie a crack for sure though.
I take your point on everything you've said above.... As a reference point for my opinion, and I am not a massive atkins fan (love his effort, happy he gets a game, but also think he is limited.....) Atkins is a better player than Hardie and was a better player than Hardie at VFL level before he...
...were Shane Mumford, Jackson Sheringham, Jonathon Simpkin, Sam Menegola, Tom Ruggles, Tom Stewart, Ryan Abbott, Darcy Fort, Tom Atkins, BradClose and Tyson Stengle.
A few misses, a few serviceable players and some gun players as well. Licorice allsorts.
At the point where we drafted him...
It's a good thing ppl never watched Bradclosely in the 3 peat years. I found he was running around sometimes away from the ball to open up holes in the opposition's structures. A deliberate tactic and part of our offensive strategy.
Brad has his strengths and weaknesses if he was 5 years...
Couldn’t agree more!
Derm is brilliant because he focuses on what’s happening off the ball, outside the range of the TV cameras. He therefore provides invaluable insight to TV viewers. Yesterday, for example, he alerted us to how the Lions were loading up through the centre square on the way...
Round 3, 2012. North are playing the reigning premier on a Sunday twilight. North came back from Hobart thumping GWS by 129 points and Geelong pulled off a bruising victory against the flag favourite Hawthorn on Easter Monday. North are ranked 13th for average age and 13th for experience...
Didn't you hear Brad Scott's press conference? We could of won by 100+ the last two weeks, but that wouldn't have been sustainable against good sides, so making it a close scrap was better for us.
ROUND 11 – KUWARNA (CROM) VS. WAALITJ MARAWAR (WEST COAST REIDGLES) – Sunday, May 26 @ Adelaide Oval
Our second match of Sir Doug Nicholls Round sees Waalitj Marawar trek to our second home ground, Adelaide Oval, to take on Kuwarna (the mighty Crom).
This is out first meeting of the year...
Shit I thought he was 29
Was gonna say maybe he's playing with injury? But you're right he could easily be cooked. Hes not the world's smartest player he solely relies on his bravery and physicality to win the footy and if that's dropped away (the second part anyway) then he'll walk straight off...
Melbourne supporters always looking for excuses to just poor form.
Maybe just maybe, Viney being close to 31 years of age and right at the back end of his career could mean that he's simply cooked and we just simply accept that as it is..
Look at Brad Crouch from the Saints who came in the...
The Fluoros lean heavily into umbrage as response. The weedy centrals then develop their own set of clues, their "little miracles" that get screamed at (against?) your club in the following weeks (seasons?). If they're going Salty Chris and his boys, mang, there's serious head wobble with...
Can't keep giving him a pass because players are injury prone. He is responsible for rehabilitation, yet we see the same players going down with the same/similar injuries over and over. Maybe you're right, and there's just nothing that can be done about them, but we'll never know that until we...
