Please excuse the intrusion, but just wanted to come and say I was impressed with Jones’ game yesterday. Thought he presented really well and competed pretty well despite the delivery he got at times. Hoping he gets a good run at it this year.

I agree. It did have that feel about it and I think it’s one of the reasons that I don’t think the pies win it this year- they do have a tendency to let sides back in. On a different day the result might have been much different. My side won the game you’re referring to, so I have a really...

Watching as a neutral, not paying attention to the commentary, it really seemed like the umpires were instructed to not pay anything bar the completely obvious frees.. which is ok in theory, but in a match like today where every possession is hard earnt, clear missed frees that would be paid...

Watching as a neutral I have to say McGrath is just amazing. So calm for someone playing in his first final. Him and Zerrett in the midfield is going to be very annoying to all other sides for 10+ years. All the best for the last 3 quarters!

Sorry to hear that - puts things in perspective, doesn't it. I hope that you have the support to sit down and have a chat with someone if you need to. Those sorts of things can really mess with your head. :( As for your side, I hope you don't mind my intrusion, I just thought I'd post some of...

Thank you both for your quick replies. He is that awkward price. I like him as a player, so will watch for him after a couple of rounds if he can cement his spot.

Thoughts on ashby? Noticed he has been playing off a HB during the preseason- was that more so do to circumstance? Do you think he will get consistent games this year? Have considered him as a POD in my backline. Thanks in advance. Also, probably not the place, but genuinely ecstatic for your...

Most teams get a good run at home, when playing teams from interstate. The umpires don't admit that, but they do. We didn't actively go for the frees though, (we haven't really done that as much under Simpson) but a few were picked out that weren't paid last week or the week before. I...

The same thing happens to us when we beat teams. Just replace "injuries" with "umpires". :p You're right, we don't have a Watson player out. But we don't have a player of his quality. What we have lost this year has been our midfield depth. Selwood/Rosa/Yeo have missed significant chunks of the...

Sorry if it appears like I'm intruding, but just wanted to say that it says a lot about the character of the football club & the coach by the way that all involved have approached the start of this year. You guys have stood up admirably. Hird especially, I can't imagine how difficult it is to...

Thanks for the reply. I am kinda surprised to hear that though, especially with Hille out. The beauty of Ryder is that he seems to bloom with the added responsibility, and can really hurt you the other way. I would have thought you would try that with him this week. Or does it have more to do...

Without getting into the issue too much, it's going to follow us all year, regardless. For the most part, the frees are there, so its a little frustrating to be called cheats when most of the frees have been from clumsy tackles. As for the game this weekend, how would you plan to use Ryder...

Probably the two bolded points probably the more important things to take out tonight. Im not here to gloat btw, but I was pretty impressed with your first quarter and a half, if you can keep that up for at least 3 quarters you'll beat a lot of sides. Your skills are really top notch, your...

To be honest, I wouldn't be too unhappy. West Coast played pretty well yesterday, they always seem to do that after a derby, You really were beaten in the first half when you couldn't get your hands on the ball, but when you did, you were trying to slow it down, and I don't think you guys had...
