I wasn't going to post this but what the hell... So my local cafe tends to have a lot of AFL folk get through it, probably due to being right near TLA management HQ. I can only guess Samo is repped by them, because he was there on Thursday where I accidentally on purpose sat at a table nearby...

Like anything stats / numbers, they are really just an indicator rather than a full picture. I am 6'7" and was as slow as a wet week (still am I imagine), my 20m sprint times were sub 2 secs and on paper, looked elite and were considerably better than my best mate who was a state level...

So again, why bother quoting me and responding then to contribute nothing?

Why even bother quoting and responding to me? Seems pretty counter productive and contributes nothing...

So he should be let off because Cripps does it too? I'm calling for everyone to do the 1%ers as we won't be a good side without our players doing them. If I'd seen Cripps do it, the same post would have been made about him and it's far more important for the captain to do it. There was plenty...

I don't want to s**t on David after his best game in Navy, but there is something that stuck out like dogs balls to me that might have been missed by some, that I would hope the coaching staff look to address with him. With approx. 3:15 to go in the first, a decision went against Cunners on the...

Must admit, bit surprised to see Doc in it...

There's no doubt they take longer and I am a pretty big fan of SOS's work, but Weitering basically picked himself... I'm not rushing to pat him on the back for this one like it was a masterstroke.

I'm extremely pleased we were able to get BK into the club @ 17. Quite clearly best available at that point and a well played game of chess from our recruiting team IMO. Put as much stock into Chris Doerre's (Knightmare) ratings as you like, but he had Kemp at 3 in his Power Ratings after his...

This is Knightmares Power Ranking entry after the carnival this year... 4. Brodie Kemp Best position: Inside midfield/utility Height, weight: 192cm, 82kg Recruited from: Bendigo Pioneers Projected draft range: 3-20 Plays like: Marcus Bontempelli June Rankings: 6 Rationale: Among the midfielders...

I read that somewhere else here too, on what platform did he say that? Others also mentioning our reaction in the 'war room' after taking Philp. Did I miss it all on Fox or was/is it somewhere else? :think: :think:

Did they quickly duck down to the local asian discount store for that jumper? :think: :p:thumbsu:

I don't mean to come across as picking on you, but that is a very poor and unlike conclusion to come to. Firstly, saying his sprint was poor and using it to suggest he is needing to build his tank is actually ridiculous. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Fev was great at the GF...

It can most certainly be built over time and Liam looks certainly to have those hard working, dedicated qualities in order to achieve that. The generally accepted wisdom is that it takes most players 3-4 pre-seasons to get that continuity and residual fitness to a point where they are on par...

Eh?

So I had a few beers recently with someone who works in the strength and conditioning department and is also in charge (part of) of player minutes for the Northern Blues. Safe to say once I found this out, I grilled him on a lot of players... He was extremely glowing about Liam. "He will make...

Will be looking forward to the training pics/videos this year as even though Jnr. Mittsy and his brother have always had a bit of sloppy rig syndrome about them and performed, would certainly like to see him in better shape. First time ever I've had full trust in our conditioning staff which is...

Would be difficult to be upset with getting Kerr at 65.

The Tuohy situation is a bit baffling to be honest. Is it the club decided he would be shopped, pre-Gibbs statement, thinking he was one of our only movable assets? Have they low-balled him to get him to leave in a trade or has he got a touch of the greeds? Was the Geelong nomination a curve...

Took a ripping mark (would love to see more of that) and got a lucky one in his lap, but you've still got to slot them and he did 2/3 times. As the FOX lads said 'if you're going to be a 5 posession player, you have to make the most of your opportunities' and they're right, he needed to slot the...

Way to totally miss the point. Have you read the discussion? I was saying I think using personal who are part of a future, or provide benefits to players who are to be part of our future through leadership or other such means, as opposed to Jones, who I consider to not be part of our future...

Let's not paint Jones as a sharpshooter here either. It's not that much of an improvement kicking wise and we really don't have that much else in the shed. Other things that are important for forwards these days include marking, forward pressure, providing a contest, leading patterns, footy IQ...

I must add, FWIW I think Jones will possibly be picked this week or in the near future if his forms holds up in VFL. I just don't think he will provide us with enough when/if he does get a chance. If he proves me wrong and becomes a good player, no one would be happier. I want our team to...

He might not, but that's the only way I see Jones playing seniors for us in terms of balance. Can't have both IMO. They are preferable as forward options because I just don't see Jones as part of our future, where they could be/are. They could play in the same team, as those boys all play down...

Strange comparison to make, as Liam is a professional. In your example he would be a pr0n star (a pretty bad one too) not some kid having sex for the first time. He made it to this level having played the game many times and is being paid a healthy contract for it. Don't get me wrong, if the...

I get that and fair play with the DA question too, personally I just don't think he has a future with the club and at the moment, we need to be all about the future. For those players that won't be around when the reset is up and firing, they bring leadership, they bring protection. I don't...

Not usually one to harp on negatives, but I don't want to see Jones in our seniors. Whilst he looks to have played a good game the other night, to be honest playing good/great VFL footy has never been a problem for him. Whilst he took a couple of nice grabs, he got a 50m penalty (by the looks)...

Let's be honest, the kid isn't the greatest orator of all time and is going to need some serious media training. He basically mumbled and fumbled the same answers out that his manager probably told him to say while the media picked away at him. But who cares? He might not be the sharpest tool...
