You mean we’re in danger of a win?

1. Another ageing star is the last thing we need. 2. We didn't get rid of him. 3. No more to say.

Scapegoating? I think Tom is a good player, and shouldn't be pushed out. Other sides will come for our better players though, that's just what will happen. If our midfield was humming along beautifully, we'd have a harder decision to make. If someone offers us a pick inside 20 for any of our...

You literally said he and Ollie were the scapegoats. I don't follow you, I don't have a problem with you. I don't defend players to get likes. I defend players from stuff said about them that isn't true, and I defend them when people disrespect them. Shiels will probably need to be phased out...

Look more closely and they've already addressed it. Shiels is not playing on-ball anymore. He's playing wing, half forward and holding up his end by tackling and pressuring the house down. Has made one or two mistakes by foot, no big deal. Shiels perhaps should be dropped in favour of a younger...

Out of practice! "Clarko, isn't there a term for this, like when someone plays their first game..? What was it ...medical sub?"

You may have a point.

There's only a certain number of people here who actually perceive Liam Shiels as a whipping boy. I'm of the opinion they don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. He is one the of the hardest working players in AFL history (look at the all-time tackle records). He may be on...

Against my better judgement, I'm getting excited for the game on Saturday.

Brisbane probably. Upgrade on Lyons. Fagan knows Tom's value.

I don't think we really want to trade Mitchell, Sicily or Wingard, but the offers will force our hand. Those players are not really in a position to refuse a pay rise to go and play with premiership contenders, and we are not in a position to turn down first round picks offered in exchange.

I don’t think many around here hate Hanrahan. He’s getting better, but he’s starting from behind the 8 ball - he’s missing some attributes to play his position to the elite level. So he must make up the difference- Puopolo style - with fantastic work-rate and attack on the man and the ball. He...

Reeves is the only player on our list with the abilty to turn our fortunes around (no pressure). We just need a circuit-breaker in the middle. I’m excited to see what he can do. His selection is a double whammy, as we’ll see McEvoy in the backline where he could really dominate Carlton’s forward...

Clarko said we'll take one player in the MSD. We're likely to hold a top 3 pick, so we should be selecting the best available kid like it's draft time. Thorne looks great, and I'm not worried about his height - guys like him can provide a contest in the air because of their leap. I hope he's...

Is that like people who do 9 weetbix?

Well, what can I say. Hope that’s not the case.

Complaining about our drafting is just pointless. Been hit and miss like everyone else’s. Also, you call Hartung slow? You could criticise him for almost anything else, but he had good speed. O’Rourke was certainly worth the punt. Lovell stagnated. Something that really hurt our midfield was...

Held over to take his spot in the senoirs next week?

Don’t reckon he’ll play too many more games for box hill. Can’t wait to see him and Day back in. Sounds like they’ll both be there post bye

"Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt." Or vice versa if you wanna describe our season!

Pretty well-reasoned. He and Impey sent a message to the coaches and their teammates this week with their bursting through traffic and kicking inside 50. We'll see both of them in the middle more often.

The ‘obsession’ with Finn is nothing more than a need to make sense of the ‘plan’ for our midfield. We have had the worst performed midfield in the competition for 3 years running. Finn is the only inside midfielder we’ve added to our group since 2019 (unless you count Saunders as a rookie this...

Reckon that’s a harsh assessment against the premiers in his first 10 minutes for the year. Especially to describe it as if he had anything to do with us losing that match. You might mention how we crumbled under the pressure in the first 15 minutes of the game, after which the Tigers flicked on...

Sort of.

???

Alright. Somebody tell me that were getting Horne, Daicos or Sonsie.

Haha apparently there’s a difference between being a ‘clubman’ and just man who is great around the club. On changes, it’s a bit depressing honestly. Can only think of one player who might make a tangible difference to our team and that’s Burgoyne. Seems like Brockman sat out VFL in...

Anyone got Josh Dunkley’s phone number?

There is no doubting he is a ripping player and person.

All of the above. We've been beaten at stoppage for most of Clarkson's career. Part of that was by design, we used to rely on other strategies to win (i50 pressure, turnover, precision-kicking). A few years ago Clarkson said publicly that we were becoming more of a contested football side, and...
