Im meeting Stan Alves at a coaching seminar next Wednesday. Any body met him before and know what his like?

I met Stan in 1996 with my old
Man I was 13. He was a legend spoke to us for ages at pre season training and he Got all the boys over to sign a jumper for me . Even Trevor barker came over and signed it . Was awesome .

Ross Lyon's Freo 2015 are a poor man's St Kilda 2009.

 

[Kildonan]

Quite an impressive win by Richmond

 

[Saint Luke]

I got the margin wrong, but I have been convinced of this result all week.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Well done Tigers.

Still lacking skills in the Freo side.

You'd think Weller would be an improvement over Suban.

its not just suban though. ibbotson, sherridan, suttcliffe, daniel pearce, duffield. they are very very average footballers who crumble under pressure

hill is one who cant take a tough contested game

mayne is hit or miss. same with zac clarke. cant believe he's actually on a list

you cant replace that many players, they just dont have the depth

i said earlier in the year they should have been pumping games into weller, langdon, crozier, blakely for this reason. they needed to bring in some talent and trade some out last year. they need a decent HBF with good foot skills

 

[L_W_P]

Seriously?

They are 9-1. Richmond blew them away with some amazingly accurate goal kicking in the first half but Freo wrestled the momentum back and were chasing down the lead. If Taberner holds onto a couple of those marks across half back who knows what happens.

They are still well and truly in the hunt this season.

agree they are still the best team out there but their draw has been very good so far. no top 4 side from last year away.

the players i mentioned are not finals footballers, similar to brett peake. good home and away player. terrible finals player

Does sandi realise he can tap to someone besides fyfe?

Plenty of times others were free but he taps to a running fyfe with 2 players hanging off him.

kick it to roo syndrome.

Chris Judd has just most likely just done an ACL. Sad way to end for one of the best midfielders of the past 20 years.

Very sad news if true.

One of the best players of the modern era. You never want to see ACLs on the footy field but this one stings more.

Hopefully it's not that serious and he can have a farewell game and if not, we have seen the last of a champion footballer.

Carlton Cripps is a bloody good young player. Smart and strong in the tackle.

 

[God Save Max King]

Carlton Cripps is a bloody good young player. Smart and strong in the tackle.

Because of him, Docherty and Menzel, the Blues are probably a bit ahead of where we were in 2013. Question us if they'll have the balls to have an off-season like we did that year.

 

[Mowman]

Will be a ripping player, love the way he goes about it

 

[TheLastEmperor]

So many spuds in the Carlton team

 

[rodney86]

What a great result. Get Carlton's hopes up, then squash them at the end.

 

[aussierulesrules]

16 of Cripps' 25 possessions were listed as contested and he had 8 clearances.

Very good player, very much like a taller Matt Priddis or JPK.

He is a beast

 

[VDS66]

How has Mick's sacking worked out for them? Idiot football club IMO.

 

[By a Point]

I am saddened to see the likely end of Chris Judd. Good player, good person.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Very good player, very much like a taller Matt Priddis or JPK.

He's so strong in the tackle and getting a handball off, great in traffic and has neat disposal. Reminds me of a young Simon Black, will be a ripper.
