Couldn’t agree more. Marshall has to go.Can someone please tell me the point of brown. There is none. He goes. Webster in for run and that thing we lack. Skill. Clark stays but lucky. Same with hind. Goldstein for Marshall.
Need to start using some emojis Plug. Your humour is hard to work out sometimesI was joking. I was doing the opposite of what girls seem to do when married. Yes you are correct. Just on that do you think my divorced wife should still have my surname. The only Benicia is I’m nearly first in the phone book

Not sure about Clark- I reckon he needs to spend summer with a running coach and get those legs working. Apart from Steven, none of our mids can really burst off the mark.
The kid has got the skills just needs time to get the stamina to compete with some of the elite runners.Clark’s ball-handling skills are potentially elite, but you are sot on: his fitness is a long way off.
He ran a 10 min 35 sec time trial over 3000m in pre-season which was apparently a big PB for him. Unfortunately that is still a very slow time by AFL standards. Someone like Steele Sidebottom (who he will be coming up against on a regular basis) runs 9.20 for 3k, so he would literally lap Clark over 3k.
Perhaps 6 weeks of training with a group of middle distance runners prior to the next pre-season might bring up to a reasonable standard.
To me, Clark has the talent to be an A grader, but he’s going to have to work harder on his running than others with similar high-end potential to get to that level.
Agree.
Not a spud at all but definitely not an A grader capable of playing as a lone tall in the forward line.
He’s been down on form the past few weeks but started the season well contesting and bringing the ball to ground for the smalls.
Finished watching a replay of the first half of the game. Billings, Acres, Marshall & Gresham clearly our best. Newnes & Bruce look like two guys coasting without concern their spot in the 22 is in jeopardy.
How did you sit through it? That half was as bad as I have seen any AFL side play for years.
You been stalking me buddy , i said the same thing a few weeks back but yes i agree with you 100%Not sure about Clark- I reckon he needs to spend summer with a running coach and get those legs working. Apart from Steven, none of our mids can really burst off the mark.
Serious question do they still make phone books , i havnt seen one for agesI've started flicking through the phone book for Plugger Aardvark
I think they do but you may have to request one. Biggest waste of paper ever.Serious question do they still make phone books , i havnt seen one for ages
Sorry mate disagree bruce has been a spud for 3 years. He had one good armo year. Hes just not good enough lets not sugar coat it. Doesnt have the footy smarts or great hands required to be a forward.
Bruce is smothered every game , double team every time the ball is in our forward line - If we get another marking target should help him a lot.Playing Bruce's role under Richo's game plan would make any and all FF's struggle. He has done well to cope as long as he has battling often against 2-3 defenders and then opposition ruckman dropping in front of him. Now has lost confidence, he needs help and the obvious move early on would have been Battle.
Bruce is not a super star but who do we have to replace him. Paddy was shot the day he started. King needs lots of time. It's easy to bag players but when we dont have replacements and a coach who loves to kick 10 goals a game it seems a pointless exercise.

If it is all the coaches fault though, why is Membrey still playing well? Top 10 for the Coleman at the moment.Playing Bruce's role under Richo's game plan would make any and all FF's struggle.

We can beat the Lions and we could of beaten Port but we got flogged.With a win next week, we could be equal 6th spot coming into round 15
Safe to say the competition is in terrible shape
Maybe when we have our best players available, but dropping these guys while we have so many senior players out would do us more harm than good IMO.Guys like Newnes & Bruce are currently best 22 but for the long term we should be giving others the opportunity in their roles. We’ll never improve with those two holding up two key roles in the side. Coaching team needs to get creative & try others. You just never know we might find another Wilkie gem.
Bruce is another who puts in every week but is out numbered due to our forward line set up - very rare you can get a forward player to run up and down the ground like Bruce and he is ● Ranked 10th in Total Contested Marks in the AFL so going by this he is one of the best marks in the competition.7 contested marks in a game
Hands are ok
I thought Bruce starting to throw himself into some contests seemed to start a bit of a momentum shift too. He was getting towelled up but started to push the defence around and made them look over their shoulders. Before that they were strolling around looking like they were playing stress free footy.
Goldstein for Marshall.
You mean lake
