Yep, cos we were miles off saying it about Ed Phillips.

Loosen up skipper.

If you disagree with my post that's fine but keep your personal skipper clip to yourself

You know who never said die? A lot of dead people.

Time gets us all in the end.

I wasn't at the ground but watched it , do you think Goddard is more mobile than Roma ?

I do think so, but stand to be corrected on it cuz I am no guru hehe

But also for long term, I think Goddard is more a KPB, Roma is more Ruck/KPF to me, but once again no guru.

Plus I just feel giving Hugh a taste of it again will hopefully get him switched onto improving, if he isnt already switched on that is

I take it you're not a zany fat sailor who set off for a 3 hour tour then?

bummed we had such a convincing win yet battle couldn't really cash in. Kinda game you'd hope he kicks 6 and demands a spot. won't be long till bruce is back in the mix and it's that much harder to get a gig

Saw Bruce at the ground. He didn't look like he was moving around well at all. Looked very sore and proppy to me.

 

[Saint Watto]

The melts on here on Thursday if he's named will be of epic proportions.

If that happens I'd suggest wearing a welders mask when viewing posts !

 

[Saint Watto]

I have to deal with those every month.

All I can suggest VDS66 is.....Duck!

Maybe he's had a set back.....saw him at training at RSEA pre Pies game....was running around quite freely that afternoon.

BoG for my main man Dave!

Looks like this confirms his level. He can rack up possessions in the VFL but not get enough of it in our current forward line at AFL level and the younger players are more value in the midfield. He can play out the rest of the season in the VFL and, as others have said, only get promoted if Dunstan or Steele are injured and he can come in and play an inside mid role.

 

[Joffaboy]

Never indicated that it would, nor does anyone on here think they have any influence at all...but it won't stop the melts nevertheless

Some people do.

Quite sad actually

That goal tap in from the pocket today is nice.
But not Ray’s best.
That was a jaw dropper.
Last year, same pocket, and just used his speed. Bang!
We are going to get pumped by the Weagles if we rock up next week with a “standard” game plan.
Hickey is our most critical player for that game.
If he cannot negate the Weagles rucks, we’ll be murdered.
If he can place some constraint on their dominance, we have a chance.
We need to mix it up and hopefully play against expectations.
Speed is one way.
Risky, but heh.
Here for a good time....

So can we just have a foot race at training with the first 22 home being on the plane to Perth. Or maybe the first 21 plus Hickey.

I was liking the post up until the point you mention about Dunstan getting injured. Looks like Dunstan out Armo in this week!

Given Carlisle has been rubbed out.
Who was best performed from our KPD's at Sandy.
Joyce? Goddard? Clav?
or are we going to swing Marshall back in order to have a vaguely reasonable backup ruck?

Dont see us going up against the Eagles with 1 KPD vs. Kennedy, Darling and Lycett.

Not 22 or 21.
Face off.
Mano e Mano.
Connellan is our boy, the Weagles?

I admit it's a rough art, but Joyce has been in the *bests for 3 of our 7 games, including a BOG.

Austin zero out of 5, and both Goddard and Clavarino zero out of 7.

You do the maths.

*Edit: Note this is from the VFL site post-game reports.

 

[Greg1853]

Luck o' the Irish certainly wouldn't go astray

I say play all three Irishman, Ray Connellan, Conor McGregor & Darragh Joyce and just see how they go. They are all on our list aren't they?

Personal? Get over yourself champ.

No. Really? I for one am shocked. SHOCKED!

Armo is a warrior, and a top drawer bloke, but he’s done. His body won’t let him be an AFL gun anymore, and a tired journeyman is just taking games from kids we need to blood.

Bullsglhit he can more than hold his own with the feeble Dunstan..ultra reactionary Steele or ec
ven the timidity of Ross.

[hayes]

Hopefully Connellan can find some form we desperately need SOMEONE who can lock the ball in our forward 50 with Long out.

You know what? I really hope so, because I love the bloke, he’s been a favourite for a long time.

I just don’t think I’m wrong.

 

[PaddysurDaddy]

I'm most excited by molten ganglands, anyone got a clip of that goal he kicked?

Soft underbelly is rearing its ugly head. Ross is the worst offender. One way traffic.
