The Team (vs. Western Bulldogs)

[Darealrath]

Massive loss but I still think the game will be won or lost in the middle.

 

[Big Blow Hard]

I think it will be won and lost at Telstra Dome.

 

[Slattery_20]

Yeah, in the middle like he said. They don't play in the locker room, do they?? (unfortunately!)

Donsman4eva,

A couple of points. Lloyd has been a great servant of the club, but he's body isn't up to it anymore. He dives far too much for my liking and that is reflected in his inability to kick the big bags he use to. He needs to attack the man and the ball more and not play for the frees.

The only way to get the kids ready is to play them. Lucas and Lloyd are close to there ends, we need to throw out a challenge if we will be successfull under knights.

I want to see real men out there playing, busting packs like Brown, not skirts playing for frees!

Disgraceful post When Lloyd was tearing the Roos a new one in Round 1 I bet you didnt think he was passed it then!?! Lloyd doesnt dive . He does play for free kicks at times but so do most players. The kids you want in arent ready yet so there is no point droning on about it.

You blokes that are bagging Lloyd are kidding yourself, our captain is clearly the best spearhead since the great Locket, Ablett and the Pig. He was HUGE in round 1, got no service in roud 2 and kicked 4 in round 3 (including a couple of definitive captains goals) without even playing that well. It makes my blood boil to read that shite, he has been an absolute champion in the top 5 players at Essendon next to Hird, Watson Madden and TD in the last 25 years. Peanut!

He's body isnt as relaible but he's still a wonderful FF, other clubs would be laughing at you!

 

[Sam the RAMA fan]

We just got to go there,
give the boys our support and hope for the best!

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

Shocking news but at least gives us a chance to give Paddy a full game up forward. Altho I prefer to settle him at CHB we dont need 3 talls downback the way the Dogs line up so just this week lets see how he shape - I think FF and leave McPhee in the lead up role. There may be grounds and opponents where Johns would fit but a ronning side like the Doggies at TD isn't one of them.

2000 and 2001 he kicked over 100 goals and we played in two grand finals for a premiership.

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out the connection...

And in 2002 - 2007, only one player kicked 100 goals, and they didnt make the grand final.
