4 touches to half time is a disgraceful effort

Is getting some touches now… a further 7 so far in the third but no real impact

I reckon Paton plays mid and perhaps Bonner spends more upfield.

Seems like he’ll play a tagging role I guess. I feel like this is quite a well balanced team


Emer: Campbell, Byrnes, Pou

And the fairy tale is over

Paton and Henry in
Phillipou and Byrnes out

Phillipou, Byrnes and Campbell emergencies

I’d be excited to see Schoenmaker play…
Something about the kid. Feels like this was a bumper draft year

Really depends on the context. Sometimes a weighted value on a particular way of thinking could be a sign of autism… especially if it’s evident from a young age and prevalent across the lifespan (effect of support/severity) not withstanding. Alternatively, sometimes people suddenly latch on to mecha...

Or you could just not be Grandpa Mike. You know Grandpa Mike. Every family reunion everybody has to cater to his absurd hate of the colour red. No rhyme or reason to it… that’s just his thing. So the whole family goes to the effort of making sure that his plates, cups etc don’t have any red on them....

BM… I don’t watch any footy related media. As such, I had no idea what you were talking about or any inclination to follow it up. It would be nice however if you stopped adding steps to your posting. Actually bothering to go in to detail about what it is your talking about… in a thread that you star...

As an aside, I dont get the obsession with bringing Schoenmaker in every week, is it just the obsession with us getting potential value very late in the draft? Not knowing all the VFL stats, with all the focus on how many disposals he is getting I get the vibe he is basically a younger Bonner, all ...

I did a criminology grad cert for my own learning when I was new at my job (3-4 years ago) - I’m a health professional in a court setting. One of the essay questions I tackled due to its interest, was are the Australian public happy with their legal system (or something to that that effect). At this...

Our backline is not great.

Just a little FYI, I merged them all on request

Higgins for all of his flaws is quite an effective and pretty consistent small forward. If he could straighten up his goal kicking to always mail the gimmies, he’d be elite

I have been bullish on Byrnes since his strong start to last year but IMO his game has too many deficiencies. He’s an extreme runner that can’t win a lot of ball… so whilst it’s great he gets to contests… he tends not to do a whole lot there. Given that he’s not lightning fast… he’s the type of play...

Why …someone tell me why Max King can’t lead up at the ball carrier??? Why stand around, wrestle, for miracles?? FMD if you jump you’re about 8ft ….so stand and wrestle??? Rob Harvey WTF are you teaching re forward craft …oh wait.. 1-5 down centre clearance…wow we are way off it 3 years away.. IF e...

If someone does not like this post for political reasons, then tough s***. I rest my case on a truth Defence. I don’t like this post on the basis of needless hostility. The content before this was an opinion that you didn’t back up… which is fine. Then you fire the above out directed at… the people...

Another issue IMO is the picking btw causes. I want to start this opinion off by making it clear that this view is not directed specifically at particular forumites - most notably BM and fireman who have expressed a preference for football to stay out of social issues. I respect that and don’t want ...

200cm key defenders are hard to find and even average ones are worth having. Howard has played some solid football for us in the past and when it comes to one on one his record is good except for the heavy giants like Dixon and Hawkins. He is not strongly built and that's a pity. I think the issue ...

Are we a bit too tall ? Both our small forwards are out so I thought Collard would come in. The ball might come out of our forward half too easily (like usual) if it hits the deck. I love Hayes but his selection says Marshall is missing ?? Given that he’s not in great form… and I know it’s already ...

Yes, he played well for Sandy, but I thought Ross n the other coaches were reluctant to drop anyone

Are you kidding. Do you think they played well last game?
FMD!

18 touches, 6 marks, 3 tackles, 7 hit outs

Seems like a decent return

Well Allison is gone… no questions there. Jones appears to have run his race Ross and Membrey are struggling for form now and age is against them both Paton simply looks to be a shadow of his former but may be saved by the lack of a suitable replacement. Especially if Webster retires. Dougal Howard ...

I gotta say… really impressed with young Caminati tonight. Presented and locked dangerous. Our forward line in general is a bit of a shambles with King, Caminati, Coops and Membrey being too tall and all over each other. Seems to me that Caminati is the most competitive of the bunch but he seems inc...

And Howard has ruined any good will he built up while he was missing

Most seem reassigned to a loss Hard to know what an acceptable result would be. Am not loving the fact the Caminati is playing hurt. It’s been suggested Howard plays forward too which makes me feel we’re way too tall. With Byrnes in poor form… feel like we’re a mid down too. Seems like less than 30p...

Pbly his best performance on the year to date IMO. I liked that a lot more than his bigger numbers against lowly opposition

Wish we’d kept him ahead of Jones

I was going to go but learned that trains had been replaced by coaches on my line. That adds an hour to a trip both ways, on a night where I would have struggled to get home by midnight anyway. I ooh’ed and aaah’ed RE driving but battling peak to either battle parking or pay $25 for a secure spot wa...
