Re: Crab watch

Did you read what I wrote?

Pretty clearly wrote .... Injuries probably haven't helped

Either way he is now back fit playing on a weekly basis however he is not even close to replicating the form he showed as a 21yo to 24yo

Reckon he will retire at the end of his contract (end of next season)

Re: “Innovate or perish: Why the numbers just don't stack up for Ross Lyon“

Hope is not a strategy. We need change in action to turn this bus around. Well maybe Crouch and Clark back in fit with Higgins return is change we need to spark the playing & coaching group back into action Guess we will see this week .... no excuses now with our best most experienced team avai...

Swap those around we have shots 49% of the time once we go inside 50 .... and the opposition only have shots 44% of the time once they go inside 50 ... we start winning

Re: If Ross Lyon is feeling it

Harley is a Victorian ... doubt there was a go home problem there for North More a 'concern' that he'd want out at the first possible option. Let's face it, very few will likely be surprised when he requests a trade from WCE to a 'big' Victorian Club. How crushing would it be for North if, after th...

If Harley does a Judd (comes back to Victoria) there will only be a few Vic teams in the hunt ... the usual big 4 or 5 ... he was a Geelong supporter growing up

Re: Just get it going forward

Agree 100% … the chipping in the backline has happened all YEAR. Most other sides .. run 10 / 15 metres outside the square and pump well outside 50 arc. We are 2-3 kicks and still inside 50. Enright needs to be accountable for this. It is a flaw in the game plan … It was a horrible watch on the wee...

Re: RoMa in the ruck

Grabbing the ball out of the ruck would be considered a hit out ... first hands on the ball from a ball up Point is that we don't seem to be capitalising from this tactic Also RoMo might have broken even in general stats with Jackson but Jackson was a bigger influence in the outcome of the game... a...

The 'reasoning' for the list going backwards this year was partially explained. Last year was "have our best crack with what we've got, see what our ceiling is". This is year is "play the way we want to win our next premiership, even if we don't have the skill level for it. Prioritis...

Re: RoMa in the ruck

Maybe those in forward positions can play in front and try and anticipate a hack dump kick

It feels like Romo has been doing it as we are currently lacking the inside ball winners around the contest

Crouch and Clark back in should help in that sphere ... so maybe now we might see less of it

Re: Bonner to Hill, Freo goal
