Full Time ..frees 21 to 8 Eff me. We were second to the ball all night. No surprises there. We were but let’s not let those pathetic excuses for umpires off when it mattered… Dogs constantly caught with ball … Dogs throwing the ball???? Saints forwards had no back apparently it was ok to charge int...

That's without doubt the worst performance we've offered in over 15 years. There were way worse games under Ratten, Richo and Watters in that time. Lyon’s second worst losing margin though (60 points vs 61) Yep Ole Vort /Caurnsman posting the exact same cut n paste dribble on BF I can recall a 111 ...

I would have been doing the opposite to trading King I’d add more King I said 4 years ago Max and Ben - twin towers - one at chf (Max) away from the goals and one at FF (who leads well and is a dead eye (Ben) You need a point of difference to win a premiership 2 x 202cm key forwards with speed and ...

Multiple routes to goal. What a novel idea It’s amazing how often clubs become over reliant on one man as the main target. Makes you predictable and easy to counter. It needs constant vigilance. I agree Think it takes pressure off King too - we need to get to a stage where his success in a game is ...

Sharman isn’t ordinary he’s just being asked to be an everywhere man atm and that’s a tough gig
Let him settle as a forward and he’ll do fine

Does Garcia take Butler spot?
Become that hard small pressure forward who can also in future spend bursts through the midfield??
He’s got that aggression you need and yesterday Giants walked it out of our F50 with ease….

Nothing like an over reaction. Glad some are not on match committee or head of football 74 games and Ave just under 2 goals per game in a team which has made finals once in previous 4 season. Give it some context: Tom Hawkins first 60 games averaged 1.3 goals per game Jack Riewoldt first 68 games a...

Doesn’t need to be traded Needs a rocket His effort and body language is unacceptable He was getting flogged by Taylor for 10 minutes Then lucky for him Taylor was subbed out, instead of stepping up and taking advantage of that he was limp as an old lettuce leaf Don’t care about goals - just effort...

A trend now???
He was great against Pies…
1 game coach said we made it hard for our talls and it’s a M King trend??
Bizarre

I hope it’s a knock nothing more n he plays next week
Hands down our best forward

No.

I don’t think so …bizarre
Let’s get the pitch forks go get King…”in case” we get another Plugger type deal….
Batshyte crazy stuff …

When Plugger left, 3 years later we made a grand final. Just saying. No flags tho Just sayin Swans got some though.. How many did they get with Plugger? My point is that if he left for the right price, it’s not the end of the world and could work in our favour. My inclination is to keep him at this...

Our back end draw looks better …8/9 at Marvel ??
Just have to stay close …3-4 by Rd 7 would take that

Wots the bet it’s PCL 4 weeks

Yep I’d play him high and Caminiti and Hayes/Marshall deep I agree Trade talk is just dumb Check out how we turned it over and brought the ball forward for 3qtrs Dumb? He is unquestionably talented. At worst he will become Joe Daniher who is a frustrating gun at best he could be the dominant forwar...

Again… acknowledging that this isn’t an apples to apples comparison, this is why I hate persevering with out of form players or building the fitness of senior players in the seniors. Absolutely should I have started ahead of Butler and was worth dropping Jones even for him to start as sub as both h...

He also be said Henry had cramp

Fine to debut new players as sub - lots of sides do it and facts are last week for Hastie it was sub or bye at Sandy? Jones had 14 touches , 3 tackles Is a mature 29 yo mid - not a kid He’s either 1. Being rested ahead of 5 day break for Dogs (he took a heavy hit late) Or 2. He’s simply not doing en...

This forum is full of valuable information and well thought out solutions to all our problems

I think this type of IP ought to be kept in house…

The lockdown 'smothering' style is important to have in your toolbox. We are very good at it. It allowed us to slow the game down, get it on our terms, and build a comeback. It's the transition to an attacking style that we need to get better at. 1 goal in 60 minutes of footy. I know we are missing...

Fix the midfield. A good midfield can make an average forward line look fantastic. Yep Amazing how good forward line when ball comes in quick n direct …..how often do we see Roze type break aways into our fwd 50 from our midfield???? I mean honestly??? Never Slow build ups that allow defenders to g...

In Ross we trust

I’m enjoying this season so far. I do have hope some here don’t see us being anything for at least 2 to 3 years but those same people say that every year.. some of those same people I’m glad I don’t associate with at the games or in life in general …. no I’m happy with the way we are going. I have ...
