So how did this group make 3 finals in a row, even with all those injuries? Either GT was a better coach than many like to admit or the players simply won't play for Lyons because he is a poor motivator and coach? Really what did the former board expect -you sack a successful coach who has the respe...

Why bother getting anyone? Not while we have a coach who fails to squeeze any ability or motivation out of the players. If we trade roo for, ooh lets say williams, (not that the hawks would make that trade), then roo would probably play with renewed confidence, remake his name, and we'd regret it, w...

If Harvey's within 30m he should look to pass it to someone in the crowd three bleachers back directly between the posts! Goddard the same but he can try from 40m. Frase currently couldn't hold the ball long enough to drop it properly onto the boot. Milney I'd be happy to see play on and kick around...

Think about it... you run a business and employ a new manager with no experience in this position(the old manager ran his division very successfully but you didn't agree with his management style...and you personally didn't like him). The same staff are there - many well respected in the business co...

Do we expect players to be self-motivated - well yes - but in most it needs to be taught - it's like expecting students to be self motivated -the best ones are - the rest need to be taught self motivational skills. Teams know this - a few years back NY Yankees added a specialised motivational coach ...

Yes it's hard to watch -especially given our 2003-6 years (2003 because we could all see the potential -we knew success was coming) but for long time suppoerters - this is nothing - in the late 70s and through the 80s i was happy when we simply won a game. Supporting your team is part and parcel of ...

It's easy to be critical of draft picks after the event - but don't forget our highest pick since 2003 was no. 17 - mcQualter - not so good but look at other picks around him: 1 7 Jordan Lewis Geelong Falcons Hawthorn 1 8 John Meesen Geelong Falcons Adelaide 1 9 Jordan Russell West Adelaide Football...

Bottom line - what was Ross Lyons agenda as seen by the club and as promoted by him? Was it to rebuild, as the current list wasn't up to it, or was it to fine tune a team on the verge of glory - bring some much needed game day nous and player 'accountability' and top up the list I don't know - i was...

How typical of the afl - ban players from blogging sites? Doesn't that show respect for the players - are we in china? How about politicians?

The stats need to be viewed in perspective - we were a genuine chance in 2004,5 and going into 2006. All this time, but especially so in 2006 we suffered injuries to key players. We couldn't replace them with kids as we had to win every game we could in that year to challenge. We had to take the sho...

Kind of scary but perhaps Blake - did job on Cloke last week -maybe ( a big maybe) he can step up and contain Brown - 4 goals conceded would be just about a win. Would send Kosi back - whether roo plays or not - give Kosi a shot a FF , alternating with CHF thru the game. Max could go Brown but i'd h...

If our midfield wins as much ball as last week (Ball brilliant - got BOG in The Age), and our bigger names build on last weeks improvement , with or without roo we are a good chance - as long as we learn to kick to a feasible target!
