I assume those calling for Schoenmaker to come in against the Hawks haven't watched any of the Zebras games he's played. To put it simply: he doesn't go hard at the ball in the way that one would expect an AFL player to do. And Pou does? Am I living in a parallel universe? Am I the only one who see...

Brave? How is he brave?

Phillipou plays HB he averages 20 per game Not where his confidence is at atm he wouldn’t. I think the point is Sinclair went back to the 2’s, built up his body, learnt the position, got some confidence THEN came back into the 1’s, and look what an elite player he is! I fear we will never know how ...

You underestimate how easy it is to play HB And how tough it is to play HF Ask Harry Sheezel, Colby McKercher, Nasiah Or even Arie Schoenmaker in the VFL You defend corridor at CB then after the HFs go up to the contest, you sit back and play 6 v 4 in defence and 8/10 entries get an easy unconteste...

Mattaes Phillipou averages 12.4 disposals per match over his first 32 games of AFL football. He had a career low 5 disposals in his 32nd match. Jack Sinclair averaged 12.4 disposals per match over his first 32 games of AFL football. He had a career low 3 disposals in his 27th match. The other thing...

Some absolute couch fools on this forum. Anyone who watched the game live would know Luke McDonald, being the opponent focused tool that he is, was at Phillipou from the first minute. Pushed, poked, punched and scragged Mattaes all game. He didn’t give him an inch. Something Phillipou has never exp...

Hayes for Caminiti Wood for Sharman Webster for Cordy King for ... Higgins? I'd love to see King play like a forward pocket. Reckon he'd kick more goals that way. How exactly? It’s not the 90’s anymore. No one plays positions anymore. Talls play deep forward or mid forward. He’d have the same oppon...

How do they measure this pressure rating thing? Personally I reckon it's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard of. Our pressure was good on Friday night. Was poor against the Dogs the previous game. We're just not strong enough to hold the tackles. We're laying the tackles but the opposition is a...

1 thing Pou has shown - he’s very clean in congestion….and we have loads of headless chooks His 1 take quick hands indicate he’s got skills I’m not calling it yet on him Yep agree on that. Did some beautiful work with his hands on Friday night. Thught he might have turned a corner actually. But the...

Come in DB Cooper, Loris and Willard Saint because you are all exactly who I am referring to And I back in the knowledge of the likes of Lyon, Enright, Harvey, Hayes and Goddard over the nonsense you all contribute here They have all at the very least actually played the game at the level The peopl...

Hope you’re right

A handful. Got dropped in his first year

It just feels like we’re ( the coaching panel) are all in on Pou regardless of what he’s doing right or wrong. I suspect because of his size, his draft status, and his supposed willingness to train and subsequent good attitude has meant Ross wants to keep playing him. For the life of me I can’t see ...

Pou’s manager is an absolute flog. Tells anyone who cares to listen that Pou is going to be the best player in the competition within 3 years. A good mate of mine was at a function his manager was at and his manager told him directly If that’s what he’s listening to, God Help him. Another mate of mi...

Eddy did NOT play in the 2009 GF

And counting 2010 as two seperate GFs is also folly

Both games were played for 1 cup

Tell Leon Davis that, or Ben McEvoy. Or the Collingwood bloke who kicked the first goal in the replay.

My mate was standing at the tunnel where RTB walks through. A person yelled out, ‘never play Jones again’ Ross looked directly at the person who said it, and it didn’t look like an angry or defensive look according to my mate. Almost an acknowledgment. I doubt he’ll get too many more chances from he...

Maybe this makes me a softcock. But I’m on record of being one of Gresham’s biggest critics on here. But if he can turn it around I’d be really pleased for him. Certainly doesn’t change my opinion of us moving him on, he clearly needed a new environment, but I take no pleasure in seeing former saint...

If he goes back that is a big f*** you too Ross as he has played him every game and couldn’t have been better to him If he reads this forum (not directed at you) then it isn't going to encourage him to stay. What a load of crap. If he reads this forum then it’s purely to see if anyone is pissing in...

We'll play better than that. No need to get all sulky because we played poorly. We may not make the 8 but I certainly don't expect that to be our baseline performance. I think you've just got the s***s after a terrible performance last night.

Thursday night. People have work the next day and they're not going to hang around to watch that. After halftime I went to the bar and watched from there, but really it was just a distraction in the background as I caught up with mates I hadn't seen in a long time. Was a miserable effort and I could...

Hopefully if he does they overcommit with early draft picks. We couldn't have treated him any better tbh. Never seen such a golden run given to a young player with so little given back.

Let's hope he signs quickly - with any other club. Slow, can't take a mark and unskilled by foot. An absolute dud. I've been saying this for awhile. People keep telling me he's talented. My question is, what is it particularly I'm missing that will mean he will explode before our eyes. He's not qui...
